    At Salty's, the vibrant atmosphere perfectly complemented our dining experience. The thoughtfully designed space strikes an ideal balance between casual comfort and refined elegance, with warm lighting and tasteful décor creating an inviting ambiance. Our server Kevin was particularly outstanding, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of the menu and providing attentive service without being intrusive. His genuine enthusiasm and helpful recommendations enhanced our meal significantly. Unfortunately, while the food was certainly enjoyable and well-prepared, the steep prices didn't quite align with the quality or portions. Kevin and entire staff worked seamlessly as a team, from the welcoming host to the efficient staff setting tables for the next guests, all contributing to a pleasant evening. The service culture and atmosphere at Salty's is not only commendable and worthwhile, had those factors been less stellar we would be choosing a different restaurant next time due to cost alone.
