So cute how this is located inside the antique shop!
Reasonable prices. Was excited for the baked potato soup that was listed but lady said they didn't have any and forgot to update the soup of the day, bummer. I opted for the BLT which was pretty good. My friend had the sandwich that had the apples in it and that was really good! Took a Cuban to go for hubs, ofc had a bite - very good! and I will come back.

We took all the kids here for lunch on Christmas Eve, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We made a reservation, but didn’t really need one—there’s plenty of space both on the patio and inside. We had a group of six.
Our server was absolutely on her A-game. Quick wit, great recommendations, and nonstop hustle. We waited for nothing.
We started with the Drunken Cheesy Bread, and I’ll say it plainly: nobody does cheesy bread better than this place. The marinara that came with it was the perfect addition. Next was the Bavarian pretzel—giant, served on a hanger with beer cheese and mustard. Soft, warm, and it honestly reminded me of fresh pretzels from a bakery in Germany.
I also ordered the Burrata Caprese, and everything on that plate paired beautifully. The balsamic drizzle was the cherry on top.
A couple of us ordered the Fernandina French Dip. The short ribs were tender and full of flavor, the bread was perfect, and everything inside was stacked to the point of falling out. The au jus had great flavor without being overpowering.
We also had the berry salad, which had a lot going on in the best way—fruit, candied pecans, cheese, and a fantastic poppyseed dressing.
My wife ordered the grouper sandwich, which was a thick slab of perfectly cooked fish on a delicious bun. I got the spicy coleslaw on the side, which our server told me had wasabi in it. I wish all coleslaw was made that way.
We finished with the chocolate six-layer cake and the peanut butter pie. Both came with fresh fruit, chocolate drizzle, and fresh cream—absolutely decadent desserts.
The entire meal was a delight. Multiple staff members brought food out, and what I assume was the manager stopped by to talk with us about what we ordered—excellent food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. We will most certainly be going back.

Brunch here was wonderful! This place fills up fast so I suggest going early. Indoor and outdoor seating is available too. The food was very flavourful and tasty. Portion size was generous and filling. The waitresses we interacted with were both quick, efficient, attentive, and friendly.

Seriously one of the best restaurants on the beach. My wife and I were in town for 3 days over the holidays. We ate here every day. Happy hour is great, get the meatballs and the bread. Staff was great. Huge shoutout to Devon. Thanks again

The redfish was amazing and the brussel sprouts were soooo good. Service was great. Our waitress recommended the redfish. The worst part was the wait, which was 45 minutes and there is nowhere to wait for your table so there are a lot of people standing outside right next to where you’re eating on the patio. We ended up taking a walk around the historic downtown since we would be alerted by text when our table was ready. Definitely worth trying :)

We dined here with our family of seven (including a toddler) around noon on Christmas Eve. Although the restaurant was quite busy, we were easily accommodated with indoor seating since no tables were available on the patio.

The crab cakes were delicious, the wedge salad with blue cheese crumbles was excellent, and the tomato bisque was absolutely amazing. To top it off, my house margarita was incredibly tasty. Others in our group enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and the French Dip, both of which were well received.

Even though our waitress seemed a bit distracted at times, she still came through and addressed everything we needed. Parking can be challenging, as there is only street parking available. Fortunately, we arrived by golf cart and were able to squeeze into a spot with ease.

Love it! Food is fresh, service is outstanding, atmosphere is cozy. As for now it is free street parking. The city is trying to pass paid parking.

This is an awesome place to visit. Sitting outdoors, live music and I will say the best crab cakes you will ever have. They are made fresh with very little extra filler. The rest of the food was also very delicious. Will go back definitely to try something new.
