All their seafood is fresh and most, if not all of it is sourced locally. The people behind the counter are helpful, firendly, (and in my case) patient and willing to answer our questions. It doesn't get better than that!

Such a friendly family business! We were excited to find a local spot with fresh seafood we could…read morecook up while on vacation. Prices were reasonable and everything was fresh. The lady who helped us even showed our kids shrimp with the heads on and live blue crabs for fun when she found out were from Colorado. Definitely will be returning on our annual trips to Amelia Island, but maybe later this week too!

A lot of the food trucks had lines going out the door, including voodoo shrimp shack. But their service was so quick, that it didn't seem like you were waiting in line at all.

Food was great! Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was top notch! I would highly recommend.read more

What a fun find! My BF and I went to dinner here. Stepping inside, it looks like your traditional…read moreseafood restaurant. The hostess said it would be about 10 minutes before we could be sat inside or 20+ minutes outside. She also offered us to see if we could find a seat at the bar. We looked outside and landed two seats at the bar. Triple bonus- there was a band playing, drinks flowing, and a sun setting high in the sky. Everyone like to be smiling and having a great time, even the staff. He ordered the Ahi tuna, I ordered the Thai chili shrimp. Both were amazing and we would absolutely order again. Both plates were well presented, and came out in a fair amount of time. I can't wait to go back!

Our return to Fernandina Island and The Patio discovered the same great food and terrific service provided by Kimmi. Patio is by far one of island favorites. It's obvious locals agree as a short wait for a table indicated it is truly a destination for food. Server Kimmi served up delicious fare in whirlwind speed, then kept tabs on every need. Food was memorable so we opted for the same combination from our first visit. Thank you The Patio for a great experience. From our previous visit over a year ago, read on...

The Patio at 5th and Ash has a nice patio (shocker!). However, we were confused why an upscale…read morerestaurant like this one would have plastic cups. It was a bit odd. Anyways, our server was pretty friendly, and we can't complain about the ambience. Here's what we tried: -Crab Dip: 10/10 - SOOO YUMMY! Perfect crab dip, so rich, so flavorful. -Lobster Bisque: 2/10 - This wasn't bisque, it wasn't even chowder. It was so thick and had no real taste to it. -Goat Cheese Burger: 9/10 - creamy, goat cheese was the star, overall delicious. fries were good too! -Lobster Ravioli: 7/10 - disappointing, to be honest. Sauce was great but the ravioli itself kind of tasted like frozen lobster ravioli. -French dip Sandwich: 6/10 - super salty, very savory, but very little depth of flavor. Could've used something zingy. -Chocolate Cake: 9/10 - no one can argue with a chocolate cake. I mean come on! I loved that it came out cold and dense.

Stopped by Southern River Walk Restaurant for an early birthday dinner for my wife and it turned…read moreout really nice. At first we ended up at the bar-only spot (easy mistake), but they quickly pointed us around the corner to the main restaurant--no hassle at all. Anna took great care of us. Super friendly, checked in just enough, not too much. They noticed it was my wife's birthday and actually made it feel special--multiple birthday wishes and a complimentary dessert for the table, which was a nice touch. Great location too. Overall really good experience... would definitely go back.

Family visited on a weekday night to play their games and have dinner. Our children range from…read moretoddler to teenager and they had fun playing pool, claw game, motorcycle game, skee-ball, and punching bag game. Pool tables are $1 per game and there's maybe 5-6 tables. My daughter won the chinese food claw game a few times and even got some jewelry so she was really excited. There's plenty of space and it's not fancy, but the kids had alot of fun and it's real laid back & casual. The lumpia was alight and the kids ate their hotdogs. Most who had the french fries liked them. I had the fried shrimp and wasn't impressed. There was thick crispy breading, but could taste alot of salt. I did not like it as much as some of the other dedicated seafood restaurants in town. The grits were just alright also. I guess my favorite was the sweet tea. The bathrooms were clean, but the soap dispensers didn't seem to work. The bartender/server was helpful and I liked the weird jukebox they had. This was our big event for the day and everyone in my family had a good time and enjoyed the visit.

Exceptional Service That Turned a Mishap into a Great Memory…read moreI recently had an issue with a thoughtful gift certificate my son sent me for The Boat House. In a moment of clumsiness, I accidentally deleted the email and thought it was gone for good. I reached out in desperation, and to my surprise, manager Colin personally stepped in. He contacted corporate right away and made sure the gift certificate was resent to me promptly. That kind of care and follow-through is rare these days, and it speaks volumes about the family-oriented, customer-first culture at The Boat House. It made me even more excited for our next visit. Thank you, Colin, and the whole team -- you've gained a loyal customer and turned what could have been a frustrating situation into one that highlights why The Boathouse stands out. Highly recommend!

We had the Bleu Cheese chips which were really good. They are homemade potato chips bathed in a delicious queso and sprinkled with bleu cheese crumbles. A perfect companion to my prosecco.
