   Food was delicious and drink was good. Service was terrible. Waiter was uninterested and didnt want to be there. He did not introduce himself and never check on us. Other servers were having to do his work. Unfortunate because food is so good.

   Hi, Amanda! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food & drinks, however we're sorry to learn that the service didn't meet your expectations. It's disappointing to hear your experience was impacted by a lack of attention from your server, & we sincerely apologize for that. We take pride in providing a welcoming & attentive experience, so it's concerning to hear this wasn't reflected during your visit. We do work as a pooled house & follow a team-service model so it's not unusual for several servers to assist with one table, but obviously no member of the team should ever appear disinterested or unengaged. We’d love the opportunity to make it right & hope you'll give us another chance to show you the level of service you deserve. Thank you again for your feedback. Best, Chelsea

   It was OK, but I don’t understand the high ratings.. the coleslaw was pretty awful.. the salad was over salted and the oysters on the Waterman’s platter (fried seafood platter) were overcooked, the shrimp were small, like salad shrimp, the scallops had an ammonia taste .. inedible .. our server was really nice but I wouldn’t go back or recommend this to an out of town visitor

   We absolutely had the best night at Salt Line with Cheryl , who was fabulous! It was the night after Thanksgiving and you would think the staff would not be enthusiastic to work and Cheryl and the hostess and every single person was incredible! Thank you Cheryl and Salt Line for a great evening!

   Salt Line never disappoints. Had a great girls night with fantastic crab dip, a great fish sandwich and delicious desserts. Staff was incredibly helpful and kind throughout our experience. Will be going back!

   The Salt Line is our goto after a Washington Spirit game. We generally sit at the bar and the service, because it gets so busy, is a bit slower but that’s ok. Save with one bartender, our experience is always mediocre and only the one bartender ever acknowledges it. Either food is missing, we aren’t given menus forever, drinks never come, when asking for the whisky menu we get odd looks…Nothing that stops us from going back as the oysters are great but others may be put off.

   This was our first time to the Salt Line and it was very good. We liked the range of options for entrees and the crab cheese dip was fantastic. Our server was attentive and personable and the decorations of the restaurant were welcoming. The quality of food was good but for the price we would have liked more attention to the flavors. Overall, we recommend this place for a nice night out for 2 for a small group of friends.

    Two stars off for the food quality Two stars off for service The food is just not tasty. Period. We ordered a-lot of food and maybe 1or 2 of them were okay. Maybe a 3out of 5 and the rest were 1or 2 out of 5. Scallops smelled bad and fishy Seafood was NOT fresh. Didn't have tabasco sauce for the oysters. They had their "own" hot sauce which would be fine if it had been tasty.. which it wasn't. For the price they set (which was not cheap) the food just tasted... bad Service was mediocre. Not very attentive and the servers looked "busy" but it wasn't even that busy. They straight out ignored us on purpose several times. For this quality of food and service we will NOT be coming back. And I discourage anyone else. Save your money for someplace else
