With close to 200 reviews, I wondered what I could add, but I am providing my opinion anyway. The restaurant is fascinating!. One walks into a fish store. Behind the fish store is a large room with a bar and tables, at the end of this room is a wine storage room and through the wine room is another room... More

If you are looking for fresh fish, deliciously prepared this is THE place. There is a seafood market in the front - fresh, beautiful fish. As you go further back, you enter the bar area which has the most fabulous happy hour - the same wonderful food (but a more limited fare) and drinks at a fraction of the price... More

.. in the same set up! To make it short- really great food accompanied with equally great service. Prices for every taste....When ever I have guest, I bring'em to Black Salt.

Black Salt has been touted as the best seafood restaurant in DC. That tout is 100% correct. We had the 5 course tasting menu and each dish that came out was better than the previous. The service was great and the food was beyond amazing. I was a little disappointed sitting in the back-room as I like to people watch,... More
