Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Southwest Waterfront

We absolutely had the best night at Salt Line with Cheryl , who was fabulous! It was the night after Thanksgiving and you would think the staff would not be enthusiastic to work and Cheryl and the hostess and every single person was incredible! Thank you Cheryl and Salt Line for a great evening!

Always a treat. Sitting at the chef's table/counter this time with my family. We had a great time and left stuffed. We had a bit of everything and everything was a treat. You could easily skip the entrees and just have the side dishes and be perfectly happy as they are awesome and unique. Watching them cook you realize they spend more time and effort toasting a piece of bread than most establishments in Old Town spend on you whole dinner. Looking forward to many more dinners over the years. The Cocktails are also top notch.

Always quality food and great service! One of our go to restaurants in DC.

Good experience, food was very good and servers helpful with first time Ethiopian food clients! Restaurant very pleasant but got a little noisy as it filled up later in the evening. Recommend the lamb tibs, lovely meat!

This place was on my to do list for a year. Did not disappoint. We had one hot pot, it was okay. Person who ordered said he’d chose more tasteful broth then we realized there were condiment bar he could utilize. Server could have been more helpful in explaining how to eat hot pot. The rest of the dishes we shared family style. Sweet and sour fish was crunchy and soft, a hit with all 5 diners especially our 6 yr old. Braised pork belly with tofu delish and savory. Duck dish as very tasty but the bones were too numerous and dangerously slivered. We did not give to younger diner. Boy choy and shittake was tender, could have added some oyster sauce. Beef w/rice noodles a hot all around too. All in all we throughly enjoyed the food, took home some containers for lunches tomorrow. My husband and I will be back again to try hot pot on our next trips to visit family who live in area.
