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.

Everything was delicious. All staff was friendly. Service was great. If I have any critique, it's that--due to this being a small location--tables are quite close to one another. At least this is the case when sitting inside. We did not see the patio, so cannot speak to that set up. Chairs were not very comfortable either. With all that said, the meal and service still makes this 5/5 for us.

He patiently explained menu items in an effort to be sure we would have the best dining experience. He was attentive to our needs through out the meal. One more note re Dylan - we were seated near a very loud party of six. One lady was conversing (aka yelling) so loudly that I was not able to hear my party nor was I able to speak without raising my voice to an uncomfortable level. I mentioned my discomfort to Dylan and he immediately moved us to a quieter area/table. Thank you for a memorable evening!

My wife, who was jonesing for clam strips for some reason, decided to order fried clam strips even though I cautioned her they're not known for clams AND we'll be making a separate trip to Cedar Key (clam capital) sometime soon. Anyway, my dish was good. The shrimp were well prepared, tender and not rubbery with crispy breading that wasn't too greasy. The cilantro ranch dipping sauce was a good compliment. My wife liked her clam strips even though some pieces were a bit chewy. The batter was nice and crispy and didn't seem greasy but she thought it had too many little pieces. Oh yeah, those hush puppies were quite good! Good ambience and decent value for fresh seafood. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to just under $32 with tip.

We're definitely the "spontaneous" type and rarely make reservations, but you absolutely need them here! Thankfully, we've stopped in a handful of times and Heather, the hostess, has always managed to find us a spot at the bar or in the lounge area. Let me just say, she makes the whole experience. She's the nicest person, so bubbly and friendly, and it's the perfect way to start the evening. The bar staff is wonderful and consistently attentive. On our most recent visit, my husband had the fish and I ordered the short rib. They both were delicious. The crowd is lively, the atmosphere is fun, and we truly love coming here.

The host greeted us warmly, quickly found our reservation, and showed us to our table in the lounge area.

We started with a bottle of Albariño, caviar, and I had the soup, which was absolutely out-of-this-world delicious. For my entrée, I selected the Valentine's preset menu, which included the soup, a perfectly cooked NY strip, and a dessert that was outstanding. I actually told them that dessert needs to be added to the regular menu -- it was that good, even if it was just a one-night special. My husband ordered the scallops and was very pleased -- he said we definitely need to come back again. It's definitely a place to celebrate something special. It is on the expensive side, and reservations are recommended, but the experience makes it worth it

The flatbread had good flavors BUT the crust was too hard/crispy for my liking. The rum punch was good...perhaps too good as it is one of those drinks that could creep up on you. My wife also decided to try out their key lime pie. The pie was decent but was too sweet for us and the custard was a bit airier than we prefer.
