- EEricPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI love the servers here. They absolutely love to make you feel welcomed and happy. Came here for a date night, even though they were a little delayed/held back for our reservation, the wait wasn’t extremely long. And they made sure to make it up to us by providing free appetizer and dessert. 5/5 would recommend for a nice date night.More infoCanard - BurnsidePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Northeast Portland•4.9

- IIreneVIPPortland / Oregon •34 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoSome friends got married on short notice after thirty years together so we impulsively invited them to a celebratory dinner on short notice. It was also a third guests birthday. On the drop down menu, we called it a "special occaision" but to get special attention such as what my husband and I have enjoyed for our own anniversary last month, I should have chosen anniversary or birthday. Nonetheless, the service and food were excellent. The booth for five very comfortably seated us for light conversation with a view of the river for four out of five. From time to time some other guests were rather loud, but overall, for most of our meal, the noise level was low enough to converse in inside voices. In December, Salty's offered a reward for buying gift cards. I did so and highly recommend the ease with which I redeemed the rewards for our anniversary and used a good chunk of the gift card for this evening's dinner.More infoSalty's on the ColumbiaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Northeast Portland•4.7
