We had the pricey ($94) tasting menu that included five fish courses (cold tuna belly, tilefish, halibut, salmon, and rockfish with pork belly) as well as a lavish dessert that included custard, cheesecake, and molten chocolate. Each fish course was perfectly cooked and had an exciting sauce and interesting accompaniments. The lemony sauce with the halibut was the group’s favorite;... More

I was looking for a good seafood restaurant and Black Salt popped to the top. My friend and I ordered the 5 course chef's tasting menu, and foolishly ordered apps too. I had the clam chowder, which was unique and delicious - lots of leeks with a slightly sweet flavor topped with giant friend clams. I say it was foolish... More

Staying near Foggy Bottom, I ventured out on a Sunday night to Black Salt as a single guest because I was craving soft-shelled crab. They sat me in the "wine room" which was quieter than the front dining area, and the service was perfection. Tried 3 local types of oysters on the half-shell which were crisp, fresh and delicious.

OMGosh, I've been a regular at Addie's and Black Market, sister restaurants of Black Salt. Somehow, we just never got here...SHAME on us. The husband and I have eaten all over the world, and last night might have been a meal in the top 5 of our 30 years of marriage. We were seated in the back room, which -... More

Along with other pricey menu items, patrons can choose from a variety of fish and shell fish options from the market and the the kitchen will cook and serve it at your table. I picked... More

Any time we have visitors we go here. We never have a bad meal. Great bar. Great service. Great food.

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

It’s a little outside of Georgetown and we had a hard time getting a taxi back to downtown, due to the location and rain. But it was well worth it, the food was absolutely delicious, the service excellent and it was the best meal we had during our stay in DC. We even found a very nice affordable California Chardonnay...
