Several weeks ago I went to Salty's and was very happy with the food and service. Our server was Gabriel and I have never had this good of service in many years. He was attentive but not overbearing and was very helpful in suggesting certain dishes. Later in the month I went back and was served by a different server. The service from this female, cannot remember her name, was awful. I was so dissappointed since Gabriel had made my visit very special. This female server could not explain the dishes and was hard to find when needed. I called to make reservations and requested Gabriel as our server. I was not going to take my chances again, when I knew what Gabriel could provide. I was shocked to find out that they had let Gabriel go. I also had seen a female server still working there whom I had seen arrested on the news for growing and distributing mushrooms . How can this company keep a person who is involved in the illegal world and get rid of an employee as good as Gabriel was. I probably will never go back to this restaurant. Who is making such decisions needs to be looked at.

I believe GORDON RAMSEY would rip these guys a new one...very average food and prices that would raise the eyebrows of bill gates...sturgeon wellington was overcooked...no hint of garlic in the garlic mashed potato...my wifes meal was marred by a bed of rice that could have easily resulted in a broken filling had she continued to try to chew it...I was pelted with better rice at my wedding...our free dessert was very good and well worth the price...unless you're trying to impress someone who knows nothing about fine dining, avoid salty's.
