• Seafood • Arlington
Booked 98 times today
The Salt Line, the popular DC homage to New England’s iconic fish and oyster houses, brings a second location to Arlington’s burgeoning Ballston neighborhood. Just one year in, The Salt Line has already established itself as one of the top dining spots in Northern Virginia. Executive Chef Matt Singer is leading the kitchen team in partnership with award winning Long Shot Hospitality Chef/Partner Kyle Bailey. The Salt Line is where "New England meets the Chesapeake" so guests can expect the same New England classics and renowned raw bar found at the original location, along with lots of new chef driven fish and seafood entrees, house-made pastas, exciting selections of crudos, and of course the best lobster rolls around. In addition to dining, the welcoming year round outdoor bar (tented in the winter) has also become a favorite neighborhood gathering spot and is the perfect place to enjoy The Salt Line's signature beverage program and grab what many say is the best burger in town.

    If you want a lobster roll w/fries for the ridiculous price of $40! this is the place for you. Enjoy your $40 lobster roll with the understanding that the economy remains stable if people are dumb enough to pay it. Generally, the food is good, but this lobster roll didn’t even fill the roll up. As a New. England native, I found the lobster roll price offensive to the point that it overshadowed other decent and better priced menu items. No other restaurants that I could find, including in DC, price their lobster rolls at $40. If they cant find a way to source and prepare a decent lobster roll for a more reasonable price they should just take it off the menu because it’s bad public relations at $40.
