Friend and I went for lunch during the week. It was very very quiet. Maybe just another table or two. Lots of booth sitting so that made the space even more comfortable, quiet, cozy. We had great friendly and efficient service. Fish tacos were delicious, but awkward to eat. The scallop appetizer with some crispy greens and Brussel sprouts was fabulous. Good thing we went for lunch, because we noticed that all the listed entrees are over $40! wow.

The only complaint, and it is very minor, is that they have a much smaller wine list than most high-end restaurants to which we have been. The manager/sommelier was very accommodating and helped us try a french wine that was good but not great for the price point. The service was outstanding though, and the food was also excellent.

It was my first time dining here. I have heard a lot about the place and had a friend who worked in the kitchen tell me to give them a chance. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere. It was National Caviar Day and I had caviar. The management was friendly. My waiter was knowledgeable too. I will definitely visit again soon.

This was without the worse dining experience I’ve had ANYWHERE in the world. The Cole slaw was so salty and overwhelmed by creole mustard it was inedible. The crab cakes at 31$ each came barely warm on a dry, cold bun. The crab cakes was paltry in size and was not made with lump crab and extremely bland. Service was ok but rather inattentive. In years past this was a delightful restaurant. Now it is an extremely overpriced mess with local neighborhood diners who clearly have more money than taste. If you don’t know good quality seafood and don’t mind wasting money on inedible food this is your place to dine.

Came in to celebrate our anniversary. Service was great (they even had custom menu’s for us saying “Happy Anniversary”). We really enjoyed house bread and the appetizers, butter poached lobster and the best clam chowder I have ever tasted. My wife also really liked her halibut. I was not as impressed with the Japanese stew, of which some bites were quite good and others were so full of the shredded ginger to be almost inedible. Desserts were also very good. Service was great and as good or better than you’d expect from a place at this price point.

Good overall but not outstanding. Very fresh tuna was overpowered by peanut sauce and mushy noodles. Halibut was also very fresh and flaky but accompanying bed of vegetables and morels were mushy and bland. Mexican chile corn chowder as a starter was the one standout. Key lime pie was mediocre. I have had much better meals at Black Salt in the past and would go back based on those meals. Maybe this was an off night.

An Oldie but STILL quite Amazing -- BlackSalt remains my favorite place for the freshness oysters (best varietals) in the city. Prior to the pandemic, Sea Catch (permanently closed) and BlackSalt would revival for 1st place in my book. Now, BlackSalt remains lightyears ahead of the competition with top tier fine-dining service (including all the bells and whistle from the hostess, servers, runners, sommelier and management), and maintains consistent high food quality standards. My mum and I dined at BlackSalt prior to BlackGirlsRock at the Kennedy Center. Firstly, we ordered the Seafood Tower with additional oysters and a bottle of Sav Blanc. Our excited taste buds allowed us to consume the majority of the delicious components within 10mins; very impressive and unexpected according to our server (LOL). Next, we shared a rib-eye with additional sides and also, the octopus. While the steak was cooked perfectly (med rare), we were full and wanted to be comfortable enough to enjoy the concert so we boxed the steak and had (2) spicy margaritas for dessert. YUM! Thanks again, BlackSalt. Keep up the great work!
