Come for the view, stay for the seafood, pay for the whole experience are my twice experience since May, 2025. They often have Live Jazz on Friday nights.
I finally made it to Salty's for my birthday celebration in late May, after hearing about it for ages, and l've already been back once since. That should say something.
We loved everything we ordered both times. The mocktails and desserts were just okay, but nothing to complain about.
Yes, it's on the pricier side of expensive, but for the riverfront view, excellent service, and overall experience, it's absolutely worth it, especially for special occasions (or more often it your wallet allows!).
They have a large, rotating menu with themed offerings depending on the day, so there's always something new to try. The servers were attentive and polished both times we dined in, without being stuffy.
I'm planning to come back again this summer for dinner and a Columbia River sunset, can't beat that combo. I'm specifically thinking about their OYSTERS GALORE ON THURSDAY NIGHTS: 3 OYSTERS $8, 6 OYSTERS $15, and 12 OYSTERS $24. They were delicious both times I had them.
Parking Tips: Their small private lot fills up fast on weekends. There's additional parking along Marine Drive, but you'll be parking at your own risk on a narrow road, so drive carefully. Reservations are smart on weekends or holidays, but there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you're more spontaneous.
The decor? Definitely a little dated, but in that charming, nostalgic "seaside fine dining" way.
