Absolute best fresh seafood in Neptune Beach, Jacksonville!…read more After passing by several places, chose North Beach Fish Camp because it was the busiest, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is lively, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming they even surprised the table with a complimentary order of fried crab claws with garlic aioli that were absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the trio fried platter with fish, scallops, and shrimp, accompanied by hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw. You can truly taste the freshness in every single bite; everything is locally caught by their own fishermen. Between the amazing food, top-notch service, and great atmosphere, this was a standout dining experience. Highly recommended!

I've always had a great experience eating at North Beach Fish Camp. Downstairs is usually crowded,…read moreso my favorite place to eat is upstairs. Even if the restaurant is packed, you can usually get a spot at the bar to eat. And if you sit upstairs, you get a nice view out of the windows. They have different specials all the time, and on our last visit, they had fried crab claws with a yummy dipping sauce. On this last visit, we just had drinks and appetizers, but on previous visits, I've tried a lot of the fish dishes on the menu and have liked them all. They also have good hush puppies. Their mixed drinks are good as well. I can't remember the names of the two I tried (in the photos), but they were refreshing. My husband had an espresso martini, but instead of vodka, he had them make it with the O'Kahan Agave Mezcal Purple Heart, which is something you have to ask for. It's a different twist on the usual espresso martini. Overall, it's good food in a good spot right on the corner in the Beaches Town Center. Never been disappointed and have been eating there for years.

We had a very good dinner at AB Kitchen in Atlantic Beach, FL…read more I had the crab fried rice, while my wife and daughter both ordered the salmon and my son in law had the chicken meatballs. Everything was very good, and the portions were surprisingly large. Food allergies are always an important consideration for us, and AB Kitchen handled them well. The menu clearly identifies gluten free options, and our waitress was knowledgeable about food allergies and helped guide us through the menu and our choices. That made ordering much easier and gave us confidence in what we were eating. The atmosphere is lively and has a good date night feel. It works well for a casual date or a first date, although the restaurant can get fairly noisy. Because of that, I probably would not choose it for a serious business dinner where conversation is the priority. I also would not consider it the best choice for families with small children. Nothing about the restaurant is particularly unfriendly toward kids, but the atmosphere and overall experience seem better suited to adults. Overall, very good food, generous portions, good allergy awareness and an enjoyable atmosphere. Definitely a place we would return to.

They have a menu that changes so it's not always the same things available. The ambiance is relaxed and beachy but also upscale. The service was prompt and cheerful.

We walked into the chic interior, with a bottle of Chianti under the arm as it's BYOB. Something about sipping Chianti out of a nice wine glass...idk man. It makes me feel something. It makes me feel important. It makes me feel like I'm under the Florentine sky without a care in the world. We went with the charred octopus ($20), pork schnitzel ($16), fish of the day, the crispy short ribs ($47), and some seared scallops ($20) that were to die for. Everything hit, but that crispy short rib was operating on a different level. It was putting a show on. A crispy exterior with a tender interior, it made me question every other short rib dish I've ever had. I was inspired. The portions were on the smaller side, but my girlfriend gave me the scout ahead of time so I demolished an Angie's sub a few hours before dinner. It's always nice when you do your pregame preparation and are able to get a clean read of the defense. I felt like Tom Brady. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

As for the food? The berry salad was alright, but very light on the dressing- which made it slightly dry and the bitter arugula taste stand out. But my waitress did bring extra dressing so I ended up enjoying it. The Peaches & Cream fried green tomatoes were delicious- way more tomato than I expected in the best possible way! I feel like it should be named fried green tomatoes on the menu with the cheese and peaches left in the description. The Ahi tuna with ginger noodles was also fantastic! The noodles on the dish were actually the highlight of the whole meal. The only thing I felt really was not worth the money was the crab macaroni- which for $18 was a very basic velveeta adjacent mac with a very thin, crusty layer of shredded crab on top. In sum: the food is good, but it's definitely at a premium.

I was worried it would be too hot but the fans and the breeze up there made it nice. The food was delicious - the French Toast plate was massive! Everyone loved their meals (a few not pictured) and we got "Breakfast Bubbz" for the table: a bottle of sparkling and your choice of juices. In my opinion, a little overpriced for a very traditional brunch and nothing that knocked my socks off, but still a great brunch spot and close by Lemon Bar & Pete's to hit up after being a little tipsy from the bubbly

This 3rd generation establishment is tucked away where you likely wouldn't find it unless you are a local or from the Mayport military base. Louis the owner is a super nice person and greeted us all, as did the staff. Very welcoming and definitely a old timey, feel good neighborhood time, Not fancy, but nostalgic with live music on one side and a DJ set up on the other. Good prices and friendly folks.

I was here for a friend's birthday dinner and found the restaurant to be a pretty mixed bag…read more The big pro is the location and view: we sat in the upstairs, which had an upscale coastal atmosphere, and the views of the ocean were absolutely stunning. Another plus was that our server was very friendly and helpful, although he seemed to be having to cover for much of the rest of the staff. At a glance, the restaurant didn't seem understaffed, but they struggled to keep up even when multiple tables had emptied out. The bar and kitchen were struggling, too -- we had multiple issues with wrong items being served, and it took a surprisingly long time to get our food (even with giving a lot of grace for us being a party of 10). Dinner was 2.5 hours without dessert (with the exception of the small, complementary dessert they brought the birthday celebrant). The food was fine but nothing spectacular, and it felt overpriced. I ordered a cup of tomato bisque, which was decent, and a trio of sides for my main course: the Boursin orzo, Brussels sprouts, and pecan green beans. The orzo was pretty tasty, and the Brussels sprouts were quite nice with dried cherries mixed in. Both leaned a bit too salty but not terribly so. The green beans were a total miss: no flavor and arrived room temperature. The server ensured I wasn't charged for them. To drink, I ordered an ube piña colada (which was not strong but was tasty) and a glass of house white. My total for soup, two sides, one cocktail, and one glass of wine was nearly $80 with the 20% automatic large party gratuity included. I don't mind the tip inclusion, but I feel like I paid a hefty amount for food that didn't match the price tag. I'll also note that they have introduced a surcharge for paying by credit card. I really hope they get things sorted out; it sounded like a lot of new staff in place which hopefully means higher aspirations rather than high turnover. It's a beautiful spot.

We were seated promptly and the service was quick. Food wise, they have basic options for the kids (pizza, burger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders) which works for my family. We ordered the chicken tenders and burger for our kids and they ate 90% of their entrees. I ordered the pork belly slider appetizer as my entree and added a side salad. Both were very good- the sliders were just the right size. Only change for me would be a little less sauce on the sliders. The salad was big for a side salad and had fresh ingredients. My husband ordered the French dip sandwich and seemed to enjoy his as well. Overall, we like this tavern because it's close to home and easy with the kids. The food is good and the draft beers are ice cold. The vibe is nice for a local tavern- has the claw machines on the family side and pool, darts, golden tee, etc. on the bar side

Drinks were generous. Cheers to the bartender.
