Food, Service, and Ambiance were stellar! Seafood and wine selections were exceptional. Desserts were very good.

"Food is excellent, portion sizes are somewhat large, and the taste is delectable" was the review our 9-year old gave after sharing mussels and the bouillabaisse with his grandmother. The service was impeccable, and we really enjoyed the op
Pricey but worth it for a special occasion.
Street parking can be difficult. Dined here recently with friends & really enjoyed the soft shell crabs. Excellent service. Ask for a quiet table in the back. There's a fish market as you enter the restaurant. I thought it smelled a bit fish

My husband and I visited this place for the first time and had a wonderful dinner. The waiter was very helpful and friendly, and the food was impressive. I ordered tuna, while my husband had salmon. The poke was also tasty, and we enjoyed all the foo
Another wonderful visit to BlackSalt.
The chowder and crab cake sandwich were excellent. HOWEVER, on a whim I also picked up some potato salad to go from their grab and go section. I'm not usually a potato salad person but when I say I devoured this container, it was that outrageous

Fabulous dinner here! Everything was wonderful from the service to the food to the wine. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!
Delicious seafood - some of the best in town
Their oysters are divine and their seafood entrees are delicious and their pan-roasted halibut is divine. Also, highly recommend Addie's Mussels. And big shout out to our server Eric. The prices are a bit high but worth it.
Don't like being ripped off
A great spot and one of our perennial favorites, but the fee for using a credit card is ridiculous and insulting. Prices more than factor in any credit card costs. We have not been there since. It's not the money, it's the feeling of bei

Have always loved Blacksalt for special occasions.
I recently discovered their happy hour menu!! Amazing food and service at a great price point! Oysters, sandwiches, cocktails.
DC Crab Cake Go-To
The food here is tremendous. We loved the oysters, fried clams, branzino, and the crab cakes should not be missed. We recommend sitting at the bar. Kat and Eric truly elevated our dining experience with the perfect martini followed by excellent wine

Great seafood market very fresh and delicious and I highly recommend. Located in palisades
BlackSalt is well worth a visit.
The restaurant has a beautiful space to share a meal and has a little market up front with a selection of things like pasta and drinks. The fish all tasted really fresh and dishes were really good. Our server was very sweet and attentive. The bread

A pleasant way to spend an evening
We ended up in the Palisades after taking a long walk along the canal and then decided to try the BlackSalt Fish Market and Restaurant. I enjoyed the displays of fresh shellfish and fish at the entrance and the fresco-style art on the wall near our
Excellent and faultless !
Brilliant evening with faultless food, drinks and service from start to finish. Cracking atmosphere and a wonderful place which we shall be returning to !
Sunday happy hour
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 ho
I think the food and service were great.
The restaurant atmosphere and decor were not. For the prices they charged I would expected something nicer. Interior is in serious need of some updates..
i'm leaving only 1 star simply because of the service.
it was ridiculously slow and negligent. i came here with my family last night. the ambiance of this place is nice and upscale. we ordered the seafood tower, and it was delicious... well when it eventually did come, which took like an hour to. they we

I usually come for the life-changing clam chowder, but tonight, I stayed for the new pastry chef's morello cherry mousse. OMG. Have it. As consistently delicious as the main courses always are, this dessert was a standout. Huzzah!

Great food, awesome service from our service Erick! We are looking forward to returning. Thank you !!!
A reliably excellent seafood restaurant
We can always count on BlackSalt for an excellent meal. They have a wide variety of fish courses, including grilled fresh sardines (my favorite) and spectacular scallops. It's so hard to choose among their mouthwatering offerings that I often have tw
Fabulous meal last night with friends.
Not rushed, not too loud, amazing Ahi tuna, wonderful service. Already looking forward to returning! Next time we will tackle a seafood tower!
Some of the BEST fish tacos I've EVER eaten! The calamari

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 an
Still good food but overpriced
The food is still really good but the place has massively increased its prices to a level that is not justified by ambience (crowded, loud, sticky tables without tablecloth) and service (understaffed, manager didn’t know the difference between Sauv

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. Food was so good! We had a reservation for 5:00 and were able to order food from the regular menu as well as from the happy hour menu (till 6:00). Will was our waiter and he was great. We e
4% charge for paying with card.
Good food, good service, but 4% added to bill for paying with card (credit or debit). Discourage this! Eat somewhere else.
Superb seafood place
Always dependable fresh fish. Lunch has similar menu to dinner so choice is quite extensive Service is efficient as well as courteous Recommend booking a table in advance

Amazing seafood experience
I really like the seafood market and restaurant concept. I enjoyed seeing the fresh seafood in the market when you come into the restaurant. The service here is impeccable, it's friendly but not overbearing for a fine dining experience. I have friend
This is a fabulous restaurant in a quite DC neighborhood.
Not sure if the happy hour has opened again "post Covid" but that was always fun!! The (non happy hour) dinners are best for special occasions.
Wow! BlackSalt! Been here forever, it proved tonight
Wow! BlackSalt! Been here forever, it proved tonight just exactly why it has remained a Washington DC favorite for such a long time. This place has it all - great food, great atmosphere, great service all rolled into a comfortable place to be.We h

Absolutely awesome! My husband and I went there for our anniversary and they went out of their way to help celebrate us (complementary champagne and dessert). Price $$ matches food and service. You get what you pay for. We will be going back again .

I came here for a business dinner and the location was in a great spot in DC with plenty of street parking. Upon entry, they have a small, modest market for to-go items and seafood specials that guests can opt-in for. Passing the market, you have the
Good food abysmal service
I have been dining at Black Salt since they opened. Good times and bad. Food and service declined markedly in 2010-2015. Great improvement 2018-2021. The last several visits in 2022 have been unfortunate. The food is ok, not quite up to the pricing,
Food Service Ambience.
Best small gem in DC. They also have an amazing fresh seafood market located in the restaurant
Believe the high ratings!
Definitely lived up to the reviews! In fact exceeded my expectations. Started with a dozen of their oysters. Mixed and matched west coast and east coast. Server was highly knowledgeable on both the wine and food choices. Highly recommend the grilled

Amazing
Highest quality food and service. Top notch seafood. Best in the city. Oysters are a must and ask your Server for the fresh catch suggestion
Spectacular dinner
Excellent sashimi appetizer, better Nova Scotia halibut. The service was very good, friendly, informative and prompt. The restaurant did not have WiFi, and the manager JJ graciously arranged an uber drive. That kind of service is really special.
Connect with users posting reservations for BlackSalt Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with BlackSalt Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to BlackSalt Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the BlackSalt Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at BlackSalt Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at BlackSalt Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
