Everything was delicious. All staff was friendly. Service was great. If I have any critique, it's that--due to this being a small location--tables are quite close to one another. At least this is the case when sitting inside. We did not see the patio, so cannot speak to that set up. Chairs were not very comfortable either. With all that said, the meal and service still makes this 5/5 for us.

Unfortunately the back patio is a mosquito feeding frenzy and the fans don't quite get the job done. We were all bitten badly before asking to be moved indoors. Luckily they were able to accommodate us. Service needs some polishing. Two of our chairs were defective and had to be swapped out. Only 3 of our 4 menus were cleared after orders were taken and despite staff returning to the table multiple times nobody would take the last menu and I finally had to place it on the empty table behind me. Server was not able to explain what "meunière" is, beyond saying " it is a sauce." Wine and beer only.

It was delicious! We left STUFFED! Would highly recommend.

This is actually my first time leaving a negative Yelp review, but unfortunately our experience…read moreleft a lot to be desired. From the moment we sat down, the restaurant seemed poorly run and understaffed. It took around 10 minutes just to get water, and the service never really improved from there. The oysters were the biggest issue. They had a foul smell and were clearly not fresh, so we sent them back. Later, while we were discussing the oysters amongst ourselves, a waiter overheard us and visibly rolled his eyes. It was incredibly unprofessional, especially considering the concern was completely valid. There was also a lot of confusion surrounding a gluten-free meal. We explained multiple times that this was due to celiac disease and not simply a preference. Despite that, numerous different employees kept bringing food to the table, and no one seemed to know whether the dish was actually gluten-free. It was frustrating and concerning given the seriousness of the situation. I ordered the lobster bisque and it was good but overly salty in my opinion

It seemed that they weren't ready for the influx of patrons. One thing to note that you park along A1A and backing out you can't always see traffic if a large vehicle is beside you so be careful.

There were two parties of 4-6 that had drinks and were being waited on. We walked on the patio and a waitress said, "just sit anywhere" 10 minutes later I asked for our server. Then I asked someone else if they were still open. Food came out to both tables about 8:35. 5 minutes later someone came out and said "sorry, our kitchen is closed" Poor service from the start. We would have ordered immediately if not ignored and then dismissed. No reason to ever come back. We want to support our local businesses, but they have to have some courtesy. We went up the coast to Sliders. They welcomed us and served us what we ordered. I want looking for a 5 star experience. I just wanted some comfort food and a drink. Low expectations will keep this place open, nothing more.

We're definitely the "spontaneous" type and rarely make reservations, but you absolutely need them here! Thankfully, we've stopped in a handful of times and Heather, the hostess, has always managed to find us a spot at the bar or in the lounge area. Let me just say, she makes the whole experience. She's the nicest person, so bubbly and friendly, and it's the perfect way to start the evening. The bar staff is wonderful and consistently attentive. On our most recent visit, my husband had the fish and I ordered the short rib. They both were delicious. The crowd is lively, the atmosphere is fun, and we truly love coming here. Here's hoping we keep arriving at just the right time to snag a space at the bar, but next time we may finally learn our lesson and make a reservation

The decor really hasn't changed; it's still one of the nicest rooms on the island. We showed up with three bottles of wine from deep in our cellar, and they handled them well. I offered to cork the 2015 Chablis, as I was a little unsure about the cork stability, and they were fine with that. (By the by, the wine was fine; absolutely wonderful, in fact). Our party of 7 ordered across the menu; the burrata starter (with an extra order of focaccia, as suggested by the server), the meatballs, the suppli, and 1/2 dozen of the east coast oysters. The oysters were great; small, shallow cup, briny and fresh. The suppli were small, but cut into bite size portions, we shared them around, and the taste was all there. The meatballs were slightly smaller than we thought they'd be, but they were meaty, juicy, and came in a ragu that perfectly complemented them. The burrata was the star of the show; fresh, milky, and accompanied with diced tomatoes, onions and strawberries. We were in luck with out entrees; they had their burger on the menu. The burger is made from scraps of their Waygu steak. It was served on a toasted brioche bun with melted cheese, house burger sauce, and house made pickles. The fries were delivered extra crispy, as I requested. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Truly spectacular. The pastas really shone; the lobster ravioli were wonderful (though the portion was a little smaller than we thought is should be) with thin hand stuffed pasta and plentiful lobster filling; the pasta carbonara was wonderful (and prepared with guanciale, as it should be), and the English pea and mint agnolotti was a vegetarian's dream. The smoked chicken lasagna was a huge portion served in a cast iron coquette; I seem to recall it from the old menu, and it was as good as always. We were all stuffed after our feast, but we still had room to share some of the mini cannolis. They were made à la minute; no mushy pastry shell here. First class dessert Service was good, pricing was reasonable, and the atmosphere was lovely; highly recommended for modern Italian on Amelia Island.
