Wow! BlackSalt! Been here forever, it proved tonight just exactly why it has remained a Washington DC favorite for such a long time. This place has it all - great food, great atmosphere, great service all rolled into a comfortable place to be.We had a 13 year old gift certificate to a different "Black" restaurant and they honored it at BlackSalt with absolutely no question. To me, that was the 1st indication of great customer service. I know, I know, every restaurant and retail establishment should honor its gift cards no matter how old. But, really, 13 years??? What was our problem? I guess we really have not been to BlackSalt in that time but that is on us! I appreciate that BlackSalt did not make us work for this gift certificate!The bread service was great (seriously, when was the last time a bread service impressed you???). Slices of baguettes and their version of Parker House rolls. Olive oil mixure with red pepper flakes poured into our dishes from a napkin rolled glass bottle. The bread was warm and fresh; the oil was a perfect foil. Things had started out great!For an appetizer, we shared mussels Belgian style. These too were great. The mussels were probably the biggest I have ever seen - not the shells which were normal sized. But the mussels themselves, inside the shells, were huge - like the size of sliders! Great! The Belgian sauce was perfect - just salty enough, just bacon-y enough, just garlicky enough - perfect!Then our main courses. I selected the wood grilled ahi tuna, mostly because I wanted something with an Asian flair. This had a Thai red curry sauce that floated around like a cloud - just a touch of it on the tuna was enough to hint at strong intense heat while balancing it out with the softer flavors of Thai basil, peanut sauce and cilantro. And the jasmine rice was likewise perfect. The chefs achieved a perfect balance with this dish. In fact, I think that this might be the most perfect dish I have ever had anywhere!My spouse got the halibut special with an herbed crust. Now, I've been around the block with halibut throughout my life. But this halibut pleasantly surprised me. First of all, the piece was HUGE and THICK!!! It was firm like red meat. It was juicy and flaky due to the masterful searing it had received. It formed the savory, pure core of a freakin fantastic dish. The surrounding sauce that included sunchoke, celeriac, carrot, et al, enveloped each bite but did NOT overpower the fish at all at any time. The salt level of the sauce was, at 1st bite, almost too much; however, when you chewed and mixed the sauce with the fish, it was pure heaven. How did the chef know exactly how much salt to use in order to create a perfectly seasoned dish as a whole??? This is where BlackSalt's skill and experience show up!The service too was top notch! Our waiter was Dan - Dan the Man as he said. Not Daniel - too stuffy. Not Danny - too familiar. Just Dan. He was friendly. He was knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients and the mixing of the various dishes. He also showed a willingness to give his opinion on the food, something that I especially appreciate. Dan also had a fantastic culinary expertise himself. Everything he told us about our food turned out to be true. Accolades to Dan for helping to create a great evening for us! Dan will have a long and successful career as a great waiter! He is that good!If there is one negative - and I suppose I am always looking to criticize (it is a review after all) - it would be the decor. The dining room has not been re-done in a long time. While it works, it is tired. Time to spiff up the decor, BlackSalt, to match the quality of food and service!Is this review too much, too great, too perfect??? I fear it is! I fear you will think I am a family member of the owner or an investor. I am NONE of those things. I am a guy, just a guy, a regular guy who loves to eat great food. And that is what BlackSalt delivered to us tonight!If 2023 is as good as our meal tonight, we are in for a VERY GOOD YEAR!!! I highly recommend BlackSalt!
