- AAveryWashington, D.C. Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy partner enjoyed her ricotta-lemon curd pancakes and I very much liked my corn/crab soup and crab cake sliders. Yes, I was in a crabby mood. The flourless chocolate cake on a plate festooned with a "Happy Birthday" and decorations for my wife (I'd noted her birthday when I made the reservation) was a thoughtful (free!) end to a terrific meal. The environment when we went--a late Saturday brunch--was VERY noisy. Glad I wore my hearing aids!More infoSilverPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Bethesda•4.5
- JJpWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI was looking for a good brunch place to take my mother for her 74th birthday. She lives in Bethesda, so I wanted somewhere close that she had not yet tried. My mother can be picky and French is typically her favorite fare. She was a fan of Mon Ami Gabi, but quality there, we feel, has significantly declined and the value proposition just isn’t enough anymore. Her go-to now, is Le Diplomat. Since I didn’t want to go downtown, a little research delivered Salt Line as a worth a shot. Online booking was easy and when we had to increase from 3 to 7, making the change was easy enough. We arrived and were seated immediately. Our server, Umi (I hope I spelled that correctly) seemed new, but was really nice and attentive. She was quite responsive and any time she didn’t know something, she was honest about it and got the answer quickly. She didn’t try to fake it. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Service throughout the meal was quick, attentive and the team worked well together. The ONLY reason that I didn’t rate the food 5 stars is because my girlfriend found the Portuguese Stew to be salty. But I’m being picky here. Shrimp from the Shrimp Cocktail were sizable! The guests that had the Oysters were quite pleased and all other dishes were unanimously delicious. Definite Recommend. Bravo to the team there!More infoThe Salt Line - BethesdaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Bethesda•4.5
