Since opening I have dined at Don Quixote a number of times. However I discovered on my last visit that what once was a great restaurant has fallen. The once extenisve menu has shrunk to a handful of tapas. We ordered some of our favorites from prior visits. One bite of the ceviche was one bite too many. The server... More

After over a month of job pressure and stress the wife has endured, I set Friday night as "date" night. Enjoying the sites, scenery and sunset of beautiful Fernandina Beach Fl. After enjoying a nice stroll down Centre St. we thought a nice steak/ seafood dinner would cap off nice night. We chose Don Quixote's restaurant, it had atmosphere and... More

This is such a great restaurant! So lovely inside~I like to sit by the front window and watch the world go by. I have had twice the filet with blue cheese and it will melt in your mouth! I also had a shrimp appetizer that was perfect! The wait staff is excellent and the wine list extensive!

Ate dinner at Don Quixote's this week and was terribly disappointed. My husband and I and another couple use to frequent this restaurant several times a year. We last ate there back in January and everything (food, service, menu) was excellent per usual. I'm not sure what's happened but it was for the worse. The menu has changed, which was... More

Although the server tried very hard, the food fell short. The steak I ordered came out cooked wrong. It returned as the same steak, toppings replaced and cooked further. The blue cheese was no longer melted and for this reason I couldn't eat it. The mushrooms on my fiancé's steak were clearly stale and old. They tasted as if they... More

It is truly a shame that the owners of this restaurant are changing what was a great place for food and service. They have fired the chef who produced great Tapa's and entrees. We went with a party of eight and the menu had dramatically changed in a week from a full line of Tapas to a few. The traditional... More

This was our first time at Don Quixote's. They offers many choices of Tapas and complete dinners. When you go, try the Lamb Meatballs! Yum.

What can I say? Excellent food. Excellent staff. A commitment to quality, fresh innovative food. Mmmm, mmm GOOD! Since that won't give you specifics, allow me to elaborate. I booked a surprise weekend out at Amelia Island on a whim for my Navy husband. I happened to be in JAX a few days before on business, so I took my... More

We found this place by chance. We were walking when it started raining. Got in a in minutes we were seated and the bread was in our table. The waiter was excellent and they were able to accommodate us in the back so our kids would not be bothering other costumers. All our dishes were very tasty (we kind of... More

Good service, excellent food. Ate there recently and found the grouper item on the menu to be fantastic. It includes a couple delicious scallops and a sauce that was very good. Has a little of an after kick. Salad only fair... too much balsamic.
