Salt is a perfect example of a 5 star restaurant. Our waiter was very personable, attentive and knowledgeable. There is offered a wide variety of entrees and a fantastic wine list. I had the wagoo and my wife had the lamb, both amazingly prepared. It is a little expensive but very much in line with the best of the best of 5 star dining.

My wife and I had a lovely dinner at David's for her birthday. We shared the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio to start. For entrees, I had the Rack of Lamb, she had the Picanha Wagyu, and we shared the Mushroom Risotto. They were proactively attentive to our dietary needs. Everything was top-knotch and we can't wait to come back!

Amelia Island

About the restaurant

The Louisiana French Creole use the term “lagniappe” to describe something that’s “a little something extra,” and that's exactly what chef owner Brian Grimley knows it takes to transform a dish from mere food into an experience you never forget. Inspired by the culture and flavors of New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah, Chef Grimley's Lagniappe- Amelia Island combines the traditions of the French Creole with unique twists on Southern culinary staples using only the freshest local ingredients. And should you wish to elevate your experience by imbibing one of the many cocktails on the menu, you'll choose from a range of both classic and new wave cocktails inspired by the eclectic spirit of the South.

From the moment we arrived we were treated as if we were the only diners. Our server (Patrick) was attentive, anticipatory, and a gracious host. Food and drinks were well prepared and tasty. Not our first time to Bar Zin nor will it be our last.

Great food and good service. However the restaurant was no more than 50% full and they sat all parties of 2 side by side instead of spreading out throughout the restaurant. I felt like we were sitting with 2 other couples.

An elegant, modern space with good table separation and exquisite service. Attentive but not intrusive. And interesting and varied selection of dishes, something for everyone. The crab dip is not to be missed! Knowing that this was an anniversary dinner for my friends, the maitre d' arranged for several special touches that made a good time even better.

Our server Chris was so sweet and kind. We were celebrating our daughters 7th birthday, and from giving her extra wikki sticks to be busy with her hands, to comping her meal and the giant chocolate cake slice - the restaurant was super gracious and kind. The food was great. The PEI mussels were a hit. Must go for a nice unwinding meal if you’re at the resort.
