    It was magical! We got a beautiful window seat, the big harvest moon was coming over the city. Our friends after all the years of living in Seattle area had never been to Saltys on Alki! What a wonderful experience for them! Yeah Open table, and getting a window seat at 430 pm! Our waiter was on top of his game, the food was delicious and the conversation and company could not have been better. An excellent experience in a beautiful restaurant.

    I’ve been going to Jack’s for many years and I was used to getting a little salad with my order of steak. I was surprised and delighted when we had the option to choose two sides with our meals. Now there’s been a drastic cut back with only a choice of potato with your steak and no salad or vegetables included like in the past. When I asked the waiter about it he was just very matter-of-fact. I feel that the wait staff and the hostess were not as friendly as in the past. I’m assuming they’re getting more money and that’s why the cutbacks at least customer service should go up and you should feel heard and welcome

    I had the Camp West Smash burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve had in a while. I chose tater-tots with my meal for $3 more than fries. Some restaurants can be skimpy but Camp West gave me plenty. I really appreciate that considering the added surcharge. Our server was very attentive. The camping motif was excellent right down to the camping thermos on your table for water. The crafted cocktail I had was very good and priced reasonably. They accept reservations, which I appreciate, but didn’t appear needed at 7PM ON A SATURDAY. I haven’t been to camp West in a while and remembered I Loved it and will go back without waiting so long this time.
