Burlingame
As you might be able to tell by the number of top ranked restaurants in this section of Frommers.com, Amelia Island has become something of a dining destination in Florida. Many folks first came to try the food at Salt (see above), but now they’re sticking around to taste the food being created by the chefs who earned their toques by working in that kitchen. That’s the case with Chef Chad Livingston, who trained at the Culinary Institute of America before working at Salt. Now he’s putting out top quality fare—Madagascar shrimp with grits, fish with lentils in a sweet vermouth sauce, crisp composed salads of all sorts—in several rooms of an atmospheric, 1940’s home, and foodies are snapping up reservations weeks in advance. A top restaurant not just in Northeast Florida, but in the Northeast as a whole.
