The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

The Salt Line, the popular DC homage to New England’s iconic fish and oyster houses, brings a second location to Arlington’s burgeoning Ballston neighborhood. Just one year in, The Salt Line has already established itself as one of the top dining spots in Northern Virginia. Executive Chef Matt Singer is leading the kitchen team in partnership with award winning Long Shot Hospitality Chef/Partner Kyle Bailey. The Salt Line is where "New England meets the Chesapeake" so guests can expect the same New England classics and renowned raw bar found at the original location, along with lots of new chef driven fish and seafood entrees, house-made pastas, exciting selections of crudos, and of course the best lobster rolls around. In addition to dining, the welcoming year round outdoor bar (tented in the winter) has also become a favorite neighborhood gathering spot and is the perfect place to enjoy The Salt Line's signature beverage program and grab what many say is the best burger in town.

    Great place for a wonderful relaxing meal. Brought friends visiting from Boston for a local hotspot meal! Those apple pancakes are delectable & worth the calorie splurge!

    We had the beef Wellington! Never had anything quite like it it was amazing. We've watched Hell's kitchen for years and always wanted to go. So I surprised my wife she absolutely was amazed! We go up to Rochester New York yearly from Charleston South Carolina. Definitely make it a yearly stop if not more lol. Our server was amazing. Very bubbly and very attentive! One of the best experiences we've ever had. We sat at a table for twol. Which was perfect because sitting across from the kitchen was like almost watching a Broadway show! Everything that they talk about in the show you can see for yourself. Absolutely amazing.
