A true gem in Navy Yard. Delicious fresh seafood right on the water. And when the weather is nice, this is the perfect place to sit outside for a drink or to watch the game. In the summer they have some great frozen options. And since it’s so close to nats stadium, this is definitely the place to be on game day. One of my favorite things to order is the lobster roll. Amazing and buttery with tons of meat.but honestly everything on the menu is solid.

If I could give it a 10 I would! First off let’s just take in the prime location, the views and ambiance. The drinks and the food were outstanding. The wait staff was on top of their game making sure we were satisfied. The manager Carlos was presently vigilant and came around to introduce himself to everyone make sure things were running smooth. This is what true customer service and satisfaction is about.

This entire experience was AMAZING. The location was prefect esp. being able to walk to and from. We were greeted with a smile and asked where we preferred to sit (inside or out). Sitting inside was beautiful and service was impeccable. The oysters were delicious as a starter. The Warm Mushroom & Burrata Toast was okay. It was more cold than warm but the mushrooms were so tender and delicious. I ordered Crispy Duck Confit and OMG!!!! It was wonder. I ate everything. The duck skin was so crispy and rich. The meat was tender and melt like butter in mouth. Again the mushrooms, charred kale and sweet potato gnocchi reminded me of Thanksgiving dinner. The combination of everything left me speechless. Dessert was phenomenal. This was me and my cousin first time having a banana split and we WERE ELATED!!!!! The toasting of the banana was great. Drinks were delicious. We were able to talk to the chef and dessert was on the house.
This was a great first time experience. I will definitely be returning to Salt Line DC.

Excellent oysters and seafood. Oysters were half off for happy hour when we went so I got a dozen. Clam chowder was excellent. Pricey spot, but good.

Have been to the Salt Line many times and it never disappoints. Family agrees after a lot of trial and error that we prefer not ordering from the Entree section and stick to the Raw Bar, Classics and Sandwiches. Tonight was no different - Excellent Oysters, Killer smash burger, and to-die-for Lobster Rolls. I would give them 5-Stars but I had the Waterman’s Platter and it came with ZERO scallops. It was the end of day on Mother’s Day and Nats were in town so perhaps they had run out…but nobody said so. What I did get was excellent and perfectly prepared. Service from Kenny was stellar!

Lovely spot on the water. Good service especially considering how busy they were. I highly recommend the shishitos. Best I've had.

Great service, an amazing birthday lunch, and a specials shout out to Rebecca!
Thank you.
My original review from June: I’m usually an all or nothing person, but I feel this place could have been a five if I visited when they had more staff and were less busy.
Their oysters are amazing!!! And their oyster shots are exceptional.
The main entrees were well plated and tasty, but smaller than I expected them to be. (If mine didn’t arrive to me cold, I would’ve been happier.)
Our server was not attentive and by the time we flagged her down to ask about the appetizers we ordered, she asked us if we wanted to just take them off our order ….”since it had been so long”. Of course we still wanted them! We were sitting at the table with no food.
Overall, I have decided I will give this place another chance during a less busy time and see how it goes.

The Salt Line is fantastic! Atmosphere is wonderful and the only downside is that the menu has too many great options on it. Opted for an oyster selection to share, the Portuguese stew, and the Rockfish. All were amazing, but the Portuguese stew is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Very pricey dinner, the drinks set us over the top, but I guess you are paying for the location. Regardless, I will definitely be back!!

Amazing seafood with equally great views!
Outside or inside, things are well organized very clean. The ambience is what you would expect for a seafood restaurant. Everything our group had was perfectly prepared and extremely satisfying. Even though we had special requests and instructions, everything was followed perfectly. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Their selection of adult beverages was outstanding and everything was made perfectly. Their menu did over some non-seafood options although it was very heavily weighted towards their fresh seafood selection. Everyone can find something to make them happy here. I look forward to going back soon.
