Clam chowder

Great service! They have the best Courtyard Musssels in a feta, lemon and a wine garlic sauce. I tried their clam chowder(loaded with clams) and Caesar salad with Garlic butter pasta with cherry tomatoes, shrimp and sirloin tips. My husband had their chicken florentine with green beans in a garlic sauce. We finished with a take home piece of carrot cheese cake. Great ambience with a jazz singer on Friday nights.

Tried this place for the first time and it's in a really cute little courtyard (hence the name). They also had live music playing which made for a nice touch. Before I get started on the food I will talk about their COVID protections. They are using paper one time use menus and distancing the tables. However they are not requiring masks and NONE of their employees wear masks. This was very concerning and made me super uncomfortable considering Florida's high numbers. Perhaps people in NSB don't care about COVID but visitors from other counties and states might so they should consider this. Moving on to the food. I tried the special which was the duck and lamb. This was very delicious. For the side I got the sweet potato puffs which are basically tots and comes with a cinnamon sugar butter- wonderful! I chose the soup as my appetizer and it wasn't my favorite. I'm not a fan of oregano or rosemary and it definitely had at least one of those seasonings in it making it taste more of an Italian clam chowder. However my mom loved it, so it depends on your tastes. My dad got the Caesar salad and he enjoyed it.

Cajun Pork Chop - very rich & flavorful.

Courtyard does it right! Best clam chowder ever. Main menu & specials are really good. Great service with an outside feel. Stop in and check them out.

7:45 on a Friday night.

Learned that the previous owners had sold the business. It was reflected in the menu, pricing and overall service. It worries me when a chef takes ownership, so many times things go wrong and this sale did not escape that hurdle. Prices are up, portions are down, menu changed too much. Ambiance is still great when it's cool outside for seating. Great guitarist tonight, easily eclipsed the food. Very disappointed with overall experience tonight. I do not think we will be coming back, well at least not with guests.. One more try in the future. But this is not the place Ray and Ivanka created. Miss the friendliness and menu.

Veal Chop

The best value in New Smyrna Beach, the veal chip was perfectly cooked. My wife's sea scallops were fresh and tasty. We both enjoyed our sides (clam chowder and ceasar salad). We enjoyed our wines (a Chardonnay and a Cabernet).

Ny strip, cooked perfectly.

We were headed to the Garlic for dinner. When we got there we found that everyone else on the coast was already there. A quick look at Yelp and the Courtyard grill popped up. It was just what we wanted. This little gem is hidden away but worth the effort to find it. I am sorry to say it is for locals only (Joking). We sat at the bar and met David, he greeted us and told us about the menu, specials, and then served us dinner. I had the Strip steak, she had the pork chop. I have to say it was perfect. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and tasty. The Porterhouse Pork Chop was great too and dinner for two all by itself. We sat inside where there is 3 smaller tables and the bar, most tables are outside in a covered courtyard. They were setting up for music as we left. This is a wine and beer restaurant with some choices of wine based drinks. I am happy to give the Courtyard 5 stars and we will be back again.

The cucumber lemonade is a really refreshing non- alcoholic drink, and I really loved it. The Fromage & and Fruit Board is a truest incredible mix of fruit, nuts, cheese, and even chocolate. The only complaint I have is I wish it had more cheese, it only comes with three. I would still order it again. The Shrimp Bambas were good, they had a nice kick to them.

This spot has always held great memories for all of us, whether together or separately, and we were hoping it would still feel the same. It absolutely did. Since it was a Monday night, it was nicely relaxed--not too crowded--and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. We grabbed a table right by the bar in the open-air section, and everything about it was just perfect. The weather cooperated (low humidity for the win!), and the setting felt like a little tropical escape. Between the pergola, Bimini-style covers, and all the lush greenery, it honestly felt like dining in a beautiful garden. Our server was fantastic--patient, attentive, and genuinely kind--even as we got caught up in nonstop conversation and took our time ordering. Never once felt rushed, which made the night even more enjoyable. When we finally ordered, the food did not disappoint. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There are so many great options on the menu that everyone at the table left happy (and already talking about what to try next time). It's rare to find a place that delivers consistently on atmosphere, service, and food--but this one still does. So glad we chose it for such a meaningful night. We'll definitely be back.

Nestled right into the charm of Canal Street, this small, quaint pizza tavern feels like a natural extension of New Smyrna Beach itself: inviting, authentic, and quietly confident in what it delivers. The garlic knots are non-negotiable. Perfectly crunchy on the outside with a soft, pillowy center, they hit the table with an immediate wave of buttery garlic aroma that tells you you're in the right place. One bite confirms it -- bold flavor, ideal texture, and executed with precision. Easily among the best garlic knots you'll find anywhere. Prima separates itself through craftsmanship. Homemade hot honey, house-pickled onions, and carefully selected toppings show a kitchen that cares about the details. Nothing feels mass-produced; every component tastes intentional. I've long been a fan of their pizza, but after trying the Sicilian, there's a new leader in the clubhouse. Thick yet remarkably airy, with a beautiful structure and deep flavor, it balances comfort and sophistication in a way that keeps you reaching for "just one more" slice. Equally memorable is the staff -- outstanding across the board. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being scripted, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. The kind of team that elevates the entire experience and makes you want to return. Prima Pizza Cucina isn't chasing trends; it's quietly perfecting the fundamentals while adding thoughtful, creative touches. In a town known for local character, this is exactly the type of place that defines a dining scene.

We had 3 different pies: Pizza Mary, Mushroom Fontina and the Prima. WE. LOVED. (not like, LOVED). ALL. THREE. Can't wait to go back. Why 4 stars? The place is small, wait was long. We tried to go 2 times before we actually got in and didn't have to wait that long (it was a 30 min wait)

We have attempted to eat here several times in the past few months but the parking lot was packed full and people were standing outside the door while waiting to be seated so we chose other options. After being seated immediately we were greeted by Ms Gay who has been working here for more than 26 years, she is a wonderful person and an exceptional server. She doesn't miss much and is quick to make you aware of any specials or discounts, tonight beside ordering one of the best Greek Salads you'll ever eat I was planning to order a small pepperoni pizza when she made me aware a large pizza was half price tonight and it would be cheaper than the small - it goes to show the integrity of the employees here. The Greek Salad was amazing as always and the pizza was really good, crispy as we ordered with plenty of toppings which made me very happy and definitely a reason to update my review - I won't commit to not ever ordering take out from here again but dining in was pretty special, the staff the food and service would likely make a short wait time worth it...
