Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal. Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three. read more

Family dinner. We got a the big table in the corner. Server was great and very attentive. There was street parking and a couple of parking lots nearby. Beef Bourgeon $31 Spaghetti squash with chicken $20 + $5 for chicken. A glass of Caymus Walking Fool $17. A bit noisy and hard to talk to everyone with a round is table but was nice to be able to sit on one table with a large group (13). read more

Next Door Beach Bistro - Steak and Frites - Seafood Near Me - Flagler Beach, Florida

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We really enjoyed our first time at next door! It had an upscale beachy feel to it. The oysters were great. The lobster bisque was recommended to us and it was as amazing as we were told. I would recommend getting a lighter entree if you get the lobster bisque as it was heavy and filling. I got the seafood pie for dinner and it was delicious but I was unable to finish. My husband enjoyed his steak and truffle fries! read more

First time going to Next door beach Bistro and it did not disappoint they had amazing breakfast and lunch.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Anyone who gives this place a 4 or less review has bad luck. This place is phenomenal. If you're looking for a European style, relaxed but upscale setting this is it. If they allowed cigarettes on the patio you'd think you're in Portugal. It's beautiful, quiet outside, and modern without trying too hard. I've been here 4 or 5 times and never had a bad experience. Nothing is perfect, but this restaurant hits the mark every time. Thank you. read more

We love this place! We've gone several times and never had a bad meal. We've had everything from the shrimp, burgers, steak, seafood pot pie, salads etc and everything is fab. The service is also on point- professional and quick. The ambiance is not what you expect on the beach- it's very pretty on the inside. It's our best spot beachside we love it! read more

I was visiting the Flagler Beach Palm Coast area and was looking for a place to have lunch with my friends. We looked at some reviews and decided to give it a try. Our server's name was Cameron and he was so great. He was able to give us some good suggestions since it was all our first time there. We all ended up getting the espresso martini, which was very delicious and not too strong. The lobster bisque was equally amazing It came with some bread with some like honey Dijon sauce on it which was amazing. I ended up getting the ham and guyere omelette. Came with a side salad, and I put that honey Dijon dressing on it. This restaurant was right across the street from the beach so where we were sitting, we could see the waves which is really nice. I did use the bathrooms and they were very clean. This is definitely a place. I would check out if you're in the area and if I return, I will definitely be eating at this place. It did not disappoint read more

We were pleasantly surprised by our dinner here! A very nice restaurant option in Flagler. We have been to the golden lion before for drinks and wanted to try out this new dinner option cleverly called "next door". There was a long wait when we checked in (they do not do phone ahead or anything which stinks) but you provide your phone number and can easily go have a drink at the golden lion while you wait which is exactly what we did! The restaurant itself was very nice, modern but cozy and clean. A little more elevated ambiance which I appreciated. We decided to go with their prix fix menu since the entrees we wanted to get anyways were on there. The lobster bisque was excellent and I enjoyed the sherry served on the side so you could add as much as you like. Also a very generous serving, I was almost full just after the soup! Their bread was also very good, just white bread with butter but it was tasty nonetheless. Their beef bourguignon and seafood pie were delicious! Also their lobster frites was a great lobster tail both serving size and flavor were spot on. The salmon and frites were also very tasty, however the salad it was served with was lacking. There was literally no or very very little dressing on it which was a bit of a letdown. The desserts weren't bad either and with the prix fix menu a decent price for sure. We would come back! read more

Beautifully decorated and with a bright, elegant yet relaxing aesthetic. The food was incredible! Fresh, well-portioned, balanced and delicious. We had brunch and the menu offered something for everyone (ages 7-72). We had the shaved prime rib in Texas toast, colossal tempura shrimp and beat and warm goat cheese salad. This will easily be one of our top new spots. read more

No photos the food was too good to stop and snap one. That should tell you everything. The staff was fantastic, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. The bistro is tucked just close enough to the ocean to catch a breeze, and while the views weren't epic, the vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and just right. Everything we ordered was spot-on. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place you want to keep to yourself but can't help telling people about. Already looking forward to going back. read more

What a cool spot to hang out on a Saturday afternoon! Great drinks, ideal people watching, wonderful food, incredible service and it's directly across from the beach... What more could you ask for. I had the chilled lobster roll which was decent/standard, and my wife had a Cobb salad with blackened fish. While food was good, the best parts are really the environment and the service. Amy B seems like an incredible person - Great energy, wonderful enthusiasm, ideal efficiency and an overall kind person. There are eight tables on the outdoor covered patio, and the patio was cooled by ceiling fans hanging from the gazebo. It was a perfect setting even on a 80+ degree day. Pricing including tip, tax and drinks was still less than $50 per person which is a strong value for the area. Overall, a great place to spend a few hours in the afternoon and we will certainly be back. read more

We love Next Door Beach Bistro, and our first Sunday brunch there was no exception. You can find chicken and waffles on just about any brunch menu, but duck and waffles? Incredible. We also ordered two of our longtime favorites -- the roasted beet and goat cheese salad and the truffle fries -- and they were just as delicious as ever.

We were in Flagler Beach to drop off some items at a nearby business and decided to try this place for lunch. It was an excellent decision. It is located along A1A so it has excellent views of the beach. They have indoor, outdoor and bar seating. We chose the indoor seating as it was a very cold day. Service from our waitress, Carrie, was very quick and friendly. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. I opted for the shaved filet mignon sandwich with fries. It came on Texas toast and also had caramelized onions, and peppers. The fries were also delicious. My fellow diners had the Angus Beef Cheeseburger and they both loved it. Another dining companion had the salad special which included shrimp, avocado and ranch dressing. She said the shrimp were delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

We decided to stop by for dinner on our way home from a road trip and glad we did! We had seen the restaurant on one of our many visits to the area and wanted to change it up a bit. It was a busy weekend and there was a wait but it was worth the wait. The restaurant is nicely decorated, modern, open with inside and outside seating with a bar area. It overlooks the ocean and what could be better than dinner with a view? We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and they had a good selection of drinks and wine. Our server was attentive and happy to answer any questions or make suggestions. We ordered the lobster bisque, cesar salad with chicken, steak and fries and the fresh spaghetti squash with salmon (our server told us it was available even if it was not listed on the menu, but it was a bit pricey, but very tasty). We will be back for sure next time we visit the area. read more

My husband and I went to the Next Door Bistro last evening. We had heard great things about it. We went early around 4:30 PM. I 'll start by saying it is a very pretty place. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was very nice and went over the menu with us. There is a good vibe in the place. I chose the lobster bisque to start. It comes with sherry to add. The soup was good but not great. More like a gravy. It was brown, rather than the norm and not much taste. Certainly not like lobster bisque I then had the beef bourguignon. It was like beef stew. I didn't care for it at all. It certainly did not taste like it was freshly made, There was hope. I ordered the chocolate mouse. But, It was bland, and certainly not what I call mouse. More like an instant pudding. My husband had the chicken. It was just that...Chicken. Nothing special. The prices are fair, and by the time we left it was packed. Not sure if we will go back. It was less than average to us. read more
