I cannot say enough good things about BlackSalt. I made a reservation on behalf of a large party, and Erica was so extremely patient and helpful. I have no doubt my party will enjoy their meal, thanks in large part to Erica's thoughtfulness and hospitality. Thank you!

Back in town!! Best oysters in DC! Love the Chefs preparation for the crab cakes! Signature cocktails and friendly bartenders

always wonderful food and great service. Erika, our server, was so gracious, helpful and friendly. The fish was fresh, the vegetables perfectly prepared, and the ambience perfect. We always love dining at Black Salt.

I went to celebrate a birthday at Blacksalt and they won my heart. Find out why.... So after getting my reservation to Blacksalt, I called to confirm and made a request about my guest's birthday. When I got there and looked at the menu, it had Happy Birthday written on it and that made my guest really happy. The staff were very sweet. Probably one of the best service I have seen in my entire life. Everyone is so courteous and kind. Food was the best. Oysters were fresh and delicious. The rest of the food was amazing as well. They brought a small cup cake with a candle at the end for my guest and that was very cute. Would love to give the entire experience 4.9/5 Definitely one of the best spots for sea food in DC.

This is one of the few restaurants in DC that has a happy hour from 4-6 pm even on a Sunday. Menu's not extensive and prices although lower than the regular menu versions are still about the same as other less expensive restaurants. Food quality however is consistently delicious and presentations is good. We had fish tacos, tuna flatbread, and crab cakes and 2 beers at $6 and $7. About $90 for two people before tip. Only thing that made this a 4 star rating is they charge a fee if you use a credit card - surprising for a restaurant of this calibre to do this as it is a practice not usually seen in the US and even overseas for the last few years.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening here. The food was excellent, the best we've had in recent memory. We followed the recommendations of Ryan, our server, and Will the extraordinarily gracious manager who guided us well and took great care of us through the evening. We even managed to have a nice time with our 10 month old in tow. Somehow the acoustics made it possible for us to hear each other talk without feeling like our baby was disturbing other diners. We look forward to returning soon.

Nothing but good things to say. A bit off the beaten track but worth the trip. We checked out happy hour right before dinner. Oysters rockefeller was excellent! Adies mussels were good. Calamari was a good portion. Drinks were good and not watered down. Staff were extremely nice and inviting. There's a fish market up front and the restaurant in the back. Not too big but intimate. Try sitting in the Cafe to have access to the happy hour and dinner menu. I will be back to try more things!

I went here for my birthday and had a great time!! The service was wonderful! The food was amazing, and it was a very fun, bustling scene! The food was actually too good! I so overate!! I enjoyed everything, starting with the delicious selection of bread. I loved my lobster appetizer and greatly enjoyed the calamari for the table! I should add that they offer both clam chowder and lobster bisque, which both looked great! I then enjoyed a most unusual presentation of crabcakes! I got the butterscotch dessert, and they also brought me a special treat for my birthday! They also printed on all the menus a birthday message for me, which was a nice touch! It was definitely my type of menu! Lots of unique dishes and plenty of lobster! And they did an excellent job with my Long Island iced teas! Always, very important!! :) A wonderful restaurant that I would highly recommend!!

This place is so cute. Bar area was really busy. And they do have dining room that reminds me of Vintage style. Menu was well curated and service was great I got tuna tartare. Was great. And octopus salad. No complains. Crab cake sandwich was delicious. Followed by great desert. Chocolate mouse i believe with ice cream. They had many different oysters and more interesting dishes. I will try to next time. Friendly bartenders. Parking - street. Wasn't too hard to find. On sat late afternoon.
