Great location to enjoy the view of the ocean! We sat on the balcony, where the sound of the waves added a nice touch to the meal. Unfortunately, it was a chilly morning, and we hoped to sit inside by a window. However, we were told no tables were available, only to see others seated at an empty table later. Despite this, the service was attentive, and the omelettes were delicious—definitely worth a visit, especially on a warmer day.

Family friendly breakfast resturant with a nice view of the ocean. Sadly, there is no changing table in either the men’s or the women’s bathroom. Hard to enjoy your meal when you have to go back to your car or room to change your baby.

The staff was willing to accommodate all special requests. The service was excellent, food delicious and well prepared. The view of the ocean was perfect. Had a wonderful breakfast experience!

I was hoping for some sort of light breakfast like fruit because I was in a hurry and didn’t know if I’d be able to take anything with me when I had an appointment with someone in about 30 minutes. The only thing that seemed appropriate would’ve been a few of the items at the buffet, but since I knew I couldn’t eat much and didn’t have time to pick at it over a longer period of time, I asked if there was a child’s portion price or something instead of the $30 regular price because they didn’t have any options that would work for me on the menu. I even have proof from my doctor that I usually order from a child’s menu for medical reasons. He asked his manager and they said no.

He allowed me to order a child’s meal off the menu and there was nothing there that would’ve been a lighter breakfast like fruit, so I ordered the seaside biscuit. In the description on the menu, it said it was a biscuit with over-hard egg and sausage and cheese with potatoes. I assumed that would be a better choice than the waffles or pancakes that were the other options. It took more like 20 minutes to get the food and left me with three minutes to eat, so I asked the kid that brought me the meal for to go container because I had to leave and did not have time to eat. When I was packing it up, I took a bite of each thing just to get something to eat and the egg was not hard cooked; it was full runny and very peppery, which I found strange to be in a kids meal! The biscuit was tough and I just threw out, I found the sausage to be pretty spicy; especially for a child, but the potatoes were the only thing that I actually liked.

Fortunately, I was able to take the box with me to my meeting. That meal was $14 and made me think it would’ve been worth the $30 for the buffet even just to have gotten some fruit that I would’ve enjoyed and had time to eat over that disaster.

The best thing about that whole visit was, I chose to sit outside with the amazing view of the ocean while I waited all that time for food I couldn’t even eat besides the potatoes eventually.

The food was delicious, they force you to get the buffet. Because there are not a lot of options on the menu. But overall, it was delicious. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. You have a choice to dine in the AC or out on the shaded balcony. Oh yeah, and just a friendly tip, get the valet parking, it's only $10.

Most amazing food selection ever. Chia yogurt, made to order omelettes, and fresh smoked salmon ready for a bagel. All the wait staff were eager to assist and made our stay more enjoyable. Love it.

Hostesses seemed indifferent to anyone's arrival. Server was nice, but either had too many tables or also didn't care as he disappeared at times and left us sitting when we needed something, even if we had just asked for coffee, which was sitting literally right behind me two steps away and yet he vanished for 10 minutes before we actually got more coffee (it was not to brew fresh or bring out a new carafe). Some of the food was good, some was less so. My eggs benedict were ok - eggs were properly runny, but there was very little ham, and there was so much sauce the the English muffins were soggy. The breakfast potatoes tasted fine, but had so much green pepper it was all I could smell. My wife had two over easy eggs and one was firm cooked, one correctly runny. There was nothing about out experience that was worth over $30 per person for breakfast. The view was nice, but can be found other places in the area for less money for equal or better quality food. We had a much better breakfast for less than half the cost at a different location the next day. Zero desire to go back.

We did not stay at the Omni, but the brunch looked worth checking out and we weren't disappointed. We got the brunch buffet and everything was extremely tasty. The omelette station did a phenomenal job with our orders, the biscuits were light, airy and buttery, and sausage gravy was not too heavy or salty. The fresh squeezed OJ was addictive. We were entirely pleased with the food and value we got. We sat outside in the shade - and while it was a bit warm (we are from Florida so we were used to it), it was quiet and peaceful. (The inside dining area had more families and was noisier) We would definitely go back.

Great to dine here a little later in the morning when it is not so busy from the breakfast rush. We came at 11:30am and still had ample time to eat at the buffet. There was very few diners and a beautiful ocean view. Everything tasted great; crisp bacon, sausages, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, croissants and pastries, yogurts, assorted fruits, cold cuts and cheese all for a very reasonable price (approx. 30.00 pp) Their fresh squeezed orange juice machines make the perfect orange juice! Friendly, attentive service!

I normally don't do buffets, but this buffet was amazing. The biscuits were light and fluffy. The gravy was very tasty, the omelette came out perfect. The orange juice squeezer that squeezes them right in front of you was a nice touch. I will definitely be going back.

We visited for breakfast and chose the buffet. The orange juice (fresh squeezed) was the BEST! The breakfast selection was amazing! Art, our waiter, even took our picture scenic ocean. What a delight!

It is not an inexpensive venture, but we think it's worth it to sit looking at the waves and eating excellent pastries, made to order omelets, fresh fruit, house made yogurt, and orange juice squeezed while you watch.

My wife brought me there for Fathers Day. The buffet was excellent and was pleased with everything that was served ! The waitress was very attentive to our needs and was vey excellent when we needed more food or drinks! We'll be back. The view outside was the highlight and romantic. Thank you all for a wonderful Fathers Day !

This is our second year staying at the Omni Amelia Island. Always love coming back for breakfast because of the quality of food, the variety of options, and always being treated with a smile on everyone's face.
