I had the Portugese Clam stew --fantastic. And New England clam chowder with Ipswich fried clams on top. When I bit into the fried clams they burst with clam juice. Now I know what the big deal is about Ipswich clams! more

After reading such glowing reviews I was determined to try Black Salt. The bar was very noisy and I was seated right away in the dining area. Service was very slow initially and the waiter was inattentive throughout my meal. I would give the food mixed reviews. The ingredients were obviously of the very highest quality and very fresh. The... more

Black Salt is great every time. We've sat at the bar and ordered rounds of the small plates to share. Each dish is a perfectly balanced and satisfying creation. Their wine list is impressive. The fish market as fresh and beautiful as can be. I always look forward to going back. Overall I haven't been too impressed with DC dining,... more

My husband and I are both foodies and after reading the rave reviews we decided to eat here. The food was delicious but I thought a bit overpriced for the portion sizes. I would recommend any of the mussel appetizers. The ambience was nice but I thought catered mostly to an older crowd. We were the only people eating there... more

Very good fresh seafood, if that is the only thing you are interested in. But, unfortunately, for its reviews, I expected more from this restaurant. more

Our large group took over the private room at BlackSalt Restaurant and we had a phenomenal meal. The entrance by way of the fish market is just a tiny hint of what's to come. I had pre-selected a 4-course menu for our guests and was assisted by their (*very talented*) Wine Director, Morgan Hawley. I was simply blown away by... more

We are locals, and Black Salt is a God Send for (a) the fish market -- I don't buy fish anwhere else; (b) brunch - awesome; (c) happy hour -- suck down cheap oysters and good scotch -- sometimes that is all that will do; (d) dinner -- a bit of a splurge, but so worth it, always top quality,... more

My husband, son and an old friend ate at Blacksalt last night. It was fabulous! My 11 year old was treated as well as, if not better than, the adults. Tuna tartare appetizer was a wonderful start to a perfect meal. Wine list was not huge but had a great selection of wines. Advise to those visiting in DC...take a... more
