    My reservation time was changed several times and this was frustrating. The Dover Sole was over $100 which was not fair. We had eaten Dover Sole two nights earlier at David's Restaurant and it was half that price. I felt there are too many people at the welcoming table that are not needed. Musician was in the bar and could not be heard at all in the restaurant.

    Salt is one of my favorite Ritz Carlton restaurants and tops in Amelia Island. The beach/ocean view is lovely, the food is delicious and the staff is the absolute best- especially our server, David, who helped make our experience so special. The only issue I had was my Dover Sole was over salted. I was concerned my tastebuds were off but everyone tasted it and said the same thing. The Grand Mariners Soufflé was the best dessert by far, but in second came the goat cheese baklava which was so unique, not overtly sweet and simply sublime. I highly recommend Salt for a special night while visiting Amelia Island, FL.

    Although we are delighted to discover that you found the service and ambience to be exceptional during your visit to Salt (5/5), we are terribly regretful that we did not meet your expectations for overall satisfaction (4/5), food (3/5) and value (3/5). We expect perfection during each occasion in Salt, are very sorry to have missed the mark. Was our service team made aware of your dissatisfaction? Might we ask the name on your reservation in order to seek resolution?

    Upon entering the Salt restaurant were greeted so kindly by the host and hostess. The servers, Patty and Lauren were friendly and provided exceptional service along with another team member serving water and clearing. The restaurant was nice with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. However, it was very loud in the dining room. The food presentation was beautifully. The food was good, but the portion size was not inline for the value of the main meal. Dessert was tasty. Overall dining experience was pleasant.

    Salt at the Ritz Amelia Island is one of the top elite restaurants in the world that does everything to perfection. From your initial welcome to the ambiance and setting directly ocean front, you are enveloped in an environment that feels private, yet there are other guests around you. The service is not overbearing but done to perfection as well. Food is prepared as if it were customized for your pallet and cooked to perfection. I've used this word several times in this review, but Salt is deserving of this rating, and they are within the top 1 or 2 restaurants that I have dined at in the world.

    Our server, Olga, was wonderful! And the service overall is outstanding. But the food was surprisingly disappointing. Small portions for steep prices, with less flavor than you’d expect dining at a restaurant of this status. You only get 2 options (per course) on the pre-fixe, and aren’t asked how you’d like your protein cooked. All 3 of our salmon entree orders came raw inside. Not the experience we hoped for, but we did appreciate the kind staff and excellent service.

    Dear Anonymous, Although were are pleased to read that you enjoyed the service provided by Olga and the team in Salt, we are terribly regretful to discover that you did not find the Holiday Prix Fixe Menu offerings agreeable. Our goal is for perfection during each occasion, especially on an evening featuring a unique menu; our sincere apologies for missing the mark. We hope that you will return to delight in our standard menu and be sure to mention to our service team if anything is not to your liking, so we may find a speedy resolution.

    We loved dining here. A quick explanation for the scores. Great experience overall, food was good but not overly impressive. As to say, if you’re a foodie, I wouldn’t say that you’ll be blown away. However, we had a great seat by the window, the service is top notch. Our water Matthew was outstanding and the manager checked on us during our meal. Overall, if you’re staying at the Ritz it’s a must but if you think you need to drive 45 min or so from somewhere else to dine here, I would say there’s probably a 4.5 or above near you that might accomplish the same thing. Wine list is fantastic, have a level 1 som on staff. Recommend going pre-sunset(45 min prior) if you want to catch some colors out the back windows.

    This is our third visit to Salt. The service was exceptional. The food was very good, but not worth the nearly $90 per entree, $30 per appetizer, and $25 per dessert cost. This is not about the money. There is better food available on the island for that same money. Other notes: the only parking is valet (for those not staying at the hotel) and the dress code for gentlemen (trousers and closed-toe shoes) is strictly enforced. Final thoughts: if you want the Ritz experience, this is your place. If you want the best food on the island, keep looking.

    Chef Okan Kizilbayir and his team presented one of the absolute best filet of sole that I've had the pleasure of consuming anywhere! I flew with my wife across the country to dine at Salt on Amelia Island and was treated with a flavorful menu, with a depth of ingredients that left me desiring to return to explore the rest of the menu...all I can say is thank you! Our server, David, was was wonderful, as was Sylvia, who also helped tend to our table, adding a very personable touch to the evening!

    This was my first time my boyfriend and I dined in at Salt. The experience was perfect from start to finish due to both my boyfriend and I celebrating our birthdays! Upon arrival I was greeted upon name by Diana & Phil Huber, to then I thank Diana for the sweetest touch on our evening with custom celebratory birthday menus. The Maître D, Phil had picked out a very special bottle of champagne that he sabered off, this was our first time experiencing this treatment here at a Ritz Carlton. Kudos to you Phil, you definitely played a great role in our celebration. Anthony was our server, his knowledgeable sense of the menu was very vivid and pristine, he pushed us to experience things other than what both our tastebuds had to offer. He enlivened the menu and of course with the help of the rest of the staff, suggestions from other waitstaff David, he was what encouraged me to try out the Dover Sole. The Sole was very buttery, and easy to eat as it was prepared boneless/skinless. But the caviar in the emulsion was the highlight of this dish. The first time my boyfriend had tried Wagyu, it was cooked to rich char, with a very tender cut of spinalis. He really enjoyed the recommendations from Anthony. During our dinner we were greeted by their Chef Okan Kizilbayir and also Alex their saucier who reinvented our experience with coastal culturally-driven cuisines. We had a few memorable conversations with Shanna, Cynthia & Lauren, all assisting Anthony for our experience, Job well done to really give this place a real 5 star ambience. The waitstaff was very sweet and professional and as what to be expected of a Ritz Carlton experience. I thank all of the Salt team for this special opportunity. You all have made our birthdays super special and I highly recommend everyone choose Salt for any of their celebratory festivities.
