    I absolutely love this place and whenever I'm in town for work I come here for dinner! I promise you will not be disappointed in the food, service and amazing beach view!

    Extra dirty martini

    I am obsessed with this place! Although we had to wait an hour to be seated on a Monday night, it was well worth it! We enjoyed drinks at their sister location next door. The drink menu has so many good options. We tried the espresso martini, lavender martini and an extra dirty martini. All were delicious! The ambiance was really nice. They played a great mix of top 40. Lights were kept low and the seating was comfortable. Tables were close but not on top of each other. I took advantage of their prix fixe weekday special. It was such a great deal! Available Sunday through Thursday 3 to close. I had the lobster bisque that comes with a delicious sliced baguette and the sherry on the side, the salmon frites for the entree which was amazing and the chocolate mousse for dessert. All of this was $39! The quality and care that goes into their dishes is evident. I can't wait to go back and try their seafood pot pie! Service was great! Our server had a great personality and helped us with recommendations. It was great experience!

    Great Sunday brunch..

    Always bright and Charming. Staff is very friendly and helpful at anytime. ODell the Exec Chef is the best on the strip! Food is absolutely amazing. My favorite place in Flagler Beach.

    Lobster gnocchi

    This is a pretty good restaurant located by others that serve average bar food. It's the class act at the beach but it's not 5 star. We begin our meal with rock crab claws. Good a bit overpriced for the quantity. We also tried the beef carpaccio. Good but it should have been a tad thinner. I felt this was a good value appetizer though. The Mrs did the lobster tail with truffle fries. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Even though it had truffle fries I thought it was a little bit of a weird pairing. I tried the lobster gnocchi in a sherry cream sauce. It was very good but the portion size was small. They said it came with 4ozs of lobster. Maybe 2 is all I found. Dessert was crème brûlée. It was a great ending dish. On the cocktail side the Mrs had an espresso martini. Pretty darn good. Me I had a Long Island ice tea. Probably one of the worst I ever tried. We sat outside and had a nice view of the ocean. That never sucks! Give the next door bistro a try. It's by far the best place on Flagler beach.

    Sweet spot by the beach! Good vibes, friendly service (Beth was amazing!), and delicious food. They had a big oval booth table in the back that accommodated our group of 11. I do like these tables, and don't like these tables. It was nice that we were all able to get seated together and talk together, but the people sitting in the middle had no way of getting out to the bathroom without having everyone get up, and the table was so huge that it wasn't easy to talk to the person on the opposite end without shouting a bit, and i felt a little self conscious about it for disturbing other customers. Though on a Sunday afternoon, the place was quite loud and no one seemed to care much. Cobb Salad with blackened chicken Wow! I never know if my chicken is gonna be good in a Cobb salad... But it was! The "blackened" seasoning was delicious. I had hoped for beef rather than chicken, but the price difference was just not justified in my head. I'm glad i stuck with the chicken, because it was really quite good. The rest of the salad didn't look especially exciting, but it was crunchy fresh, with big wedges of tomatoes, thin slices of bacon, avocado and eggs, and blue cheese crumbles that were very good. Angus burger The meat had great popping flavors. Hany really enjoyed the burger. It looked really good. And the fries that came with were gorgeous to look at, and delicious to munch on. Friends were jealous and regretting their choice... Duck and Waffles His choice of duck and waffles was under-wowing. What a weird combination... a good attempt at fancying up chicken and waffles, i think, but a failure in execution. First, the duck was slow cooked, and not fried. But that was specifically noted on the menu. Don't expect this to be anything like fried chicken. And the dish was glazed with syrup, with blueberry jam+blueberries on the bottom, which made it sweet, but too sweet. You want gravy in this dish and there is a reason why chicken and waffles come with gravy. The waffles were also quite dense and doughy. So a definite no for this dish. Vegetarian Benedict I didn't try this, but friend loved it despite it being vegetarian and him not being vegetarian. Not sure why he got it lol, but he said the flavors were really good. Lobster Benedict This looked even better than the vegetarian Benedict, and friend was impressed. Overall, definitely a place to come back to. Which is what our local friends were doing. lol. They did say they wish they had a rotating specials menu or something, because their menu is not extensive and they come back so often but can always only get what they always get. I, on the other hand, say if you have a good thing going, don't rock the boat! A small menu is always a plus in my mind.

    you haven't been to Next Door Bistro yet, you are missing out. The entire vibe is cool, savvy, and effortlessly elevated the second you walk in, with an energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The menu is outstanding from start to finish. The steamed clams are packed with flavor, the half chicken is perfectly cooked and crave worthy, the lobster bisque is rich and velvety, and the hot ham and cheese sandwich will absolutely make your tastebuds jump for joy. The drinks are delightful and beautifully crafted, and dessert truly tops off the perfect meal, especially the refreshing sorbet and the indulgent chocolate mousse. The bartenders are attentive, the staff hustles, and every dish is presented with care and intention. I am officially a raving fan and highly recommend it.

    First time going to Next door beach Bistro and it did not disappoint they had amazing breakfast and lunch. The service was very nice and can see the drinks being made and also very amazing presentations of the food. The place is also on the beach and has these corner tables that you can sit at for large groups of people which is very cool.

    Celebrating our anniversary at the Bistro Next Door for a late lunch. The atmosphere is welcoming and the place is spacious. I had the lobster bisque and it was delicious though the amount of lobster was woefully small. In addition I had the roasted beets with fried goat cheese on top of salad greens with candied pecans. That was super tasty! Hubby had a Cesar salad (he gave me the croutons ) and his main course was Fettuccine with jumbo shrimp. Hubby was disappointed with the size of the shrimp since the salad was advertised as 'colossal' shrimp. I tasted his fettuccine and it was in a nice cream sauce however the noodles were a tad bit overdone. That's why the score was 4 stars. It was a nice place to chat, eat, and create new memories. Our server was nice and ensured everything was fine.

    This place is an absolute must-try while visiting Palm Coast! In my opinion, it's hands down the best restaurant in the area. Not only is it the newest spot in town, but it also offers a fantastic dining experience with air conditioning (a must in Florida!), incredible service, and--most importantly--delicious food that keeps us coming back for more. We've been loyal fans ever since they opened, and we've tried so many dishes from their menu. Let me tell you, they never disappoint! One standout is the peel-and-eat shrimp--it's easily one of our favorites. We've traveled all over Florida, but no other place comes close to how perfectly they prepare this dish. It's a must when you're here! I highly recommend ordering it cold with their spicy rub--it's pure heaven! The flavors are unmatched, and we dream about it every time we leave. The cocktails here are just as impressive. The cucumber jalapeño margarita is an absolute star, but they have a full bar, so you're guaranteed to find something that tickles your fancy. What's even better is that the service is top-notch. There are always plenty of staff members around, and even the manager is visible and ready to assist if needed. Their outdoor seating is another bonus--offering a gorgeous view of the ocean while you dine. It's such a peaceful and picturesque setting, perfect for soaking up the beauty of Palm Coast. I have to give a special shoutout to Cris, our favorite bartender! He's an absolute character--fun, entertaining, and a little kuku (haha sorry Cris, we love you) in the best way possible. He truly adds to the great vibes of this place. There's no happy hour here, but honestly, you won't even notice. The amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere make it worth every penny. This spot has become a permanent part of our Palm Coast tradition, and we'll keep coming back no matter what. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out--you'll leave as happy and satisfied as we always do. See you there!

    Tomato Basil soup of the day
    Susan H.

    High end yet casual, with indoor and outdoor dining. We chose outdoors and enjoyed the view of the beach under a full roof with fans providing a gentle breeze. Between the fans and the ocean breeze, we were very comfortable on this 86 degree day. Our server, Michelle was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, courteous, and professional, she checked on us quite often and kept our drinks of iced tea and water topped off. All of our dishes came out timely and piping hot. We started with the fresh, complimentary bread while waiting for our appetizer and main course. My appetizer of Lobster bisque was decadent and delicious! My husband's soup of the day, Tomato Basil was a bit acidic for his taste and no basil notes. My main was the appetizer Mussels in Thai Coconut which was absolutely delicious and an ample portion for an appetizer. The mussels were perfectly tender and plump in a rich coconut sauce. The accompanying bread was soft as a cloud and slightly toasted. Absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the puréed parsnips side very much. So creamy and yummy. My husband said his Sriracha Chicken Quesadillas were pretty good. He really enjoyed the homemade tortillas and the chicken was okay. He liked the addition of celery for a nice crunch. I'm giving this a full 5 star based on our experience, the staff, and my amazing meal. Would 100% come here again.

    The food was really good, not pictured is the appetizer which was the flatbread, it was very tasty as well. The service staff was very friendly and attentive.

    You could say I'm totally obsessed with this place. From the decor, aesthetic, relaxed atmosphere, amazing drinks, to die for food, perfect location... what's not to like? We stopped in for a late lunch based on a recommendation from locals and I'm so glad we did. We sat at the bar and ordered some of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Next we had a round of raw oysters, they were top notch and the minionette was the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot of varieties. To be honest, I wanted to try one of everything on the menu, but we paired it down to two sandwiches and the mussels. The mussels come in this thai coconut sauce that I practically wanted to drink. I blame this on making me like mussels now. As for the sandwiches -- they were both AMAZING. The fried green tomato and shaved filet mignon, honestly I'd recommend both of those and sharing them within your table so you can have a bite of each. We did opt for the truffle on the filet mignon sandwich to be left on the side as to not overpower it, and I'm glad we did. It really didn't need the truffle to blow our socks off!! I'm so impressed by this place and will be dreaming of the flavors for months to come. If I ever find myself back in Flagler, you better believe I'm stopping here first. Bartender Lee is fabulous and took great care of us!

    We had dinner here. Very crowded, busy with patrons. Comfortable atmosphere, extensive menu, friendly service. We 4 ordered, 2 lobster bisque, 1/2 lb burger and fries, fettuccine with chicken, bouilliabaisse,spaghetti squash with chicken. We enjoyed all except my pan fried chicken was very salty and dry with my spaghetti squash and I didn't eat it. Food was plated nicely, came out hot, good portions, a bit pricey in my opinion. However overall an enjoyable evening.

    The latte was delicious and we really enjoyed out breakfast platter. Staff was so kind and fun to…read moretalk to. Very large comfortable space with a lot of seating. We would have sat outside on patio but was a little warm out.

    This is such a cute little cafe. It looks tiny from the outside! But there is plenty of place to…read moresit and sip both inside and out. Chairs and tables and comfy couches. I had a lavender iced latte which was pretty good! I was hoping to try the blueberry pancakes one but they were out of the flavors to make it, and also out of the toasted marshmallow flavor so I couldn't try the toasted root beer. So a little sad over that, but the lavender latte was still an absolute win. Plus it was out to me super fast! I also tried a homemade pop tart. That was also really good. I was expecting preserves or similar for the filling though and it wasn't. It was like a strawberry cream cheese filling. Which was good! Just doesn't scream "poptart" to me. The service here is absolutely top tier tho, with no "buts". It's definitely a hometown mom and pop type place and really seems like they care about their community and the employees care about being there. I'll definitely be back. And maybe next time, I'll go earlier in the month when they have a cool flavor of the month so I don't miss out!!! You can't really beat a "coffee. Beach. Bourbon" attitude!

    Stephanie was an amazing bartender! We drive to the area often and never tried caves before, but…read moreStephanie made a great first impression by mentioning specials and giving us the overall history about their restaurant. But was not overbearing. She definitely knows hospitality!! I had the espresso martini and key lime martini and both were incredible. My boyfriend really enjoyed the burger and the chef there knows what he's doing! The crowd there really adores this place and you can tell they treat their guest like family! Don't forget to try the cookie butter banana cheesecake! It was to die forrrrr! I can't wait to come back and try the prime rib everyone raves about! The views are awesome and the upstairs is such a vibe! They have comedy night too! We left there wanting to come back for more :) Thanks Stephane!

    My husband and I are frequent patrons of Craves, and from the very first night we walked through…read morethe door in November, we knew we had found something special. We jokingly call it "our bar" because that's exactly how it feels....like home. From day one, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome. Mike and Lauren are the owners of Craves. Lauren was our very first bartender and immediately made us feel like regulars. Mike introduced himself that first evening while we were trying to navigate the parking lot (which can definitely fill up quickly during dinner hours, a testament to how popular Craves is!). We started out enjoying the upstairs bar before eventually finding our home downstairs. The bar staff is truly what sets Craves apart. Courtney, Emily, Monica, Bonnie, and Stephanie are all outstanding, and Lindsay has been an amazing addition to the team. Every visit is filled with friendly faces, great conversation, and exceptional service. Joe greeted us on our first visit and escorted us upstairs to the bar. He immediately noticed my husband's Philadelphia Eagles hat, and discovering they were both Eagles fans was an instant connection that made us feel even more at home. The food is simply incredible. In all the times we've dined here, we have never had a bad meal. In fact, whenever friends or family visit from out of town, Craves is always at the top of our list, and they consistently tell us it's some of the best food they've had. Some of our absolute favorites include the Prime Rib, the 4-ounce Filets, the Stuffed Flounder, the Salmon, and the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi served over pasta. Every dish is consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. Craves has truly become our go-to place, not just because of the amazing food, but because of the people. Mike and Lauren have created something special: a restaurant where guests quickly become family. There simply aren't enough great things I can say about Craves. If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back, Craves is the place to be. We can't recommend it highly enough!
