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.

The food was very good. The avocado toast was amazing, though very spicy. This is not a good place for kids. The kids menu is very limited.

This was an awesome experience! The server was great at explaining each drink. I love how unique each one was - unlike any coffee drinks I’d had before! Also, ending with the ice cream and churros was a really fun option :) I liked that they do have an option for decaf as well for people who maybe having a lower caffeine tolerance. A great experience overall!
