    I have been to Salt Life now several times and make it a point to try something new each time. I am yet to be disappointed. The menu has a great variety for all and the service is above par.

    I have had 85% of the menu items here and all are delicious. A couple of my favorite dishes are the Rainforest Shack Fish ( the black bean orzo is delish) and the Thai Chicken Bowl. When I'm in the mood for a salad, I love the Ahi Tuna or the Shrimp Taco salad. This place is great for family and friends gatherings or a hot date! :)

    Our experience was wonderful, we have tried most every sea food restaurant around St Augustine and this is the best. The oysters are the best around as were the fried shrimp. My wife and I ate there 2 more times in our 5 day stay. Can't wait till Oct of 15 to come back.

    My experience was top shelf! From service to meal and especially atmosphere. Our server was quick and attentive. The fried shrimp were fresh and the deck and atmosphere was relaxed and fun. When I have guests. I know where to go.
