"Salty’s On Alki Beach is a go-to spot for high school prom dinners or retirement parties that involve blowing a 401k on seafood platters. The SeaTac location doesn’t quite have the same charm (or torture, depending on who you ask), but if you're flying out early and require breakfast, pop by their grab-and-go counter. The bacon and egg breakfast sandwich comes on a fluffy brioche bun with slabs of bacon that jut out of the sides like an iceberg, and melty american cheese that becomes one with garlic aioli.

5 stars! This restaurant is famous for its clam chowder and boy, does it deliver! We ordered the clam chowder with Dungeon crab, on top and the blackened halibut. The halibut was paired with a rhubarb strawberry sauce, which sounds unusual but trust me, it works! Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Don't forget to also order the dessert. It's amazing too. Special shoutout to Mo, our server, who provided great recommendations and exceptional service. Highly recommend!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Salty’s at Seattle Airport – A Hidden Gem! I had an absolutely amazing experience at Salty’s in the Seattle Airport—this spot is a must-visit if you’re passing through SEA! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and elevated, and the food? Next-level delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—definitely not your average airport dining. But what truly made my visit unforgettable was Nikki. Her service was top tier—warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made me feel genuinely cared for, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. If you’re looking for a quality meal and five-star service during your layover or before your flight, don’t miss Salty’s—and ask for Nikki if you can. She’s a gem!

It’s an airport so ambience is not really an option. Chowder is out of this world, definitely recommend! I ordered a chefs special honey lavender salad with king salmon. Very tasty but a bit pricey. Lovely staff, very attentive and on top of it. Thank you Nicole 😊

The claim chowder is some of the best. Amazing sunset view of you are there at that time. The salmon BLT was very tasty. The lavender salad was great too. Joshua was a fantastic server. Very helpful and attentive.

My flight was delayed so why not sit down and enjoy myself. A variety of seafood but I ended up going with the seafood chowder and Caesar salad. The chowder was amazing! So many different pieces of seafood and well seasoned. The staff were very friendly though the hostess sat me in a rather dirty location by the window. Luckily my server noticed and cleaned it all up rather quickly.

This place is overrated and overpriced! I ordered the large oysters but received two small ones (see the picture). The salmon sandwich was tasteless, and I had to ask for tartar sauce just to make it less dry. I suggest trying a different seafood restaurant—this one is not worth your money. If you’re in a rush to catch your flight, I also recommend choosing another restaurant.

My coworker and I wandered into Salty’s SEA around 9:30am on a Thursday, full of hope and airport-induced hunger. I had stars in my eyes and fried seafood on the brain—until I found out breakfast only. Dream slightly deflated. Undeterred, I scanned the menu like a detective solving a mystery. Chowder? Check. Seafood omelette? Sure, why not—how bad could it be? (Spoiler alert: I found out.) The chowder? Comforting and creamy—like a warm hug in a cold terminal. The seafood omelette? Let’s just say some things are better left swimming. Egg and seafood was not a combo I would return to. My coworker had the bagel and lox, which was solid, so at least someone walked away happy. Price-wise, I’m not sure if I paid for the food or a piece of the runway. It screamed “airport tax,” but the service was fast and friendly, so that softened the blow. Overall? Cute place, great staff, but I won’t be writing home about the seafood-egg fusion experiment. With so many options at SEA, Salty’s isn’t a must-stop, but it’s not a total miss either—just choose wisely and maybe… skip the omelette.

We had a crab toast and 6 tier-2 oysters. The toast is a little sour but doesn’t smell fishy. It’s so delicious. And the oysters were really fresh and especially, the sauce that comes with it is unique and excellent.

I don't normally leave reviews but we had a great experience here! The food was delicious and everyone working, from the host to our server, was a delight. Especially at an airport, that is rare. Nice environment and spacious too.

Main character energy at Sea-Tac Airport. If you've been to the Alki location then you should check this one out too. Not a recent visit but it still warrants a review. After deboarding I came here for a late lunch. My server asked me if I wanted to order a drink and I said, "No, thank you. Water is fine." Then he gave me more time to look at the menu. He came back and asked me if I wanted a drink again. Good gawd, man. Short term memory? Super aggressive and annoying. Little did he know that I was offered free drinks while I was on my flight. Anyway, I ordered the fish and chips with chowder, a classic combo and it did not disappoint. I had a front row view and watched runway activity. It's a unique and beautifully designed restaurant and it was nice to relax here before heading home.

My oh my. I am handing out the stars this week! I think I'm starting to get the pulse of what is good...or not. This Salty's is legit super good, great wait staff and the food is really really good. If you have the time, you should eat here! I had the Coconut Crusted Prawns. I was pleasantly surprised how large and scrumptious they were. Sorry photo was of the last one because I was so hungry and they were so good! One of the patrons at the bar I was sitting by suggested a sherry drizzle on the clam chowder. I've never had or heard of that before but what the heck. I like to try new things. Boy, best pro tip for 2025! Wowed me. Really makes the flavor pop - loved it! If you have the time to enjoy yourself and have a bite here at the airport in SeaTac, I definitely recommend Salty's at the Sea.

Salty's is always a great spot to dine if you get a chance. The waits aren't typically long at all. Being by the water makes for a great calming or romantic aesthetic. The food is tasty, I do prefer the seafood dishes and raw oysters of course, pairing well with champagne or white wine. Try a creamy dessert cocktail by the fire at the end of your meal... you'll love it!

Salty's was a nice place to stop in for a quick dinner after deplaning. This was where the parents and I were parting ways and Salty's was a great way to share one more meal together. Clam chowder and a salad for me. You can never have too much clam chowder in the Pacific NW. Tonight's meal didn't disappoint either. My salad was crisp, fresh and tasty as well. I think the whole Seattle vibe is fabulous. Our wait staff was laid back and friendly, even as we rolled in late. Thanks for making our "see ya later" epic.

Salty's is a local seafood restaurant in Seattle with various locations around the Puget Sound, so it's nice to have some local flavor at the airport. This review is only for the "Grab-N-Go" counter on the side of the dining room area. LOGISTICS Located in the Central Terminal after getting through security, Salty's has nice views of the airstrip with its sit down dining. I didn't have the time so I ordered hot food from the counter on the side. There are some limited hot options available for takeout, otherwise they have "grab-n-go" items like salads, yogurt, etc. available. From when I placed my order, it took about 8-10 minutes for food the come out. One weird thing is that tip isn't automatically calculated at the counter - I had to manually enter tip at the kiosk... really weird when other places just do a % option. FOOD Fish Sandwich ($16) - Hard pass. At first glance it looks decent... but upon first bite, dry and flavorless, almost incredibly so. The tarter sauce they added wasn't enough to rescue the dry-ness. It reminded me of the Fishwich from McDonalds... only way moe expensive. It's sad to see rockfish treated this way, but I tasted more fried breading than rockfish to begin with. Seafood Chowder ($16 for bowl) - Between the two things I ordered, this was the better option. Served hot, creamy, and delicious with a bag of oyster crackers for topping .Besides the traditional clam chowder flavor, this featured other seafood like bay shrimp and scallops which made it extra flavorful and a little more fulfilling than the usual clam chowder. OVERALL If it wasn't for the fact I was too lazy to go to the N-Terminals to hit up Beecher's or Floret being randomly closed early, I would have gone elsewhere. Maybe the other hot sandwiches are better but I'd highly recommend going for the seafood chowder. Regular clam chowder in Monterey Bay will run you $15 a bowl off Cannery Row, but at least the seafood chowder at Salty's features other seafood like scallops and shrimp beyond just clams. Still, it's nice for SeaTac to feature local options like Salty's.

I had to end the Seattle trip with crab and this place was the spot! Get the Crab Cluster ($28)!! Totally worth it. You basically get a clean Dungeness crab (head off) with warm, clarified butter. It was soooo good. I also had the chowder and salad combo. It was ok, I could have totally skipped it and just focused on the crab cluster. I would def come back for this dish.

I had the clam chowder and Caesar salad and really enjoyed both. The chowder was one of the best I've had in a while. Service was fast and friendly, and I appreciated they asked about my flight departure when we were seated. I declined extra pepper, but should have said yes just to see the server manage the 4' pepper grinder. :) Only complaint is that a simple soup/salad combo shouldn't be priced so high.

Got to have breakfast here and we were seated near the window so it had a nice view. Our server was attentive and nice. We ordered: Warm blueberry scones- this was so delicious! It came with marmlade butter and raspberry jam which complimented the blueberry. Must try! Seafood chowder- also had so much seafood it was so good. Lobster scramble- personally im not into cherries in the scramble but this was so good, paired woth the toast. Flank steak with potatos and scramble eggs- the steak was good everything else was good too but steak was definitely the highlight. Would definitely recommend this place if you have some time waiting for your next flight!

I wanted some good seafood chowder before leaving Washington, so as a last ditch attempt (and per staff influence) I decided to give Salty's a try. Everyone who works here is lovely. Service was prompt and straight forward. I especially liked how the wait staff automatically brought water out before taking my order, which ultimately saved five minutes of waiting. When it comes to the chowder, I unfortunately do not agree with the general consensus on it being some of the best....but I think it's because my chowder experience at Diamond Knot Brewery in Mukilteo was so spectacular it is really holding me back from being able to enjoy some of the simpler chowders lol. There's just nothing like theirs in terms of consistency, color or flavor but it's okay. What I will give Salty's props on is that their seafood pieces are very generous & are bite size. You get nice chunks of scallop, shrimp and potatoes in almost every bite. In that sense you get your money's worth for the $16 you'll pay. The waitress also asked when taking my order if I wanted a piece of toast to go with it. I usually just eat my chowder with oyster crackers, but I must say the garlicky buttery bread was a nice touch. Overall Salty's is a nice place with seemingly very fresh seafood options, so I do recommend them for that. The interior is also very nicely designed and there are TV screens w/cc for you to be entertained while you wait for your food. The reason I'm giving them a 4/5 is because when I was asked about the ONE slice of toast (which was cut in half) I wasn't informed that there was an upcharge of $5.50. I also didn't like that when I placed my order for the chowder the waitress didn't ask me if I wanted a cup or bowl, she just automatically brought me the bowl.

When we fly we like to come to saltys at the bar. I orders the soup and salad combo. Seafood chowder with Cesar salad and add 1 oz of crab meat. It is the perfect meal to have for flying and not being too full. The service can be slow but the past 2 times have been quick. It just depends how busy they are and who's the bartender haha. They aren't always consistent. It is a nice big place to come. The bar has a decent amount of seating as it almost wraps around the bar. There are also enough tables to sit at and bring your luggage by you.

Exceptional Experience @ Salty's at the SEA. I was in search of a delicious meal and after eating here, it is now on my short list with having one of the Best Chowders I've ever had !! It was very tasty and full of clams, shrimp, and scallops! Yummm. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted and buttered with spices, I enjoyed dipping it in the chowder, so good! The Caesar salad was crisp, well tossed in its dressing, and topped with Parmesan. The friendly hostess was prompt and sat me quickly, making sure I had enough time to enjoy my meal. My server, Felicia, was on point from start to finish. I observed that she was consistent and attentive to all of her patrons. The clean up crew was ready to turn over tables when the time was right and meticulously set them up once again. I enjoyed watching this crew work well together. The restaurant itself is in a prime location in the busy Central Terminal, but it has a spacious layout and once I entered, I felt calm, comfortable, and ready to enjoy my meal. Delicious food, Delightful service, and an Appealing atmosphere amongst the hustle and bustle, is a recipe for Success! Thank you.

We were exhausted and looking for sit down, wait service restaurant in our terminal- this was our option. We checked in with the hostess about 45 minutes to sundown- and this restaurant has huge windows overlooking the planes outside, facing west- aka, the sun was blazing on anyone sitting close to the glass- which is where we were sat, and at the very edge with just a partition wall separating us from the general food court seating- double ding on the hostess. That and we were sat at a tiny 2-top table with no place for me to put my bag. The restaurant was not packed** Our server was fast and friendly- he was a 5 star server. We ordered a burger to split, being full on seafood from our visit- we weren't about to order it in the airport. The burger was good, fries too. Just enough food to satiate both of us. Being exhausted before traveling across country made for me wanting more for our dinner experience.

I miss the Anthony's that used to be here. I thought the Salty's menu was lacking reasonably priced items - like fish and chips was $38! I know halibut is expensive, but that's ridiculous! I had the crab Mac and cheese for $40 and it was just ok tasting. Service and ambiance is great, but not impressed with the food.

Annie R.

Yelp
Saltys at the airport was identical to Saltys in west Seattle! We walked from our gate like 15+ mins to come here because all the other airport food reviews were awful and we figured if we're gonna spend airport food prices it might as well be good and this was so worth it! If you have the time highly recommend. The salad and Mac n cheese are to die for!

AJ L.

Yelp
Pretty decent food here. Fish sandwich was tasty, nothing life-changing, but all in all a solid meal without a terrible wait - a little on the pricy side, but you're probably going to be hard-pressed looking for anything that isn't in the SeaTac airport. Local friends of mine are fans of the other "waterfront grill" locations such as the one out in Alki Beach, if that means anything. If you're looking for something uniquely Seattle to try right before flying out, this is probably going to be one of the more solid options.

With a 7 hour layover at SeaTac, I searched for a real restaurant in terminal C. Salty's had the best reviews and it deserved them! Jovanna was calm and attentive. I ordered the salmon stuffed with crab over risotto with an arugula garnish. Oh my! It truly was perfect. The tropical iced tea included lemonade and cranberry juice and was very refreshing. The atmosphere was very coastal fish market, with lots of crashing dishes, but the interior was fun and comfortable. I will look forward to eating here again during my next layover.

We just got off our flight from ATL, and had two hours to wait for our family member to arrive before we all headed out. Our first thought was halibut fish and chips! This is something that is extraordinarily hard to find in Georgia, and always a treat when I return to the Pacific Northwest. As soon as we headed out in the airport to explore we spy Salty's at SEA! Salty's is a favorite on the Columbia in Portland (our former home), so we knew we were in safe hands. We were seated promptly and when we told the staff that we were not in a hurry that we had just landed, she sat us in a quiet spot near the windows. There was no need to look at the menu, we knew what we wanted. We got the three piece fish and chips to share. The pieces of halibut were large, and cooked perfectly! The batter is crunchy yet light enough to showcase the fish! It was a perfect size to share. The tartar sauce was tasty and since we were sharing, they brought us an extra serving of both the tartar sauce and catsup. As a last minute whim, I ordered an Old Fashioned. I expected it to be good (it's my go to drink), but this was exceptional. I had to ask for the menu back to identify the whisky they were using.... it was Westland America Whiskey, distilled in Seattle. I was unfamiliar, but will look for it more often now, distilled in Seattle, it made my Old Fashioned a real treat. So, while, I don't often make a big deal of airport food, or even plan on eating in the airport, if you have a moment to spare, don't hesitate to stop in and give Salty's a try. They were the perfect, relaxing, tasty start to our 4th of July weekend in Seattle.

Really, really good airport food! Had their 3 piece fish and chips which was enough for a light lunch for two. The fish was freshly fried, batter crispy and oh so tasty. The chips were perfectly fried, crispy and piping hot. Service was fast and efficient.

I had the pleasure of dining at Salty's at the Sea in the Seattle airport and it was truly a delightful experience. We indulged in the seafood tower featuring crab, shrimp, and oysters, and every bite was a burst of freshness and flavor. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the impeccable service provided by Sean, our waiter. His energy, knowledge, and attentiveness elevated our meal to an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant boasts a relaxing ambiance with stunning views of the mountains and the bustling airport activities. It was a unique and enjoyable setting where we could unwind while watching flights arrive and depart. The combination of delectable seafood, excellent service, and picturesque surroundings made our visit to Salty's at the Sea a memorable one. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in the Seattle airport. 100% would return for another exceptional meal at Salty's at the Sea.

Lots of bar seating, with a busy dining room and great central views of the SeaTac runways. In the main concourse just inside security gate 3. Great friendly service from the bartenders, and food runners. As a tequila drinker, Salty's is the only spot I've seen top shelf like Clase Azul and Don Julio 1942. Needless to say, my spicy Bloody Maria's hit the spot.

Wow! The Seafood Chowder was amazing. Every bite had a piece of clam, or shrimp, or scallop or bacon or any combination of the previously mentioned. Creamy, well seasoned. I will definitely be back again soon!

Expect to pay premium airport prices for breakfast-we paid $100 for 1 coffee, 2 orders toast, potatoes and 2 entrees (after to and tax). The toast is an extra charge (not included in some entreas), so be careful because the server kind of mislead you by asking 'toast with that?' It could just be us because we are so used to toast coming with breakfast and we made an assumption. I heard a few other tables simply say 'sure when asked the same question. Steak skillet was super good, way better than expected, coming out fast. Potatoes and toast tasted a bit stale (not cooked to order but instead cooked ahead to save time). The scones were sold out early. Service was fast and good and we were seated right away. Great help from the runners.

Food better than we expected for being in the airport. The service was a 5. He was a professional service from their restaurant off property & we could tell. He had a Michelin restaurant professional server style to him. The restaurant decor had us feel as if we were not at an airport but a nice restaurant. We had a great experience. Highly recommend

Yelp
This was one of the better airport restaurant experiences I've ever had. Salty's at the SEA is a seafood offshoot of a small chain of restaurants in the PNW. The one in the airport is large with comfortable seating, a big bar, and even a full selection raw bar of fresh seafood brought in daily. The staff here were great with travelers, being quick and efficient and just friendly enough to keep everyone relaxed and happy. I had a seat at the bar, which was great not only to see the beer tap selections, but also because the server was super friendly and funny. I ordered the classic seafood chowder and Caesar salad combo; I got the feeling it was the most popular dish. People around me had the shrimp cocktail, cold seafood platter, and various fried items as well; everything was big portions and looked delicious. The chowder was just what I needed after having been on a week long trip where I was so cold everyday; it's warming food between long flights. Bonus points for the comically large pepper grinder! I loved the flavor of everything and freshness of the greens. I was full and happy, regardless of the slightly high total, which is to be expected in an airport. If you find yourself stuck in SEA for a few hours and hungry, this is the place to go.

OK within the last year, I've flown into Seattle three times and two times I've gone to this airport salty I just want to say the food the service the ambience all have nothing on the original regular locations. They have a great idea in concept, but the prices are way overpriced Customer service you could tell she had too many people so it was just fair. Wait time was longer than it should be for the time of the day I went. I just would really say no I mean come on now I've spent $100 there two times time and have not had a memorable experience not even a great experience. Also btw I am a Washington native so I grew up going to the one in West Seattle and Federal Way. Great experiences there not the airport.

The service was excellent and friendly, The food was way above what I expected at an airport. We both had the daily specials, my husband's mussels were sweet and very large, my prawns with risotto was very, very good, We also had the egg nog ice cream dessert which was fun and beautifully presented.

Perfect at all levels. Wonderful atmosphere, great seafood and excellent service. I have no problem paying $50 for a bowl of fabulous seafood stew. everything was awesome.

Such good food! Service was exceptional! Pro tip, if you have a large party, be ok with not always sitting in one big table. It's ok to sit staggered because this is airport dining.

A fantastic restaurant located in the main area at the Seattle airport! Beautiful views. I got the seafood chowder (added crab) and add a slice of the sourdough bread on the side!!!! Perfect!!

We had a morning flight recently and decided to get breakfast at Saltys. We got a Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich, and a Egg & Cheese sandwich. The sandwiches tasted great, but were very messy to eat, they just fell apart as we were trying to eat them. Not great for a sandwich at the airport right before getting on a flight. Also, the service was slow and I wish they had smaller sizes for coffee and other drinks.

Yelp
Last trip we were here for breakfast. We had to stop back so soon because of the Seafood Chowder. Our waitress was friendly and gave good service, but seemed to be overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was given (I counted 6 tables sat in her section in under 5 minutes). She also was able to make good recommendations backed by extreme detail on why to make that choice. She had a wonderful knowledge of the history to date on the business and the owners which she spoke highly of. To drink we had the Huckleberried Lemon Drop and the Mango Habanero Rita. These were balanced well. The Mango Habanero Rita had a slow heat that was complemented by the mango. The Huckleberried Lemon Drop was dangerously delicious! This is now one of my favorite cocktails. For food, we started (of course) with cups of the World-Famous Seafood Chowder. DO NOT PASS ON THE CHOWDER. This stuff is delicious. For my main I had the Salmon BLT. The salmon was extremely dry and was begging for a sauce (there wasn't enough crushed avocado to carry it either). Other than the wild sockeye filet being dry, the sandwich was delicious in seasonings and textures. My husband had the Triple B Burger. The meat was cooked beautifully and seasoned well. The lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles served with the burger were fresh and and completed the burger nicely. If you have time, stop on in. I know I will be back again!

Drink was overwhelming, oysters were underwhelming and tasteless but well shucked. Not a fan of the mignonette. Service was exceptional. $75 bill with a 25% tip.

Visited on (6/5) and service was super friendly, we got sat immediately and felt no rush at all because we were taking our time waiting for our flight. This was surprisingly not expected for an airport restaurant as the food had flavor and tasted good.

If you have the skills to crack the crab, it's a great deal. The clam chowder was decent (spice it up a little if you wish) and the service was fast and friendly. The view of the runway was a plus.

If you're not going to be in a lounge and don't want to settle for fast food, Salty's is a great spot at the airport to get nice hot food and good drinks. Most of the food here is seafood but they have some other staple foods like salads, sandwiches, and burgers. I also recommend Saltys for breakfast as well. It's good food to have before you get on a long flight. They have their own space in the concourse that looks out to planes landing and taking off. On a clear day, the views are really nice. Service wise, the staff is friendly and accommodating.

Mark L.

Airport food choices are usually dismal. Salty's is the rare exception. I had a terrific solo meal there on my way back to NYC. Not only was the food top-notch, the service workers were efficient, knowledgeable, and just really pleasant. Highly recommended!

Love the service and quality of food I get before getting on the plane. Definitely a place to get great seafood or cocktail! Can be busy but worth the wait.

Yeah it's my fault I didn't look at five other stores in the airport... But this small Red Bull was $8.82. Walked another five minutes and found a large one for five dollars, too late. This was at their downstairs grab and go spot by the way

Jim H.

Yelp
Very impressed with this place. Generous portions of good quality food. Probably the best airport food we've ever had. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. Yoghurt parfait was incredible with a drizzle of maple syrup. Service from Maureen was excellent. What a wonderful lady. She was extremely attentive and friendly.

Had a salmon BLTA with and fries. I particularly like the very thick bacon on this sandwich. The fries are those twice fried and good

Huh...who would have thought that an airport eatery would have a manager walking around like he actually cared about the service and food. The service was nice and the food was not bad. They lack the outlets to recharge phones and such (I think just at their bar). But, hmmm...a decent martini and a nice Malbec with my prawns and pasta. Been to SeaTac a few times and walked right by this place. I think I'll revisit in the future and try their crab Mac n Cheese.

It's stupid how good this place is. I was really disappointed to see Anthony's closed but this place works. Prices are a little on the high moderate side but I am here to tell you this is as good or better than any seafood place I have been to in Seattle including the vaunted Pike's area. Please don't change! Only suggestion - allergy to scallops - having a true clam chowder rather than seafood chowder with scallops would be wonderful. Or crab bisque. Yes, that!

My husband and I usually come here to eat before all our red eye flights. We are usually happy with our food but today I wasn't too impressed. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his. He got the prawn appetizer and the crab stuffed salmon, which he ate every bite. I ordered the chimichurri steak which came out with some pieces still on the raw side. I did tell the server and she did offer to get me another dish or dessert, she also took the plate off our bill along with giving us a military discount. The service here is always great and the margaritas are delicious. If you get there when the sun is going down the landscape is super pretty with the planes landing and taking off. It's usually busy but we've never had to wait for a table, the ambiance is nice but can be noisy which is typical for an airport restaurant.

tried the ahi tuna again, after being disappoint last time, and the taste hasn't improved. I think my camera even caught the tuna in a brighter color than it was and you can still tell it's a little grayish in tone. That's not crazy for regular fish color but the taste led me to believe it's not fresh. checked in with a friend by sending them a picture, they said it looked a week old too. Saltys is a seafood restaurant though, I did expect a lot more as this is my third time eating here and haven't been too pleased with the experience. at 24$(?) you gotta realize the price vs quality is not up to standard at all.

Had a bowl of chowder along with a side of grilled sourdough. Let me tell I so was not disappointed! Was delicious! Chowder had huge chunks of clams and was very hearty. Super filling, a real meal. Paired it with a Huckleberried Lemon Drop. Great little cocktail, very refreshing and tasty. Service is fast and Nicole, my server was very attentive. Glad I went with her recommendations. The menu consists of mostly seafood but there's a few meat dishes too for the Carnivores. Great selection of beers, wine and a variety of cocktails. Scenery is nice too. Located in the main terminal of Sea-Tac Airport with a fabulous glass wall view. Enjoyed watching the chefs shucking oysters while I was seated at the Oyster Bar. Which is a great place to be seated btw as I was able to plug in my phone while I dined. Highly recommend this restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere, great staff and just an overall great ambiance! I will be back in on my way back through this airport.
