Our Inspector's Highlights
- Sink into luscious, expertly made main courses like wagyu with truffle hollandaise, pastrami-spiced short rib with caraway jus or butter-baked halibut.
- Get closer to the waves by taking your meal on the Seaview Terrace. Under a pergola near a wall of greenery, you’ll savor Dover sole while overlooking the ocean.
- If you want an indulgent experience, opt for the Chef’s Tasting, a five-course menu that combines the best of the à la carte offerings with some exclusive dishes, such as the lobster with bisque emulsion and the champagne-poached pear for dessert.
- The Amelia Island restaurant pays attention to the details. A tray of flavored salts accompanies your meal, and delectable sauces — a highlight of many of the dishes — are poured with flourish tableside.
- End your meal with the baklava (an homage to Kizilbayir’s Turkish roots) or the dark chocolate soufflé. Or choose from the dessert cocktails: a bananas Foster martini (Absolut 80, housemade banana liqueur, Baileys and a Biscoff cookie rim) or the vanilla chai white Russian (Absolut Vanilia, chai, honey, Kahlúa and coconut milk).
Things to Know
- The dress code at Salt is business casual. Women don dresses (colorful Lilly Pulitzer pieces are a popular choice), while men wear slacks and jackets.
- For a more relaxed option, drink or dine at the Salt Lounge. Featuring a wine display and cellar, it serves vino, cocktails and creative small plates.
- If you need a private dining room, the weather-protected Seaside Terrace accommodates up to 20 guests and the Atlantic Room holds up to 30 people for indoor/outdoor dining with its own ocean-facing terrace.
- Time your visit with the Amelia Island Cookout, an annual three-day October food festival that brings in top chefs, sommeliers, mixologists and more to Salt and the hotel.
