My husband and I have been dining at Salt for quite a few years now and have enjoyed every visit! The staff are exceedingly hospitable and attentive, and the food is always outstanding. It’s our go to place for special occasions and when we feel like stepping it up a bit. Our favorite place to eat on the island!

I was part of a group of 9 for dinner and fortunate enough to be seated outside with a view of the ocean. Ambience was unbeatable and our service was excellent. I'm looking forward to returning for a brunch.

Amazing service. Great food. You pay for what you get. I’ve been to some great restaurants in the greater Jacksonville area so there’s a lot of good competition. So far I would say this is the best among great restaurants

Dinner was nothing short of phenomenal! The noise was quiet enough to have a conversation, and the food was out of this world! I still haven’t tried a dish that I didn’t like. Absolutely coming back!
