Salt

This is the definition of a Speakeasy. Very nice atmosphere that creates a comfortable setting. The drinks are made perfectly. Seriously, the quality of the drinks is amazing. & they pack a punch... especially the Old Fashioned. The food is an added bonus! Not only are the portions large, but it's also delicious. Not too many Speakeasys can say their food matches the quality of drinks. I would recommend Salt for Happy Hour with friends and date nights.

The experience was lovely, the atmosphere was dim lit/moody, the staff were attentive but not annoying, the cocktails were fun/delicious, and the food was good. It may not be your first choice, but I recommend the tuna tartare nachos. They were shockingly delicious. I don’t recommend the wagyu meatballs…the texture was a little strange/smooth/pasty and they tasted like meatloaf. Otherwise, everything else was phenomenal.

This place is a hidden gem that even non-alcoholic drinkers like myself can't resist. The mocktails here are out-of-this-world fantastic! They've managed to create a drink menu that caters to everyone, whether you're an occasional drinker or prefer to skip the booze. Each drink is a work of art, carefully curated and crafted with precision. Now, let's talk about the food. Don't be fooled by the small menu; it's always a good sign. They put as much thought into the food as they do into the drinks. Every ingredient is meticulously selected and combined to ensure that each bite is a flavor of explosion. It's like a symphony of tastes dancing on your tongue. Just a heads up, though: there's a 2-hour limit per person.

Glad we selected Salt, truly a legit cocktail bar! Great service, on point with everything. Very knowledgable and pleasant. Delicious cocktails! We marveled at how well balanced and tasty each was. Never was a drink overwhelmingly strong - the alcohols were perfectly complimented in each beverage. Atmosphere is very chill and laidback - the space was full on a Sat night but never felt crowded. Next time we will have to try the food! Look delicious. Will def be back to try more cocktails as well.

Absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back! My friend brought me here for my birthday and I’m so happy she did. The food was superb and the cocktails were not only delicious but had great presentation. I ordered the Mo Fia mezcal cocktail which was Smokey and delicious. We shared everything and so glad we did so we could try a lot of different dishes. They switch up their menus and we went when they started their fall menu for this year. We tried the burrata, crispy miso pork, housemade gnocchi, and pappardelle bolognese. Everything was so flavorful and presentation was also on point. My favorite was the crispy miso pork where the meat was very crispy but also so tender it melt in your mouth. The chili glaze and apple gochujang purée was so tangy, sweet and had a kick to it. The housemade gnocchi also came on a bed of delicious veggies of mushrooms, butternut squash, and brussel sprouts. It was difficult to find though, I was lost and my friend had to come out to find me. You don’t go up the stairs but instead inside what looks like an office building and then you see a wall of wood. The door handle towards the middle of the wall is the entrance to Salt. You then head down some stairs to be greeted by the host. The ambience is super romantic, dark and sexy. It would be great to bring a date! They also have large booth tables so good for groups. You must make a reservation though as it gets busy. I also appreciated when the General Manager came by each table to check in on how things were going. The staff is very attentive and well trained. I am already thinking which cocktails and dishes I would try next when I visit again! My husband works in Rosslyn so trying to find an excuse to meet up with him at Salt for dinner when he gets off work sometime. The only downside is I really hate parking in Rosslyn. There are paid garage parking nearby but I was lucky to find street parking right on that street in front of Cava. There is a 3.5 hour max on that street but my friend parked on another street nearby that was only 1 hour max so she had to update on ParkMobile. Overall, for the food, drinks and ambience, definitely will go again and I love it when menus can be seasonal so it keeps it interesting and there’s always something new to try.
