      A:

      As far as I know, yes. I saw dogs there but I think only on the patio? There's a sign on the door to the bar area that says only service animals allowed through that door

      Elisha was our waitress and was wonderful and attentive. The food choices are from vegan to meat eaters. Each dish so flavorful!! I had the Lentils Salad and Crab Eggs Benedict. My friend had the Greek Quesadilla and the Baby Bella sandwich. Absolutely delicious!!!

      Came here for Sunday brunch. My wife and I had Bloody Mary's. Those were great. I had the crab cake eggs benedict (pictured) and a side of cheese grits. Both were delicious. Only downside was that my wife's soup and salad were just okay. Our server (I think her name was Sierra?) was attentive and did a great job. Overall enjoyed our experience. We'll be back soon.

      Lovely spot in Downtown Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island. Beautiful patio under large oaks shade the ample seating. The menu offers some local great island options including Mahi and shrimp. Service is always friendly and fast. If something isn't right, their southern hospitality will smooth things over and present a better option. I've eaten here a half dozen times and the summer cocktails and great food are always a hit with my visiting friends (and for us locals too)!

      Good food made from real ingredients and with lots of flavor. Portion sizes are generous (they should be for the price) and the quality is great. I got the grouper and shrimp special which was so good. All of there meals come with solid sides as well. I recommend their fish items because it was very fresh tasting and cooked perfectly. The carbonara had way too much sauce for my liking. The salads looked great as well but I can't justify the price for what you are getting. Waitress was very nice and they have TVs to watch sports games. Overall, I will probably be back!

      We have eaten here twice over the last month, and overall I would definitely go again.

      First: the atmosphere is great. The restaurant is mostly outdoors and feels like you are inside of a secret garden. There are fans and it's very shaded, and even in July we were fine being outside.

      The menu is a bit eclectic. There are bar foods as well as fancier entrees. My group has enjoyed several entrees from each part of the menu and find the grilled and blackened entrees to be delicious. However, the fried entrees aren't very seasoned and lack flavor. Don't let this stop you from visiting. The exception to this are the fries, and I love that they mix sweet potato fries with regular fries. The portions are also very big!

      Their Sangria is great. You can get it by the glass or by the pitcher. I highly recommend the red.

      Service was great both times. They do get a bit busy, but we never felt forgotten.

      Mom's a vegetarian and they had many great options for her. We sat on the back patio and it was just lovely, we asked to be moved closer to a fan so it would be cooler and they did.
      Mom had the Bella sandwich with potato salad and I had the Greek Quesadilla , both were large and delicious.
      There are 2 outdoor seating areas, the back patio is smaller and not as noisy. Darrien, our waitress, was very friendly and attentive.
      We will definitely be back.

      On a sunny, warm Saturday, we were seated right around peak lunch time with no wait, which was very nice. The waiter was welcoming and friendly and took our order quickly.The atmosphere is quiet and quaint, and has a cozy feel. Upon looking at the menu, I had wished that there was a little more variety, but I understand the hassle of a small business taking on a variety of ingredients. I was in the mood for something cool and crunchy because of the blazing florida sun, so I got the baja baby salad, sauce on the side. The ratio of topping to salad was off, there was a lot of beans, and I added on the shrimp, but because I paid extra, I wish it came with more than just 5 pieces of shrimp. Other than that, the ingredients tasted fresh and was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day. Would recommend if you want a quick, easy lunch or brunch spot.

      To be honest, there were other places I wanted to visit first on our trip to Amelia Island, but this had the biggest menu of things for my husband to eat, so in we went.

      The vibe is perfectly eclectic, with lots of art and cool colors and a lovely courtyard for dining. It was a little cold and windy, so we opted for inside.

      There were so many options of salads, apps, and sandwiches, and it actually took me a while to decide on my lunch. He had the Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad, with Farm Fresh Spring Greens topped with Seasoned Couscous, Chickpeas, Cucumbers, Onions and Tomatoes drizzled with Lemon-Cumin Vinaigrette, garnished with Microgreens.

      I went more traditional with a Blackened Mahi Sandwich. It was the biggest piece of fish I've ever been served! The seasoning was flavorful and delicious, and I loved that their "House fries" are a mix of regular and sweet potato fries. Yum. Get an extra side of the spicy aioli to dip them in.

      Would definitely try some of their specials and appetizers in the future, as well as enjoying cocktails from their bar. Great service and cozy ambiance.
