Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Fernandina Beach

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Jax Beach/Ponte Vedra area. Such a pretty dining room! So warm and cozy!! The food is on point and the service is wonderful! Can't wait to go back!!

Every dish was phenomenal but the highlight was the octopus app and the Porchetta. Both very rich but decadent. The Duck croquettes were also tasty and well balanced. Waiter “Dylan” was very Proffesional and personal. We’ll be coming back.

Maryann was amazing. She made us feel so comfortable and her recommendations were on point. First time but won’t be our last. Ribeye and filet were awsome. Crème brûlée and crème brûlée bread pudding was delish and we don’t like bread pudding. Thanks for a great evening.

Our server, Drew was awesome! The food was amazing. NY Strip, Steak Frites and Pork Shank with grits were enjoyed by all! Appetizer was outstanding as were cocktails. Always a favorite! Thank you, Lagniappe team for all you do!

Made the reservation on OpenTable effortlessly for a Tuesday evening. The staff called the weekend before, asking me three questions: Was I staying at the Ritz-Carlton? Did we have any food allergies? Was it a special occasion? I answered them all and mentioned I intended to get engaged earlier in the day. Earlier on Tuesday, before our arrival, Carilyn Powers (Director of Restaurants at the Ritz-Carlton) emailed and texted me making sure there were no additional ways they could make our dinner experience better. Our menus were personalized with a Congratulations printed on the first page. The restaurant is upscale with a clean, modern vibe. There is a lounge area with a fireplace with seating and a bar. You pass thru the lounge area to the tables for the dinner. Our table looked out over the beach and ocean. Matthew, our waiter, was experienced and incredibly helpful. He asked for our drink order and suggested champagne. He led us outside where he performed the traditional sabering of the champagne. Salt has a wide variety os salts to try, hence the name of the restaurant. Were given three salts to use on our warm, buttered bread. It was fantastic. All appetizers, dinner options and desserts were explained very thoroughly. We had PEI oysters and the tuna tartar which were excellent. We had the pastrami and halibut main courses which were equally as good. They provided a complimentary dessert tray due to our special occasion. Also, they asked which salt we enjoyed the most and provided us a small sample to use at home. After dinner we moved over to the fireplace for an after dinner drink. It was the little elements performed which stood out. The constant attention to our needs but they did not hover. Simple things like how water was poured, replacement of utensils/plates after a course, pushing in our chairs when sitting down and replacing napkins when leaving the table. Suit and tie for the waiter which was nice to see.
