“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.“

“We came to the OMNI Hotel to celebrate New Year’s, and on January 1st we stopped by this restaurant for dinner. And what can I say? Everything was wonderful.
The view from the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the staff working here are simply amazing: warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant.
But the food deserves special mention.
Please forgive me, I once again failed to take a photo of the full dish, because I started eating immediately ))
The goat cheese and strawberry salad was incredibly fresh, as if everything had just been picked straight from the garden. Crisp, light, and absolutely delicious.
The lobster tail was one of the best I’ve ever had in my life, perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor.
And of course, the key lime pie.
You won’t see it in the photos, because my husband and I shared it and finished it very quickly. In fact, we ordered another one to go for our son. I’m pretty sure he’ll say it’s the best key lime pie he’s ever had.
If you’re staying here, don’t miss this restaurant.
And when it comes to dessert, don’t even hesitate. Order the key lime pie. Or better yet, order two! Haha :))“

“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.“

“Great lunch spot while visiting Amelia Island, $30 brisket nachos but could feed a family (1/4lb) & Saturday Philly cheesesteak special. Prices are higher, expected with a resort but you truly get your moneys worth. Great staff & service and atmosphere with incredible tributes to our Air Force/armed forces.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Agreed with other posts that this place is a hidden gem! There is a fire pit with beautiful views of the 9th hole. You can also play corn hole with the family!

Food is delicious & price is very reasonable. Overall, one of our fav spots on the Omni Amelia Island property.“

“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“
