    Food and cocktails were amazing. One of the best meals we have had in awhile and probably the best gnocchi we have ever had. The burrata was also wonderful. My husband got the waygu burger and I had crab cakes. Both were spectacular.

    They we're out of a few menu items including a beer we wanted on tap. The service was nothing to write home about. The wine pours were good and the truffle fries were pretty good. Other than that, can't think of any other reason for returning.

    SaltResponded on August 1, 2023

    Hello, Thank you for visiting and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the wine and truffle fries! We would love to hear more details about where our service missed the mark so that we can improve customer experience and hopefully have you reconsider visiting again. Thanks again for visiting Salt.

    I loved Salt! My friends and I hit this restaurant for apps and drinks before heading to another. Even though I ordered tequila soda, it was still quite refreshing. We got the calamari and the crispy miso pork belly. Nice portion and good flavor. Would go again!

    The drinks were delish. The Wagyu topped hummus was amazing and worth the visit. The truffle fries were a little too greasy though. However great service. One thing that is not a plus is it is hard to find. It says on the website it’s in Rosslyn city center and it is not. The ladies who answered the phone weren’t really helpful with which direction I should go. Overall I was impressed.

    Staff was polite and easy to work with, very accommodating and considerate. The ambiance was amazing, with the execption of the backroom being cooler, but that was to be expected since it was humid outside, the AC didn't disappoint. Music in the background was a perfect mix of artists and volume level, so you could enjoy a conversation or vibe. Only showed a few items in the pics, but everything was delicious. You have to try for yourself. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.

    Had a wonderful experience at Salt. If you end up getting lost like we did, ask the host at Open Roads and they will guide you. It’s definitely more of a “speak easy” than your traditional restaurant but, it’s a good vibe and worth the price. The food and drinks was amazing. The service was great. Real chill, real quick. A good first date spot outside of DC, if you don’t want to go into the heart of DC and deal with traffic. All in all 10/10.

    I found this this restaurant while browsing online for things to do in Arlington. It's promoted to be larger than life with high expectations of a great dining experience. It is smaller than expected, think Speak Easy vibe. The ambiance is darker than expected. The food is unique and amazing. The cocktails are delicious and light. Will definitely go again. They have a Date Night menu for sharing but we ate appetizers.

    Food was great but it was almost impossible to find. We walked by it three times and had to get directions from a different restaurant. Then when we did find the outer door, a second door belended into the wall so well we ended up going to the restaurant upstairs who then directed us to the door. Two different restaurants had to give us directions to find your place.
