Grandma was watching Daughter over the weekend so we decided to check out a new place that we would not normally go with a full load of kids. Mommy loves seafood so Daddy decided to take her out for some despite not liking it himself.

The restaurant is set up with half the length of the location setup as a pub and the other half with booths elevated and separated by a half wall. The pub area is clean, not too loud and upscale so it isn't any different taking children to Salty's as opposed to any other bar & grill like Applebee's. We went late at around 9PM and the restaurant and bar were busy but not full and there was no waiting to be seated. The entire restaurant   has a maritime theme.

The food at Salty's is a little fancier and therefore a little more pricey. We started with the truffle cheese fries, which were delicious. Mommy ordered Salty's "Famous" fisherman's platter, asking for everything not breaded and fried which they gladly did. Daddy ordered the famous pot roast which was tender and served on a pile of mashed potatoes and large enough for leftovers. Looking at the kids menu they have a good selection of foods from turkey and meatloaf to shrimp and chips. The waitress was friendly but refused to look at the table when Mommy was nursing our little Son.

The food was good for the price. This isn't a location to take the kids if you don't need to but if you are looking for a more upscale dining from your usual, it would be fine to bring them. Nice for a date night but the atmosphere isn't exactly romantic, unless you love boats.
