Restaurants in Fernandina Beach

“We absolutely loved this restaurant. The sangria is good, the empanadas are excellent and we love the Paella. We have never been disappointed with any of our choices. Our all time favorite is the Pulpo Escabeche (octopus). It is amazing with just enough heat. You will not be disappointed with you decision to dine here. Check out 2sweetheartsreview on Instagram and comment below where you would like me to review next.”

“Hosted a Bachlorette dinner party for 8 in outside garden. The staff did a wonderful job setting the table with the flowers and candles I provided. They focused on the details and the table was beautiful! Our waitress was attentive and the service flowed very nicely. The staff was very accommodating. I highly recommend Indigo for good service, pretty surroundings, and delicious food!”

“Always great food and service.”

“First time at the restaurant . The entire staff went out of their way to assure the food allergies were addressed and we were safe in our selections. Overall the selections from appetizers , entrees and dessert were excellent . Oysters from Prince Edward Island were outstanding . Appetizer fish was different with salmon belly and preparation was perfect. Wagyu beef as always a great piece of meat. Dessert lemon pie superb .an enjoyable evening thanks to our server, Jill”

“A thoroughly charming and popular spot. Great menu and excellent attention by staff. The food is ordinarily great. On this evening, the main courses (fish, chicken) were excellent, but the sides (carbs, veggies) were barely warm. Management was very considerate when billing. Definitely going back whenever we're in the area.”

“Everything! The best aspect of Hola Cafe? Their staff…. Every one of them. They treat all that come into the Cafe like family! Love you guys!”

“Outstanding menu! Everything fresh! The best Margarita since San Antonio! Excellent service! 5 Stars!”

“Amazing gluten free desserts that don’t taste like they’re gluten free. You’ve gotta try it.”

“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.”

“Customer service was great! Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend! And Nettie ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) was very helpful”

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

“Our grandkids loved this - and we loved watching them. One suggestion - gutters guards in the gutters (like the big lanes do) to cut down on frustration! Happier kids = happier adults = more returning customers!!!”

“We loved the unique touches that make this bar unique. We sat at the bar and were chatting with some of the locals. The bartender was attentive and made some delicious drinks. We got to meet PJ and his dog. Will definitely go back next time we are in town.”

“The best place in town for coffee!”

“Wonderful experience. Great food and everyone was incredibly kind.”

My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!”

“We’ve tried most of the Asian restaurants in the area and we like Yummy Sushi the best! Great Chinese entrees and the best hibachi I have ever had!”

“Best Italian Restaurant in North Florida , what a delicious dinner , the lasagna was delicious and the seafood pasta fantastic.I highly recommend .”

“We had the absolute privilege of coming to this restaurant for our monthly date night, and we were even so lucky to have joy as our server she stayed late and made sure that we were fully taken care of. It was a fantastic experience with her even better sushi recommendation we will be coming back and will be recommending to anybody in the area.”

“Our first visit was great. There was a Gouda Mac & cheese with grilled chicken that was awesome. Came back the next day for lunch and they completely redid the menu, taking it off and the dessert we were eyeing. Hope they bring it back in the future!”

“My husband and I decided to give this place a try on a whim for date night. So glad we did! The sushi was fresh, hibachi was wonderful and the staff was very friendly! We will be back!”

“The Falcon's Nest is on the Omni Amelia property and can be crowded at times. There is a good size bar and plenty of table seating. Tends to be crowded on the weekends with live entertainment”

“We dined for brunch on 3/9/24 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was a VERY rainy morning which meant there were no outdoor tables for anyone. There must have 10 people waiting for a table in their reception area at the time of our reservation. In spite of this, the staff remained smiling and cheerful while they delivered a great dining experience. Their hostess worked very hard to communicate the status of everyone’s place in line along with those customers who had made reservations as well, again with a very pleasant demeanor. Now to the food! They have quite possibly the best French Toast I have ever had. The brioche bread was thick and perfectly prepared. My wife had their Caprese omelette and cheese grits which was also just terrific. The wait staff were attentive without overdoing things. Coffee cups never got empty before a refill was offered. One of our group was a tea drinker and she had a teapot of hot water and tea bags seemingly within seconds of ordering. The highlight of the meal came when we mentioned that one of our diners (the lady with the tea) was celebrating her birthday. The owner of the restaurant, a lovely woman, came out and actually gave gifted her the tea service that was on our table! She would not hear of us paying for the set and said she wanted to make a gift of the set. Completely unexpected!! I cannot recommend this restaurant any higher. In spite of a very difficult morning, none of which was their doing, the staff and management made everyone’s morning better!”

“We have lunch or dinner here at least 1x month. The food and salads are always fresh and delicious. Great Friendly wait staff and a friendly caring managers.”

“the absolute 2 best pasta dishes my wife and I have ever had were devoured last evening. After a long day we didn't feel like going out and decided to pick up and take home. Everything bite was perfect. I can not recommend this place enough. The highest rating is well deserved.”

“Awesome food and service!!!”

“I have been eating here for years and the food is consistently fantastic. There is a reason this place is always busy and it is the food! Authentic Thai cooking by you guys is ALWAYS worth the wait!”

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

“We were visiting from out of town and stumbled across this gem of a Chinese restaurant—and wow, we are so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with clean tables and a calm, relaxing vibe.

The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. every single dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. The portions were generous, the ingredients were high quality, and everything tasted authentic. You can tell this place takes pride in offering real Chinese cuisine—not the overly greasy, generic stuff you find at some takeout spots.

Service was quick and friendly, and prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality. Whether you're local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit if you’re looking for the best Chinese food in town.”

“Went there yesterday-FABULOUS! Solved my menu selections on the spot for an upcoming wine and cheese party. Will be coming back for sure!!!!!”

“This is a great store. But this review is to say they are such nice people. I was looking for a specific gift this past Christmas that I thought they would have, but they didn't carry. They were very helpful in pointing out one of their competitors a few blocks down that could help me. Very much appreciated!”

“Wonderful food- great service. Red curry is delicious”

“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.”

“We go to KP's for lunch 4-5X every week. Their daily specials are great as is their extensive # of regular menu items. The portions are more than adequate and their prices are VERY reasonable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a little off the beaten path, which is perfect for us locals and anyone else who has eaten there. They also serve several white/red wines, 4 draft beers, and more than a dozen bottled beers. Go there once and you'll be hooked. Warning: it can get pretty busy on weekdays between 11:30-1:00.”

“Coastal pizza is always amazing!! This is the best pizza we’ve ever had for years now! Nothing compares. Even the house salad is just so good for no reason. Staff is super friendly and on top of it. Love it!”

The place was clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and they made my sandwich exactly how I wanted it even gave me a great suggestion for a new sauce combo I hadn’t tried before. Everything tasted super fresh, especially the veggies and the bread. The line moved quickly, and the overall vibe was really welcoming. You can tell the team here cares about their work. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location!”

“We went to get frozen yogurt. Half of the machines were not working but there were still 3 choices and lots and lots of topping choices. The frozen yogurt was very good. Self- serve.”

“Found this restaurant a few months ago. The food is good. Went back today for lunch and I got the steak and cheese in a wrap and my husband got a calzone. Only compliant would be the cheese and wrap for my sandwich wasn't toasted or melted which could have made the steak and cheese with grilled onions slightly better. Otherwise the calzone my husband had was good and our pizza from our first visit was good as well.”

“Delicious bagels and friendly service!”

“Love all the seafood entrees and the large selection of sides (one of the few restaurants in the area where you can get a baked potato). If you like clam chowder, you won’t find any better than here!”

“This store is a wonderful place to shop and since the manager has gotten rid of some employees that were not a good fit for this family store it is so much better the guy named mike and the one who wrote the last review is who i am talking about. Keep up the great job.”

“Wonderful evening dining at this quaint restaurant. We started with the Orange & Fennel salad. This was very fresh and delicious. Next my husband had the Ragu which he loved. It was a chunky ragu full of flavor, see pic. I had the Sicilia which had cherry tomato’s and fresh herbs perfectly delicious. We ate every strand of their homemade pasta in our bowls. Next we shared the Veal PizzaIola. We both wished we weren’t sharing, it was so tender and delicious. We enjoyed a bottle of their Nere’ Sicilian Red wine with dinner. All was followed by a homemade tiramisu and double espresso. While we were stuffed we had to try it. See pic below. We loved everything…the owner was extremely kind & welcoming to all patrons as were the waitstaff. Delicious authentic Italian food done perfectly.”

“A thoroughly charming and popular spot. Great menu and excellent attention by staff. The food is ordinarily great.
