Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in North Bethesda

Consistently awesome food. I have to order the gazpacho each time because it is the best I’ve ever had. Delicious zero proof cocktail options. Service was excellent and friendly.

We cannot wait to visit again! The owner and staff are amazing as are the pisco sours and food. What a gem!

The experience was superb. Creative, thoughtful culinary delights are paired with top-notch service and an understated elegant setting for a perfect evening from start to finish. Bravo, chef and team.

Sometimes the greatest luxury is when something simple is done absolutely flawlessly. Our anniversary dinner at Black Salt fits that description. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. The restaurant is open to individual preferences and tweaks. The food was extremely fresh, cooked to perfection, and delicious. Portions were not huge, but satisfying, and beautifully plated. We had oysters, steamed clams, red snapper and fried Ipswich (belly) clams. The oysters were fresh and they had about eight varieties to choose from. The clams were served in a nice garlicky tomatoey broth. The fish was perfectly grilled and lightly seasoned to bring out the flavor. The sides were delicious in themselves. Every vegetable in a medley of mixed vegetables tasted exactly like that vegetable should taste. I suspect they had been cooked and seasoned separately and then joined together at plating. A purée of turnips and parsnips was light and tasty with a nice parsnippy sweetness. A simple salad was fresh and perfectly dressed with a light house vinaigrette. A cranberry orange flan served with a fresh fruit salad completed the meal. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

A return visit to this spacious restaurant with healthy and very tasty options and good service.
