Diner Reviews

"My husband and I have dined at Salt on a number of occasions, and it is consistently wonderful. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and helped make our evening special. I have been a vegetarian for decades (my husband is not) and my vegetarian dinner was truly one of the best meals I've ever had. My husband had a fish dish which he enjoyed very much, as well. The only downside of our evening was that we were seated in the area often used as a private dining room. We could hear only a bit of the live music available, and the restaurant also had recorded music playing through the speakers. The combination wasn't great. Even with this issue, we had a lovely evening and we will definitely be back."

"Salt truly is a gem that must be experienced. From the service to the food.....absolutely worth every dollar. You will not be disappointed."

"Server asked us to consider ordering souffle when we ordered our meals since it takes some time, so after asking him some questions about the choices, we did order the Gran Marnier souffle. After the meal, he asked us if we wanted dessert and acted like he "misunderstood" us when we told him we had already ordered the souffle. Obviously, he forgot to put in the order and tried to chalk it up to a misunderstanding. It was late and we were tired, so we didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for dessert. He was not very apologetic about it and didn't offer to make it up to us in another way with a different dessert. It was a rather disappointing end to an otherwise good meal."

"Restaurant was beautiful and had a nice romantic feel. Service was top notch and very helpful with selections. Loved all the extra touches here...the samples from the chef, the multiple salt selections, the closing meal candies, and of course the caramels and goody bag. The food was great. Presentation was amazing. My husbands steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. My fish was delicious, flaky, and not overcooked. My only negative...and this is not on the restaurant...is that I found out I don't really like dessert soufflé. But other than that...we loved our meal and dining experience. Would definitely recommend this restaurant...especially for special occasions."

"that describes the food as well as the service...the creativity of the kitchen amazed with each dish...the flavors were vibrant...add to that a window table watching the full moon rise and it made for a wonderful evening...not inexpensive however the experience is absolutely worth it!!!"

"The dinner we had was good, but for the price, it should have been excellent. I've had better meals for far less money and will not be dining at Salt again."

"I dropped a decent sum on dinner here but it was worth every penny. The waitress was informative and attentive. The chef split our appetizer for us which was incredible and the soufflé for dessert was fantastic. The little extras made the experience that much more. I recommend a special occasion like an anniversary as it is very expensive but worth a try"

"As usual our stay at the Ritz was amazing. Excellent service and accommodations. I was looking for a nice restaurant to take my wife and found Salt. The staff at Salt were amazing. From the second we walked in each of the staff were wishing us Happy Anniversary. They gave us complimentary champagne, chocolates and samples of the different salts we tried during dinner. The food was amazing and the plating was beautiful."

"We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary and every thing was perfect! Our servers were just attentive with out being too much. The food was incredible! Would totally recommend Salt to anyone."

"We were first time guests celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary (recommendations for Salt, the Grill came by word of mouth). We decided not to order from the menu but did the Chef's choice, and were wowed by the appetizer, two entrees, and dessert selections. On top of that the hostess asked if we were celebrating something special when we checked in, so as a final touch to a fabulous evening, the Chef sent out a plate, with "Happy 25th Anniversary" drizzled in chocolate, with a few more little sweet treats, 2 glasses of a rose champaigne, and two little gift salts that I had mentioned when the appetizers were served, what a very personal touch to a very special evening. Truly, truly a fine dining experience!"

"Celebrated anniversary, definitely returning. Per the name Salt, beautifully infused salts are served at the table to complement every course. Started with gruyere cheese roll sprinkled it with apple wood salt. Chef's Adventure Menu was superb. Menu started with tuna appetizer with mandarin orange wedges and hearts of palm over raisin spread. Elk shank was perfect medium rare over a cranberry glaze and corn/barley hash, Hawaiian salt enhanced nicely. Tile fish had buttery texture, moist and flaky over greens. Dessert was a Grand Marnier soufflé with a dollop of citrus ice cream that was herb infused. All staff were genuine and treated us to champagne and handmade truffles. Wine pairings were perfect. Patty was a fantastic server."

"Celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. Service and food were both exceptional. The only glitch was some very loud people at a couple of tables near us....but that certainly did not prevent us from having a wonderful evening. This is our fourth or fifth anniversary celebrated at SALT and we will, in all probability, be back again."

"My wife and I were married at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island 15 years ago and celebrated our anniversary there. They did an outstanding job. We were greeted with Champagne flutes and then had seared Marlin. We special ordered a dish that the Chef created which was Chateaubriand. He brilliantly cooked the dish and then served it on a hot salt brick where we able to sear the meat and absorb some of the flavoring. It was outstanding. To cap off the evening, the Ritz Carlton re-created our wedding cake (a mini version) for desert. If you are looking for a great restaurant with attention to every detail, Salt is it. We thank them a terrific evening and look forward to sharing other special occasions with them as well."

"I felt like it was TOO expensive to return to. It was excellent food and service, but not worth the check for me."

"Located at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island, FL this establishment is absolutely magical. Beautiful dining room overlooking the ocean with service second–to-none. The menu is small, but every dish is a piece of culinary art. Very good for beef and veal dishes, as well as some creative seafood dishes. Great dessert offerings as well. Perfect for any special occasion. This restaurant is not really kid friendly, but give it a shot. I have dined here four times in the last year and will return again."

"The Food was fantastic the ambience great The service was excellent and beyond our expectation if give the opportunity I would suggest Matt from the wait staff he was attentive and listened to everything we said and far exceeded out expectation. Thank you for a memorable evening My wife and I look forward to returning"

"We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday here. The food, especially the trademark salts, was a hit with the whole party, and the wine was excellent. Mom had the Tasmanian trout, my husband had steak and a grilled romaine salad, and I had the diver scallop and only wished I could have slurped the broth (not with Mom watching!). The highlight of the evening was a presentation to Mom at the very end: house-made truffles, macaroons and caramels on a plate with a lit candle and Happy Birthday written in chocolate. Superb!"
Dined on 11/8/2013
"The entire meal from appetizers to dessert was delicious. Had my first try of Wagyu beef. Fatty, yes but that's why it's so darn good. One minor flaw to the meal and everyone did so much to correct the problem you knew they only wanted the best for you. Expensive and worth every penny."
Dined on 10/27/2013
"Everything about the meal and service was top-notch....pricey but well worth it."

"We both have been involved in high end restaurants and private clubs for many years as executive Chef and Management. We have grown jaded and spoiled. Thank you for such a fine dinner and even finer service. Every step of service was hit on (I counted 25) Patty our server and Brandon the assistant along with many more who touched our table...excellent job. Well worth the price. And the food? Aaaahhh ! We did the Chef's adventure. Which I highly recommend!! Wine pairings were spot on perfect. Our bill was $300. Not something we normally do, but what a treat. Well worth it."
Dined on 10/25/2013
"I not sure I've ever said is, but there is noting to suggest the do better. This restaurant is perfection!"
Dined on 10/20/2013
"This restaurant is fantastic! While definitely a special occasion restaurant for most of us, it is well-worth the pricey menu. My fiancee and I both got the Chef's Adventure (hers paired with wine) and it was worth every penny. The food was perfectly prepared and wonderfully presented, with the stars being the Antelope tenderloin and Scallops with Chorizo. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is celebrating or just wants a very nice night out."
Dined on 10/20/2013
"Even though we had both our young boys with us, the atmosphere was great! I ordered the rib-eye, it was the most succulent steak I've ever tasted. Shanna, our server, brought out the Applewood Salt to try with the steak and that's what made it SPECTACULAR!! The quinoa risotto was amazing and the deconstructed cheese cake was a great way to end the meal!! Amazing---will absolutely re-visit this one!!"
Dined on 10/17/2013
"We had the wine pairing tasting menu and it was beautifully served by Chris. The food was exquisite and the service impecable. This restaurant could easily make it in NY! This is our first visit to Jacksonville, and if we return "Salt" will be in the dinner plan!"

"The Salt at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island is a 5 star restaurant, with a romantic atmosphere, supurb food and service. It is not cheep but I feel one gets their moneys worth. Food presentation is like a work of art. The attentiveness of the servers are just right. The view of the ocean from the window, which is the full lengthof the outer wall, is maginificent. Go dancing in the next room after dinner and the night is almost complete."

"So good. Took my girlfriend for her birthday, she loves salt. With a name like salt I was afraid everything would be so seasoned I wouldn't be able to eat but its very lightly seosoned so u can add some of there seasoned salt at the table. The food was prepared perfectly."
Dined on 10/4/2013
"From the arrival through departure, it is just an amazing experience. Ryan, our lead server was outstanding. The Amuse-bouche (tuna) through the entrees and chocolate soufflé were all perfectly paired with wonderfully complimentary salts from around the world. It truly is an experience, far from just a restaurant."

"Simply one of the best restaurants you dine at in Florida or anywhere!"
