Salt

Elevating the simplest ingredients into culinary masterpieces, this AAA 5 Diamond rated culinary star consistently impresses both locals and guests alike. Named for the most important ingredient in any chefs pantry, the title Salt pays homage not only to the influence it lends each dish, but also to the local seascape the destination is surrounded by. Each table is set with no less than six speciality salts hailing from exotic locations such as Hawaii, Yakima Valley, and the Himalayans. Serve staff make suggested "salt pairings" as you would wine with dishes like Key West Pink Praws presented with flare via wood fire smoke in a cloche over southern grits. Other guest favorites include Beef Tenderloin lightly seared, served with a 300 degree Himalayan salt block diners use to complete the cook on their choice cut. Salt at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island is located just thirty minutes from the Jacksonville airport.
