Food is always outstanding. And the checks are always large. But it’s a great value because the tables are very widely spaced and it feels very safe and comfortable.

This was our first indoor dining experience post-COVID. We came for their last reservation spot to avoid people. I thought that BlackSalt went well above COVID regulations. The tables were very well spaced and the waiters limit the time at your table as much as possible. The food here is also fantastic.

Very very pricey for not so great food. Very disappointed

We are regulars at Blacksalt and we always love dining in there, this time was no exception, regardless the difficult times due to covid, quality of food and service remains as excellent as always.

Excellent food and wine.

Food was great, service seemed a little rushed since we were one of the later seatings overall great experience.

If you are looking for a restaurant with A+service, food, drinks and ambiance, Black Salt is the place to go. My wife and I ate there to celebrate our anniversary.
Catherine ( server) was very knowledgeable of the dishes and gave great recommendations. She was very attentive. I would recommend Black Salt to anyone looking for a great meal with excellent service.

Great food...fresh and tasteful. The drinks were excellent. The service was a tad slow since one person seemed to be providing service to the whole restaurant. There was an issue with one entree but management corrected it ASAP. Overall highly recommend!

Perfect lunch. They followed all Covid rules diligently.

Wines by the glass are very good. Lots to choose from on the menu. Original flavors. Both the Halibut and Branzino were very good. Big plates. You do not go hungry :-)

Extremely overpriced, but otherwise a good all around experience

As always a very relaxing and enjoyable time. I couldn't get by without Blacksalt, especially now.

So fantastic, Wendy took care of us for my girlfriends birthday. Completely gave the menu to her to help us and wow, so amazing. Great time, great staff, such a wonderful experience. Thank you BlackSalt!

BlackSalt never disappoints, still a solid restaurant. The oysters were amazingly fresh, the himachi delicious, however the octopus was described as grilled and appeared to be poached maybe? Still good, just not as expected.

Dining room comfortably accommodates groups and couples. Limited vegetarian options.

Great except for one guest very loud

Only grabbed a few bites but we were greeted by ALL members of the team from Management to the front store workers! HUGE DEAL! Very warm and welcoming! Wendy was our server she was very kind and informative. We will be back to try the 55.00 PF Menu soon!

The food was so good! Love the service. Thank you for a great date spot.

Excellent service. Excellent food!

Great service provided by both Kate & Eric

The food was great! Our waiter was nice and very attentive. I would definitely go back again

My friend and I came to Black Salt for DC Restaurant Week. I enjoyed the food and the wine. I will definitely come back!

We went to Black Salt for Restaurant Week (lunch), and had a marvelous time. The food was excellent along with the service, and all COVID-19 safety measures were implemented. Fabulous!

Great food as always, great and friendly service too. Given the current pandemic situation, the restaurant and servers did a fantastic job making us feel safe & welcome in a surreal situation.

Restaurant week has a great selection of offerings, but the chef and kitchen always rock.

Our 'go to' for seafood in DC. Great staff and food. Always willing to accommodate special requests and you can't go wrong with a James Beard recognized pastry chef. She created the best birthday cake for my 70th. Seafood is top quality and always fresh or they won't serve it. Highly recommend this restaurant. Michelin quality without the hype.

The CoVID procedures at this restaurant was outstanding. The staff all had masks and gloves. The tables were spaced out. The service was absolutely amazing. We went for lunch and we had for our appetizers, the lobster dish and the octopus. They were both excellent. Our main dishes were just okay - we had the Halibut and the Snapper. The snapper was a bit dry and unseasoned and the Halibut was a bit rubbery (with the crust) and dry. The forbidden rice served with the Halibut was outstanding. Dessert was a so-so chocolate cake served too cold to enjoy so we passed on the calories. We would definitely continue to support this restaurant as we have had amazing meals in the past and these are weird times for restaurants.

We have eaten at all of the Black’s establishments and wanted to try BlackSalt for a special occasion. The menu appears to be scaled back from what had been previously on line, but that is understandable during the Pandemic. He staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. I didn’t much care for the seating arrangement but that is again a result of the times we live in now. Having had the mussels at Addies, we were excited to order them here as an appetizer. Unfortunately they were not nearly as good as those served at the other, now defunct restaurant. They came out barley warm. We sent them back and the waiter replaced with no problem and an apology. While the new batch was hot, they were very small, some came with just the shell and nothing else, but the broth was quite good. Our entrees were very good as was dessert. The offered wine selection was very limited and overpriced. I again attribute this to trying to cope in a difficult time. Overall I would say it was a good, not great experience, but certainly better than staying home.

Great restaurant

Always great to be back!! The dishes were outstanding, very creative!

Outstanding restaurant. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the outstanding food and the outstanding service. We will turn to BlackSalt and highly recommend to our friends.

I had dozen oyster, it was the worst oyster I have ever had. It wasn’t shucked (?) right, I chewed some rock(?) shell debris (?). It also smelled a little bit too, my husband couldn’t eat them at all. I heard that they had best oyster so we went, but so disappointed.

Excellent- so glad you’re back. 😊

My wife and I had a lovely lunch at Black Salt. All of the food that we had was outstanding but the wood grilled Branzino really stood out, perfectly cooked with Mediterranean accompaniments. Our service was attentive without being overbearing.

Lobster and avocado salad; dessert; service: outstanding
Ipswich clams—a little over-fried
Swordfish: very good but far too small for the price.
Great restaurant—very good food, some room for improvement.

This place was great! Wanted to find the best seafood in DC for my boyfriend's birthday and have every confidence we found it. Service was fantastic and we felt very cared for. Will definitely be returning for our next special occasion.

Every time I go to Black Salt, it gets better and better! Truly a hidden gem in the city. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood.

So good to be back

Our dinner evening marked the first time we had been out since March, and while we're pretty proficient in the kitchen our visit reminded us of the sheer pleasure and magic when a superb chef and a welcoming and professional staff combine to create a piece of art. We are so grateful, and hope that others will go soon; this is a treasure that should not be allowed to go under in the troubling times we all live in now--or ever, for that matter. Thank you for a terrific evening.
