“This is a GEM!!! Intimate, lovely set up (2floors) Staff is extremely welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and just Top Tier Service. We had 2 Lobster rolls with mayo (hold the lemon) and a shrimp pots boy oh and the Lobster bisque added lobster (i would've liked for the added lobster to be more whole pieces they gave us Lil pieces) overall this was a 10/10. Keep up the good work and thank you to the amazing staff that made it all possible. We will be back.“

“Had a great Saturday night before a holiday party. Service at the bar was excellent. Four starts because the menu could use a few more vegetable options. Smoked fish dip was too creamy and that drowned the taste of the dish in the dip. Oysters were insanely good.

That said, cocktails and the bartender were excellent. Beautiful decor too.“

“Amazing great restaurant.“

“The food was extremely delicious, tasty with flavor. Whoever is cooking is putting their soul into making those dishes because it was so good that it made me want to visit Mexico. Next time we're in DC, we're definitely coming back.“

“I’ve dined at Michelin-starred restaurants across the globe, and Black Salt stands out as exceptional! From the exquisite food to the impeccable service, everything was top-notch. JJ, who oversees the front of the house, demonstrates an extraordinary attention to detail. Our server, Tom, was an absolute delight—knowledgeable, attentive, and a true professional.“

“One of the best places in Dc and right on the water!“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“All in all, this was a very decent place and they had a lot of great choices on the menu - just like the rest of DC the food is just not that great compared to other cities - I did have fun at this restaurant though, and it’s in a good part of town“

“Very nice spot on DC wharf ! The fish & chips of my wife and my lobster roll was excellent !“

“In a word: Nice.
Everything about this restaurant is so nice: from the views to the atmosphere of the restaurant itself and the service, all is a nice experience. It is a very big place as they have seating in different places. I particularly enjoyed the covered seating on the outside near the water. The menu was varied and offered a variety of seafood options. I enjoyed the crispy crunchy hush puppies and the clam chowder. Very tasty! The service was excellent as well. Would I return to this restaurant? Yes!“

“My daughter and son-in-law treated me for my birthday and what a treat it was! From the birthday champagne treat to the special popcorn to the dessert and all meals in between—nothing disappointed. The food was delicious. Filet mignon prepared to perfection. Lamb chops, braised beef, shrimp—all delicious. The sides; I could go on. My husband also enjoyed his meal. Our particular teenaged granddaughter loved her chicken tenders. Even our 2 year old granddaughter enjoyed her kids meal. Definitely will return. This was our first time but it won’t be our last. And last but not least—our server, Micaiah, was the best. Her recommendations were on point. Top notch and so professional!“

The food is completely amazing and all three of us loved everything we ate (scallops, filet, chicken) but it was very much the staff that made the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended. Beautiful restaurant.“

“Great tasting gourmet fish sandwiches!!“

“Had an early dinner, and I love this place and definitely will come again!! Even though my first language isn't English, and sightseeing by myself, alone, the GREAT waiters at the bar were very kind and polite to me. LOVE the atmosphere, the oysters were delicious, and so were the cocktails.“

“Nice new place to meet. Bonus points for walking distant to the Capitol. The eggs were absolutely amazingly delicious - cannot be over praised.“

“This is probably the best pasta I’ve had in DC. I’ve been here twice for dinner now, and the pastas were all great. We got a few smaller portions - the alla norma, taglioni, rigatoni, and agnolotti - all were good. We also tried the sfincione [we are both Sicilian], which was OK but not really a sfincione. Good wine selection and great espresso martinis too. Will return.“

“I love the shrimp basket with the Cajun fries🥰“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner with family last night. Oysters were delicious with a great hot sauce provided from the Bronx. Skate and Monkfish specials of the day were excellent. Monday night and there was not an empty table. Testament to the great food and wonderful servers.“

“My husband really wanted some fish so we tried this place. The fish is fresh they clean and cook it. Order ahead because the lines are long and so is the wait. He said the fish was ok but needed more seasoning. The fries were great!

Parking: It was crowded and parking was slim I found a parking space right in front but people were pulling up in the street and parking next to parked cars and picking up their food. It could cause a problem especially doing rush hour.“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. Guarantee.🔥💯❗️“

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“Visiting from St Louis and so glad we came across Luke’s Lobster! We ordered Luke’s flight so we could try all three rolls. Each one was so delicious. We also got the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder. Very good!! Friendly service and neat atmosphere.“

“truly one of the best airport restaurant experiences I have ever had!! The staff here is phenomenal, stephen is amazing and will make your day you can’t not smile sitting at his bar. The food is wonderful as well but I cannot overstate how amazing the service is! thank you all :)“

“FISH NEVER GREASY“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying Seafood Boss and I can confidently say it's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fresh and flavorful fried seafood. The fish and shrimp platter with Boom sauce was a standout—perfectly cooked, with a burst of flavor in every bite. The owner was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're a foodie or simply looking for a great meal, definitely delivers on both taste and service. Highly recommend!“

“The smoked salmon blt is the absolute truth!! Only $12.50 for a sandwhich PACKED with FRESH, QUALITY ingredients! Also the cardamom ginger lemonade is SO refreshing, honestly I could come for that alone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible for wheelchair by street level double doors.“

“their lobster salad was amazing! And as someone who's had NOLA gumbo, theirs ranked up! Would definitely visit again“

“I visited one day for lunch, and got the shrimp po boy with fries. It was delicious! The cost was reasonable. The shrimp were a good size, seasoned and fried well. The fries were tasty too. I hope they stick around and continue to serve good food at good prices. I'll be back!“

“Unreal 5 star arrive and food . I agree Michelin for sure“

“Got fried croaker dinner with red potatoes and brussel sprouts. Enough food for 2 days. Red potatoes cooked to perfection. Sprouts seasoned perfectly without being salty. I fortunately, the fish was disappointing, greasy, small (2 pieces). Didn't enjoy either, picked through it and trashed it. I won't attempt anything else like that again.
Staff was friendly.“

“The food was phenomenal. It is a great atmosphere and the customer service was outstanding! I’d recommend trying all the different type of oysters on the menu!“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“Everything was really good, we got wings and red snapper (I ordered catfish but didn’t understand me) the wings were fresh and crispy, I got lemon pepper wet and the fried rice was great. There’s a bit of a language barrier, they mostly speak Spanish, but other than that 10/10“

“Love Ruth Chris and was happy that this location was around the corner from our hotel. Sat at the bar since it wasn't too busy. Bartender/server took her time getting to us and wasn't really too helpful with the menu. The pomegranate martini was amazing. The stuffed chicken breast had me almost eating my fingers. It was that good. The cheese was so tasty and flavorful along with the perfectly seasoned chicken. It was mouthwatering. The server surprised us with a birthday cheese for my bestie, which was very thoughtful. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Will return but will do table service instead.“

“Great service, good food, nice patio, bar & inside spaces“
