    Special event at Salt
    Vanessa T.

    Wow, Salt i have been wanting to come here for so long! I saw they were having a special dinner for closing of the Restaurant Week and me and a friend signed up! Walking in they greeted you with a cocktail or champagne ( love that!) They have a small lounge/ bar area, so we got seats next to the fireplace and enjoyed the spoiling :) Then dinner started, each course was wonderful! Loved the bread courses with the butter and assorted salts. Serves were everywhere, quickly clearing the table, refilling anything you needed. Just all around a lovely fancy evening out! Food was fantastic.

    Last night was such a treat My friend and I went to the closing dinner for Amelia Island Restaurant Week at Salt inside The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, and it did not disappoint. Four different chefs, four incredible courses, and every dish more delicious than the last. Amazing food, great company, beautiful ambiance, such a fun way to wrap up an incredible week.

    Specialty cocktails

    Fine dining at its very best! The specialty cocktails were 2 of the most amazing that I've ever had. I loved that the bread service included unsalted butter that you could then choose to add from the variety of salts provided ie citrus or smoky... all delicious (and available for purchase to take home). My favorite dish was the cobia- cooked to perfection, moist and flaky with just the right crust. I also highly recommend their unique twist on baklava! It was amazing with a fresh cup of french press. The service was excellent.. our glasses were never less than half full and the view was spectacular! Absolutely recommend Salt if you are looking for an upscale splurge!!

    What a wonderful time! We celebrated my 39th birthday at Salt, and everything was just perfect. The ambiance was amazing, low lights, soft music, and a welcoming vibe that set the mood from the moment we walked in. From the warm greeting to the very end of our meal, the experience was fantastic. David, our server, was attentive and made sure each course was spot on. We tried a few appetizers and a steak, and the flavors were outstanding. I especially loved the unique touch of having three different types of salt to customize our food each one transformed the dish, making it feel like we were enjoying three meals in one! The drinks were delightful, but the cherry on top was the thoughtful birthday gift, a piece of chocolate and salt to take home. We absolutely loved it, and we'll definitely be back!

    One of the best meals I've had!! Everything we ordered was SO good and did not disappoint. It was such a vibe too. Of course, the service was amazing, and the food presentation. They offer a piece of complimentary bread. None of the meals were salty at all lol! I love how they give you 3 different salts to take home. Love a good souvenir. What I ordered: - OCTOPUS: Castelvetrano Olives, Piquillo Peppers, Chorizo Oil - PASTA: Cestini, King Crab, Lobster, Fennel - LOBSTER: Whole Maine Lobster, Grits, Shellfish-Tomato Emulsion - WAGYU: Fried Rice, Warm Gochujang Vinaigrette - SOUFFLÉ: White Chocolate Soufflé, Chocolate Vanilla Anglaise, Chocolate Ice Cream

    A friend was in town and staying at The Ritz for a conference. She had a reservation at Salt and invited me to join her. Interestingly, although I'd obviously heard of Salt and been at The Ritz on several occasions, I hadn't dined there. So I was open to trying it. We went with the tasting menu for which was seafood themed and five courses. Walking in, the place was nice and quiet. All of their salts were on display, just past the host stand. We were taken to a table, and our waitress came over almost immediately to offer bread with butter and some of their salts. I loved being able to taste a few different salts. The five course tasting menu was disappointing overall. While there were definite high points such as the branzino, several dishes lacked seasoning such as the sole. I also wasn't a fan of the Paris Brest that they served for dessert but the blueberry ice cream accompanying it was delicious. For a lower price point, I would't have minded but for $245, I expected the food to be amazing...it wasn't. It sort of seemed to me that the prices are unnecessarily high here. I did appreciate however that we got to choose which salt we wanted to take home at the end of the night. If I returned, I would order a main entree off the menu and skip the tasting menu.

    We attended a private lunch event at Salt, called the Chefs Theater where the head chefs conduct cooking demonstrations. You can enjoy champagne while they demonstrate each dish, then you are served the dishes with a beautiful wine pairing. It's such a memorable, and enjoyable way to experience Salt. On this occasion, we enjoyed the following fine dining courses... Lightly cooked scallops with artichoke veloutè, chanterelles, and caviar Halibut with lobster medallions, parsnip, and beurre noisette Key lime soufflè Everything was wonderful! I learned so much about fine dining and how important it is to use good ingredients. The wine was fantastic, the view was gorgeous, and the service was lovely. It was also fun to meet the chefs and get to know them. Salt offers a beautiful fine dining experience and I would definitely recommend you give them a try.

    Me and my partner went for date night a few weeks ago and the food was quite bland to say the least. He got the beef wagyu entree and the portion size was the size of a child's hand. Definitely not worth the price. I had the tasting menu. It was ok but I've had better lobster and better wagyu. The fish was not that good. Bland! You're paying for the ritz prices not for a great meal. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. We won't be back for a meal but will probably go to the bar sometime. The ambience was nice.

    Had the opportunity to eat dinner at Salt twice last week and thoughts it was really good. The first night was prefixed menu as we had a party of 6, the following night we Closed out the restaurant out for a team dinner. Everything was delicious from beginning to end. No complaints and we have over 200 ppl in the restaurant. The lobster was so fresh and the steak just melted in my mouth. The dessert was really good. I would most definitely dine here Again. It was not cheap.

    Not a bad word to say. We were on a week long family trip to a couple resorts and this meal is the best we had as far as food, service and ambiance. The attention to detail is what sets them apart from other restaurants. Olga our waitress was personable and made sure our every needs were attended before we even had to ask (especially with our almost two year old daughter there as well). We had the pasta special, a salad, Sole, Beef and souffle. Our favorites were the Wagyu beef with an Asian sauce and the Seafood pasta with the fennel cream sauce. The fennel perfectly balanced out the richness of the seafood and cream. There was also a lobster amuse which I could have eaten 6 of. Again thank you to Olga for making it a special evening for our family.

    To begin Salt is the white tablecloth of the Ritz Carlton in Jacksonville, Fl. Being in the Ritz speaks for itself. Everyone and everywhere you go within the hotel you receive great service and our waiter at Salt provided exceptional service. The room was a little dated, dark brown cigar-style, although we were informed they were setting up for a major renovation. My wife and I at the Ritz for our Wedding anniversary so they took extra care of us and made us feel special. I highly recommend Salt and also the smokey old fashion at the lobby bar. Go and enjoy!!

    Ask the Community - Salt

    Is the restaurant kid/ toddler friendly?

    Is there a way to make a reservation for one? The online reservation system won't accept single diners.

    I would call The Ritz. They're super nice and accommodating.

    Dress for evening dining?

    Minimum: collared shirt, pants and closed toe shoes

    Do they serve the full menu at the bar/lounge?

    No-the bar has sushi and other items but not the Salt menu. The Coast restaurant and bar offer same food I believe. However, the lobby bar has greater variety in drinks than Coast. E

    My tongue is so happy! Yelpland people, do yourself a solid, order the French dip and onion rings,…read moresee if Jada can serve them. You will not be disappointed! Seriously, the best French dip ever, absolutely no fat, the au juice was spot on, onion rings were so flavorful I would have smacked the hands if anyone trying to steal them. We also ordered the chicken tenders, very good indeed, But, we will be back for the French dip, tomorrow send the next day and the next day

    We really enjoyed our time at the Salty Pelican Bar & Grill. We took a day trip from Jacksonville…read moreto Amelia Island- and this came up as a recommendation when doing some research, and boy am I glad I went. It was quite packed and busy during lunch time, so recommend getting a reservation. I wasn't sure of our itinerary and so we didn't make one- but were able to call and get seating. We were sat outside on the deck- and it was BEAUTIFUL! Nice view of the water and nice breeze to combat the heat and humidity. Our waitress was working with another waitress but she was kind- I did notice that a table sat after us was serviced first- and it was a bit hard to wave her down to get refills and things, but they were very busy. We got their fish and chips after a regular there had recommended it- it was also their special of the day, along with hush puppies, calamari, and my brother got the chicken Caesar wrap. Food was delicious!
