The calamari is phenomenal and crab cakes were just ok. I wish they included bread for the price point. I had the Steelhead and really loved it, other diners in our party had the clam chowder and scallops and also said they were great. We were, unfortunately, too full for dessert. Service was excellent and the view was everything we were looking forward to.More infoSalty's on Alki BeachPrice: Expensive• Seafood• West Seattle/Alki•4.8
