The 36 best spots for happy hour in Amelia Island

My wife and I enjoyed the food that we ordered. We got the chicken wings with mild sauce. The best wings we had in awhile. Of course, the onion rings were great and homemade. Also, the shrimp poboy. The shrimp was so fresh that I could taste the salt from the ocean on it. The Cuban sandwich with bacon jam was so good. I can't wait to go back. The ambiance and the atmosphere of the Salty Pelican is delightful.

This is a very fun restaurant with Key West vibes. We were seated on the lower level and immediately greeted by our waiter. All the food was fresh and tasty. I had the fried oyster and shrimp platter with vegetables- it was very good. My wife had the shrimp tacos and liked them very much. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but it was Friday night so that may have been a part of that. It is free, however.

Not sure why I’ve never checked this place out being that I don’t live far at all, but we finally decided to check it out and it was AMAZING. The food was so good, and our waitress Reeze absolutely deserves to be recognized! She was so nice, and attentive. We ordered fried green tomatoes (fried to perfection) and Philly Egg Rolls (sooo good) for our appetizers. For our meals, my wife ordered the Lobster Roll, our son got the cheeseburger with Mac and cheese, and I ordered steak with shrimp. It was all so good! They were busy (but it is tourist season) however our wait wasn’t too awful long. The inside of the restaurant was clean. We will 100% be back.

Enjoyed the Thursday special of 'Prime Rib Night' with my Mom while visiting the island. The potatoes pair really nicely with the juicy prime rib. The drinks were also very good and made with fresh berries, mint, and lime. All of the waitresses/waiters were attentive and friendly. We sat in the outdoor eating area and enjoyed the view of the water. Inside was a bit hard to hear because it was quite lively, so if you prefer to have a more low-key experience, I would recommend sitting outside

We had the best dinner here while watching the sunset directly in front of us. Sitting upstairs was key for this experience. Large portions so consider sharing. We all had different fish and it was sooo good.

10/10 experience! 1:30 pm on a Sunday and only a 10 minute wait, very prompt service and they do text conformations so you know you’re in line and when your table is ready. Service was great and the server was knowledgeable on the food, catch of the day was red drum and it was amazing! Appetizer of choice was Brussel Sprouts - perfect!!! Drinks were a great price and food came out quickly even though the place was packed. We will be back soon!!

Beautiful place for sunset views! If available, sit upstairs, clear view of the marina and west. As expected/required, excellent seafood options, particularly the crab cakes.

Visited the Palace Saloon, known as the oldest bar in Florida, and while the historic, woody atmosphere and live music were definitely charming, the experience didn’t live up to the hype. We sat at the bar and asked the bartender for their signature cocktail — hoping to try the best of what they offer. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing and overpriced. It lacked flavor and balance, especially for a place with so much history and reputation. Cool vibe and worth a quick look if you’re into history, but we won’t be coming back. There are better spots on the island for cocktails and overall experience.

Drinks ok, service ok, place was lively and fun! There are three rooms you can maze through both with their own vibe. The live music is fun and they have Pool tables etc. Cool place! I like it. Fun place to hang out with a group of friends.

Love this place, we came in for drinks on a weekend during a car show. Great location! Leslie was phenomenal. Super quick service, she obviously loves her job! She is a keeper and definitely deserves a raise. Don’t let this gem go. We will definitely be back.

Fun little place with a cool atmosphere and live music that seems to be the place in downtown Fernandina that stays open latest. I'd say it's divey in the sense that it's not pretentious, but the decor is very unique and historic, not "divey" in that sense at all.

Stopped by for a drink with friends. They had live music, great atmosphere the bartender that was working named Leslie was fantastic. Very attentive thanks for the quick service Leslie! We will definitely come back great service because bar tenders like you are worth their weight in gold!

Love coming here. In laws moved here. Leslie has been amazing. Always so wonderful to get to spend some time with her! It’s a wonderful bar. Great music and amazing customers. Leslie pours a great Guinness!!!!!!

I have to admit. I meant to leave this Google Review in 1992 but I got busy and forgot. I'm only delayed by THIRTY THREE YEARS! :-) Better late than never right??? It was a Tuesday morning in the fall 1992. 3rd Section was assuming the guard for the ship in Kings Bay and there were no “movements” scheduled, so us 2nd Section slackers had a couple days off. George xxxxxx looks at me and says, “Hey - let’s get some of the guys and do a little “bar hopping campaign” in Fernandina Beach tonight.” Get it? Instead of island hopping campaign… 🤣 Anywho… I respond, “Sure but we have all hands MARDET PT tomorrow morning so I don’t wanna be out late. Famous last words! Turns out the FOURTH establishment of the evening… THE PALACE SALOON in downtown Fernandina… was the charm. Several old retired jarheads we met there were keeping us well hydrated at their expense. We had done some of our best DURAN DURAN and U2 karaoke performances to please the patrons. The only survivors of our initial group were me, George, and Chris xxxxxx. Sometime WAY AFTER the place would normally have closed… I think those old retired jarheads and some other occupants of the building were funding them keeping the doors open a little longer for us 🤣… we decided the time for a tactical regroup had arrived. I made the phone call. It was raining and a WELL PREGNANT Mrs Richard Davis made the early morning 45 minute drive to retrieve us. 😬 FREAKIN NAVY WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. Can’t ever find a taxi when you need one. We made it to the Wednesday all hands MARDET PT session… a softball game… with PLENTY of minutes to spare. Get there and it turns out EVERYBODY had enjoyed that random previous Tuesday evening. When Capt Christopher xxxx of Shreveport LA gave up his previous evening’s meal in center field, he gave Gunnery Sgt Cleocie xxxx of Milledgeville GA a wave and called the game a draw. WHY DOES ANY OF THIS RESURFACE ON A RANDOM FALL WEDNESDAY IN 2025 YOU ASK?? Last night… my son… a midshipman in the JAX area..: sent me a text with a pic. He said they were out roaming around downtown Fernandina… in the background of the pic… THE FREAKIN PALACE SALOON!!! 😂😂😂 I wonder if anyone there still remembers a random Tuesday night in the fall of 1992? 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 SEMPER FI and Happy 250th FREAKIN BIRTHDAY Jarheads!!!

Last minute plans for dinner with my son. Ordered the fish & chips plus the chicken tender kids' meal. I didn't care for the fries, but the fish with the tartar sauce is good once you get past the breading portion. Also, I did not care for the taste of the alcohol drinks I ordered. Tried the French 318 wasn't something I'll get again, so I ordered a strawberry margarita, I didn't like the alcohol used. Anyhow, it was nice to try a place in town and have a dinner date with my son.

I’m rounding down due to issues with entrees but feel it’s 3.5. Originally got Mahi Fish tacos, it was basically fish jerky. Informed our waitress, Jessica, and she corrected it even taking the plate back to the chef. She was appalled that it was served. Jessica was very attentive and corrected the issue with the tacos without missing a beat. It’s probably the only thing in my life I’ve sent back. The replacement tasted good. The Cuban was a bit dry, Ok flavor, Felt muted a bit. The kids chicken tender basket was actually the best thing. Chicken was moist, hot, juicy, flavorful. Even the fries were crispy and nicely salted. I really enjoyed the coleslaw. They need to mix in some red cabbage or onion to give it some color. Looks bland and basic but tastes like a house made sauce. Cucumber salad was Cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, onions in an Italian or vinaigrette sauce. The sauce looked thick but was light on the tongue and was enjoyable. Service was great, good beer selection, no hazy’s. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. Great atmosphere and location. Just some issues with entrees. I’d give it another shot.

Food and beer was great, service was even better. We ordered two appetizers and two entrées and it all came out at the same time. The manager came over and comped the appetizers for us, which was very nice. everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. The waitress was very knowledgeable on the beer selection. 10/10 would recommend stopping by on your next trip to Amelia Island. We got the pretzel, shrimp and corn chowder, Buffalo cauliflower and Italian beef sandwich. All was delicious!!

Stopped in just to grab a snack and sample a flight. Mushroom toastie was delicious, and so was the beer, which you could tell was crafted with a lot of love and care. Very unique and ambitious brews. I would certainly consider coming back here for a full meal next time I find myself in Fernandina Beach.

Great space, good beer & food. Had the amber & a Cuban sandwich with cucumber salad. Highly recommend!

We visited The Tavern recently for a quick bite. Our server was a little delayed in getting to us but she was very nice and there was no delayed with service after the initial order. We tried the wings and the Truffle Tots as we were just looking for something quick. I also tried the Canary Cross Amber brew; very good! The outdoor seating was nice as the weather was sunny and cooler. Would definitely visit this location again for a full meal.

Good tavern foods work very generous serving sizes. I especially enjoyed the chowder and the cocoberry smash cocktail. Service was very fast and friendly

We've eaten here several times since moving to the area. It was recommended by a local while walking on the beach. The food is delicious. The ladies and staff are super sweet. We love eating outside. If we want lunch we have learned to come in around 11a. They take your name and invite you to a drink while you wait. For those who are complaining, this is island time. Chill out. Relax and slow down. This isn't the drive thru at a fast food joint. This is our go to. Today, the fish sandwich was delish as well as the salad with grilled Mahi. Hubby had the hot dogs. We've also had breakfast and equally delicious. Try it out.

Repurposed gas station that makes some of the best black eyed peas I have ever eaten (and I have lived all over the south). Many places don’t know how to make good collards. OMG delicious here! I don’t know where to start with the fried chicken. You get a choice between white or dark meat. I prefer dark because it’s more flavorful and usually moist. Home run at T-Rays! The rest of the table had white and all enjoyed it. The broccoli salad was perfect as was the slaw. Small container but definitely delicious. I almost forgot the delicious biscuits!!! Recommend this place to everyone. Don’t let the exterior put you off. The dive exterior belays the Gastro delight inside. I want to go back and try the shrimp. I overheard a client talking about the delicious hush puppies.

Great service, delicious burger. Sweet tea was good too. Line was long when I walked in but I didn't wait more than 7 minutes or so. My food was brought to my table in 10 minutes you

This is by far the best place to get a hamburger, as well as fried clams, and many other specials. We always enjoy going there. They have outdoor seating, which is great. If you have a puppy dog. The lines can get long, so you can always order ahead.

Googled places to eat in Fernadina Beach, and this one came up. The concept of it being an old gas station appealed to us, so we stopped. We were not disappointed. Old station with picnic tables outside. I thought parking was going to be an issue, but it wasn't. Yes, as we entered, we saw the long line, but as others have stated, it goes quick. You could tell there were many locals there, so that's always a good sign. The food was really good and at reasonable prices. I saw food on plates that I didn't see on the menu, so it looks like I missed looking at the daily specials. Overall, nice little spot. Would definitely stop again, when in the area, to try different menu items.

I went to this restaurant over 10 years ago and was wondering if it was still open. We still talk about this place. This was the best burger I've ever eaten and it's yet to be topped. Not surprised to see that it's still open. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a burger.

Very good! This place is so cute and I love how they made the food business out of a old gas station! The kids meal is a pretty good price for only 6$. We got chicken tenders, fries, and a drink on the kids meal. Then, I got the little T burger combo which was a normal size burger and I was very surprised. It was 3$ less than the other bigger burger and it had 2 burger patties. Overall, this place was very creative and delicious! I recommend this place for people who are traveling and want to grab some sit down food that you will enjoy.

This restaurant is a casual and cozy spot with great lunch and dinner entrees, including a great cocktail list, appetizers and desserts. We arrived between 3 and 6PM, when most appetizers, wines and beers are half price. A must to try is their drunken cheesy bread and tomato bisque soup. Our grouper sandwiches ( blackened) were large and tasty while the crab cakes had plenty of crab and little breading. The berry and beet salads were top notch. This is a popular spot in Amelia Island so don't pass it up when in town.

My husband and I came here based on reviews, and were very happy we did. We arrived just before opening at 11am, and were seated promptly. Our waitress (Kim) immediately gave us her recommendations and we chose one, the CBR flatbread. I was going to choose something else but went with it, and Im so glad I did, becuase it was so delicious. It wasnt greasy and had so much flavor. My husband chose the French Dip, and he was very pleased with his choice. The meatball sharables were very good as well, and again so much flavor! We will definitely be coming back to try the dinner menu! We were very much satisfied with our food, and service!

We will not be back. We had the most confusing experience at this restaurant. Our waitress got our check wrong 4 times. She didn’t know the specials or the prices. When asked if the pesto had tree nuts in it she replied with “no real nuts”. Someone dumped dog water in a plant behind my father and it splashed on him. The crab cakes were subpar at best. The roll with the chicken salad was hard and stale. The meatball sandwich was the only decent meal there. We saw pizza boxes going out constantly with no pizza on the menu. A ladies dog obnoxiously barked at the table next to us for 10 minutes. It was not great.

My husband and I decided to have lunch here based on the online reviews and were so glad that we did! I got the wedge and it was huge with way more toppings than your usual wedge but absolutely delicious! My husband got the garlic muscles and loved them! We sat outside by request and the outdoor area has lots of shade. Would definitely go back!

Top tier choice on Amelia Island. Absolutely lovely outdoor seating (it’s in the name), relaxed & welcoming vibe. Food was terrific, servers couldn’t have been more hospitable. Waits for a table can be long, but it’s popular for good reason.

This place was absolutely amazing, my husband and I went out with some friends to catch up. For a party of 6 on a Saturday night we only waited about 35 minutes for our table. Service was phenomenal and the food was so yummy. I ordered the reddish and my husband got the pork chop. We will definitely be back!

It was still warm outdoors, yet we had dinner with out Black Lab laying down beside us. Had the Cheesy Bread, wife had the Delmonico with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli. I had the Blackened Redfish over Cheese Grits and a Cajun Sauce. Excellent service and fantastic food.

We’ve been coming to the lobby bar for sushi inside the Ritz-Carlton at Amelia Island for the past four years, visiting around the same time each year. Unfortunately, this visit left us deeply disappointed. The quality has noticeably declined compared to previous years. The rice-to-fish ratio in the rolls was off, with far too much rice overwhelming the fish. Additionally, the texture of the rice was mush, rather than sticky rice. The shrimp was overly chewy and lacked the fresh, tender texture we’ve come to expect from a high-end establishment like this. The bao buns were dry and we had to request additional honey hoisin sauce. The drinks and service were average—not bad, but nothing special either, which was surprising given the Ritz-Carlton’s usual standards. On a positive note, the tuna was fresh and flavorful, but it was one of the few highlights of the meal. It’s disappointing to see such a drop in standards, especially at a place we’ve consistently loved. We truly hope they address these issues, as this was far from the exceptional experience we’ve come to associate with the Ritz-Carlton brand.

I have always heard that The Lobby Bar has the best sushi in town. So when my mom and I had a spa day on Mother’s Day, I decided to stop in and finally try some sushi. Firstly, we were given some excellent complimentary snacks of mixed Japanese-inspired snacks, pretzels, and nuts, cheese crisps, and mixed olives and gherkins. We ordered Fernandina Roll, Creamy Crab Roll, and Sashimi Platter. I don’t mind paying top dollars for excellent food, but the sushi was pretty average. The sashimi, on the other hand, tasted pretty clean and fresh. My favorite amongst them was the Hamachi, which was rich, fatty, silky, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I can probably eat a whole platter of those! I wanted to love this place, but there are so many others to try. Loved the servers’ friendliness and attentiveness!

Needed a night cap while staying at The Ritz Carlton Amelia Island and didn’t feel like going off property at 10 PM. The Lobby Bar was the perfect spot for a late night drink with a relaxed ambiance and great service. I had the Luxardo Margarita and it was an excellent choice. The drink was flavorful and strong and I’d highly recommend it. During my next visit I’ll come hungry to give feedback on the food selection.

We always come for the sushi at the Lobby bar , hubby’s fave if the nigiri platter and I come for the Fernandina roll or the Amelia roll. This is the local favorite. Locally sourced and fresh always . The atmosphere is very relaxing as it is facing the ocean. They have live music playing in the evenings. Our server Jamie is the best . We come for her I should say because she is very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu, very accurate in taking orders and efficient in delivering our meal . I would ask for her . The manager Kristina is the best ! She stays busy making sure all the guests are in their best comfort and orders are on point . She is very friendly as well and makes you feel right at home . Ambience is amazing from sunrise to sunset as the bar is oceanfront .

Upscale bar inside the Lobby of the prestigious Ritz Carlton Amelia Island! Prices are elevated to Ritz Carlton level prices but the service, food, and atmosphere are elevated as well. From the beautifully elegant lobby, the super friendly service, the amazing drinks, and good sushi...this is an excellent place to start your vacation at the Ritz or meet friends and enjoy some sushi and drinks. Every time we visit family and friends staying at the Ritz or visit friends at Carlton Dunes, it's always nice to just walk over, grab some drinks and sushi and relax in the upscale casual atmosphere!

Friday happy hour at bar and lobby with wonderful, professional and friendly staff. Great drinks & tasty apps. Will be back!

All around exactly what you expect from the Ritz. Some of the best sushi I’ve eaten. Kevin and his staff are amazing. The bartenders, Jill, Sigrid, Cody, Gena, and Julie are all great!

Fun live music (unluckily stopped as soon as we sat down) cute fun details throughout the bar. Fun place to meet new people if you’re talkative.

Great music and staff, quintessential Fernadina Beach good times.

Came here on a Friday night. Prices are reasonable, $4 for a Coors Light and there were 3 other beers available for $3. There's limited bar seating, only 2 seats total, which is strange however there is plenty of outdoor seating at picnic tables and such so on a nice night seating isnt an issue. Bathrooms are unisex, there are at least 3, 2 of which are outside. Staff was generally friendly although 1 bartender didn't like to give customers back their change. Overall, preferred this to Palace Saloon.

Great place to hang out with friends and local people. Chill atmosphere and decent beer selection. Good prices

Great drinks, and great music and bartenders very friendly. Did not eat here

Fun place to hang out and listen to live music in the evening. People really filled the outside patio, dancing and drinking. Lots of energy. Not a lot of seating so most of the time we were standing. Wasn't a problem for us but could be for you, if you can't stand a long time. They do have some picnic tables so come a little early to grab one. The band was really great, and the people were friendly. It is hard to miss because the house/business is painted a dark green! 😁 They serve food and drinks, but we had already eaten so we didn't order anything. Good Vibes!!

This place was so much fun! Great bartenders and amazing service! Also live bands which were fabulous. We will be back on our next visit to the island!

We are for the first time here for my birthday dinner out of town from Ocala. Michael was our server who’s worked there for 12 years. His service was exceptional! He was so knowledgeable and down to earth. We truly enjoyed him he completed the entire España experience!!!! We will come back just to enjoy this and him again!! You must try this wonderful gem!

This is the ONLY MUST on Amelia Island. Everything we had was impeccable. The Portuguese Fisherman's Stew is heavenly. The Tapas are excellent. The service, the best we have experienced on the island. The price is reasonable for a vacation spot and the price is fantastic for the quality of food. The presentation is also exemplary as is evidenced in the pictures. If you are on Amelia Island and do not come here, you have missed one of, if not the best restaurant on the island.

Great variety of food ( see menu) . We had some tapas and the Paella Marinera. Better than the paella we had in Lisbon on a food tour!! Perfect portion for two. Everything was fresh and service was timely. The restaurant seems to go out of their way to accommodate special food requests . ( overheard at nearby table) q Our waiter Eddie was delightful and did not over sell or rush us . Lovely indoor and outdoor seating. We made reservations day of on a holiday weekend but for 4pm. Great mid day meal!

Such amazing service our waiter Eddie was so friendly and had a great personality and his recommendations were superb. The food was amazing you can tell the chef has passion and everything was freshly made. The outdoor patio area was perfect and welcoming such a wonderful way to end a beautiful Saturday.

We had the pleasure of having dinner here and it was amazing! Michael was our server and he was so nice and attentive, the food was amazing. Visiting from Georgia and Texas for our yearly family reunion and Georgia vs Florida game. Thank you for a wonderful evening and highly recommend them, Go Dawgs!

First, be patient for parking, parking is a premium in all of downtown. Our servers were Ashley our waitresses and Casey who was part of the bus staff. Drinks were always full and clean plates cleared without being requested. I know some restaurants reward their employees when they get mentioned in a review and I hope Espaná does and if not, maybe they should consider it. Ambiance was nice, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside as we had been out in the sun all day and wanted a cool place to sit. But you want to know about the food: Wine/beer/drinks - wine, beer, soft drinks, teas and house made Sangria. Scallops Ole - my favorite fish of the night, Panko covered scallops in a phenomenal sauce. Order bread with it do you can get all of the sauce. They cut the scallops in half, so you only get two full scallops and four total bites. Ceviche - fantastic, my wife’s favorite of the night. Stew - hmm, filled with clams, mussels, octopus, shrimp and a host of veggies. Loved the ingredients but it was very salty, not so salty you cannot eat it, but on the verge. Probably would not order this dish again. No room for dessert. Again wonderful service, great wine and beer menu, and the food is incredible.

First time dining here with our friends who eat here frequently and I must say it was amazing!! The food was good but Omar made the experience even better! Good service is hard to find and he was exceptional!

I frequent like 2-4 times a week, and since Anthony has taken over as management has been a huge improvement. My husband and I know all ten servers and hosts by name and it's always consistently great. Manny, Cesar, Sebastian, Claudia, Heidy, Savannah, Martin and now newer Lacey (who was just as amazing as the others) and Allison and Julie make this our "go to". Just wanted you to know what a great crew that is there. Keep it up yall!! "See ya tomorrow!" - Heidi and Allen

The first 3 times here the food was mediocre at best. Service was always fantastic! Da Manny was an excellent server. I wasn’t going to return, but decided to give it one more chance as I live nearby. I finally got a good meal. The frozen marg was delicious too.

We showed up to PePper’s the evening of Cinco De Mayo. And let me tell you the entertainment was in full swing and fantastic!! People were dancing, laughing, and everyone of all ages were having a great time!! But no matter what day you go on Pepper’s Cocina is ALWAYS a HIT!!! Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. And Great entertainment!! My family and I will be back soon!!

Delicious flavorful pork, guacamole on salad greens with jalapeños, amazing refried beans and Spanish rice. Unlike Mezcal, the refried beans were NOT SOUPY. Great job! The enchilada verde was moist and flavorful as was the chimichanga. The salad greens were fresh. Home run with the delicious, hot chips and two types of salsa. The one was typical salsa, the other had a very nice smoky spicy taste. We added hot cheese dip which was one of the best I’ve had recently. If you want Mexican food, Pepper’s is the only option in my opinion.

This was a great spot for a lovely lunch. We sat on their very large and beautiful patio. It was nice to be a bit raised from the sidewalk so we could watch the Fernandina shoppers and visitors but not be on the actual sidewalk. We ordered some delicious drinks and the appetizer that they actually light aflame. My kids enjoyed the theatrics and all of the food! We got burritos and the portions were generous and the food was tasty. I would said it is a bit more elevated than your traditional Mexican food, so the prices seem reasonable for the food. This is probably one of the nicest patios in the neighborhood!

I've eaten here a dozen times and it's always been pretty good. The other day we were there and I ordered ground beef taco salad. I've had it before and wanted it again. This time it was way too much beef, a ton of cheese and queso and a pinch of lettuce and like no tomato. Pretty disappointed. I almost never leave a review unless it's a positive one but I thought I should so get back up to game. Always enjoyed it before and I hope they get the salad back to the delish one they used to offer. It used to be good

Great food and even better atmosphere. Taj was our bartender and he was fantastic. Enjoyed the vibe. Nice place to get some drinks and chips and salsa if you like.

We had an amazing experience celebrating our wedding anniversary at David's Restaurant & Lounge! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel special from the moment we arrived. They followed our dietary guidelines perfectly, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. We highly recommend trying the scallops; they were a highlight of the meal! Overall, a wonderful evening and we’ll definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We went for happy hour. Cocktails were phenomenal. The Amelia Martini was the favorite of the table. We ordered the ceviche of the day (tuna), two salads, risotto, and oxtail pappardelle. This was a great experience for a discounted happy hour price - will be back.

Had a wonderful experience celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary last evening. The food was delicious, the service was efficient, and the atmosphere was very well done. We had the ceviche (wish the portion was larger), gnocchi with an oxtail ragu, and dover sole (it was butter). Javier in the bar was very friendly and professional. All in all, it could not have been much better.

The atmosphere at David’s was warm, private, and romantic — the perfect setting for our first anniversary dinner. The softly lit dining room created an intimate, elegant feel, while still being relaxed enough to make the evening feel personal and comfortable. If meals are served in heaven, the Chilean sea bass at David’s Restaurant will definitely be on the menu. The presentation alone was stunning — a perfectly seared filet with a golden caramelized glaze. The first bite revealed a crisp, delicate exterior that gave way to buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Paired with silky truffle Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, vibrant grilled asparagus, and a bright, velvety lemon beurre blanc, every component on the plate worked together in perfect harmony. Once that perfect blend of flavors hits your palate, you find yourself wanting it to linger for as long as possible. The filet mignon was equally remarkable. Served with a rich, earthy risotto, the tenderloin was cooked flawlessly — perfectly seared on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The creamy risotto soaked up the flavor of the meat and sauce, creating a decadent, luxurious bite every time. The plating was as elegant as the taste — a picture-perfect dish that was almost too beautiful to eat. The staff was amazing and to make the evening even more special, David — the chef and owner — personally stepped out of the kitchen to congratulate us on our anniversary. That warm, thoughtful gesture turned an already exceptional dining experience into a truly unforgettable memory. If you are looking for an intimate, elevated dining experience with extraordinary flavors and heartfelt service, David’s is a must-visit. We will absolutely be back.

David’s is one of the nicer, fine dining locations in Fernandina Beach. If you are vacationing on the South End of the island, David’s is worth the drive into town for a farewell vacation dinner or special night out. Our table was fortunate to order a menu special, and be served by chef David Echeverri in-person. You can tell the love and passion chef Echeverri puts into his dishes. The table was also served with a delicious, hand-crafted amuse-bouche. The cocktails were well-crafted and you could tell the passion the bartender put into his drinks. Be forewarned, however, David’s trends on the pricer side, but if you are looking for a lovely date night or private party location (David’s has some intimate private party rooms) David’s is the worth the trip, no matter where you are on the island. I would recommend reservations as it can fill-up quite quickly.

David’s is an oasis of refined elegance, where every dish feels like a culinary masterpiece. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by crisp white linens and a sense of anticipation for what’s to come. We kicked off our journey with the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu Beef Carpaccio and the perfectly charred Grilled Octopus, both of which set the bar high. Paired with Caesar salads that had just the right amount of tang and freshly baked breads, it was clear that attention to detail is at the heart of this kitchen. For the main event, one of us chose the luxurious King Crab special, while the rest of us dove into the decadent Filet Oscar—each bite more satisfying than the last. We wrapped up this unforgettable meal with velvety Creme Brûlée and smooth lattes, a sweet finish to a perfect evening. Every dish felt like it was crafted with a creative touch and a sense of culinary adventure. David’s isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor.

Great service and great food! King crab is not on the menu, but when we asked the waitress she then asked the chef and came back with a positive answer! Good that we asked, it was great!

Date: May 2025 Note: a bit upscale, so prices are high and portions are on the smaller end. Reservations are highly encouraged and there isn't a dedicated parking lot (typical for the area) 10/10! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was wonderful. Every member you walked by greeted you with a smile. Very unique flavors combined on every plate we ordered. Even the vegetarian option had a variety of flavors that somehow didn't override one another. The location is beautiful, and the outdoor seating was surprisingly bareable for Florida in a 90°F+ day. The food is on the more expensive side and the portions are a bit small in comparison to your less expensive restaurants, but the portions don't leave you hungry as they are portioned to what you should eat, you're just unlikely to have leftovers.

Our evrning at Burlingame was nothing short of AMAZING!! Michelin Star quality start to finish! A true adventure for even the most discerning of palates! Every selection was artfully presented and surprised you with flavors and textures that blended together to deliver joy with every bite. It was a foodie's paradise! The staff is delightful and works together like a well oiled machine to ensure the ultimate dining experience. They're friendly, attentive, knowledgeable of the menu options. and make you feel like a valued guest from arrival to departure. The ambiance is perfect as well. Many thanks to Tanner for getting us in to celebrate our son's birthday and to Jillian for her outstanding service! If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Burlingame is an absolute must! How very fortunate we are to have one of the finest of restaurants in Fernandina Beach!!

Fantastic is an understatement. My wife and I have dined here several times and the food has always been stellar. We recently went to another high end Amelia restaurant and quickly realized we should have booked our New Year’s Eve dinner at burlingame. The food, service and atmosphere is always spot on. So much so, that we booked them for our wedding reception on 12.20.24. We cannot wait to return and enjoy their amazing creations.

Wonderful in every category. Was very surprised that the cost was not bad and the food was delicious. Would definitely go back because the menu changes with the seasons.

In one word, incredible. Just an amazing experience all around. The food was so great, we came back the following night as we didn’t think it would be possible to find anywhere else that would be as good. We didn’t have a reservation the second night but stopped in on the off chance that there had been a cancellation. The hostess was amazing and offered to take my number then call me when someone left the bar area. As promised, she called me 25 minutes later and we were seated. The servers are knowledgeable and the food is excellent. Fresh, clean ingredients with deep flavors. If you’re in the area, I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

This place was amazing. We had muscles and Brussel sprouts for appetizers and both were excellent. For the main course, we had shrimp and grits and the lamb pasta dish...both were amazing. I also loved the Float on mixed drink and it was awesome. Overall, this was the best dinner we have had in a long time. Great service and atmosphere. We will be back.

Absolutely fantastic! Husband and I finally went after living here almost 2 years and it exceeded all expectations. The food was phenomenal, our server was great, and the vibe was perfect. I can’t wait to go back for another dinner!!

We stopped in for lunch and were for the most part very pleased. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The owner even took the time to ask us if we were enjoying ourselves. My husband ordered the burger that was typical for this type of restaurant. He was asked how he would like it cooked and medium was his answer. It was definitely well done and a little dry. The mayo and mustard packets were placed on top of the open faced burger which turned us off a little thinking about how many hands had touched those packets prior. I ordered the sesame crusted tuna salad. The portion was of good size. The tuna should have been seared longer as there was no white showing at all. The tuna was also sliced very thick. I would have been happy with half the tuna that was provided sliced a lot thinner. The garlic parmesan oysters were phenomenal!!

Shuckers is a must-try! We visited on a Saturday night around 6:30, and while parking was a bit of a challenge on the side road, it was understandable given the time. We were seated outside immediately with live music, which created a great vibe. For our meals, my dad and I both got the combo. I opted for blackened oysters, fish nuggets, and shrimp, while he had the fried version. Everything was amazing, but the blackened oysters were the standout – even better than the fried! It's a shame you can only choose one style for the combo, as I would have loved a mix. Our sides included mac n cheese, sweet potato fries, cheese grits, and coleslaw. All were tasty, though my dad noted that the coleslaw was on the sweeter side, which might not be for everyone. Other members of our party enjoyed the fried shrimp, catch of the day (flounder) sandwich, apple feta salad, and gumbo, and everyone seemed very satisfied. The only downside was a bit of a wait for silverware (around 5 minutes), which meant our food started to cool down slightly. However, our server was clearly very busy and seemed to be working without much help, so it wasn't his fault. Overall, the delicious food and lively atmosphere more than made up for the minor issue. We'll definitely be back!

This was our first time eating here and I guess we made it in before the lunch crowd. At 11:30 am the parking lot was so empty we thought they were closed, by the time we came out at 12:30, the place was packed. Nice clean place with a beautiful view if you sit outside and friendly staff. Who we assumed to be the owner was in attendance and as he made his way through the now crowded restaurant he stopped at almost every table to ask if they were enjoying themselves which was a nice touch. Our issues with the food were minor. Condiment packets placed on top of my open faced burger and her seared tuna salad was a bit under seared and the slices were very thick. Other than those things, this was a nice place to stop for lunch and we will probably stop back again.

We loved it here! The views are incredible, there was even live music. Our server was Julieta, and she was fantastic and so friendly and helpful. Very attentive and checked in often. We got raw oysters, crab legs, peel and eat shrimp, hush puppies, mashed potatoes, fried okra and key lime pie. Every single thing we ate tasted amazing. I love oysters, but these ones were certainly the best. Generally, I do not like shrimp, but I tried these and I have changed my mind. We almost ordered more! I’m not for sure, but all around the restaurant there are oyster beds. I’d assume that’s where they harvest, which is pretty cool.

Very good food, good service & beautiful view. Manager came out & visited, told us about different items on & off the menu. Grouper sandwich was so good! Fireputs overlooking the water, children's play area.

For the seafood lovers of the region who want a relaxing and delicious meal you simply need to make time to enjoy Shuckers! My travels led me to the area and I had always wanted to visit but this time I did. The first contact was with a beautiful lady who greeted me with a smile and allowed me to pick a seat. I chose outside in the shade with an amazing view of the water. It was low tide so you could see the oyster beds. It’s gorgeous here. Then Rob began by welcoming me to his place and telling me of the special of the day but as great as it sounded, I had OYSTER on my mind. Lol. He quickly brought me to the pinochle of my journey with a dozen raw chilled fresh large oysters 🦪. Followed by a Mango Daiquiri. Awesome! As I was leaving town I unfortunately couldn’t really get out of hand with the food so I ordered the Poke bowl and two dozen to go. I was the Hero when I got home and my wife who loves oysters like me enjoyed the treasures from the sea. She’s also part mermaid 🧜‍♀️ so I had that going for me Big shout out to my buddy Rob and the whole crew for a great lunch and super memorable day. We will be back soon! Arrrgggg😉🏴‍☠️

Brent is an absolute legend as a server! He went above and beyond to explain the menu to us and made sure to answer every question we had! Every dish he recommended was absolutely amazing! The out door seating and live music was such an amazing option to have! The outdoor playground for the kids is a plus! My daughter played on the playground the whole time we were there before and after eating her meal. If I could give this establishment 10 stars I would! 5 would be for our server Brent and the other 5 would be for the establishment and food!

Decantery Café has a relaxed vibe — a nice spot to sit and chat or get some work done. They offer an interesting selection of dessert, wines, drinks, and coffee, which makes it a unique stop in the area. I ordered a latte with oat milk, and while it was okay, it didn’t justify the $7.25 price tag. The coffee mug felt cheap, and the latte art and presentation could definitely be improved — a drink at that price should be served in a wider cup with some care. That said, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting.

Great choice for a rainy nights dinner. I had the grilled tuna; it was amazing. Fun, lively bar in historic district. I would come back. Thank you. 🌻

As a local Amelia Island resident, I consider The Decantery one of Fernandina Beach’s true gems. It’s the perfect place to indulge in a glass of fine wine or champagne while sharing beautifully crafted desserts with a few close friends. The atmosphere is upscale yet inviting — softly lit, elegant, and ideal for relaxed conversation. Their wine list is exceptional, featuring thoughtful selections and knowledgeable staff who always offer impeccable recommendations. Every detail feels intentional, from the presentation of each dessert to the quality of the service. It’s not an inexpensive stop, nor should it be — The Decantery delivers an experience defined by refinement, warmth, and indulgence. Whether for a quiet evening out or a small gathering with friends, it remains one of the island’s most distinguished spots.

Local recommended the place. Waited 15 minutes for service. If you’re at the bar, they will give you service. If you’re out of eye sight, be prepared to wait. People walked by us 4 times before acknowledging us. People next to us had to ask for service twice. Good vibe, but service doesn’t match the vibe. Big disappointment.

Best charcuterie boards and espresso martinis in Northeast Florida! If you’re looking for a real cocktail made by a real bartender this is the place!

Sarah, Mimi were crushing it tonight! We can always count on great service with Decantery! It’s our favorite place with our favorite people behind the bar!

Went in for a few drinks after exploring downtown and Becca and Charles were so attentive! Incredible bar tenders and they made the trip in, had the best recommendations, and were so entertaining and considerate. Will be returning and asking for them!

Had an excellent breakfast and lunch here on our first visits. The Oyster Po-Boy was delicious with fresh bread and an abundance of fried oysters. Service was excellent. The location is great, being on the beach. And, it was nice dining on the covered balcony with a nice view of the ocean.

The best experience on our trip to the area. The food was phenomenal. My creole flounder topped with a crab cake over potatoes and andouille sausage was amazing. A great value anywhere at $26, yet alone an oceanfront restaurant. The fried shrimp, fried chicken tenders, and hush puppies are exactly what a true north Floridian would want. It’s as true to southern seafood as it gets anywhere in the south. The owners recipe for the pineapple cream cheese side is out of this world. Our server Erin was awesome. She was attentive and made us feel right at home. Every recommendation she made was spot on. Most importantly, she made sure our daughter’s allergies were avoided while still having a great experience. This place is a true gem. The kids had a blast on the playground and we enjoyed the live music even more. My only regret is I wish we had more time to stay.

Great spot for dinner. Are out back and enjoyed the weather. The service was quick and courteous. The food was amazing. I had the Ahi Tuna tacos which were amazing. Food came out quick and correct. Highly recommend this spot for good eats on a beach day.

We enjoyed this place. Oysters were a little small and not particularly well shucked. Fried shrimp platter was perfect. We had great service with a large party (6+2 kids). The add 20% gratuities for parties of 6 or more.

We are so happy that this restaurant is dog, friendly! Our server Gannon, was a pure delight. She helped us navigate the menu and kept us supplied with cold drinks, all while simultaneously giving our big dog Hampton, lots of love and attention, as well as his own bowl of ice cold water. Thanks for making our dinner on the beach absolutely perfect.

Touristy spot (complete with all sorts of souvenir drink cups). Location and views cannot be beat, true oceanfront location. Some tasty food options, crab cakes and just puppies. Service while generally efficient, isn’t always that friendly, a little over stretched.

This spot exceeded expectations!! We are in the area just overnight and stopped here for a bite with the kids. Náutica took care of us and I’ll tell you what, we haven’t had such great service anywhere on the East Coast like we did with Náutica in many years!! She literally took our order with appetizers for a family of 5 all by memory, blew my mind! So kind, so accommodating and very attentive. The food…amazing and so full of flavor. Hands down an amazing experience the whole way around. Kudos!!! 🎉

I took a star for not honoring Combat Veterans with a 10% discount. The service and food are excellent off the main street. The hamburger is a great choice here and ask for the mixed fries (sweet and regular). I had the house salad with blackened scallop add-on and that was delicious. Their chili feels very home cooked ( great flavor with natural ingredients). I imagine with a full crowd indoor would be loud.

Great food and great service. I had the mahi sandwich which is super flavorful. The potato salad and Cole slaw are also top notch. Definitely will be returning.

2025 update: Unfortunately, the owner is on the city council and has chosen to support paid parking for all of downtown. He owns multiple downtown restaurants (Duck Pinz, Baba’s, the Irish Pub, Gregor MacGregor's mini golf, Karibo, and others) and while the food and atmosphere is great, it is difficult to support establishments owned by a person actively working against the interests of his voters. --- When out-of-towners ask me for a food recommendation, Karibo is my #1 recommendation. Karibo focuses on a tight, dedicated menu, but still has a little something for everyone. Dinner options are well-plated, well-seasoned, and contain fresh ingredients. If you aren’t in the mood for a larger dinner like grouper, scallops, or Korean BBQ Ribs, try a fresh salad, or sandwich options like, a Brie’zy Day (Honey Ham, Brie, Cranberry Relish) or a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. A table favorite is the Spicy Thai Noodles (served cold, and perfect for the hot weather!)

We loved it so much, we went back the next day. Delicious food, gorgeous setting on the patio under the trees. Gracious staff and creative kitchen. Thank you!

Enjoyed a delightful lunch of duck tacos outside in the shade. Solid service and really enjoyed the whole experience. Looking forward to coming back sometime!

This is one of our absolute favorite places to eat!! Whether you dine outside or inside the atmosphere is fun & lively but not so loud that you can't enjoy your company. We always order the Mahi sandwich. I recommend half sweet potato, half regular fries & a side of watermelon. They also make an amazing strawberry margarita. It's not always on the menu, but you can ask for them to make it. The food, atmosphere & service are always wonderful. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a delicious place to eat, that's always clean with great service!

Wow!! Amazing food and great service. I’ll preface this review by saying I wish I would’ve gotten more pictures of the food. But it looked so good we had to dig in. 😂 I got the Philly and my husband got the calypso chicken. Let me tell you, so good! Also—I don’t know her name but our server was very attentive and wonderful. The overall vibe here is very chill and relaxed. This is a popular place so we did have to wait around 20 minutes or so but that seemed to fly by. Very much enjoyed it and highly recommend.

We recently hosted a large (24 people), casual group dinner at Tasty's and it was amazing. The food came out all at about the same time. Everyone's orders were correct, and the staff was so hospitable, accommodating, and friendly. I called Tristan, the manager, and he allowed me to put in everyone's orders earlier in the day, which made everything so much easier when it was time to arrive/reserve tables, and EAT! Cannot recommend enough!

They're doing some beautiful things back there! We stopped here for lunch during a short visit to Amelia Island. It was absolutely delicious! I appreciate using potato rolls for the buns. The burgers are great, but those fries were perfect. All hand-cut and fried to perfection. The tots were great too. I loved the combination of cheese sauce, a good chili, and jalapeños! It hit the spot. Next time, we'll be sure to try the shakes. Prices were super reasonable, atmosphere was nice & causal, space was clean, and workers were kind. Looking forward to our next visit! Thank you so much!

Excellent restaurant here on Fernandina Beach, Fl! Outside and inside seating available. Great prices, delicious food. The restaurant was clean, neat, and well organized. The menu has lots of great options. The food is good and the shakes are awesome! Parking can get full real quick, since is public parking and it is right on the strip. Good service from the from the cashier, very welcoming and friendly.

The food at Tasty’s is consistently great. I’ve enjoyed it many times and usually leave happy. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown due to poor service. I spent nearly $60 (including tip) for to-go dinner and dessert for two, but the experience didn’t match the price. My shake was forgotten, and I waited while watching one of the staff make and hand out a free shake to her friend. Meanwhile, my to-go food sat getting cold, and the onion rings and fries turned soggy. Eventually, another employee asked if I was still waiting on something. I said yes, the shake, and she quietly informed the original staff member, who looked embarrassed and then handed me a premade shake from the freezer. It was fine but didn’t taste super fresh. I also ordered two cookies at $3 each, only to discover once I got home that they were prepared on August 29 and labeled to be used by September 1. It was September 6, five days past their recommended date. They were rock hard and completely inedible. I’m a regular at Tasty’s, so this was disappointing. Great food, but this visit didn’t reflect the usual standard, and certainly not worth $60.

Went it to get a couple burgers and fries to go. Got behind a long tour group that had just come in. The young lady behind the counter was so good at keeping things moving while getting orders out. She was not only efficient but such a wonderfully pleasant person. I would go back just for the service but must say the burgers, fries, tots, shake were all great. Great experience all around!

Stopped in today for lunch.Burger was fantastic,one of the better burgers I’ve had!!! It’s a 5 star burger but the fries really sucked, they were as bad as the burger was good.

Cute place but if you like you like hot dogs with chili then just expect it to be salty canned chili. Tasted terrible 😞 Tots are delicious but the fries are greasy. There are much better places with homemade chili

Had a fantastic time at Mezcal in Amelia Island! The vibe was warm with artistic wall paintings that added so much character to the place. We sat by the window with a nice street view — perfect for people-watching and soaking in the local charm. The service was friendly, and we were immediately brought fresh tortilla chips and salsa on the house — such a nice touch! The guacamole was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and their cocktails were top-notch. I highly recommend trying one of their margaritas! We also ordered a shrimp salad, and wow — it absolutely exceeded our expectations. Perfectly cooked shrimp on a bed of crisp, fresh greens — light, refreshing, and delicious. Overall, Mezcal is a perfect spot for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

Mezcal Spirit of Oaxaca is a must visit while in Ferdinanda Beach. Conveniently in the heart of all the shops and walking area. It’s family-owned, and the original owner still works there every day — such a passionate, kind, and genuine man. You can feel the love in the food and the atmosphere. Everything was delicious, and the experience felt truly authentic.

Great spot for more of an upscale Mexican experience. The duck mole enchiladas were great. Perhaps just a tad on the sweet side. I don't know if my wife enjoyed her chile relleno quite as much. Chips & salsa are great! Very flavorful, more heat than most restaurants' standard salsa. Drinks were great, too. Only downside is that this place is very much on the more expensive side as far as Mexican restaurants go.

Pablo’s has gone upscale! Even better location, food up a notch and thankfully the drinks are as good as ever. Grandpa’s margarita is a must, legendary.

Great drinks and food and service. Fabian helped us with drinks while we waited for our table. Our drinks were the Fresca Mezcalita with watermelon added and Luna Picante. I probably needed a little more pineapple to squelch the heat from the jalapeño, but overall delicious. Our server was fantastic, and the food was delicious. We chose the ceviche, lamb barbacoa and Chile relleno and loved all of it. The orange sauce over the ceviche made it pop. We will be back!

My wife and I had the best experience at this restaurant. TJ was very well respected and knew his product knowledge very well. Definitely one of the best services we had. Food & Atmosphere was top notch!

Great place for more authentic Mexican cuisine! Atmosphere is fun and the staff is attentive

Have been a regular visitor her for 20+ years. Atmosphere has always been excellent, food is outstanding as well. Excellent burgers, and the barbecue is outstanding. Good cocktails and expansive beer list. Great place to see a game and full menu is available at the bar.

I recently visited Falcon’s Nest at the Omni Amelia Island Resort to celebrate a family member's 70th birthday, and the experience was truly surreal. From the moment we walked in, the staff went out of their way to make the celebration special. They were incredibly pleasant, attentive, and eager to help with every detail, which made the day even more memorable. We ordered a variety of items, including tacos, burgers, and sides like tater tots, fries, and onion rings. Everything was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The tacos and burgers were delicious and satisfying, with generous portions, and the crispy sides complemented the meal perfectly. What really stood out was the care the staff put into making sure we enjoyed our time there. One of the highlights was the unexpected, thoughtful touch of offering a complimentary cake and a birthday song, which made the celebration feel even more personal and festive. It was such a kind gesture and added a special charm to the evening.The ambiance at Falcon’s Nest, combined with the quality of the food and the top-notch service, made for an unforgettable birthday celebration. I highly recommend this beautiful and amazing place for anyone looking to enjoy great food and exceptional service in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for family gatherings or any special occasion.

The Falcons Nest was so good that we went back two nights in a row! Highly recommend for great burgers and awesome service.

This is a nice cozy location hidden on the grounds of the Omni hotel & resort. The atmosphere is casual and laid back with several tv's playing and a busy bar. The food was average. I had the brisket with chicken and my sides were baked beans & coleslaw slaw. The chicken was not seasoned and the skin was very tough, the brisket was not bad but could've used more seasoning but was very tender. The baked beans were good to me and the coleslaw was average. Wifey felt the same about the chicken and brisket. Her sides were mac n cheese and brussel sprouts. The sprouts lacked flavor, and the mac n cheese lacked flavor and tasted like a cheese sauce rather than real cheese. If I had to go back, I would probably try the burger and wouldn't mind a side of the brisket with some seasoning.

Went here for our 49th anniversary and loved it here. Matt our server was great and filled us in on what to try. We tried everything! Got the wings to start and they were great. So we ordered the four plate smoked barbecue and everything was delicious! Ribs were outstanding as well as the sausage and chicken. Ordered an Old Fashion and Steve the bartender out did every Old Fashion I've had up to this point. Wife had ordered one of their drink specials but said I want one of them after tasting mine. Probably be back next year for our 50th. Thanks Falcon's Nest for a memorable anniversary dinner!

My husband and I ate here shortly after we arrived on our first day at the Omni Amelia Island Resort. Feeling tired and very overwhelmed, I ordered a small salad and the turkey club and deconstructed the sandwich and made my own chief salad. My husband had ribs and brisket with Cole slaw and bake beans. We ate here again two days later feeling much relaxed, and we split a foot long hot dog that had macaroni and cheese on it and a wedge salad. Everything we had was delicious. They have a an interesting array of food, portions are sharable and something for everyone. If your sweet tooth is itching, they had plenty of desserts. I recommend the brookie.

I love the wooden building with the amazing smell. It has a variety of aviation decor. The chef thankfully provides a really polite, tastefully scrumptious, and thoughtful meal. Their falcon burger does not include many vegetable topping. The slightly generous amount of black pepper mayo makes the meal through its flavor. The fries are a good cut, well cooked and seasoned, and tasteful portion with small ketchup accompaniment. 🪵 🍞 🥩 🧀 🥓 🧅 🥔 🍅 🥒

This is a great place to sit and enjoy great food, decent drinks, and amazing service. First of all, we had Tammy who was very friendly and helpful with the menu and she really made the experience enjoyable! The brussel sprouts were very delicious and were a great way to get our appetites ready for the meal. We had the Cajun Shrimp Risotto and we had the special item they were running at the time...braised short ribs. Both were very savory and satisfying to eat. The short rib was tender and juicy. The Cajun Shrimp was not too spicy with a great balance of flavors. The mixed drinks were 50/50 for the evening. The gin drink was disappointing because we couldn't taste the gin. Either there was a small amount or the gin they used lacked any botanical flavors found in gin. The jalapeno margarita was much better. It had fresh jalapenos and a good mix in it. For dessert, we highly recommend the beignets! They were the best part of the entire meal!

We had a great dinner here last night. The folks at the conjoining wine shop are super welcoming and knowledgeable and helped us pick out a bottle to bring over to dinner. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and the food was all delicious and came out quickly, beautifully prepared!

First visit, but not our last. Food was excellent and presented well. Drinks were good, they were out of orange juice but squeezed some for a screwdriver. Our server was excellent and I noticed the other two were just as professional. Speaks well of the management. I'm looking forward to our next visit.

First meal during our first visit to Amelia Island, and this place was a hit! From the initial greeting to fabulous service, and all the delicious dishes, we were all very pleased. Every dish was prepared with a burst of flavor and presented beautifully.

This is a hidden gem. We loved the food so much we went to dinner two nights in a row during our stay. The staff very friendly. We just returned last night for a wedding rehearsal dinner the food and service once again was fabulous starting with a charcuterie board then amazing fried green tomatoes, I enjoyed the filet perfectly cooked and my husband had the chicken option! The wait staff did a phenomenal job with a party over 25! And the kitchen as well

Stellar in every way. Charming team through and through that goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home. From Heather at the front to Tim making sure the food is impeccable every time we visit. Outstanding experience always.

Wonderful dinner!! Heather and Patrick made our family night spectacular!!! They went above and beyond! The food was delicious!! Eager to go back!

This place was wonderful! The fried shrimp meal was absolutely delicious. They had tasty hush puppies, with good appetizer and soup selections as well. The portion sizes were more than enough, with fair prices. There's great outdoor seating options near the beach, with a lovely view included. The service was fast, and everyone was super kind. In addition, they were more than happy to move us when we requested a table change as well. Finally, our server Matthew was very attentive. As someone who has worked in the food service industry, I would highly recommend this place. My family and I will definitely be back! Thanks everyone!

Lots of deep fried foods. My son ordered fish and chips while my husband chicken wings and chips. I stayed with cocktails; well a martini. They have a decent cocktail list and beers. Nothing fancy. Sports bar with sports TVs at different angles. Service was good, ambience was sport on, right on the beach with the sound of the sea waves. college football was on and fans like my husband had a great evening I did not like my cocktail served in a plastic cup. But that's just me.

What a cool place to eat right on the beach! We wanted a pet friendly place because we had our dog with us. They treated our dog just as good as us. They brought her fresh water and dog treats in whip cream. The service was 12 out of 10, the food was 12 out of 10, and we couldn't have had a better dining experience. We had pizza, a shirp platter, and a chicken sandwich enough for four and still had leftovers! We had a cocktail, and it was really good as well! We will probably end up there again!

This place is cool and on the beach. The food is delicious! I had the candied pecan and apple salad. It was amazing, I wish I got the full salad. Unfortunately, I was directed to get the half. The waiter was kind of snooty. Silly me, when I told him I wanted the salad,.but not sure what size I wanted, he snidley said "half". I naively thought he was hinting it was big...but here he was treating me as if that's what was affordable for me. Grr. The "half" WAS TINY! It was SO good, I would have ate a full salad. We were just getting something to hold us over until our supper time. My.partner got the nachos. I guess we seemed cheap or something. He barely waited on us, and we felt rushed, until we were actually ready to go. Granted this is a tourist type restaurant, the prices are ridiculous, but again, what we got was delicious! The waiter,.not so great.

Enjoyed a wonderful late birthday lunch with my husband and couldn’t have asked for a better venue with fantastic beach and water views. Laura was our server and she was both welcoming and attentive. Our celebration consisted of calamari, fish and chips, and grilled Shrimp platter. My husband mentioned it’s my birthday today and not only was our raspberry cheesecake on the house but I was serenaded by the staff too! Fun place.

I love the view from the outside covered patio. Feeling the ocean breeze while I have dinner is amazing! The food is consistently good here, aside from some overcooked and cold hush puppies at times. It happens. I had the coconut shrimp and a blackened grouper sandwich today, which was delicious. Denise was my server and she was attentive and helpful. They have live music in the afternoon from the beach, which is something I enjoy. I’ll be back!

Came late on Sunday night with a table of four so glad we had our waitress Cheyenne because you never would have known the restaurant was as busy as it was-We had great service! We got a margarita, pizza, nachos, fish, and chips and the coconut shrimp. We were surprised on the portion of the fish and chips and the coconut shrimp. It was quite meager for the price.

My wife and her son and I came only to eat here. Ava was our server and she did a great job. The food was good and we enjoyed the experience. We were fortunate to speak with Ellie, the manager on duty, and felt she had a good crew with her. All the staff seemed friendly, even the bartender who thanked us for coming. We had the good fortune to be there when the air conditioner was getting service and we could enjoy eating with cooler temperatures as the temperature outside was into the mid-90s. I want to send appreciated kudos to the owners for having ketchup available with NO high fructose corn syrup. Thank you so much! The whole meal for the three of us average came to $30 each. There seemed to be ample parking spots directly in front of the restaurant. I hope more restaurants follow your lead. Until next time!

Our waitress was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fresh, but it wasnt proportional to the price. The atmosphere was amazing. I would've given it a 5 star. However, the pricing on the menu was different that what we were charged. For instance, fish tacos state $11 on the menu. We were charged $18. I do understand prices change on occasion. For that drastic, it shouldve been made known. I felt like it was false advertising. Other than this, our experience was great.

We had a party of 4 that went in a little after 7pm on a weeknight. We chose to be seated inside due to the heat/humidity. They cleaned off a table for us but it didn't feel clean as napkins were still sticking to the table top and there were dirty napkins on the floor under the table. It took a while for a server to take our drink order but the drinks came out fairly quickly. We placed our order for an appetizer and 4 entrees. Thirty minutes later and still no appetizer; every time our server walked by the table she avoided making eye contact with us. Finally got the appetizer after 45-ish minutes, we asked how much longer for the meals and she told us there was one order ahead of us and it would be 2-3 minutes. We finally got our entrees an hour after we ordered. I had the salmon with rice pilaf and mixed veggies; while the salmon was hot, the veggies were not and the rice had hard/crunchy pieces in it. The 2 people who had fried baskets said none of the food (fish, shrimp and fries) was hot. We definitely felt that our server was avoiding us. When they brought the bill, they had given us 10% off the check, which was a complete insult after waiting an hour for cold food. We ended up getting the bill refunded after speaking to the manager but we will definitely not be going back.

This is a great place and the love music is very entertaining. They have a small hotel attached and we didnt stay there but we have had friends that have, based on them I give it 4 stars. They do get busy, staff seem to get overwhelmed and you may not see your waitress for 15 minutes, but I can look past that seeing how busy it was. We have eaten here no less than 20 times. This trip, the food was good, not great. The salmon was disappointing. Being on the beach you expect good seafood, the Salmon was as thin as a flank steak cooked on a cedar "plank" that was about so thin that it curled under heat, maybe as thick as pop top lid to open a beer. But, it was good, the environment is always good, there's shade and cold drinks

Jackie our waitress was the best. She was sat 3 tables at once and everyone had drinks and food in a timely manner. I don't understand why this place has a 4.1 rating? Good location, house salad with housemade dressings, awesome blackened redfish sandwich with hot crispy fries. Happy hour started at 2pm so we lucked out! $3 yuenglings!! We are so happy we stopped, because we almost passed it by. Restrooms were spotless as well.

We arrived to see Vox, a local band, and were seated immediately. The crowd filled quickly and the staff was hustling! Jacob was our server and did an absolutely amazing job. Our guests were talking about how he was handling all his tables and really enjoyed the attention to detail, attentiveness and great attitude. Excellent job, Surf!

We just came for some shrimp and chips and we were not let down. Ronee M was our excellent server and our food was great! Great place to pop in and out.

Had our last dinner here before traveling back to NJ after spending the week in Amelia Island. The food here was extraordinary. The seafood tower was very flavorful along with the redfish main course was superb. It was such a special time here with my sister, my wife and two kids. The wait staff here was very friendly as well

Amazing restaurant. The service was amazing and very quick! All of the staff was super friendly. Outdoor seating has amazing views of the resort and beach. The bread is amazing. The salmon was some of the best I have ever had! The fries were a little greasy, but that is to be expected with truffle fries. Great menu and selection. Valet is free if you dine here even if you are not staying in the resort, so this is a great option even for locals.

Such a lovely atmosphere. The staff would greet you with such politeness it just made me feel very comfortable. The food was VERY delicious from breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. For salads I definitely recommend the Coast Salad as it was jumping with flavor. For breakfast the Sunrise Wrap was definitely a hit! the whole experience being with the outdoor seating and the waves crashing nearby and the food being so delightful, when I come back to Amelia Island, Coast will be the only restaurant I will be eating at. #Coast

We went there for their open buffet brunch and it was very good. I think for the selection of options that are available plus chef cooking your omelette to your order, $35/person is quite reasonable. Service was impeccable and the seating area is clean and spacious. If we go back to the hotel, we'd be back to the restaurant as well.

Whitley was our server and made date night so special for us! She was knowledgeable about all the menu items. Food was great- ordered oysters and soup for apps, salmon entree, and crème brûlée and chocolate cake for dessert!

It’s The Ritz! I was not disappointed. The Coast is a casual, but really not casual restaurant. We went for lunch, and I was happy I wore a nice dress. The atmosphere is very nice. Relaxing and pleasant. The Staff is very nice. They make you feel welcome. My husband ordered the Swordfish sandwich. I had Ciabatta Roast Beef. We thought everything was delicious. The service was fast. This restaurant is inside of The Hotel. The Hotel is Gorgeous. If you want to do a little shopping, you can stop in one of the many shops. Highly recommend The Coast. You will love the experience. Valet parking only.

Here’s a polished version of your restaurant review for Coast at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island: --- We had a lovely lunch at Coast Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, perfect for a leisurely midday meal. The service was quick and attentive. We ordered the risotto, which was rich and flavorful, and the wedge salad, which was crisp and refreshing. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted excellent. A great spot for delicious food and a peaceful dining experience! --- Let me know if you’d like a shorter version for a Google or Yelp review or a voiceover script for a video.

The hostess was friendly. She was actually the best part of my visit. I knew I should've gone with my first mind and found some place else to eat when there were barely any cars in the parking lot. I eat a lot of Mexican food in a lot of different places. The food was disappointing. The pictures online made the food look way better than it was. I ate a few forks of beans, rice and street corn before deciding that I wasnt going to try to eat anymore. I wouldnt go back nor would I recommend.

Not only was our meal amazing, but Santiago provided humorous and quality service through and through. Drinks, timely. Refills, immediate. And again... humor! 10/10 would recommend!

I had high expectations after hearing so many positive things about this restaurant chain, but my visit was unfortunately disappointing. The good: the chips and salsa were excellent, the marsh view was beautiful, and our waiter delivered outstanding service — friendly, attentive, and professional. The bad: the food did not live up to the reputation. The Tamarindo drink was extremely diluted — more like sweetened brown water than a real tamarind beverage. My husband and I tried both types of enchiladas (green and red), and neither impressed. The refried beans had an off, almost seafood-like flavor, and the enchiladas were simply rolled tortillas with sauce on top — not fried, baked, or broiled as true enchiladas should be (have several Mexican friends) It’s disappointing, because the place itself has a great atmosphere and could be perfect for gatherings, such as our upcoming Bday celebration; but the food quality doesn’t match the setting or service. Maybe it was an off day, but I wouldn’t return unless I get invited without another choice.

Had dinner with my mom and stepdad for my 31st birthday and Victoria was so beautiful her service the smile , I had a spicy pineapple margarita w/ tajin . Took our order accordingly and came out on time thank you again for a good time and a delicious dinner

The ambiance here is great, but the food didn’t measure up. My girlfriend’s burrito arrived cold and tasted like a fast-food knockoff. For the quality and the level of service we experienced, the prices felt too high. Unfortunately, I’d refrain from dining here again.

Lunch, dinner or just hanging out is great at C Louie! The chips and salsa are great to start with a margarita. We usually have several different specialty tacos. The shrimp and corn are amazing. Definitely a place to try. While indoors is cool and comfy, the outdoor patio is the place to be in nice weather.

Victoria is AWESOME 👌 Best bar experience at this location. Food was delicious 😋

I really wanted to absolutely love this place… the inn was definitely historic, quaint and so cute but the rooms were in need of updates and a good deep cleaning. The mattress was the worst! It was not supportive and squeaked with every little movement. The location was fantastic BUT it is right next to the Green Turtle Bar which plays outdoor music and brings in lots of people so if you don’t want to have music playing in the background all night and feel weird about having a boatload of strangers right outside all hours then choose elsewhere! We loved it! My fave part was that right outside our room was a balcony that overlooked the bar and the stage! I feel like service at check in was minimal. But at least it was quick. Then I don’t recall seeing any staff at all the rest of our stay so luckily we are low key and low maintenance. The restaurant in the inn has great reviews but it did not leave much of an impression on me as there is so much else in Fernandina/Amelia that is must do! The courtyard was gorgeous and we had to touch the topless mermaid’s boobs on the fountain! Overall, we enjoyed our stay but mainly because we spent most of our time outside of our room. The room itself was eh. Parking was also limited and not guaranteed! Some of the spots that were there are also difficult to get into or out of especially with a large vehicle.

The closes you can get to feeling like you are a local living in the historic district! The history of this building and the location are a perfect match for a very warm and welcoming experience all the way around. The Manager was very friendly, and I really enjoyed chatting with her. We would love to come back here again! There are two balconies one on the front and one on the back, and they are large and offer the perfect view of the surrounding historic district. I wish we could go back again and stay another night tonight!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay at the Florida House Inn in historic Fernandina Beach was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine Southern hospitality and warm smiles. The inn is full of charm and history, perfectly located for exploring historic downtown Fernandina’s shops, restaurants, and waterfront. A huge shout out to Julie and Emily—they went above and beyond to make my stay special. Their kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail made me feel completely at home. And I can’t forget the inn’s sweet, friendly kitty cats, who added an extra dose of warmth and charm—what a delightful touch! I truly loved every minute of my visit and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend the Florida House Inn for anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming, and unforgettable stay in Amelia Island! 🏡🐾

Location is perfect easy walking everywhere. Restaurant shopping excellent location. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. The facility itself needs a facelift, rundown, overgrown bushes unkept common areas. I know it’s a old historical house, but the upkeep of the facility is lacking

Had a Group of 12 folks for a Wine Pairing dinner. It was excellent in every respect. Food, service and ambiance were great. Certainly would go back.

We got married here a year ago today, and absolutely adore Florida House Inn! We are back again to celebrate our Anniversary and we absolutely love the charm and character the Inn has to offer. Julie is always amazing and welcoming. Highly recommend, especially if you appreciate live music, as Green Turtle next door always has greats bands playing. We'll be back!

This hotel is awful. Had a wedding and they decided to hold a latino party in their bar next door. Could not hear the wedding speechs. Stay away. They want your money and nothing else.

Fresh feeling sports grill with massive flat screens everywhere. Decent sized bar, some high tops, tables and booths contained within.

First time there. I ordered the filet special to go and was beyond delighted with the quality, freshness of the vegetables and flavoring on every item in the dinner. It was DELICIOUS! Far better than a few other places, in the same range of food type, locally. I could not recommend it more.

Great restaurant inside the hotel. Friendly staff, great service, and good food!

Yum!! Our fav restaurant at eat at while we stayed at the ritz Carlton

Food was very good. Drinks super $$$$. Had two double casamigos and seltzer ran 80 dollars. I repeat 80 dollars. I can purchase a bottle for 50. Sad. Food was good though. In Wisconsin a double would cost us like 8 dollars lol.

Good lunch buffet, Excellent classic antique car shows. Pricey but for a good golf vacation this is a good spot in North Florida.

Can't place any orders for pickup.

Friendly and laid back with great music. Huge beer selection. Friendly staff. The owner and his dog (Dave and KK) are very welcoming.

Stayed at hotel across the street and thought this looked like a nice place to sit and enjoy. Walked in sat at the bar and zero service. I stayed there looked at the menu and waited. Knew exactly what I wanted to order but after sitting there with absolutely zero acknowledgment that I was even there I left. No one ever even showed up behind the bar. There were 5 other patrons with drinks but I was never able to enjoy the place. It’s sad

Super cool dive bar. We met Dave years ago while sailing the Atlantic. 😂

Dave And his staff are just a blast. Such a fun place to hang out! He has such a fun taste is decorations. Love it!

Amazing staff and service. Don't pay attention to any negative reviews as this place is worth the visit over and over again! More beers than you could ever imagine! Don't miss out on a hidden gem in the historic district!

Mel and Kaeleen bartenders are amazing just to start.. So fun! Dog friendly! Good music on the reg. Amazing bathroom art.

Stumbled upon PJD’s while walking around downtown with our pup. Not only is it a great local spot to grab a beer but is definitely the most dog friendly establishment downtown. Dave and his staff were so friendly. We will definitely be stopping back in! Thanks for the delirium glasses and a great night!

Excellent food, service and experience. Stopped by for a day date and got a table right away. I had the local shrimp, blackened with cheese grits while the wife enjoyed shrimp and grits. We wrapped things up with a cappuccino cheesecake that came highly recommended by our waitress (baked fresh—nothing frozen here). The entire staff was super friendly and they even run specials throughout the week for locals, teachers, wine discounts etc. so we’ll definitely be back. 5 stars all day!

Wow! Great atmosphere and wonderful meals with great presentation. The charcuterie was a great mix of cheeses and meats. The scallops were on point and thr shrimp and grits- killer!

Went to Beech Street Grill the food was excellent along with the service. We started with the dip of the day which was a crab dip. It was very tasty. Two of us had the local fried shrimp, shrimp and grits, and Atlantic Salmon over garlic risotto. The atmosphere was a little loud. We couldn't talk to each other at our own table. This is probably because there was nothing in the spaces to absorb any sound.

Overall rating 4.4. The atmosphere, service, and food are all great. The drinks were on the weak side. The waitress and staff were amazing. Jaqueline was an amazing waitress and made our experience, so kudos and thank you. The food was actually really good. I personally recommend the brussel sprouts. They were fire. The atmosphere was nice too. Outdoor and indoor seating available. The weakest point were the drinks. Given the price point and higher quality vibe, I expected some solid drinks. My first drink I ordered from the menu and it was good (not amazing). The next drink, I asked for a picture worthy cocktail and I got a drink with a pink flower. The bartender needs some work; otherwise, this place would've hit 5 stars for me.

Came here for a private event and it was wonderful. The table setting was beautiful and the service was excellent from all of the staff. So friendly and helpful! The food was phenomenal. There was a pre set menu with chicken, beef or salmon. The beef was so tender and the chocolate cake at the end was the perfect end. Not heavy at all or too sweet.

We enjoyed a cup of the clam chowder w corn (delicious), tuna ahi poke bowl, and evenings special snapper w pineapple salsa & rice. Everything was hot, to the table fairly quickly, and served by a knowledgable waiter. We did not have a reservation but were able to secure a high top in the bar area. Several areas available to dine in, modern and clean. Small outdoor patio area, gas heaters available for cool evenings. Free parking nearby. Prices reasonable for the quality, and level of service. We will return.

Food & atmosphere are beautiful but service is what makes it special! Jenna was knowledgeable, fun & personable. The bartender makes a spectacular Lemon drop martini & took time to talk to me about what makes it so delicious & different.

Amazing food! We enjoyed pizza, a smash burger & Caesar salad. Chicken wings were delicious! We will be back!

I recently had my wedding reception here and gosh was it perfect! Kevin was great at communicating and working with us on everything! The staff was wonderful, friendly and accommodating. The food was so delicious, and most importantly the beer was fabulous! Everyone had a blast, and I can't wait to go back to enjoy some brews.

Outstanding service, food, and microbrewery. Come and support a small business with love in its name and action. Huge supporter of local community events. Frequent live concerts, special attractions, and school fundraisers hosted. Indoor or outdoor seating available for great conversation and get togethers. Wings you will come back for time and again or was it the the smash burger or the service or was it the comraderie?

We loved this little brewery for its flagship product, Beer, which is the reason for our visit. Everything we tried was either very good or great. The Lily Belgian Tripel was awesome: crisp, clean tasting, and flavorful. The bartender was friendly and most informative. The space in the storefront location just off historic Centre Street is small and brings about a chill brewery vibe. We didn't try the food. The employees we talked to all seemed enthusiastic about First Love Brewing Pub. We wish much success for this business venture and will support it again upon a future visit (and try more of their beers).

Great place, very good food! Pizza was a bit salty but otherwise very good. Fries and wings awesome! All the employees were very nice and helpful. Good atmosphere! Also, the prices were pretty good for this current market$$$

Our first visit , read a food critic blog and she raved about the brewery. We are not big beer consumers, but we are pizza critics and I have to tell you , the Pizza is by far the best Pizza we have had in Nassau, Duval, Clay, and Flagler County. This will definitely be our Pizza joint...... I wish they did have tea options along with an Arnold Palmer though......

Was in the area visiting and had an exceptional time here. Staff were very friendly and had great suggestions. The brews were all great but the hoppy imperial lager Sonic Dissonance was our groups favorite. The pizza was delicious and the truffle fries got eaten almost as soon as they got put down for being so good. Great family place with outdoor picnic benches and plenty of indoor seating indoors for those rainy days. Will come back when in town again. Cheers!!

If I could give zero stars, I would. My daughter and I ate here today, and from the moment we walked in, we felt like a bother rather than valued guests. The hostess—who should be the first friendly face welcoming customers—was anything but. She was visibly annoyed by simply doing her job, spoke to us in a condescending tone, and even berated us in front of the entire dining room. A rude hostess sets the tone for the whole experience, and unfortunately, it only went downhill from there. The service was terrible, and the food was far below average. It’s clear that customer service is not a priority here. I truly hope the owners see this and reconsider who they have greeting their guests. A warm, welcoming atmosphere starts at the door—and today, that was completely missing. We won’t be back.

What a great history lesson coming here and seeing this huge mansion converted into a bed and breakfast with a restaurant that has great seating arrangements, wonderful food and Old charm feel. Menu was just what we needed, prices were great and food was delicious!

We had Brunch at Leddy's Porch on our vacation & we were very happy as we did. It was in a historic what seemed to be a Bed & Breakfast Hotel property. The courtyard was very nice. We sat outside. Becky was our server & did a wonderful job. The Bloody Mary was Tip Top. Things were winding down for Brunch as we were finishing & had a nice walk around the place. The bar was nice, well decorated inside. One could easily see the kitchen & it was very clean & tidy. The porch is nice for sitting on if you need to wait for your table to be ready. The outside courtyard table we sat at was nice & comfortable. If given the opportunity, we would dine here again & highly recommend Leddy's Porch.

Leddy's is one of our 2 go to's for breakfast. We highly recommend you sit outside. The view of the historic Florida House Inn is amazing and we love the huge tree growing next to the house. The food is great and our favorites are the fried green tomatoes and the Hoss. The Hoss is loaded...biscuits. Egg, bacon, and fried chicken covered in gravy. You will not be disappointed. They also have either a bottomless Mimosa or my favorite bottomless Bloody Mary (spicy).

Wildly unimpressed. Planned a small brunch here, was in contact with someone to plan, and then barely heard from anyone leading up to the event, until the morning of (one hour before) “we have everything ready here if you’re still coming!” So we went, easiest group of people to take care of, and I asked for the room reservation fee on my check. Waitress comes back and told me she just split it between everyone, after I asked her to put it on one. Then gets angry and annoyed stating that she now has to reprint them all, when she wouldn’t have, if she’d listened to me. Then they wanted to add gratuity to the bill with the room fee which had no food on it, and gratuity was already included with the other checks. Then, while we stepped into the bathroom, the server, and I’m guessing the event coordinator, who I still never met or saw, were all speaking poorly of us. So definitely won’t be recommending.

Shrimp and Grits were very flavorful! Grilled Pimento cheese and fries were great ! My husband enjoyed the Hoss. Service was good. Food was great.

Awesome as usual! Chicken and waffles never disappoint and the fried green tomato BLT was great 👍 Chastity was great, attentive and accurate. TY!

Stopped here for a late lunch. Food was fantastic and the wait staff worked their butts off. Super chill atmosphere and very family friendly. Menu is what you expect from a coastal seafood place. (In a good way) With a section of the drinks menu called “Boat Drinks” and a Yacht Rock playlist they are definitely chasing a vibe and it works for them. The Smoked Gouda Fish Fondue was amazing and so were the house made chips. We also enjoyed fried shrimp, great French fries, the lobster bisque, and the bang bang shrimp. I had the Shrimp Po’boy and it was A+. It was a great experience.

🦀 Family of five & we selected the Shrimp Po Boy, Fried Shrimp Baskets x3 and 1 lb of crab legs for dinner tonight. They had a large party upstairs but we didn’t mind waiting. Shrimp were huge! Good portions & taste good. Our server Jody was awesome! I told him he was working hard tonight getting people seated and being our waiter, but he multitasked like a pro! We will be back :-) ❤️

Took a while to get seated. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great, seating so I could watch the sunset over the water. Amazing! Had the Seafood Tower, which was delicious. However for $156.00 I would strongly recommend including some potatoes and/or corn for a complete meal offering.

We were lucky enough to visit this fabulous establishment while a piano man was there. He was a lot of fun. We had fishbowl drinks with cute gummy fish at the bottom of our glasses, shrimp cocktail, and fish dip. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and I can’t wait to return.

One of the few places open late here. Maybe because we got there 1 hour before closing but the food was not that good. The fish & chips had more batter than fish & the fries were coated which should be extra crispy but came to the table limp. The crab cake sandwich was less than desirable and was so mushy it would make mashed potato blush. The she crab soup & lobster bisque had neither crab or lobster.

Overall, a great experience. We had the seafood boil for four and they impressed all of us. Probably the best one we've ever had. Gotta go try it. Thanks for a great meal.

Holy Cannoli Batman! This place is the best! ALL 👏 YOU 👏 CAN 👏 EAT👏 CRAB LEGS! The food was amazing! Seriously possibly the best damn crab legs I’ve ever had! The majority of them pulled apart so you got the delicious whole piece! Gouda mac was so creamy and so delicious! My hush puppies were deep fried to perfection! Brittany was wearing all the hats and she did it well! Host, Server, Bartender, Food runner! Not to mention we never had to ask for a refill.

Of all the different food genres that there are in the world, it seems like German restaurants are scarce and few and far between. Whenever we have an opportunity to experience authentic German cuisine we try to jump at the opportunity. This small little beer garden that is nestled downtown Fernandina is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is fantastic and the decor is perfect for a relaxed Bavarian Style experience. The real attraction however came from the food. The selection on the menu was very authentic as well as having different varieties of authentic German sausages that were locally made. The flavor was wonderful and I loved the idea that they had different types of German mustard including curry. There was also a huge German beer selection all of them imported and all of them authentic. As a result of the import however the prices were just a tad on the Steep side but it is an understandable up charge for the amount of work that this small business has to go through for its craft. I was thoroughly impressed and thoroughly satisfied at the end of my meal and I would recommend this place to anybody as I would dare say it is one of the best German restaurants I have eaten at in a long time. I give the overall experience five stars but I would subtract one star for the service because it seemed like we had to wait for quite a while for the server to notice us, give us our bill, and give us the mustard that they usually give with entrees. Otherwise, that would not prohibit me from coming back here again.

UPDATE AS OF 3/15/25: new menu with higher prices, same food. Changed from 5 stars to 4 stars due to DECREASED VALUE on other items on the menu. This is one of my favorite local spots and they are fast and friendly! I got the Al La carte bratwurst $7 (no bun) *** Now $8**** and my mom got the traditional brat with a side of potato salad $16. She is German and loved it. She said the potato salad is very authentic and may not be for everyone’s taste because it is made with vinegar and not mayo but overall it’s amazing. I share the menu so you can look it over before you arrive. I recommend sitting outside by the fountain on a sunny day!! I taught my mom sudoku at the table and it was so fun.

I had the Jaegerschnitzel, but substituted the garden salad for the mashed potatoes. Their Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing went great with savory Jaegerschnitzel. Their service was wonderful and the Biergarten was a delightful setting for a meal.

LOVED IT! Such an authentic feeling experience in little Fernandina! The service was phenomenal. All of the gals we interacted with were so kind. Speaking from European travel experience, the selection of beers offered was terrific. The décor and atmosphere transport you to a German bierhalle. Made us nostalgic!!!! The food was awesome. One of the best brats I’ve tasted in a while, and the pretzel was sooooo fluffy! The patio area is so fun and they even have an area with kids games. Loved everything about this visit. Will be back!

Great outside eating and drinking space. I was a little leery because I saw the potato salad had bacon and our server couldn’t pronounce some of the dishes. However, once we got our food, we were pleasantly surprised. I had the turkey rye with cucumber salad. It delicious! The hubs had the Reuben and he really liked the potato salad, though my Opa would not have approved. The corned beef was lean and the sauerkraut sauce was tangy.

We are regulars here. The food is absolutely delicious. Our favorite is Reuben Sandwich with German potato salad along with the Cucumber salad. And of course several of our German beers. The last time I visited I got the Schnitzel with the red cabbage and mashed potatoes. It was soooo good. I heard a few complaints from previous guests that they served them on paper plates. We'll they finally graduated from that and are serving the dinners on proper plates now. Don't forget the pretzel! So good

Outstanding German food. Was so happy to see Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, one of my favorite Munich beers, on the menu. Spinach-artichoke dip starter was chock full of spinach-artichoke creaminess and just the right amount of cheese…pretzel crustinis were yummy. Schnitzel was perfectly crisp, tender and savory. Sauerbraten was tender and richly seasoned. Red cabbage and potato salad sides were generously portioned and absolutely delicious. Entrée selection is limited, but not unexpected at a smaller establishment. Excellent food and friendly service made for a great evening out. I look forward to returning soon.

This place was a little hard to find as our GPS was confused about its location. Just drive directly to the Ritz, use their complimentary valet and walk through the building. Coquina is outside and to the left. The food was a little bland for the price but the drinks were great. The views are amazing and you're only steps away from the ocean.

Great food and Atmosphere! The queso was amazing and the chips were very fresh. Lots of nice seating options all with amazing views. The corn tacos were amazing. The chicken tacos has a BBQ flavor which was unexpected but very good. The service was very quick, but slowed down as the night went on. The churros were amazing and very fresh. You are steps away from the beach which is amazing. The valet is complimentary if you are eating here, even if you are not staying here making this a great options for locals looking to try something new!

FIVE Stars ALL the way!! The first five star goes to my server, JD. Great job, JD! You nailed every part of the job and then some. The Roasted Corn Tacos were outstanding! Restaurants at a coastal location aren't known for vegetarian options. Coquina, the roasted corn tacos were clearly not an afterthought meant to placate the vegetarian who snubs the signature catch of the day. With a plate of three tacos and a mix-and-match seafood/corn option, the roasted corn is a viable option to the most devout seafood aficionado.

Location, Location, Location!! grab a seat and enjoy the amazing views. Service is top notch. drink selection is great. $15 for chips and guacamole. I was looking for guacamole that was more interesting with tomato, onion, fresh lime. fish tacos were good not great. lots of moisture makes the tortilla soggy. flavor ok. I wouldn't order again.

We were not ready for how much we were going to love this place! My friend and I popped in for a quick snack and immediately fell in love! I loved that we came in during the slow season. We had the place all to ourselves, and we really enjoyed the ceviche and the sparkling lemonade. Plus, the food came out very quickly, and Miranda was excellent! We will certainly be back to Coquina. Thinking about doing it for a birthday dinner…🤔

Food is okay - location is beautiful! Poolside and walking distance to the ocean. Our service good and food came out quick. We ordered Nachos and added Shrimp and the fish of the day (Mahi) on a sandwich. I’d recommend if you’re poolside but no need to make a special trip to eat here.

Great views, great service, great food.

Brewery: Mocana Brewery City: Fernandina Beach, FL Brewed on premise: Yes Number of house beer taps: 15 Guest Beer:Yes, ciders and NA Bar seating: 10 Table seating: Yes Patio: No Beer garden: No Food: Yes Food Trucks: No Dogs Allowed: No Televisions: 2 Beer to go: Yes Liquor: No Wine: Yes Tony: Yes Why would I come back: Mocaha Brewery has roots that run deep into the sands on the Pacific coast. The brewery is named in honor of the Mocama, the indigenous people who first thrived here. This connection to the land and water inspires everything they do. ​Every beer we brew is crafted with passion and tradition, but Mocana continues exploring modern flavors and styles. With 15 beers on tap, there's so much amazing beer to try. The Cosmico is great, but popular on tap at many local pubs, go for Cabana Coast SIPA or Fuso Imperial Milk Stout while you're here. Beautiful tap room is open and airy with tons of natural light. Beertender is super friendly and knowledgeable. The bar has really amazing tile work and the golden tap handles stand out. Offering small bites, salads and pizzas to nosh on. @brewersassoc @homebrewassoc @touchdownbrewery #ParkerPose #BeerLife #BeerLove .

The Ruby Rosa was delicious, but the real star was the tiramisu. It's the best we ever had! It was the dessert of the day, but I hope they put it on the menu.

We came here for the coffee side of the facility and it was great! All the drinks that we ordered tasted good and were freshly made by the barista. There is plenty of seating and the place is very airy. We did park across the street because the main lot was filled. I also tried one of the IPAs and they had and it was really good. Half the building is the brewery and the other is the coffee shop, but it is open between the two so patrons can go to any part of the facility.

I love visiting this area and enjoy trying new breweries so I was ecstatic to come across Mocama Beer Company. I was amazed at the decor and atmosphere upon first stepping foot in the door and everything seemed very clean and tidy. The beer list isn't terribly large and there weren't a ton of dark beer options for a porter & stout lover such as myself so I tried the only two on the menu. I can tell dark beers aren't there bread and butter but they were drinkable. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that my visit was during the hotter summer months so I'll pop in another time in the cooler months and see if there is any more variety of my liking. There was a neat looking coffee bar here but there was no one manning the counter so I suppose that has it's own set of hours and I'll have to give that a try another time as well.

The beer was delicious and the brewery was really nice. We ordered the beer cheese and that left us disappointed. It was very watery. Would still come back for the beer.

Stopped by on a Saturday for a drink. Friendly service and nice list of beers on tap. There was a cover band playing some songs from the 70’s, they did a great job. Going back for sure.

This place was the absolute highlight of our visit to Amelia Island. The space is beautiful, and the beers are FANTASTIC. Absolute hats off to the brewers. The parking is great and the food trucks that visit are awesome as well. Returned many times during our trip, and will go back specifically for Mocama.

UPDATE: Just went back here yesterday and man was I bummed to find out that you guys doubled Happy Hour prices! Your Happy Hour was a draw for us and many others. I understand having to raise prices a few bucks, but damn to double them seems unreasonable. Now your prices are the same as The Palace. I hope you reconsider your new prices and lower them a bit for your patrons. Being new to the area my husband and I were looking to find "Our" bar! You know what I mean, the kind of bar where you feel at home. My criteria is simple. Have a pool table, a jukebox, affordable drinks, and good vibes. We walked into Locals and knew we had found it! Great pool tables. They have TouchTunes as well. That's important! Gotta have a little ZZ Top while I scratch again. They do Happy Hour everyday and it makes us stay longer than we would. Bartenders are great! They remember you and always strike up a conversation. So definitely come check out Locals! You'll love it here!

Locals is the best bar on this beach, maybe even on this half of the continental USA. I have seen more awesome shenanigans go down at this bar than at every other place on Jax beach combined. Bartenders are chill and know their stuff for the most part. Smitty, the manager, is welcoming and level-headed. Beer pong tournament tuesdays are fun and worth going just for the beer deals. I think I will be going back to this place yearly for the rest of my life.

Pretty cool place, nice bar to chill with some close friends or play some pool, bar tenders are very accommodating. Would have given them 5 stars but the fire table ran out of gas on a cold night.

I had great customer service and friendly customer interaction. My bartenders Amber and Smitty did an amazing job on their Old Fashions. I had each of them make me one to see who’s scored best with me. I won’t share the overall winner but they both exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and bar crowd. Definitely comeback when I’m in town

very awesome environment bartenders are extraordinary. they're always doing different games and switching up the decorations so it's never a dull moment when you walk through the door. it's great for those who like large crowds and those who don't some days are jam packed and some days are perfect for a day off of work where you just need a group to play pool with

Love Locals. Fantastic cocktails. Friendly service and the beat happy hour on the island!

We have really enjoyed Locals. The bar has a great atmosphere. The drinks are mixed well. There is a great selection of beers and hard liquors. Rob is our favorite bartender. He's always friendly and conversational. Can't beat a happy hour that's 7 hours long - 1PM to 8PM. Good drinks, good service, all for a great price.

This tour was purchased for us as part of our honeymoon, we arrived ahead of time but the Guide did not show up for the pub crawl. We saw another guide who was just finishing the regular tour and told us our guide should be there shortly. We found out after checking the website that our tour had been cancelled, zero notification from the company to us or anyone else booked on. The other 7 people booked on the tour were locals so we went on our own ghost tour that one gets a 5 star review. The official paid for tour 0/10.

Colleen was a wonderful tour guide. She is a great story teller and the entire tour was fascinating. Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, the historical knowledge she has will keep you interested the whole time. Definitely recommend!

We did the bar crawl and had a blast! Colleen is a great guide and really pulls you into the local legends. She went above and beyond for the tour and you can tell she loves ghost hunting and she brought some ghost hunting equipment. Would definitely recommend. It's not just bars she does houses and bars and it's a lot more fun and you can hear. Some bar crawls they just go in bars and it's loud this one is laid out great!

We did the haunted bar crawl on Saturday and Colleen was so fun! She really knows the stories and history. Fernandina is a scary place!

Do not book a tour with this company. We did a haunted bar crawl and per the website were supposed to visit 3 to 4 bars. When the tour started we were immediately told only 1 to 2 bar stops for the night because 3 to 4 stops would mean the tour would be 4 hours long. The tour guide's husband took us into the 1st bar and immediately marched up to order his drink. No such thing as letting the guests go first. The tour guide showed us ghost images on an iPad zooming into pictures. Just a scam

My daughter and I went on this ghost tour on 11/13/21 it was amazing I couldn’t of asked for a better night out. The tour guides where amazing very informative and just great to hang out with. Are emf readers that they give you where lighting up all over. If you are going to Amelia island I suggest to dob this tour or any of the ones she does in going to come back by myself and do to rated R tour myself I can’t wait!!!

Terrible Experience – Avoid This Tour! I booked the Amelia Island Haunted Pub Crawl for a fun night out on my birthday back in early July. We were promised a haunted pub crawl with stops at several bars, but our tour guide, Colleen, never showed up. Instead, we were awkwardly merged with a family-friendly ghost tour that wasn’t what we paid for. The tour guide who took over tried to do the pub crawl at the same time as the other tour, and everything was rushed. We barely had time for one drink at the first bar, which was about to close within the last 8 minutes of being open. Despite staying on the tour for over an hour and a half, we never made it to another bar. To top it off, the souvenir we were promised never happenes either. I contacted Colleen immediately after the tour, and she promised to resolve the issue. It’s been over a month and a half, and I’ve received nothing but silence. No refund, no follow-up, nothing. After checking other reviews, I’ve found that this isn’t an isolated incident—others have had similar experiences. If you’re looking for a legitimate ghost tour, look elsewhere. This company is scamming tourists out of their money. Save your time and money, and avoid this tour at all costs!

We loved the Mermaid bar! David was a fantastic bartender! We loved hearing all his stories. He really made it the best bar experience on the island with a welcoming vibe! We will be back next time on vacation!

The best hidden gem in Amelia Island. Come see Austin at The Mermaid Bar. Tell him what you like and be ready to be amazed with a custom drink that I'm sure you'll never forget. We will be back for sure!!

5th Jan 18 I had lunch here with my mother who was visiting me. I had never been to this establishment before and wont go again. The heating was not working and the restaurant was freezing cold, we sat with our coats on and so did the other patrons. The staff should have advised us when we came in. I ordered the fried green tomato BLT with a side of fries. The menu says the fries are "hand-cut" but I find that really hard to believe, they were heavily seasoned and so salty I was unable to eat them. The BLT had soggy fatty bacon and not enough dressing (whatever it was - ranch I think) on dried out bread. The biscuit and jam were about the only edible things. My mother had the omelete - ordinary would be best description - and over-salted fries which she didnt eat either. The waitress asked me if I wanted a refill of diet coke then never returned with it. We couldnt wait to leave and I didnt want the argument/discussion with the staff about how awful it was so we paid and left to go outside and get warm !

Fantastic place to enjoy drinks with friends in a great atmosphere!

What a cute bar with a great hotel. I was so impressed at the staff. They really kept our crowd entertained and made sure every person was taken care of.

Really like the style of this BnB Bar, and Phoebe was so knowledgeable about the area. Nice calm environment to relax and enjoy a drink.

Paul made our group fresh pineapple margaritas. They were hand crafted - amazing !! 🍍 🍹❤
