Black Salt Fish Market & Bar   

Black Salt was a great restaurant to go to celebrate a special occasion. Servers were very attentive, knowledgable, and frequently gave recommendations in regards to the food and wine. We ordered mussells for an appetizer and they were fantastic. I wish I could have ordered them as a main meal because they were far superior to my fish entree (which was decent, but not outstanding). Make sure to save room for dessert, because they all looked amazing!

Been to blacksalt four times now and have been nothing but impressed with each visit. The menu is fresh, bold and ambitious with around 6-8 new specials each time we went. Most regular menu items have also changed throughout our visits. The wine list is packed with selections from off the beaten path, small acreage wineries. The restaurant always seems full and fast-paced. My family's most recent visit was on a sleepy late August Wednesday evening, and we were amazed to see almost every table full around 6:30. If you are looking for a dark and quiet restaurant, i would not choose blacksalt. Our first time at the restaurant a suited host walked my wife across the front of the kitchen to a restroom in a back hallway. Its fun to be able to see and hear the chefs preparing our food. The staff is friendly and accommodating for our seven year old, during our last visit they even adapted a gnocci appetizer for him. Any food or wine questions we asked were thoroughly answered by our spirited college aged waiter. My seafood timid wife ended up with food she wouldn't normally order, but quickly loved. We ordered some appetizers and mussels to share that were brought out separately and thoughtfully divided in half. The grilled and stuffed bronzino entree is a must-have. I highly recommend blacksalt to anyone looking for an adventurous seafood meal. They cook fish perfectly, and the atmosphere (opened kitchen) is entertaining.

This was a cute place to visit and the fis was fabulous, which is hard to find in Washington. It really out of the way. It was very crowded and lively feeling. We thought the service was awful, we asked for lemon for our water 3 times. We asked for oil and balsamic 3 times. The dessert choicces were limited. I was sent here from newnewyorker.com and they were pretty on target about the place. I did ask for something with very fresh fish and out of the way. I got it, jut not the lemons..
