Black Salt is a true neighborhood gem. I work nearby and having been dining there for over 20 years. After all this time, I still consider every visit to be a special event whether it is for lunch, happy hour or dinner. The menu is fantastic. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is always impeccable. And I am always made to feel welcomed and appreciated. I will be back again soon.

This is one of my favorite area restaurants. The food is wonderful, as is the service and attention to diners. We requested a quiet table and were not disappointed. Thank you, Black Salt!

The food quality is very good at Black Salt. There were at least 5 items not listed on the regular menu which were also available for dinner. We liked the fact that several choices were seasonal in nature- which allowed those items to be available.
