Black Salt

$$-$$$, Seafood, Palisades


Fodor's Review:

Black Salt. Just beyond Georgetown in the residential neighborhood of Palisades, Black Salt is part fish market, part gossipy neighborhood hangout, part swanky restaurant. Fish offerings dominate -- there's only one poultry item on the dinner menu -- and are varied and pristine, balancing classics like oyster stew and fried Ipswich clams with more offbeat fixings like fluke with cider vinegar, lobster with kaffir lime, and a tiramisu martini for dessert. The place can get crowded and loud, and advance reservations are a must for weekends. Regulars consider a meal at the bar a good fallback -- it's one of the friendliest spots around.
