I've been to the salt line a few times and can say I've never had a bad experience. A few things I love: - Service is always top notch. Regardless of the size of my party (whether it's just me, me and a friend or a party of 10) - Oysters are so delicious! I always opt for the briniest of oysters, but I've never been disappointed. They're pricey-ish but so good! - outdoor seating area is always a vibe. I enjoy being outside so LOVE that they offer a variety of different seating options (sofas, high tops, bars) etc - they allow pets on the patio! My pup and I had a wonderful Saturday brunch here where the staff welcomed him, allowed me to order a pup friendly kids meal for him (hamburger no bun with apples on the side) and made sure his water bowl was topped off - the brunch menu was also tasty (drawing a blank on everything I've tried but can say confidently that everything was delicious. While the weather is still nice, I'll for sure be back to hang out, get a glass of Prosecco and enjoy some oysters while the weather still lets me do it!

Came here for date night on a cool Sunday evening. Ambiance is great! Who doesn't love a water front restaurant in our Nations Capital. I've never ventured this area of Navy Yard in the daytime and I've missed out. It's impressive to see how D.C. has changed. I'm astonished every time I'm in Navy Yard. (For D.C. natives this definitely isn't what our old Mirage, Club 55, and the Wet used to look like.) We had actually come to check off a bookmark for the "beach" they just opened but it wasn't really the vibe we were looking for so we came to The Salt Line. The Salt Line has a few other sister restaurants that I've had bookmarked so it was great to be here impromptu. Let's get into it! Food: Baked Pimento Crab Dip - Winner! Met expectations! Spicy Fried Shrimp Roll - Winner! Loved this! Waterman's Platter - contained fried fish, oysters, shrimp, & scallops with fries, & coleslaw. He loved it and may I add, it was HUGE. He got the old fashion and I got the Orange Crush. Service: It was good. The nice waitress suggested a flavor of crush for me, when she got to our table she realized they brought me the wrong one; my big ole lips had already drank a bit of it but she took the drink instead of just leaving it at the table. I'm sure they just tossed it. I believe there is a rule not to waste food or alcohol. (Shrugs) One party foul but not anything to ruin dinner about. Overall nice spot, would return! Definitely recommend. Not expensive at all!

I love seafood. We tried oyster shooters for the first time here, and it's just so good. They did a good job w both the oysters and the shot. I ordered the scallops as an entree. As someone who frequently orders scallops, I was very satisfied with the texture and size of the dish. Service was phenomenal as well! I liked our server :)
