“Absolutely delicious! Our best dinner on Amelia island. Living in NYC we are quite spoiled with the best restaurants but this was one of our top meals this year. Everything from start to finish was superb along with amazing service from Tanner with great wine recommendations. From the homemade bread, Bibb salad, fresh catch and the homemade beignets and coffee ice cream was divine! The French fries were probably the best we've ever had. Cannot recommend enough! And such a great value overall“

“Absolutely amazing!! We had an amazing waitress and overall was super good.“

“Great time at pool and lunch was wonderful. Loved the salmon BLT.“

“My family and I (party of 10) was visiting the area for Georgia/Florida and stopped here on our way back to Georgia. It was very busy but we were sitted fairly quickly Great food. Portion sizes are large. I ordered breakfast burrito with grits and a side of pancakes. I enjoyed everything. Prices were great as well“

“Great!!“

“Excellent service food was really good price was good also.“

“I recently dined at Oceanside Restaurant in Omni Resort, Amelia Island, and it was a truly relaxing experience, mainly due to its perfect location right in front of the sea. The oceanfront view creates a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to sit back, unwind, and enjoy a meal with a loved one. The sound of the waves and the ocean breeze really added to the charm, and it’s hard to beat such a beautiful setting for a meal.As for the food, I ordered the grain salad, which was a mix of grains and vegetables. While it was fresh and healthy, the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. It lacked the depth and seasoning that would have made it more memorable. The shrimp, on the other hand, was well-cooked and flavorful, a definite highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the calamari didn’t live up to the same standard—it was a bit bland and lacked the crispness I was hoping for.Despite the mixed experience with the food, the overall ambiance of the restaurant made it a pleasant visit. The service was attentive, and the setting was perfect for a relaxing evening. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic spot to enjoy a meal with a stunning ocean view, Oceanside Restaurant is definitely worth visiting, even if the food could use a bit more attention to flavor.“

“Such a wonderful meal and dining experience on the patio. The Waterview was beautiful and we were able to take our pup which they immediately brought a bowl of ice water for him and they had very unique lunch options which we both thoroughly enjoyed.“

“Excellent burger’s and good soup 🥣“

“Best customer service ever! The food is great. It has a nice playground in the back for the kids. The owner is a great guy and is very involved in his business and helps lead his staff. We got exceptional customer service. The kids and the whole family love coming here!“

“First time visitor- recommend by a local - she was spot on - food was amazing- especially the green beans, best I’ve ever had (and I live in the south), steaks were delicious as well - our waitress Summer was great - very friendly and attentive Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back“

“I have always eaten at Waffle House.Because i'm from florida and that's what we do...this was my first time ever eating at a Huddlel House. I was so impressed period I thought it was basically gonna be the same thing which it is but the quality was so much better... the food was actually better. When I was doing a roas trip through GA they were everywhere And now I wish I had stopped period period I got the same thing that I get at waffle house steak & two eggs over easy wheat toast Is hash browns and bacon for my dog. The steak and eggs were better than waffle.House the coffee was much better ....the bacon was about the same and toast, well toast is toast ... Unless you get it at the Junction restaurant in Troy Vermont where it is homemade and it's unbelievable but not everybody can do that. So I was super impressed and I will definitely be returning.“

“We had the most pleasant experience at The Patio 5th & Ash! Our server, Brooke was amazing and top notch making sure we were well taken care of during our dining experience. We had the shrimp and grits which were outstanding!! We will definitely be going back soon and will be asking to sit in her area.“

“Quick 20 minute wait to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with one of the best sangrias I’ve ever had, accompanied by the most handsome man I’ve ever met and the most delicious Shrimp Salad Sandwich. The music and atmosphere were the cherry on top. Ask for Amy Jo!“

“The white hair guy is horrible! I think his name is Wesley? He yells at the servers! We won’t be back until he is gone! Get rid of him! He’s mean to your staff.“

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!“

“My daughter and I stopped in here for a girls night dinner. We ordered several items off of the small plates section and the food was phenomenal! Wish I could’ve eaten more. I’m not a beer drinker but cocktails were yummy also. Nice, clean environment and friendly staff! We will be back next trip!“

“We have been enjoying, the snack foods and full meals, besides our drinks during( It's 5 o'clock somewhere classes)... every other Wednesday night. The Alley is a fantastic Host for our Art Classes... and a perfect location for a small party or gathering... TV, Music, own bar tender, plenty of seating... lovely atmosphere, great in-house Beer too!“

“Great spot for bar food! The chicken nachos and bacon tots were tasty, and the beer selection was solid with a good tap. Service was friendly and attentive. Only a couple of minor issues – there were a few bugs flying around, and one unfortunately landed in our nachos. It’d also be nice if the bar area had larger TVs or a few more for a better viewing experience. Overall, still a good place to grab a bite and some drinks in a laid-back atmosphere!“

“Another great meal yesterday at Kitchen 251. We finally had a chance to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and or meal.“

“Great food, great service. Overpriced / small portions. The flounder was delicious but disappointed there was not really any sides to speak of nor bread for the table. With a $41 price tag on the fish only that was disappointing. The service was excellent and the view was superb.“

“Love this bar! Jess and Becca are the best. Quick service. Cold beer. Great atmosphere. My favorite spot!“

“Would like to see a different menu with some lighter options. Our food was greasy and unappealing. They're content to just be a bar that happens to serve some grub; not sure that will satisfy the locals.“

“Super tasty burger. A local favorite“

“Fantastic burgers, friendly staff, and very clean. The best freshly made milk shakes!“

“Loved our experience here tonight! Would recommend a thousand times!! Such great service!“
