I came here with a group of girls on a Thursday to end our girls' night. We originally wanted to check out the rooftop bar but was told that the bar was closed up there and it was too dark outside to see the ocean. So we decided to just sit inside for an appetizer and drinks. I got a cup of she crab soup and a nonalcoholic drink that tastes similar to a pina colada. The she crab soup tasted good. I initially thought they added what felt like popping boba into the soup which made for an interesting texture. It turns out it was actually smoked trout caviar which is something I never had before. The drink was alright, but not worth spending $11 on a non alcoholic drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope to experience the rooftop bar experience next time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bartenders were super friendly and the restaurant is really beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had nice views of the beach even though it was gloomy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shared the cornbread which was nice and warm and slightly crispy and I got the fish entree. Thoroughly enjoyed the crusted fish and veggies. We also shared a chocolate dessert with ice cream. Loved the crunchies, nice touch! read more

I have dined here a few times and have been impressed by the food, beverage, and the service each time. The space is definitely high end so you can absolutely dress up to enjoy a sit down meal. Additionally, the bar is a little more relaxed and I have seen some Sunkissed beach go-ers enjoying the bar fresh out the shower haha I highly recommend the corn bread appetizer- it comes with lovely whipped butter. And their light tequila drinks are quite refreshing! read more

1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop - Devouring this corn bread and the coconut tequila bevy. Delish! - Bars Near Me - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a lovely dinner, even though it started off a bit rocky after not getting an outdoor table upon request.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were plenty of unoccupied tables on the deck and we ended up being crammed at a 4 top with 5 people inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were with Cabana club members and that didn't make a difference. We got over it and dealt with the seating situation. We loved the She Crab soup, a twist on New England clam chowder with crab. Dinner was all served with fresh ingredients. Short ribs, fresh catch and butternut squash ravioli did not disappoint. Servers were professional and friendly. Thank you Jill and Jesus for your attention. You made up for the lack of caring from the hostess and manager. They really should have gone out of their way to make us happy with seating especially since no one l ever took those outside tables and they went empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was very loud and disturbed our parents who had hearing challenges.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall this is a nice location and we won't hold the seating situation against them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Instead of being honest and telling us, there's no tables available by the window they created one by the sliding glass door that the servers go in and out to serve the people on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The other side is facing the kitchen where the servers walk back-and-forth to get the food and the guest go in and out of the door right next to my husband in order to go to the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The price was too high for this aggravation. Service was absolutely terrible. In addition they had one server working her butt off for so many tables she had to do inside ants outside. I think the Marriott owns this property and shame on you Marriott. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did wait a half an hour for a server to take our order not to mention the aggravation of all the hot air are blowing on us at the table, the makeshift table by the window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would like a refund, but like everybody would like a refund whoever would experience this and we will never get it. And we will never go back and we want everyone to know that if you're gonna ask for a table with the window, you need to lie and tell them you are a party of four. read more

1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop - Table for 2 by the window - Bars Near Me - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Overall: 3.5/5. Ok food, good service, nice ocean view, drinks could be stronger especially for the price, overpriced food for what you're getting but with decent taste & preparation. Still think food is lacking for the upscale price. You can charge to your room if you're a Marriott guest which helps if you have Marriott credit. Favorite dish: burrata (Came with a cinnamon squash jam, which was delicious. Bread also delightfully toasted). Other dishes we tried: - We tried the agave reposado bone in short rib. We liked the pepper marmalade in the short rib. - The lobster raviolo felt lighter because the sauce had a tangy taste, which was nice. It also had a good amount of lobster and minimal pasta. - The empanadas did not have much flavor and we would not recommend it. It was very dry. - She crab soup was very nice because of the amount of lump crab in it. Details: The food and drinks is over priced for what you get. Food only the slightest hint above average but when you take into account the price, we personally would expect more flavor for that price point. We made reservations because we were told that it can fill up. It did actually fill up later in the evening so we do recommend reservations. We were also able to request a table with a view which really helped increase our enjoyment of the location. Parking: The parking situation is very confusing. We were told that there was only minimal parking for restaurant visitors and hotel guests. The website says that there's complimentary valet parking so this seems to be in direct opposition to what is on the website. We were guests at the hotel so we ended up taking the shuttle which was convenient but we do wish the parking situation was clearer. Service: The service was good. We liked that we were not bothered frequently. The server checked in on us at the appropriate amount of times, and the spacing of the dishes was also good, which we really appreciate it. read more

I had one of the most depressing meals here, mostly because of my lame dining companion, but also because of the experience. I'm glad I didn't have this bad date at a place I actually liked. But there is always some good in everything bad: Valet parking was nice. The view is amazing. And running into neighbors, colleagues and friends at the roof top bar afterwards was a nice redemption for the night. The prices are very high. The food is OK. The drinks were trying to be good but lacked punch. The best part of the meal was the crisp salad. Skip the octopus shrimp app. Cheese empanadas didn't live up to expectations. Poke bowl was run of the mill. The daily catch was $48 and nothing spesh. The service was a little absent. But that's perhaps because they could tell that this was not a happy couple and kept their distance. The cherry on top for this horrible date night was a month later, getting accused of having a tryst at a Marriott because that's what the restaurant charge shows up as, on your credit card statement. I will always remember 1912 as the site of a final date in a relationship that needed to end. read more

Let me start with the service 10/10 CC was absolutely AMAZING! Thank you CC for an awesome dining experience! I so badly wanted to give the restaurant a 5/5 but sadly it was only mid. I got the braised short rib and the sweet glaze it is served with was not my thing. It was very sweet similar to ketchup. The chilled shrimp was great. My husband enjoyed the oyster rockefeller and love the Mac and cheese with shrimp. After dinner we ventured off to the rooftop. Amazing view and live music. The rooftop is a VIBE. read more

Came for drinks with my mom and my bestie mom's last day visiting. The weather was perfect! The drinks are tasty but expensive even for PVB but you are at a Marriott bar so compared to hotel prices still a little high. We got there right after opening and so didn't have to wait long for drinks and got seats easily. Be aware they only have valet. Also if you have a Marriott card get your points!! read more

Terrible service and Customer focus. Made reservations for a special occasion, Anniversary. We were there well before the restaurant was crowded and requested outdoor seating. There were seven tables available and the hostess refused to seat us not once, but twice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The setting is beautiful the service is terrible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu is overpriced. I have very high status with Marriott and it was never acknowledged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although this place has a fabulous location I would warn anybody about spending an excessive amount on a place with such terrible customer focus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wow what a place! I am living in Colorado right now and was in the need for some fresh seafood. 1912 did the trick. We ordered their east coast oysters to start, oysters are one of my favorite foods. They did not disappoint we were off to a great start! For our entrees I got their Kinilaw. I really like ceviche and dishes like that, which is what the Kinilaw was. It was INCREDIBLE. Totally cured my longing for some good seafood! My husband got there catch of the day, he loved it! I also got there blossom on the boulevard to drink. It was so good and the presentation made it even better! The restaurant was very clean and had nice decor. We sat outside because the view is literally the beach! Great happy hour which not just reduced prices on drinks but also food! Only thing I can say if I am being nit-picky is I wish that the tiramisu crème brûlée had the layering that a typical tiramisu has instead of just a tiramisu flavored pudding. A great place for a nice date! Thanks 1912 for the great food and great service. read more

Terrible Not attentive to any part of experience, meal or service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sit outside and the fans were wide open even with 60 degree and high winds when asked to turn fans off the staff said we cannot because some are broken.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After 45 minutes we inquired about our dinner, then we received salads immediately followed by cold entrees. read more

First timer here! Love love love the view! I read through the reviews, knowing that the place would be busy so I called ahead and made a reservation for nine of us. When we arrived at 4 PM the place was empty because they were just opened but soon they got really crowded, which makes the room lively. They didn't have live music the night that I went so that was a bummer. We had a reservation for the outside table but because it was cold, they accommodated us to dine inside the private room. Starting out, we shared the Rockefeller oysters, I couldn't really taste the oyster due to the sauce being over-powered. Next is the flatbread, which is flavorful & I enjoyed those more. Entree I also tried the catch of the day, which was grilled fish with a bed of risotto. The fish was on the bland side, but the risotto was really good. I also had their IPA beer, super refreshing with a hint of orange. The cocktails are yummy too but definitely pricey! Highly recommend this place for special occasions, also complimentary valet parking! read more

The ambiance and decor are lovely. Really nice vibe in the place. The menu was well designed and had a nice selection of options. But, we found the food not to our taste. Not bad exactly, but a little on the sweet side - even my seafood and veggie heavy entree tasted like it had some sugar in the sauce. We got a dozen oysters and they looked like they had been sitting out for a while. They were dry and unusually small. The service was very friendly, but sluggish. The waits for drinks and food were a little too long. What frustrated us the most was that this place bills itself as a craft cocktail bar. It is not. The bartenders did not seem very knowledgeable about cocktails and they did not have the ingredients to even make several classic/common cocktails. And the ingredients they did have were basic. If you are really into good cocktails, keep looking. This place was fine, but nothing to write home about. read more

i ordered the swordfish, there was a huge bloodline in it, and it was terribly overcooked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wr asked to be seated on the patio, and they sat us inside. 12 empty tables outside while we ate our dinner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. the food was incredibly marginal and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was freezing inside the restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. we were hoping this would be a favorite as we just moved here, but I doubt we will ever go again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was fine and the views were pretty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but I have never been to such a nice resteraunt with such high prices to have such terrible food.

Came into 1912 on a Friday night for the first time. We made sure to make a reservation ahead of time but came early so we could get a drink on the rooftop before dinner. We arrived and valet is the only option for parking so just a tip there. Most the the valets to take Venmo which made it very convenient for us since I never have cash. We got to the rooftop found a spot and started looking over the drink menu. Drinks are on the pricey side but makes sense you are paying for the view. The Old Fashioned wasn't doing to for me so I went with a Dirty Vodka Martini with Bleu Cheese Olives. Our drinks same out and I will say it was a good sized martini and it was good too. I will say the Bleu Cheese in the Olives were pretty good too. Better then the last few I have had. We then came down for dinner and I made sure to order another martini since I like the first one so much and it was just as good as the first. We then had to go with a few apps of course. We went with the Hearth Baked Skillet Corn Bread and the 1912 Empanadas. Our appetizer came out with about 10 minutes. Both we good for sure. I thought the empanadas we a little dry but that happens with pulled meat but they do come with a Datil Aioli and Chimichurri which really helped out with that. The Corn Bread didn't blow me away either but the Jams and Butter Sugar Cinnamon Butter again helped to enhance it. I was have a tough time trying to figure out what to get for my entrée so I asked our waitress about the Pan Seared Daily Catch she told me it was Triple Tail which she said is simple to Mahi, Grouper, and Snapper which I love so I went for it. Plus it same with Purple Grits and I do love my seafood and grits. Once my food came out it looked great and they also did a great job with the plating. The sear on the Triple Tail was very well done and gave it a nice crisp. The only problem there was I think it had gotten over cooked because of that. There were a number of dry bites for sure but I will say the Carrot Puree and once again those Purple Grits did help that part out. I will say we had a nice dinner and was great seeing friends. Maybe next time though we would come back for just drinks and the beach views since none of the food blew me away and like it said early it is pricey. read more

So we went to the rooftop bar to get a drink on a beautiful day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scenery was amazing! Beautiful views and a nice atmosphere with live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It took a long time for someone to come over to take our order but it looked like they were hit all at once, so no big deal. We ordered a drink and a flat bread. The drink took about a half hour and after another half hour we asked where the flatbread was. We were told that it never got put in to their system. So we spent an hour there for one weak drink cause we cancelled the flatbread, but the scenery was beautiful. My criticism is if you are going to charge premium prices then you should have good service. This visit was not good service, but the scenery was beautiful! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting 1912 Ocean Bar & Rooftop Lounge for the first time in September. My friends and I were celebrating our birthdays (3 of us). First, we found a couch without a view. We ordered drinks, which were pretty pricey, $16-$18. Then a few seats along the front, with an ocean view, were available. I hopped on it and we moved. The view was amazing and the weather was perfect with the sun nearly setting. Our server seemed overwhelmed, so we only had one drink. I suggest hiring a few more servers as this spot was crowded. I will go back again, but will probably stick with beer or a seltzer next time as the cocktails were a little too much for me. read more

We really enjoyed drinks and dinner at the 1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop on December 23, 2023. We arrived at our reservation time and took the elevator up to the restaurant. It was a little too chilly and windy to sit outside, but I did wander out there to enjoy the view for a few minutes. The sight and sound of the ocean was mesmerizing. We perused the extensive drink menu and the guys each ordered a Bourbon Smoke cocktail and us ladies decided to share a bottle of the Quilt Cabernet. We all enjoyed our drinks. For dinner, scallops and a shrimp dish was ordered. Hubby and I are accustomed to sharing meals these days to keep the calories at bay and quite frankly we can't eat that much - food portions at restaurants are crazy huge. We decided to share the Autumn Crisp Salad and the Pan Seared Daily Catch, which was bass. They served the fish we were sharing in a beautifully presented plate for each of us and it was delicious. We highly recommend the 1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop! read more

Amazing view, and great drinks! Service could be improved, they seem to be understaffed. The server was super friendly and very nice, just the only one on a Saturday night.

Definitely worth the visit and can't wait to try again when the weather cools off a bit. read more

The 3rd floor -Rooftop Bar with views of the ocean is priceless. Get a drink and enjoy! The 2nd floor -Restaurant ... has a bar, table seating inside and balcony. Along with a party room with family table for 8 to 10 people. Server, Brandy was great. Hospitable. Welcoming. Friendly. Food delivery was timely. The menu is limited, however the specials were an added bonus. Tastes varied among the group ... everyone loved the soup; and the Stromboli. Oysters a bit small. Fish and chicken good. Rib had lots of fat and was simply ok ... not a lot of flavor. Filet was ok. 8 adults roughly spent $1000 when drinks were added in along with celebratory dessert. read more

Located on Ponte Vedra Beach, this restaurant has knocked it outside the park! Valet Parking is so convenient! The building has a elevator and 3 floors including the rooftop bar with an amazing view. Reservations are required for now, so call before you go. We were seated outside under the fans and even though it was 98*, we were very comfortable. Business casual was the attire and the ocean view again, beautiful! Service was swift and on point. Our waitress kept our water glasses full . We ordered the she crab soup which is incredible. It was full of crab and so creamy. I highly recommend this place! Oh, and the chef, Melanie is so sweet and friendly! read more

1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop - Menu - Bars Near Me - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Mah Wife and I decided to have a date night last night. The place was busy. Both the rooftop on the third floor and the main restaurant on the second floor were packed and lively. We got a table on the outdoor dining area just on the second floor. There was a nice breeze coming from the Atlantic and each table had ceiling fans so it wasn't that bad. Plus it was nice and quiet and we could carry on a conversation in a normal tone. We started things off with some mocktails. She got the Faux-Pache. It's made with Fever Tree Ginger Beer, pineapple, lime, cinnamon, and mint. I had the Almond Sangria Fizz made with Orgeat, white grapes, orange, lemon, lime, and club soda. Both mocktails were fantastic and refreshing, but we both liked the Almond Sangria Fizz for its light fruitiness. For starters we shared the Summer Crisp Salad and She Crab Soup. The Summer Crisp salad is made with a variety of summer lettuces, pecans, blistered grapes, bacon vinaigrette, and a fried piece of scamorza cheese. This was a tasty salad. I loved the blistered grapes and fried cheese. The She Crab soup was stunning. It's made with lump crab, roe, chives, sherry and garnished with a pane carasau. It looked beautiful and tasted like the ocean. It had so much crab and the roe was a nice pop of texture and saltiness. A must-have for every meal. Since Mah Wife is trying to eat healthier, she got the 1912 "Meatloaf," a plant-based meatloaf with an heirloom tomato sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes, and charred veggies. I'm not a fan of Beyond Meat, so this wasn't for me, but she liked it. Since I'm not looking to eat healthier, I got the Lobster Mac & Cheese. So creamy and delicious. And lest you think it's just small bits of lobster, fear not. There were whole claws and other large chunks of lobster meat swimming in that cheese sauce. And to finish things off, a rainbow over the ocean. If you're looking for a casual upscale dinner with a view, 1912 is the place to go. read more

We had dinner here on vacation last week and everything was great! We spent almost three hours on the patio. We started with drinks.

It was so good and unique. I'm sad to think I'll never have something like that again! We ended the night sharing the Pan Seared Fresh Catch. We loved that as well! Our service was awesome too.

1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop - Faux-Pache mocktail - Bars Near Me - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop review This was my first time at this restaurant. Initially, I was drawn to it because of its beachfront location, great ambiance, and stunning views. We chose a chilly day to visit, so we ended up sitting inside, but we still had an incredible view of the beach. This was, without a doubt, the best meal we've had in this area. We started with a couple of appetizers: * 1912 Rockefeller Oysters - Bacon lardons, fennel sherry cream, Manchego, spinach, and herb panko. The oysters were fantastic--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. * Aguachile Ceviche - Shrimp, Spanish octopus, daily catch, quicos, avocado, red onion, cucumbers, cilantro, and watermelon radish. The ceviche was outstanding--fresh, vibrant, and full of bold flavors. For the main course, I chose the Daily Catch, which was served with fregola sarda, roasted tomato, basil, arugula, and Grana Padano. The server explained that fregola is similar to couscous but larger in size. I opted to substitute it with mushrooms instead, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The fish, a beautifully cooked sea bass, had a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior--absolutely perfect. The locally sourced mushrooms were a delicious mix, complementing the greens and roasted tomatoes wonderfully. This was easily the best dish I've had in a long time. My friend ordered the Agave Reposado Bone-In Short Rib, which came with creamy polenta, pepper marmalade, and a micro salad. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the polenta was rich and smooth. The pepper marmalade had a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, tying the dish together beautifully. To finish, we shared the Espresso Brûlée--Amaretti cookies, candied orange, and Abuelita hot chocolate Chantilly (which can be made gluten-free without the cookie). Wow. We were at a loss for words at how decadent and delicious this dessert was. The brûlée itself was silky and creamy, with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust. The whipped Chantilly was light and airy, and the candied orange peel added an incredible contrast to the espresso flavor. Paired with a café latte, it was pure perfection. The service was top-notch. Our waitress was bubbly, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We even had the chance to meet the chef and personally compliment him on a job well done. Since moving to this area three years ago, I've struggled to find restaurants that compare to the culinary excellence of the D.C. metro area. However, 1912 Ocean Bar and Rooftop is the first restaurant that truly meets that standard. I highly recommend it and will absolutely be returning. read more

Not much variety on the menu. Octopus in most of the seafood appetizers and the soup was too rich. Cocktail was super sweet and the drinks were underwhelming. Service was ok but if you're dining on the patio then beware they may lock you out there. Patio doors didn't seem to have handles in the outside and wait staff didn't seem to look and notice that I was trying to get through. Luckily one door was ajar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise a great view on the ocean if that's the main objective.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ponte Vedra beach had little charm and a lot of pomp, beaches are almost completely inaccessible, blocked by a wall of fancy residences miles and miles long; it feels like a crime to monopolize the beach like that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Inhospitable place, will not be returning. read more

Very disappointing evening. Initially cocktails wet well. But as we ordered, the waitress was not paying attention. Instead of the dozen oysters we ordered, we received only six. When I pointed out we ordered 12 , instead of an apology, the response was that diners didn't usually order a dozen. Then there was the long delay between the appetizers and the entrees. The waitress came by three times and stating that the entrees would be right out. When one of entrees came out, catch of the day, it was dry, as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for all that time. Otherwise, don't waste your time here, except for the cocktails and the ocean view. read more
