    Oyster Shots
    Malcolm H.

    This was my first time visiting Salt Line and im a little upset about it. I enjoyed everything about this place. I came in with a couple friends while waiting to head over to the Nats game, and we ordered a bunch of apps for all of us to pick at. The only thing I felt like needs to be served with something on the side was the potatoes. The were good but could use little something to elevate them. Whatever the sauce that comes the carrots or the Brussel sprouts both would be the perfect addition for the potatoes. This place is a definite check out if are in the area.

    Rockfish dish was just OK
    James T.

    Not my favorite meal during my week long stay in DC. Their menu is limited and mainly seafood which is normally fine for me, but I did find myself not really settling on a dish until the last server recommendation (who was great by the way) which is not common. I settled on the rockfish dish which was just OK. Definitely an Asian taste to it that wasn't my favorite. The setting is nice as it's right by the Nationals stadium. Probably wouldn't come back tho cause I didn't see anything else on the menu that I would really want.

    Came here to enjoy the warm weather at their outdoor bar. We got the waterman's platter which was great- a surprisingly good amount of shrimp too. The bartenders were all great and brought a good vibe. We didn't try any oysters this time, but they have a variety featured on ice at their indoor bar.

    CRISPY FISH SANDWICH
    Kelci M.

    I loved the fish sandwich. It's made with catfish and the batter is crispy, not beer battered which I prefer. Make sure to ask for tartar sauce!

    CLAM CHOWDER BOWL
    Frank T.

    Dropped in for dinner looking for good clam chowder and onion rings. Got seated right away and server came right away and explained the specials and the oysters. She accommodated my request for a small caesar's salad by removing the shrimp from their menu item. The chowder has no flour which made the chowder thin. There was nice portion of clams and good flavor. It could have had more clam flavor IMHO. I would still recommend it. The salad was really well dressed and tangy. The onion rings were nice and crispy, large portion of onions.

    Service was great. Food was good. Alcohol was a little watered down. Kinda disappointed but the wait staff was attentive.

    Waterman's Platter, $36
    Calder S.

    I've visited the Salt Line a few times over the years. I like the food, nautical decor, and location in Navy Yard next to the river. On my recent visit, I stopped by on a Wednesday at 6 PM. The place was pretty quiet since it was mid-week and there weren't any sports games nearby. We had some wine ($14/glass), stuffies (3 for $13), Waterman's Platter ($36), and Scallops (5 for $36). Everything was very good. The scallops were served with a nice autumnal sauce and brussel sprouts. Waterman's Platter was fried oysters, fish, baby shrimp, and scallops along with fries, onion rings, coleslaw, and dipping sauce. Everything was crispy and nicely fried. The portal was large enough to take about half as leftovers. We were celebrating a special occasion and they brought over two small glasses of sparkling wine (basically half a glass each), which was nice but also a bit tacky to not give a full glass. Like, I would rather you just verbally acknowledge it and do nothing than take a half-measure like that. We had a nice time but a few things could have been better. They were out of the beer I ordered, so I went with wine. The free sparkling was originally on our bill (and billed as a single glass) but the server realized this just before I asked about it and removed it. I was excited to get a milkshake for dessert -- they used to do massive, delicious milkshakes -- but apparently they stopped doing this about a year ago, so we passed on dessert entirely. They still have a 4% surcharge; c'mon, it's far past time to drop these. Prices overall are a bit high for fairly standard food.

    The Perfect Storm
    Valerie M.

    The Salt Line is absolutely worth a visit if you're looking for great seafood and a beautiful spot on the Anacostia River. The view alone makes it special, and the staff were friendly and attentive the whole time. I had the shrimp and grits, oysters (lots of them), an oyster shooter, and a couple of their cocktails. The shrimp and grits were rich and perfectly cooked, and the oysters were fresh and briny. The oyster shooter was surprisingly delicious. The only disappointment was the Bloody Mary -- it looked amazing but tasted pretty average for the price. Still, the "Perfect Storm" version was strong and fun, even if the mix was the same. The food was good, especially the oysters, but oysters are kind of always good. The view was gorgeous, and like most spots on the DC waterfront, it's definitely on the pricey side.

    The food was pretty good but the service on a slow Thursday was incredibly subpar and I would not go back. The crab dip app was the star of the show and I really enjoyed it, but the burger was just okay in my opinion. There's a lot of good burgers in DC but the reviews swayed me to try it. Our waitress was inattentive, short, and picked up our trays when we were finishing up our fries, assuming we were done when we were just chatting and finishing up final bites. A quick "are you still working?" would've avoided this. There's plenty of options around so I won't be back personally.

    Everything was good! Good not great. Good service - able to get in without a reservation. There was an event going on. Wish they had crab legs! They only had claws. Glad I checked it out but probably wouldn't go back. I think I can sum it up with the lobster roll - really tasty, but small - it was like meal of French fries with a side of lobster roll...a lot of good with a little great.

    Stopped by Salt Line's outdoor bar for a quick drink after a networking happy hour. The patio was bustling, a clear sign of how popular the spot is--helped, of course, by the perfect weather that evening. A few people in our group ordered oysters, which looked fresh and delicious (if you're into oysters). I opted for a Rosé Spritz--light, crisp, and refreshingly perfect for a summer night.

    Beautiful chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc
    Kera W.

    I recently visited The Salt Line in DC after spotting it on Yelp with decent ratings, and it did not disappoint! It's about a 10-minute walk from where I was, and on such a gorgeous day, I immediately liked the outdoor patio. / bar. As soon as I walked in, the customer service was fantastic. and I decided to settle into a cozy booth and ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc along with the lobster roll and a side of greens. I was torn between the buttered lobster roll and one mixed with dressing, but the server was helpful and offered to bring the dressing on the side for me to try. I went with the buttered lobster roll. When my food arrived, it looked perfect, but I did notice that the lobster was a bit over-salted that day. Something about it--either the lobster or the butter--was saltier than I'd hoped. However, the lobster itself was still really tasty, and I'm willing to chalk up the saltiness to just an off day. I plan to return and give it another shot, this time trying the lobster roll dressed and swapping the greens for a side of fries. Life is too short not to indulge, right? Overall, the great ambiance and excellent customer service really stood out to me, which is why I'm giving The Salt Line 4 stars instead of 3. It's definitely a place I'd visit again!

    Smash burger
    Julie S.

    I came here after the Nats game after doing some research in the stands on where to eat. The Salt Line is right across from Nats Park and overlooks the river. It was a beautiful night with perfect weather, and it seemed like everyone, and their mamas were at the Salt Line. There were tons of baseball fans who went over after the game and the party crowd out on a Saturday night. As for the service, the host and hostess were very friendly and accommodating. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table but considering how packed the place was; it wasn't bad. Our waitress gave us great service and recommended a few dishes and came often to check on us. Very fun and lively vibes at this establishment. I had the clam chowder, Rockfish tartare and New England smash burger. The clam chowder and Rockfish tartare were the standout. Will definitely come back again!

Everyone else had good things to say about their dishes, which included the clam chowder, seafood linguini, and caesar salads. Service was good but uneven in spots; there were some nice touches, but also a few misses. For example, they poured the canned beer for us tableside and remembered a guest's birthday with a small slice of cheesecake (free). But, they forgot crackers to go with the clam chowder, didn't deliver dishes to the correct people, and were a few minutes late bringing the last entree after all the others had arrived. It was a busy night, but also they should be used to that. We sat in the back dining area and the ambiance was fine.

We were told to send an email explaining the situation, which we did two weeks ago, followed by another email one week ago. To date, we have received no response at all. This is extremely frustrating. Not only were we effectively double charged, but the complete lack of follow-up or customer service is unacceptable. We expected much better from a restaurant of this caliber. At the very least, communication and basic billing accuracy should be handled properly.

    My husband and I stopped in (4/10) after lunch for a drink and some oysters. We shared a half dozen…read moresalty-wolfe oysters. I had their Solace Party Cloudy Hazy IPA and he had a Hendricks Martini. The staff was amazing and on top of everything. May was our bartender and Jorge was the barback. Both were super friendly and social. The oysters were good and the drinks were tasty. We would come back. We went back again today (4/11) with some friends and chose a seat outside. The table we chose required you to order your drinks from the bar which was super easy and convenient. May took care of us again and was just as great as yesterday. We started with 6 salty-wolfe oysters and the fried shrimp and calamari combo. Both were delicious. My husband had the oyster po boy with old bay fries and I had the roasted half chicken. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Our friends got oysters, shrimp po boy and a side of the carrots. Between us all we had martinis, margaritas and beer. We really enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend.

The staff was genuinely friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and helped keep the experience seamless from start to finish. I ordered the endive salad, and it was a standout. Fresh, crisp, and beautifully plated, with a great balance of textures and flavors -- the kind of dish that feels both light and thoughtfully composed. The fish and chips were also some of the best I'd had. Between the setting, the service, and the quality of the food, Hank's delivers a well-rounded experience. A great Wharf spot that I'd happily return to.
