    This is one of the best restaurants on Amelia Island. The chef is very creative, the ambience is excellent, the prices are reasonable given the overall quality and originality of the food, and the service is great. The warm, very fresh bread was served in a chest. A nice touch. There was just one misfire. The Oysters Rockefeller were small, dry and overbaked with minimal taste. But the entree which followed, a special addition to the menu, was a fabulous, large piece of perfectly grilled grouper served over a wonderful risotto with a Latin flare. It was magnificent. One of the best seafood dishes I have ever had. The chef promised to make it a regular addition to the menu so I will definitely be back in the future to have this again. There is an extensive wine list but I really enjoyed the house mocktail, a blueberry limeade. Excuse the misfire. The grouper was so good I didn't care. Everything else was great. Highly recommend.

    I wanted to love this restaurant, but they had a limited selection of menu choices and I am not sure salmon is local to the area, but they had it. It was very good, the staff was very nice, the prices in some cases were very high, one of the items I wanted... unfortunately, not much options for someone who is gluten free. I knew that going in. I gave it five stars in spite of the limitations. It's very nice for a person with no diet restrictions.

    This was not our first time dining at Salt. What is amazing is that the staff remembers us from previous visits. We are always assured that our dinner will be presented and cooked magnificently. We are enthusiastically anticipating the newly remodeled Salt to open later this month!!!
