Salt

Salt is the restaurant inside the Hilton Pensacola Beach, and it’s worth a visit even if you’re not staying there. It opened in May 2023 with a coastal Mediterranean menu built around fresh Gulf seafood, and the room, with pecky cypress and local art, feels more beach house than hotel.

On the menu

• Dips: hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki and baked feta to share.
• Chesapeake blue crab cakes, arroz a la marinera and seafood linguine
• The Salt burger, made with 1855 Black Angus beef
• Breakfast: a buffet with an omelet station.

Good to know

• Hours: breakfast 7 to 11 a.m., lunch and dinner 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., weekend brunch 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The bar is open until 11 p.m.

The same owner, Innisfree Hotels, runs Fish Heads next door.
