Part of Long Shot Hospitality
Building on the success of The Salt Line (DC), Longshot Hospitality is thrilled to bring its third The Salt Line to the Bethesda neighborhood.
The Salt Line combines the spirit of a New England Style Raw Bar and Fish House with the bounty of the Chesapeake and the energy of the Nation’s Capital Region. The original The Salt Line, located across the street from Nats park in the Navy Yard neighborhood, has established itself as one of the best and busiest restaurants in Washington DC. Both neighborhood go-to and dining destination, TSL has received numerous accolades including a coveted three stars from the Washington Post's Tom Sietsema. the 2019 Rammy for Chef of the Year to Kyle Bailey, and the 2020 Rammy for Favorite Gathering Place.
Chef Bailey's menu draws inspiration from New England Classics and showcases his creative talents with seafood charcuterie, crudos, and signature raw bar offerings. The beverage program boasts an extensive cocktail and craft beer list, drawing heavily from NE & local breweries.
The Salt Line is brought to you by Longshot Hospitality, a team of veteran restaurant professionals committed to providing signature dining experiences built around world class food, ambience and hospitality.
