Salt
Open 24/7
Start your vacation off with a delicious spread at Salt and get your evening going in a sophisticated and romantic atmosphere built up with gorgeous views of the water and masterful dish presentations. As one of Amelia Island’s best restaurants, Salt is must visit.
A dress code of collared shirts, long pants, and closed-toed shoes adds to this rich atmosphere as you dine in elegance on carefully curated selections of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Start with the Foie Gras and enjoy terrine, port fig chutney, and tarragon mignonette before sharing the lobster as a main course.
Such an extravagant meal should be paired with one of their fabulous desserts and cocktails. We recommend the Bananas Foster Martini with grey goose, house-made banana liqueur, and white chocolate Godiva.
David’s Restaurant & Lounge
Open Sunday – Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday – Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Inspired by his world travels and the area’s freshest ingredients, Davids’ Restaurant & Lounge offers an extravagant and delectable menu experience. Delivered straight to your table, enjoy Kaluga caviar, filet lobster Oscar mignon, hand-cut Chilean seabass, and caramel cheesecake.
While the attire is resort casual, and you’re free to step right in from the golf course, you’ll notice and appreciate the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of this local favorite.
In between carefully crafted courses, enjoy an extensive wine menu that guarantees the perfect drink for each of your dishes. Ask a server for their pairing recommendations or request one of their intriguing reds, such as their Larkmead Firebelle or Almaviva.
Le Clos
Open Tuesday – Saturday 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Delicious Amelia Island seafood by candlelight and attentive service — it doesn’t get much dreamier than a romantic meal at Le Clos. Beautiful presentations of food from menus created by the cuisine and pastry-trained chef and owner, these dishes emphasize local, fresh seafood catches and come with a wine selection that promises the perfect accompaniment.
Start your dining experience with sauteed shrimp before trying the seared Hudson Valley Farms duck roast. Or ask about their daily special. To finish, grab a slice of gateau au chocolat and then lounge around the table with French-pressed coffee.

No matter what you order, you’ll love pairing their splendid menu selection with one of the signature cocktails. Try the Green is the Color for a refreshing and tasty basil-infused beverage.
