Remember how I described Ri-Re, an Irishish restaurant in Bethesda, as being mediocre at best? This time, we tried the Dubliner in DC, in the Phoenix Hotel, near Union Station. No better than Ri-Re.
But then there is Blacksalt, a fish restaurant in the Palisades part of Washington. We went there tonight, and (except that it is expensive) you cannot fault it. It is modern, roomy, open, comfortable, and a fish market as well as a restaurant, so you can assume freshness.
I had wild New England blue sole and my wife had Alaskan halibut. Each came with appropriate accompaniments, and we had a small arugula salad and a fresh grilled sardine as appetizers. A drink a piece, and coffee-flavored Patron liquoer after dinner. Sat at the bar, nice neighbors, friendly bartenders. Recomend highly.
