    Jared was a delightful knowledgable server and professional. I loved the Pomegranate Sour Mocktail on the menu. It was a huge shift and served in stemware. For starters: my husband tried the octopus. He wants to know why this isn’t on more menus prepared to perfection. The oysters I had had the sweet finish described The lamb Bolognese was 12 stars from flavor to the homemade pasta. His NY strip was a perfect med rare and the preparation enhanced meat rather than drown it out. It was a quiet setting and nice to be able to hear each other. Definitely a top meal.

    We dined at Salt for Valentine's Day and enjoyed their fixed menu. The food was exceptional and the wines were paired with perfection. There was not an item on the menu that did not shine. This was not something I would do regularly, but for a special occasion, it was a great meal with great service.

    We enjoyed a fantastic dinner on Valentine’s Evening! Heather welcomed us with lots of energy, Dallas was an excellent server and the food was off the Chart! We also visited Amelia Island Wine Company prior to dining and their selection of wines was amazing and the prices were as competitive as Costco. Thank you Bar Zin!
