24 Best Seafood Restaurants in Fernandina Beach

“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!“

“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!“

“Visited for the first time this weekend blown away by the hospitality owner and staff went above and beyond ! If you're looking for a great experience this is the place ! Will be back -Sydney“

“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!“

“Delicious lobstah rolls and nice atmosphere!“

“From the moment we arrived we were treated as if we were the only diners. Our server (Patrick) was attentive, anticipatory, and a gracious host. Food and drinks were well prepared and tasty. Not our first time to Bar Zin nor will it be our last.“

“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.“

“You can't go wrong with the hidden crowd. All of the plates I saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious. The plate that came to my table was 30 shrimp for around $17. That's a lot of shrimp for a real bargain. You get two sides also. These people know how to cook and they have hired people who know how to take care of their customers. It is a wonderful place. Best fried shrimp on the planet!

Parking: Caution! The potholes in the parking lot are larger than some of the cars I see you driving. Be careful!“

“My wife and I had lunch here today. The food was wonderful, plentiful and appropriately priced. Our co-waitress was an absolutely fantastic young (emphasis on young) lady who did a great job taking care of us. We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant.“

“If you know the history of Amelia Island, then you need to stop by Down Under Restaurant to experience their shrimp dishes. The atmosphere and the service was great!“

“Always great food and service.“

“The office is dumpy. Was really worried that the rooms were awful due to the office and layout of motel. Rooms were great! Bed too soft for me, due to back issues.., but very nice and comfortable for my husband. All in all I would recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ron was an excellent server. I asked a lot of menu questions, and he was very patient with me at noon on a Friday. Thank you, Ron. I had a (bakers) dozen raw oysters, and they were quite good. Mediumish size. My lunch guests had the grouper and the shrimp tacos. They both looked super yummy.

The view was spectacular!!

I definitely will be back!“
