Best Seafood Restaurants in Chevy Chase

Excellent food. I chose gosh from the case and asked for certain rides with it. They accommodated us well.

I 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!

We had our Thanksgiving dinner here for four people. We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time, which was impressive considering how many people were there. The ambiance was nice, we were able to converse easily. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. We all had steaks instead of the Thanksgiving traditional dinner, so we cannot speak to that. Steaks and sides were delicious, and cocktails very nice.

Great scallops, great seafood stew, great Caesar salad, great fish dishes, great presentation, great service. Can’t do better than Black’s in Bethesda.

Both the sign-in crew at the entryway podium as well as the wait staff in the dining room were exceptionally helpful and accommodating to me when I came very early for my reservation. And, then, once my guest arrived, the wait staff continued to go above and beyond. Many menu options tempted us and we were pleased with our choices -- good looking and delicious!
