    Had mixed feelings about this place. It was very very busy. Service was extremely slow. My party came in but yet a couple who came after us was served first even thought my family and I had been waiting for a long time at the table already. There are other good places to eat around the area

    Delicious food. Sat outside. Good service wasn't that busy. Would highly recommend. Good portions.

    If you're craving sushi this is the best in Fernandina Beach! Great service and food! The staff is very welcoming. I love sitting on their porch when the weather permits. Very clean and tastefully decorated.

    First time eating here! Fresh and super friendly staff (Ben). I certainly would come back:)

    Appetizer: seared salmon filled with crab salad and cucumber. Perfect amount of sauce
    Trina H.

    Staff were very attentive, and friendly Seaweed salad portion was wonderful, our appetizer was even smaller than we thought but it was delicious. Pricy for what you got with the app. Didn't try anything else but will be back

    We were hungry and decided to dine here for dinner after a long day. I was surprised that we had to first seat ourselves on the patio while reviewing the menu, then we had to go inside, wait in line, order at the counter and pre-pay. There was no service except for when they brought out our food on paper plates with plastic utensils. It was simply not the dining experience we expected but whatever. We each ordered our sushi and the wait wasn't too long. The sushi came out with a nice plated presentation albeit on paper plates. The sushi was the only saving grace at Akari. All of our rolls and nigiri were fresh and flavorful. Everything else from the service to the ambiance needs much improvement.

    When I first walked into Akari, I was met with a fragrance that was not inspiring. It gave me pause, but the decor was lovely, and I was craving sushi, so I persevered. I'm glad I did. The hot saki put me in the right mood, the crispy spring rolls were a last minute addition to my order and so good I could just have eaten those, but then my sushi roll came out. It was lovingly made and packed with flavor, I'd definitely return.

    I've eaten at this restaurant many times, and I felt safe with their food and with their service. This time, I took my food to go, and I found a dried up curry-coated cockroach in this takeout food. it was disgusting and I have alerted the department of health.

    Quaint place. Perfect little sushi place. Sushi is top notch! Will definitely be back!

I could have used at least 2 more because I ended up eating it straight and it was a bit spicy for me. Service was stellar and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. A solid choice for tapas!

However when we came in hostess gave us altitude that we brought a child. Maybe she should have read a reservation better. She kept telling us that we should put a child on a reservation (which we did), but anyways, there were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant, so not sure what a big deal was. Our server was pretty decent, he explained the menu and was relatively attentive. We ordered many different appetizers and a big seafood paella. I also had non alcoholic sangria which was great. Grilled calamari were amazing, we also loved the shrimp, salad and burrata. Seafood paella was amazing as well. Ambience is more traditional with older people mostly around. They also have extensive outdoor seating area. So everything was good except the hostess.

The beef noodles are packed with flavor, and the cucumber salad is the perfect fresh, crunchy balance to everything else. For drinks, the Buddha beers always hit the spot, and the adult "Capri Sun" mojito is dangerously refreshing. Pro tip: Ask for a side of chili oil it takes everything up a notch. Great food, great drinks, and a laid-back vibe that keeps us coming back. Perfect post-beach stop.

Not sure what more you need except a nice wine & some fabulous house-made desserts: Raspberry Yuzu cheesecake & Molten Lava cake. WOW!!!

    We had been wanting to check out Rustica since we walked by them a few months ago and we decided to…read morefinally come check them out for our anniversary. We made an early reservation since we saw they do Happy Hour 4PM to 5:00PM everyday so we had to get in on that. We walked and and were seated at our table. They made sure to let us know you can sit anywhere during Happy Hour and still get the specials where many restaurants limit it to a bar area. Rustica does a great job of Happy Hour. They have appetizers, cocktails, beer, Sake, wine, and even main course happy hour entrees too. I started off with a cocktail going for the Liliko Martini which I really enjoyed. I have really been into my Passion Fruit drinks lately. We of course had to get some of the Happy Hour appetizers too and we might have gone a little overboard but for sure worth it. We got: The Naan Bread Yellow Beet Salad Crispy Tofu Roasted Pork Belly Bao Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia Japanese Style Fried Chicken These were a great way to start off dinner and not one of them were $8 or less. If I had to pick favorites the best was for sure the Roasted Pork Belly Bao. I think it might have been the best Pork Belly Bao I had ever had. I was a large thick piece of Pork Belly but it just melted you your mouth and had so much flavor. We also very much enjoyed the Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia which were much bigger then expected. The Japanese Style Fried Chicken was great too and the BBQ Ranch took it to the next level. For my entree I went with the Basil Crusted Roasted Monkfish which came with Vietnamese Yellow Curry, Crispy Shrimp and veggies. The Monkfish was cooked perfectly. I had a great sear on it too which gave it a bit of a crunch. I know Monkfish can sometimes be intimidated people because it was pretty ugly looking but let me tell you if it's prepared like this you're going to love it. Some of the best fish I have had. The Vietnamese Yellow Curry paired very well with it too. Wasn't too heavy and didn't over power the fish but just added an extra boost of flavor. I know what you're thinking who could was possibly be hungry for dessert but it sounded good so we ordered the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee and the Yuzu Cheesecake. Both were light enough that we could still really enjoy them after all we had eaten. We really like that the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee also had bubble boba in it which we didn't expect. We had an amazing meal and for sure be coming back sooner rather then later.
