    View of the ocean from our table on the patio

    I had the pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, bacon on the side. Also had a painkiller drink. Everything was delicious. Waitress was super friendly and helpful and attentive. The view of the ocean was amazing, and really made breakfast a great experience.

    Shrimp and crab florentine, cheese grits.

    Great atmosphere over looking the ocean . The Shrimp Crab Florentine was spot on. Eggs cooked perfectly , stuffed with lots of shrimp. Perfect blend of crab and Hollandaise sauce . Everybody loved the cheese grits. Great staff. Btw the Bloody Mary's were excellent

    The service was unbelievably great. The staff were very friendly and our waitress was very polite. The food came out fast and was very good. The atmosphere was very nice with the outside view of the beach. It's definitely a very nice place to come and enjoy the view.

    Sitting at the rail with an amazing view.

    Fun breakfast spot overlooking the beach. Lots of good breakfast options. We had the crab Eggs Benedict, which were great. My daughter and her friend had the veggie omelette and the pancakes - both were excellent. They make some great Bloody Mary's as well - Jay the bartender is super nice. Good service overall though can get pretty busy for breakfast.

    Balcony view.

    I decided to bring my girlfriend out to Amelia beach and we stumbled on Tortugs Jacks for a good ole breakfast meal...what a great place to dine at, the restaurant sits right on the beach and it has some of the most amazing views of the beach, the service, and food were excellent, they give you a lot of food here, definitely worth coming here to eat and enjoy the beach....

    Not sure how one finds out what the restaurant personnel will be before coming...but that was our situation today. We have eaten here before, upstairs, on the beach, creative menu, nice staff...this time very limited menu (apparently chef wasn't there so very basic menu eggs menu but had shrimp and grits, fried pork chops for breakfast...unusual). We have had seafood eggs Benedict that was real good. Today not so much! Our server was young and sweet and it certainly wasn't her fault...everyone was just trying to roll with the punches....I just wish I had known before we came.

    The breakfast was really good! And of course sitting on the balcony is what really makes the meal.

    Had such a great experience on the Patio at 5th & Ash! The atmosphere outside was relaxed and…read moreperfect for a night out. We started with the cheesy bread, which was super flavorful and the perfect appetizer to share. For mains, our table tried the shrimp scampi, short rib, and redfish--all of them were excellent. The shrimp scampi was buttery and delicious, the short rib was incredibly tender, and the redfish was cooked perfectly with great flavor. A big shoutout to Holly, our waitress, who made the night even better. She was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without being overbearing. Great food, great patio vibe, and great service. Definitely a spot we'll come back to!

    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.

    My family and I have been coming here for years. In fact, it was THE place to bring friends and…read moreother family members when they would come down to visit. Tonight, my sister, my mother, and I were feeling another dinner at Salt Life was due, so we hopped in the car and drove the hour to get there, excited for the meal we were to be consuming soon. We walked in and was greeted by a girl at the register, telling us the host would be with us soon. So, while mom and my sister were checking out the aquarium, I stood there patiently waiting for the host/ess. A gentleman walked in behind me and was immediately greeted by the hostess asking him how many were in his party (he was alone at this point), I turned to the girl at the register and said, "excuse me, she never even acknowledged me". She turned to the hostess and said "they were here waiting". The hostess turned back to her 2 other friends? Work peers? And then led the 3 of us on a tour of the whole dining room area before seating us at a table she could have skipped 45 steps getting to, but whatever. She said "someone will be over to help you". And that was it. The people next to us were getting served, drinks topped off, etc., and the table on the other side as well. (Different waitresses). The table behind us, a party of 6 maybe...getting service. And there we sat. For 10 minutes...nothing. We had put our menus down within 4 minutes of sitting (we come here enough to know what we want) to signal we were ready to order. Nothing. I told my sister this is the payback for speaking up. I told her I'd give them 5 more minutes to at least take a drink order, or we'd be leaving. We waited. Nothing. So we left! How disappointing. We were really looking forward to dinner here, and left with stomachs empty. Now we are on the quest to find the next best place to become regulars at in Fernandina Beach. I can't say anything bad about the food, it's what kept us coming back, but the service we experienced tonight will keep us from coming back. Such a shame!
