    This is the best restaurant in the area that no one has ever heard of. I ask people in my neighborhood NW Kent neighborhood if they have been there. The response we have never heard of it. The happy hour 7 days a week is over the top and the food is exceptional. Most drinks $5 and most dishes $5-7. Your marketing team needs to do a much better job promoting NW DC King Street Otsters on Ridge Rd just off Wisconsin next to Wegmans. We entertained 9 guests for brunch there yesterday. Everyone had drinks and a full entre with large order of oysters. Total bill with tax was $450. Best Buy in town.

    Can not recommend it enough - the craft cocktails, blue crab & bone marrow dip followed by oysters and then the seared scallops was AMAZING. Will definitely be returning.

    We had a great dinner at The Salt Line. The selection of raw oysters was great. Our party of 5 ordered a variety of dishes. Our favorites were the Parker house rolls, crab dip, baked cod, and hamachi crudo. Overall, everything was delicious, including the drinks. The service was kind and friendly. A special thanks to Ji, our server. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening!
