    Join Chef Okan and team as we explore the Daou Winery Portfolio through the Culinary lense of Salt. DAOU is dedicated to crafting Bordeaux-style wines that rival the best in the world, elevating and showcasing Paso Robles as the next frontier for ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon. When brothers Georges and Daniel Daou set forth across the globe to find an unparalleled terroir for producing Cabernet Sauvignon, they staked everything on what would become known as DAOU Mountain on the rugged coastal range of Paso Robles. They knew that they could not only produce remarkable wines from their own hidden gem estate, but from top vineyards across the region. Today, DAOU is the culmination of a lifelong dream, crafting some of California’s most noteworthy wines while creating experiences that redefine what is possible. Welcome to the world of DAOU.

              I’ve been to Salt probably 8 times over the last 12+ years and have stayed at the ritz at least that many times. The restaurant, while beautiful, is no where near as good as it used to be. It doesn’t really even feature the different salts (which is its name), like it did before and has really lost the uniqueness it used to have. Food was mostly “good” (not great), but NOT worth the money. $900 meal for 6 people. Unfortunately, we won’t be back. Too many great restaurants now on Amelia and for 1/3 the price.

              We booked this for an anniversary dinner and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like very special guests. The service (Anthony and Kaden) was outstanding, the food delicious, creative and perfectly proportioned. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.

              The food was pretty good and the service and atmosphere were both top notch. We really enjoyed our meal and the overall experience. That said, the prices were ridiculous for what we got, which took away from the value. Good spot if you don’t mind splurging.

              Hidden gem along the north Florida coast. Incredible tasting menu with the seafood really standing out. Diverse wine list. Everything was prepared to the highest standards and the friendly staff took care of whatever was needed. One of the best meals we have had in some time.

              I don't understand how this is a AAA 5 Diamond Restaurant. I was NOT impressed. I feel like it was not worth my time the experience or the money spent. I was very disappointed in the experience.First of all, they should NOT allow children/kids in this type of restaurant. Too much crying and whining to enjoy the ambience. You would think with a AAA five diamond rating, there should be some regulations for those spending a lot of money to dine in there.Secondly, i have been too many restaurants where the food quality was much better than Salt and less expensive.And the portions were bite size. for the price, i expected much more. Lastly. we felt rushed through the entire meal. from beginning to end we were there for no more than 90 minutes, which I would expect at least a two hour meal, and I never felt like they wanted us to leave more than this restaurant. For other five diamond restaurants we have been to this was definitely not up to par. I would say maybe it deserves a rating of 3 diamond at a minimum. I have no idea where the five diamond rating came from. We never done here again nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

              Impeccable service and the food was overall presented beautiful and nicely prepared. It was our party’s consensus, however, that one of the main dishes, the butter baked halibut, was really lacking in seasoning and flavor. I guess we were expecting a mouthwatering burst of savory goodness but despite its well-cooked texture, it was just unsalted butteryness. The lobster was also just slightly rubbery and not melt-in-the-moth tender, but the dish was still delicious. All agreed that the first course of tuna tartare was the highlight of the meal: fresh, bright, and flavorsome. The stuffed poached pear for dessert was just okay; subtle and delicately pleasing but not something we’d order again. The wagyu course was perfect: tender cut paired with the amazing flavors of the radish and mushroom accompaniments. The servers, led by Olga, were wonderfully attentive, personable, and knowledgeable about the dishes. It was overall a nice fine dining experience.
