Visited here at the suggestion of our concierge. The service was indifferent at best, with my glass sitting empty of long stretches of time. When we asked if there was dessert, the server answered, "Yes." It would have been helpful for her to elaborate a bit. The grilled pork chop, the most expensive item on the menu, was average. My... more

There are so many great places in the historic district of Fernandina. We went to cafe karibo for dinner, they had a live local jazz band playing. The food is excellent - many different types of cuisines to choose from. My favorites was the chicken curry wrap and my husband loved the chili. Definitely check this place out if you... more

This place is fantastic and has such character. We loved the funky decor and character of the place. The food was quite good, and you should see how the staff hustles! more

If you are a vegetarian and/or really like salads, this place is for you. The loaded lentil salad is really loaded not only with flavor but fresh ingredients. My companion diner had the Thai noodle salad and was equally pleased. Don't miss the fresh brewed peach tea. Service can be a bit slow but don't worry, its worth the wait. more

Solidly good. Kids had Quesidilla's that came with salad, fruit and sun chips. My Tuna/ Sashimi appetizer was good and so was the asian slaw- I was not fond of the thai noodles, but my partner loved them. Good tuna melt too. Atomophere was funky and fun- outside with the holiday lights and outside propane heaters- nice place. more

I like casual places with good food, and this exceeded my expectations. Great friendly service, excellent food, beautiful patio, microbrewery, who could ask for more? If your in Fernandina Beach which is on Amelia Island, this place is a must! My wife I got the veggie burger and the turkey meat loaf with a house salad and the soup of... more

I live here and have been here dozens of times... most food items are good, but some of the entrees are pricey for the portion that you get. They have several good sides, but charge you extra if you want something other than chips, etc. That being said, the food is tasty. Service is slow. My biggest problem is that... more

Upon the recommendation of our friend's 50-something father, we tried this place. I have to say, when we walked in, I was sort of surprised he had recommended it, as from the get go one can see that it's pretty hip, in a crunchy-granola kinda way. Maybe it appealed to his former life as a hippy? I don't know. In... more

We went here for dinner with our 2 year old and we had a lovely dinner. They had outside seating in a shaded courtyard which was perfect with a 2 year old. There were a couple of cats walking around which kept her amused. The food was delicious. I got the chicken enchiladas and my husband got the special of... more

My husband and I went for lunch. The outdoor patio is very relaxing. The seafood bisque was the best we've ever had. Wonderful food! Service was so so but who's in a hurry when your on Amelia Island? more
