Our Anniversary dinner turned out wonderful, even though Salty's had lost power because of the storm that Day. They still managed to have wonderful food, drinks and service. Christine Attwood the events coordinator at Salty's was so nice to work with to help plan our 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner. All of the staff worked so hard to make our evening very special for us!

We had our wedding reception at Salty's. Everything was great. Jocelyn Phelan, the group coordinator walked us through all of the planning. She is professional and personable. If I had a business, I'd hire her in a NY minute. She is excellent in reminding us of what we were forgetting (one of the hardest parts of planning) at different stages and adding her tips for a great event. The staff was present for drink orders but not intrusive. the meals and various courses were served promptly. We had a couple hosts and plenty of servers. They had attention to detail throughout the night, including noting items left by guests so we could promptly get the items back to them. The food flavor was great. Salty's did accommodate our special menu and the dietary needs of a few of our guests. The combination of food, drinks and view made for a memorable night for our guests in the great Northwest.

OK - so we did have some hiccups - but - they were resolved in time and well within budget. You know - no one should really expect things to go flawless - you can't always get the exact color or something. Jocelyn Phelan & her crew - were totally professional every step of the way - I actually came out $24 under budget. I could not have been more pleased with the help & attention I received in planning this event - they worked with me and my budget. When we had to look for table runners - Jocelyn totally came through. The food, the dessert, the service - fabulous! I needed help with a florist reference, Jocelyn gave me enough options to choose from. I checked out all three, found the one that fit what I was looking for - I was totally happy!
I left extra gratuity because this team of people did such an outstanding job - regular gratuity just didn't cut it. I would totally book another event here again!.

Salty's is a very special place for me and my husband. Couldnt have asked for a better venue for our marriage with our close friends and family. Staff was incredible, the chef and his team were outstanding.

Jocelyn, our event coordinator at Salty's on the Columbia was fabulous to work with. Tables were arranged and set as planned. We ended up having 1 or 2 extra unexpected attendees and the staff was very quick to make accommodations, so smooth it was 'un-noticed' by most of the guests. Wendy, our primary waitress and the supporting service staff was excellent as well. There was plenty of parking to accommodate our large party as well as all the other Salty patrons. Cannot thank you enough for providing such a memorable event for our son and his fiance for their rehearsal dinner.

My husband and I had a Salty's luncheon wedding in August 2011 and had such a commendable experience that we returned to have our August 2012 one-year anniversary dinner party there as well. Not only was the food excellent, but the service is so far above standard that we were and are forever delighted by our experiences at Salty's. All of our friends and family mentioned that the service was so on top of it that they were always catered to and with friendly demeanor. My husband and I entirely concur! We couldn't have had better experiences, thank you Salty's!

Jocelyn and the staff at Salty's did a wonderful job attending to our requests and questions. The venue was beautiful, not to mention that we held our event near sunset which added extra magic. The food was great and the service was excellent. Thanks again Jocelyn! Will and Elizabeth
