- TTiaVIPWashington, D.C. Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLast night was nothing short of epic! My girlfriends and I kicked off 2025 with a sensational dinner at On Saint Elmo, and wow, what an experience it was! I had visited during the grand opening, but returning was even more exhilarating. The lobster bisque pasta? Absolute magic! Each bite was a slice of heaven, especially when paired with a crisp glass of white wine that danced on my palate. The manager went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even filled us in on all the thrilling upcoming events at the restaurant! But the highlight of the night? Meeting the amazing Chef Gregory! He was warm and personable, coming over to chat with us and soak in the fantastic atmosphere. My friends couldn’t stop raving about their dishes, savoring every delicious flavor! We left buzzing with excitement, already counting down the days until our next visit for that mouthwatering food, vibrant ambiance, stellar service, and fantastic music! It truly was the perfect evening, and we can't wait for our next exhilarating adventure there!More infoOn St ElmoPrice: Very Expensive• American• Bethesda•4.6

Users of the health club directly above the restaurant cause noise when they drop weights on the floor. Menu could use more variety. For example a chicken dish. shrimp scampi or shrimp with noodles could be made using product already on the menu.More infoThe Salt Line - BethesdaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Bethesda•4.5
