Tasty food, servers worked hard, but service was slow and they oddly had to go outside to use the cellular network to print the bill and it took over 20 minutes. Went with a hockey team - they fed the kids way before us, so it was hard to keep them entertained while we ate.

Salty's is becoming our frequent "go to" for a night out. It is always consistently delicious. Stand out dishes include the vegan teriyaki bowl, fish tacos and tuna nachos. Plenty more to choose from. The menu is varied and creative. Patio beach view doesn't hurt either. A local favourite for sure.

I have had nothing but good experiences at Salty's. They have great food, great service, and awesome appy specials in the afternoon, although those are only available inside, *not* on the patio (my only real complaint). I recently had their Ahi + Avocado and their summer special Ceviche, and I would recommend both dishes, especially if you're a seafood fan. Love this place!

We were sent up to the bar by the hostess. Sat at the bar for 15 minutes while we watched 2 servers work on the floor and four staff stand behind the bar talking.We left. This place used to be great and we loved coming here. Maybe an off day?

Great food and really unique ambiance - especially upstairs with the pirate-themed bar! A really fun place to visit. Also VERY popular, so don't be surprised if you have to wait to get a seat.

First off absolutely delicious. Hands down awesome foods and we nearly tried half of the menu. The staff are great! So accommodating and friendly. Try the fish bowl (Pacific side) you won't be disappointed.

We went to Salty's for lunch as we heard it was a great place for fish and chips. Sadly, it was not that. Although the fish was very crispy and the tarter sauce homemade, the coleslaw and French fries were not. Or if they were, they were done poorly. The fish tacos were lacking in sauce and so stuffed with micro greens that you hardly tasted the fish. But the worst thing about Salty s was it was dirty. The outside tables were made of slat boards and were not cleaned at all-the gaps between boards was almost full of old food. Once I saw that, I couldn t see anything else and was nervous to eat lunch in case any of my food touched the table. If you re going to use tables like that, cover them.
I ll give the restaurant another try because the staff was nice and fish good but Salty s, there are too many good restaurants around to settle for average food on a dirty table

Food and service was fantastic for my wife and I with our 6 month old baby! Close to our hotel and right by the beach. There's an inviting fireplace right at the front door, and the food can't quick and hot! If I lived here, I would be a regular!

A big thank you to the chef's who created the plant based options, it was so refreshing to have a creative plantbased meal. We could tell you actually put thought and effort into coming up with something unique and delicious. We had the vegan tuna nachos and the pineapple broccoli stir fry, everything was so well flavoured from the marinated tomato's to the perfectly seared broccolini. Thank you guys again I'll be recommending this place to everyone I know.

Drinks took for ever to come and came at the end of dinner. Salmon was very undercooked and mash potatoes tasted like instant mashed potatoes. I've been here before and it's usually pretty good but was not impressed with the experience this time.

This place was really nice. As busy as they get their service and attention to their customers didn't drop. It is a great place to eat if you're visiting Penticton but probably a tad bit better if you're a local. The flow is better if you're a returning customer. But never the less, Great food and great patio upstairs and main level, but the price is a tad high for my liking. But I do understand what they provide and in what location so it's understandable. So I'm giving them a 4 out of 5.

Atmosphere is great, waterfront location hard to beat. Service is also above average. Sadly the menu is tired (no real changes in decades) and food is just at par. We enjoyed the room and the view. Food was disappointing.

After a great day tanning on the beach, Salty's was a short stroll to a pirate paradise.
As we pulled up to the "docks" we were greeted by the friendly wait staff in a very crisp new ground floor entrance with a covered patio. The ground floor had been redone 6 months ago and from what we saw it looked to keep with the sea faring theme.
We, however were granted access to the top floor patio overlooking the beach. The decor upstairs was a much darker theme and really played with the pirate concept. A pirate statue stands guard at the top of the stairs leading into the bar with a multitude of unique pirate paintings. A display of a skeleton crew mans the helm above the bar.
The service was quick, friendly, and attentive while answering our questions about the food and establishment.
We had the calamari and honey siracha chicken as we were not too hungry. The server adviced us that the main dishes may be large, and the appies were more then enough to fill our needs.
The calamari was great for my tastes, not too chewy with a good helping of (whatever that is) sauce. The chicken was a great combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy. Although I'm not one for very spicy food and mild for me may be barely a blip on your radar.
The drink menu was nice and diverse. Wednesdays were wine days although I just had a couple of domestic beers (along with provided chilled glass) while my significant other tried the "boat drink" which had white rum, malibu rum, pineapple and orange juice garnished with a pineapple. Thick and delish was the report I recieved on that particular drink.
All in all I highly recommend it. The prices for the main courses were a tad high, but comparable to many higher quality establishments. The service, food, and atmosphere more then made up for my concerns regarding the price.

Very tasty food, very good attentive and genuine service staff. Menu has a very good selection, the Bahama breeze is sure bet but their serloin steak and honey bourbon salmon are also great choices. They also have a nice selection of wines from the region.

Late lunch appies were decent. The civiche was really good and so were the sliders but those stuffed peppers def needed more cheese... Otherwise good service and food especially on a busy Easter weekend

The seaside benny is fantastic! Our server was awesome, he was quick, friendly and very pleasant. It was a very busy day and we waited for an hour for our food. It was cold when we received it. Our server noticed and replaced 2 of the 3 plates. He definitely made up for the slow food.

Little bit slow service, food was ok, nothing special. My issue was it was very dirty, dust everywhere, my wife noticed a huge spider web above our table. Bathrooms were dirty, no toilet paper holder, so you had to touch a dirty paper roll.Server wiped part of a large table and then didn't bother wiping the rest. Being that its Covid right now you would think the restaurant should be much cleaner. I personally am not worried about covid, but dirty places like this should be.

Scallop Remoulade that was why I went to this place, in fact the only order I ever placed for 19 years. This is the place I brought every visiting family and friend to. Sadly my last visit changed that! I received my Scallop Remoulade with pitas on the side and the pitas were all doughy. I shared my complaint to our server and she said an exaggerated 'ohhh sorry' then walked away. I never saw her again until she brought our bill, while I had her attention I pointed out my uneaten 'doughy' pitas. I said perhaps you can share with the chef he might consider checking his food before he sends it out to the paying customer'. She said 'yeah sorry about that' then handed me the debit machine. Wow! In that moment I realized it was an establishment and they didn't care about the person nor their experience. I paid my bill, I tipped, then politely left as I answer to my integrity, and because We Care about the experience...WE will never come back, nor will we be bringing our visiting family and friends. We will bring those we care about to a place that cares about us and our experience.

This place was so busy for good reason. The staff was very helpful with getting us a table quick, and they were very friendly. The food came out hot and delicious. My favourite spot in penticton for sure.

Dine in space is limited due to provincial health protocols for Covid 19. Most tables are four tops so be prepared to wait if your party is at the 6 per table limit. The food is good and the menu is varied. We enjoyed the Crab cakes, Fisherman's pot, and the Fish & Chips. Generous portions.

Never disappointed at Saltys! Great service and menu. Wine list is good, pretty diverse which is to be expected in the Okanagan. Happy hour oysters are great - both Atlantic and Pacific for anyone who knows the difference.

Amazing patio seats. Best beach side view. Great local beer and wine selection. Appies can be shared or enjoyed alone. I really like all their appitizers! Amazing staff. Accomodate to your needs and so friendly and genuine. I love this restaurant and will absolutly go back every year. We visit summerland every year for vacation and this is a must stop to eat when we longboard the beach and town. They didnt have any issues with us bringing the longboards in with us either.

Doesn't quite have that magic of the "old" salty's where every meal had a story behind it and the same staff were there year in year out. Location is superb. Make reservations well in advance or prepare to be disappointed as the walk up factor is huge. The Cayman island chowder is amazing as always. Can get cramped during summer months. All things consideted this is still a location those staying in Penticton should visit!
