Salty’s on Alki

Seattle


Salty's isn't actually on Alki Beach; rather it is on the other side of Duwamish Head facing Elliott Bay. In any case, the view of the Seattle skyline combined with the deluxe steak-and-seafood menu make this a big enough lure for people all over Seattle. Eschewing the fish-and-chips frugality of the rest of West Seattle, this place is distinctly upscale.

Choose from a range of succulent steaks or a long list of expertly prepared seafood, both local (crab and salmon) and not-so-local (lobster and rockfish).
