Food and wine were both excellent in quality, value for money and selection. It really is great to have options like this on Amelia island. As for the service, it was clumsy, inconsistent and rude - which was a real shame as it could be easily corrected if they were open to listen to customers feedback, which they didn’t.

We really loved the restaurant that used to occupy this charming location so we weren’t expecting anything, and we were woefully underinformed and so delighted with Indigo. The server was knowledgeable and friendly but not hovering… but the food…Everyhing was a slam dunk. Duck, salmon, escargot, bacon, butter cake-all truly incredible. We will enthusiastically be back again and again!

Highly recommend Indigo for a nice meal in historic downtown Fernandina Beach. The fish features + warm butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream were outstanding.

Local friends set up dinner reservations here when we were in the area. They nor us had been here before. It’s obvious this is a place to dine not eat and we looked forward to catching up over a good meal.
The restaurant is situated in an updated single family house in downtown. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and seated in the alcove dining area. Seating was comfortable but table spacing was a bit close and the noise level just a little loud during dinner with all tables occupied. Overall the interior is fairly non de script with not much character. Table linens and glassware were nice.
We ordered glasses of wine to start from a fairly decent list of beverages. The menu on the other hand was limited between both appetizers and entrees. Could be due to the kitchen size or keeping the menu manageable.
For starters we ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese and the Escargot with Bone Marrow to share. The lobster M&C had a great flavor with a little while lobster tail. Would have nice to have a bit more M&C to share. The escargot was cooked and served on top of a split in half bone of exposed marrow and some toasted bread slices. Really nice flavor with the escargot and marrow. However no juices to dip the escargot in.
For main I had the sea bass special. Nice presentation on the dish with a nicely browned sea bass filet. Unfortunately the red potato it was on was warmer than the fish. The green sauce made for a nice flavor with the fish along with the asparagus spears.
My partner got the crab cake appetizer for a dinner. The crabcakes were a mix of lump and shredded crab meat and had good flavor.
The other couple that was with us got the seared scallops and the flounder. Both came out with nice presentation. The scallops were lightly brown and looked absolutely delicious. They finished their entrées.
For dessert, we split the banana pudding cheesecake four ways. It was an interesting dessert. It was basically banana pudding on what appeared to be a banana bread like crust. It was tasty.
Our server was Caitlyn and she did a great job. She was attentive, knowledgeable, kept checking up on us and was not overbearing. We were never rushed during our meal.

We have gone to Le Clos several times and thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. Living in Jacksonville Beach, we can easily take short road trips to Fernandina for the day and Le Clos was always top of our list, it was disappointing to find out they had closed. We went last weekend and walking by deciding to take a look inside. Surprisingly there were people in there and tables set but not many customers as it was pretty early for dinner. We discovered they were open and they seated us right away. Our server, Amanda, was very attentive and sweet. We got our favorite escargot, it was sitting on top of bone marrow which I don't eat but it was easy to pick off the escargot so we were both happy. We shared a beet salad and duck entree. I had never tasted duck, it was better than I thought duck would be. We were very happy that even though Le Clos is no more, Indigo seems to be just as awesome. We will be going back whenever we go to Fernandina. Highly recommend, note that it is a little pricey but overall reasonable for the quality of food and service.

I'll preface this with, fantastic food. So this review is not a critique of the fare. Where this place takes the L is in service. First, we were a walk in. Inside was booked. We opted then for the rear patio service. It was relatively warm out but we were assured fans were outside to move air. Well there were fans. Like 2 units about 20" & set far enough away from the dining area that they made little impact. Now this would've been fine had service not been at a snails pace. Which doesn't make sense since the place wasn't exactly packed. We were 15 minutes to get 2 of 4 appetizers. Another 5-10 minutes for the other two to make it to the table. Finished those up & we were a solid 30 minutes before entrees. We had no update from the waitress or apologies on the delay. Checks came & sat for another 15 before I had to ask the manager to take them. Another 15 before they got picked up & brought back. So all in all that's 2 hours outside in the heat for service. Not great. What could've been better? Communication. We had no communication from the waitress on delays. And when you're outdoors in the heat, that's not a good look. Would recommend indoor dining only at this location & lots of time on your hands.
So lucky to have found this hidden gem. We chanced upon this restaurant whilst looking for somewhere for dinner on a very busy Saturday night - so lucky for us that we did. We dined outside and the ambience was sophisticated, the food and wine delicious and the service was impeccable. 10/10

Service was so slow, we requested our dinners to go. The food was good, but expensive for what you get. The atmosphere is clean, but very small.

Absolutely love Indigo!! Chet and his staff are wonderful. Our first experience at Indigo was so delicious. Every item on the menu is elevated and above and beyond the typical meal on the island. We loved Indigo so much we ended up choosing and booking it for our wedding rehearsal dinner. The best decision we could’ve made. Chet and his staff (we love Caroline and Jordan) made it the most perfect night. The food was amazing and the environment was next level. If you’re looking for a date night spot, a large dinner group spot, or an event space, Indigo is the place for you!!

We were frequent diners at LeClos, the predecessor of Indigo. But this was our first visit to Indigo since it opened a few months ago. Overall, I am glad to report the food remains outstanding. The tuna tartar appetizer was remarkable and is highly recommended. My duck entree was special with fabulous taste and a lightness rare in many duck dishes. My wife ordered the scallops dinner and found the scallops well cooked but under-seasoned. However, she loved the accompanying risotto. Service was efficient but not warm as the staff seemed rushed. Our biggest complaint...and a serious one...was the sound level inside the restaurant. It was so loud it was literally difficult to hear my wife sitting across from me. We asked our server if it was always so loud (since LeClos was not painful in decibels) or if we just had loud nearby diners that night. She said "unfortunately, yes" and suggested we consider outside seating in the future since it is more quiet.
