"This is the place to go on Bethesda Row if you are in the mood for freshly shucked oysters and ale. From the blue-and-white booths to photos of fisherman lining the walls, the nautical space screams seafood. Salt Line is also the perfect place to sample coddie — a crispy Maryland favorite featuring salted cod and tender Yukon Gold potatoes. For something more substantial, delve into a Portuguese stew brimming with clams and oysters. A new weekday happy hour (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) features half-priced priced local oysters, $10 select cocktails, $4-$6 beers, and $9 wines. The Navy Yard-born raw bar and sustainable seafood restaurant also maintains an area outpost in Ballston." - Claudia Rosenbaum
