The Salt Line

"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."

"They have great tasting seafood plus a large variety of it, an amazing view, and nice atmosphere. Which is why it kills me that we left with a sour taste in our mouth at the end due to the surprise 4% surcharge. They are charging it due to “rising labor costs associated with the new DC on minimum wages for tipped workers”, yet many places in DC do not add a surcharge. The surcharge is also counted towards the DC tax calculation and they include it in the added total for you to be aware of what to tip on. The only way to know ahead of time that there will be this added surcharge is from very tiny font at the bottom of the main menu. I highly recommend management get rid of this and simply increase prices if they have to rather than do this surcharge. It’s just very annoying and feels misleading. Other than that, the fried clam bellies and lobster roll were delicious, albeit expensive. The bartender was great and you cannot beat the view there. Would recommend eating outside on the patio if weather permits."

"Updated Review August: 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."
