   As usual, the food and the service were excellent. Black Salt has remained consistently top-notch through all the Covid disruptions.

   Black Salt is in need of a refresh. The interior and furnishings are bit tired and showing their age.

   Early New Year's Eve with another couple. A perfectly delightful evening with excellent service and seafood. We'd requested a relatively quiet table and were nicely accommodated with one near the windows into the kitchen. The management was particularly attentive, stopping by the table on multiple occasions to make sure everything was satisfactory.

   BlackSalt was a recommendation to us, and I’m so glad that we were able to eat there on our trip to DC. I have food allergies, and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back here the next time we’re in town.

    We had a lovely Christmas office dinner at Black Salt last night. Delicious food (especially the octopus & halibut special), and a nice wine list (and good cocktails)! Our server was very patient with us and it was a very lovely, relaxed, satisfying dinner.

    Celebrating my mothers 87th Birthday and we had an incredible meal. She had celebrated another birthday there many before Covid and she loves Sea Food so we decided to return for lunch with less of a crowd. Only disappointment was that they did not remember to wish her a Happy Birthday. Maybe post covid it's only done for dinner but I had requested their best table and told them it was her birthday since we have gone on multiple family birthday's and had menu's with the name and even a complimentary dessert. We ordered a couple on our own for the four of us to share so it was not that we did not enjoy our choices. Will still return because the food and service was amazing but with such a big mile stone I think a Happy Birthday wish is not much to ask.

    This was a first-time visit for me and a friend for lunch. The food was excellent -- I had the autumn vegetable salad and asked them to add a few shrimp, which they readily did. The staff had noticed my friend giving me a birthday present and then surprised us with the delivery of a small chocolate mouse cake at the end. Very nice!!!

    Most delicious soup! Great wine and inventive cocktail. We had the nicest server who accommodated us by offering an extra oyster to share and half drinks later. It was expensive like every lunch I have had lately.

    In a very relaxed atmosphere, we enjoyed seafood that was optimally prepared by a chef who knows the characteristics of seafood. As other diners have noted, the crab cakes, which tend to be overdone, were very delicately seasoned and paired wonderfully with the sauces. The American Red Snapper was also very satisfying, with crispy skin and fluffy flesh.

    Service and food were good, but pricey. The lobster was a tad tough, but the gnocchi was delish. I never got butter for my bread, but if that's the worst, that's not so bad. Nice for a special occasion.

    The food and service are very good but the prices are way too high for a neighborhood restaurant. We eat at a Michelin star restaurant in DC for less. 50 - 60 plus dollar entrees with 30 dollar appetizers seem very high. We love Blacks but not at these prices. Love the bar and will continue to go for drinks unless the pricing gets under control and back to what it was.

    Excellent service - happy, friendly, and knowledgeable staff made for a very pleasant first experience! Personalized menus for our wedding anniversary was a very pleasant surprise! Lovely textures and seasonal flavors in all dishes from oysters to key lime pie! The large service platter for our small serving of 6 oysters seemed inappropriate. The aroma of fish in the front market could be less. We dined in the wine room which was more quiet and less fishy. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Overall it was a lovely dining experience and we will return!
