This was our first time here and we will definitely return. Food was delicious and our waiter, Will was fantastic. We especially recommend the oysters Rockefeller, the calamari, the clam chowder and seafood stew. Desserts were wonderful as well. By that time, we were so full that we needed to bring half our desserts home.

What a fabulous atmosphere and delightful staff! They truly understand hospitality. The food was very good, but I’d come back here even more so for the staff. We could tell they have lots of regulars because they greeted so many people by name. We’ll be back on our next trip to DC-thank you for making us feel so special:)

Had a warm experience at Black Salt. I visited during RW, which made it more affordable, but the menu was well curated for a varied experience. We had the Rhode Island calamari to start, the Caldo de Mariscos for main and creme brulee/peach cobbler as dessert.

Very accommodating! Initially, we had some trouble navigating the menu because of stomach sensitivities, but the waiters told us to pick a fish from the market and they would make us a custom meal. Not only was it delicious, presentation was beautiful. Above and beyond service.

We visited for a lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday and were warmly greeted with a custom printed ‘happy birthday’ menu, which we thought was a lovely touch.

Solid spot for great fresh seafood with an attention to detail and presentation. Portions are actually relatively large as you can see in my photos. I loved it but gave it 4 stars because I did feel the cost could be a touch less.

I was looking for a lunch spot with fish and chips. This place came up on my search and I’m glad it did.

This restaurant was lovely. Our service was excellent and the food was delicious! The portions are great as well. The kitchen was kind enough to split our entree after we shared a course of oysters and appetizers.

Amazing food with top notch service. We split some oysters, grilled octopus and fried Ipswich clams. I had the seafood stew as my main and it was delicious. Will certainly return if ever back in the area.

Unbelievably disappointing birthday dinner for my mother. Crab cakes that were so salty that we couldn’t eat them, a seasonal peach salad with what felt like leftover burrata, that looked like it had been simply thrown on the plate, and a VERY lackluster broth for the seafood stew with one single shrimp and one scallop, both over-cooked. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this meal was so over-priced and underwhelming that I have to say something. I’m bummed. We’ve been before for lunch and it’s always been fabulous.
