Reviews

The Salt Line Oyster & Ale is a nice upscale restaurant on the wharf district.
They have ample happy hours from 4-6 on Monday through Thursday with Friday’s happy hour from noon to 6 pm.
The oysters were local and delicious.
Fish sandwich was sloppy but good flavor.
The clam chowder is an explosion of flavors, the only thing I didn’t prefer, the soup was too thin, my preference is a thicker base.
If you like sea food and are in the DC area, I’d recommend the Salt Line.

Owner response

Hi, Poulsbo! Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback and so glad you enjoyed our happy hour specials, oysters, and fish sandwich.
You are correct about our clam chowder not being a traditional, thick, New England Clam Chowder version as ours is gluten-free and therefore not thickened by a roux.
I am glad you found it flavorful but sorry that it's thinness caught you off-guard.
We thank you for your recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Best, Chelsea

If I could give it a 10 I would! First off let’s just take in the prime location, the views and ambiance.
The drinks and the food were outstanding.
The wait staff was on top of their game making sure we were satisfied.
The manager Carlos was presently vigilant and came around to introduce himself to everyone make sure things were running smooth.
This is what true customer service and satisfaction is about.

Food was on point!! Our server was nice and helpful with explaining the menu.
My Old Fashion was smooth and my fish sandwich was crispy and succulent 😋😋.
Visit if you can if your are in the Navy Yard area.
