The Salt Line

The Salt Line is located across the street from the Nationals Ballpark, and has been one of our favorite seafood spots in the city since it opened in June 2017. Looking through the blog archives, I noticed I've never written up a review before. How is this possible?! Well, in order to document this restaurant in my catalog, let's start today. Led by chef and partner, Kyle Bailey, this restaurant takes inspiration from the magical blend where fresh and salt water come together, allowing oysters to thrive. The other major partner is Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, so this place is often jammed on game nights. Classic New England dishes influenced by the bounty of the Chesapeake are highlighted on the menu, along with a nice selection of local beer, wine, and frozen drinks. Closest Metro is Navy Yard.

100+ Days of Dining During COVID-19

It's been over 100 days since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down restaurants and what seems like all aspects of our "normal" social lives. Many news headlines report how "the fate of the restaurant industry is uncertain as the coronavirus outbreak keeps customers home and forces the closure of thousands of locations." It can be challenging to find ways to support my favorite restaurants when I've had to stay at home. Thus, this blog has been quiet lately on any restaurant reviews and may stay that way for some time longer.
