    Espresso martini with a shot of Bailey's
    Dori N.

    you haven't been to Next Door Bistro yet, you are missing out. The entire vibe is cool, savvy, and effortlessly elevated the second you walk in, with an energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The menu is outstanding from start to finish. The steamed clams are packed with flavor, the half chicken is perfectly cooked and crave worthy, the lobster bisque is rich and velvety, and the hot ham and cheese sandwich will absolutely make your tastebuds jump for joy. The drinks are delightful and beautifully crafted, and dessert truly tops off the perfect meal, especially the refreshing sorbet and the indulgent chocolate mousse. The bartenders are attentive, the staff hustles, and every dish is presented with care and intention. I am officially a raving fan and highly recommend it.

    Lobster gnocchi
    Ed D.

    This is a pretty good restaurant located by others that serve average bar food. It's the class act at the beach but it's not 5 star. We begin our meal with rock crab claws. Good a bit overpriced for the quantity. We also tried the beef carpaccio. Good but it should have been a tad thinner. I felt this was a good value appetizer though. The Mrs did the lobster tail with truffle fries. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Even though it had truffle fries I thought it was a little bit of a weird pairing. I tried the lobster gnocchi in a sherry cream sauce. It was very good but the portion size was small. They said it came with 4ozs of lobster. Maybe 2 is all I found. Dessert was crème brûlée. It was a great ending dish. On the cocktail side the Mrs had an espresso martini. Pretty darn good. Me I had a Long Island ice tea. Probably one of the worst I ever tried. We sat outside and had a nice view of the ocean. That never sucks! Give the next door bistro a try. It's by far the best place on Flagler beach.

    Sweet spot by the beach! Good vibes, friendly service (Beth was amazing!), and delicious food. They had a big oval booth table in the back that accommodated our group of 11. I do like these tables, and don't like these tables. It was nice that we were all able to get seated together and talk together, but the people sitting in the middle had no way of getting out to the bathroom without having everyone get up, and the table was so huge that it wasn't easy to talk to the person on the opposite end without shouting a bit, and i felt a little self conscious about it for disturbing other customers. Though on a Sunday afternoon, the place was quite loud and no one seemed to care much. Cobb Salad with blackened chicken Wow! I never know if my chicken is gonna be good in a Cobb salad... But it was! The "blackened" seasoning was delicious. I had hoped for beef rather than chicken, but the price difference was just not justified in my head. I'm glad i stuck with the chicken, because it was really quite good. The rest of the salad didn't look especially exciting, but it was crunchy fresh, with big wedges of tomatoes, thin slices of bacon, avocado and eggs, and blue cheese crumbles that were very good. Angus burger The meat had great popping flavors. Hany really enjoyed the burger. It looked really good. And the fries that came with were gorgeous to look at, and delicious to munch on. Friends were jealous and regretting their choice... Duck and Waffles His choice of duck and waffles was under-wowing. What a weird combination... a good attempt at fancying up chicken and waffles, i think, but a failure in execution. First, the duck was slow cooked, and not fried. But that was specifically noted on the menu. Don't expect this to be anything like fried chicken. And the dish was glazed with syrup, with blueberry jam+blueberries on the bottom, which made it sweet, but too sweet. You want gravy in this dish and there is a reason why chicken and waffles come with gravy. The waffles were also quite dense and doughy. So a definite no for this dish. Vegetarian Benedict I didn't try this, but friend loved it despite it being vegetarian and him not being vegetarian. Not sure why he got it lol, but he said the flavors were really good. Lobster Benedict This looked even better than the vegetarian Benedict, and friend was impressed. Overall, definitely a place to come back to. Which is what our local friends were doing. lol. They did say they wish they had a rotating specials menu or something, because their menu is not extensive and they come back so often but can always only get what they always get. I, on the other hand, say if you have a good thing going, don't rock the boat! A small menu is always a plus in my mind.

    This place is an absolute must-try while visiting Palm Coast! In my opinion, it's hands down the best restaurant in the area. Not only is it the newest spot in town, but it also offers a fantastic dining experience with air conditioning (a must in Florida!), incredible service, and--most importantly--delicious food that keeps us coming back for more. We've been loyal fans ever since they opened, and we've tried so many dishes from their menu. Let me tell you, they never disappoint! One standout is the peel-and-eat shrimp--it's easily one of our favorites. We've traveled all over Florida, but no other place comes close to how perfectly they prepare this dish. It's a must when you're here! I highly recommend ordering it cold with their spicy rub--it's pure heaven! The flavors are unmatched, and we dream about it every time we leave. The cocktails here are just as impressive. The cucumber jalapeño margarita is an absolute star, but they have a full bar, so you're guaranteed to find something that tickles your fancy. What's even better is that the service is top-notch. There are always plenty of staff members around, and even the manager is visible and ready to assist if needed. Their outdoor seating is another bonus--offering a gorgeous view of the ocean while you dine. It's such a peaceful and picturesque setting, perfect for soaking up the beauty of Palm Coast. I have to give a special shoutout to Cris, our favorite bartender! He's an absolute character--fun, entertaining, and a little kuku (haha sorry Cris, we love you) in the best way possible. He truly adds to the great vibes of this place. There's no happy hour here, but honestly, you won't even notice. The amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere make it worth every penny. This spot has become a permanent part of our Palm Coast tradition, and we'll keep coming back no matter what. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out--you'll leave as happy and satisfied as we always do. See you there!

    Celebrating our anniversary at the Bistro Next Door for a late lunch. The atmosphere is welcoming and the place is spacious. I had the lobster bisque and it was delicious though the amount of lobster was woefully small. In addition I had the roasted beets with fried goat cheese on top of salad greens with candied pecans. That was super tasty! Hubby had a Cesar salad (he gave me the croutons ) and his main course was Fettuccine with jumbo shrimp. Hubby was disappointed with the size of the shrimp since the salad was advertised as 'colossal' shrimp. I tasted his fettuccine and it was in a nice cream sauce however the noodles were a tad bit overdone. That's why the score was 4 stars. It was a nice place to chat, eat, and create new memories. Our server was nice and ensured everything was fine.

    Every about Next Door Beach Bistro is amazing! Whenever I'm in town for work this place is alway a must go. The food is amazing the service is A1 and it provides and nice indoor and outdoor vibe directly across from the beach! I highly recommend this spot!

    Tomato Basil soup of the day
    Susan H.

    High end yet casual, with indoor and outdoor dining. We chose outdoors and enjoyed the view of the beach under a full roof with fans providing a gentle breeze. Between the fans and the ocean breeze, we were very comfortable on this 86 degree day. Our server, Michelle was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, courteous, and professional, she checked on us quite often and kept our drinks of iced tea and water topped off. All of our dishes came out timely and piping hot. We started with the fresh, complimentary bread while waiting for our appetizer and main course. My appetizer of Lobster bisque was decadent and delicious! My husband's soup of the day, Tomato Basil was a bit acidic for his taste and no basil notes. My main was the appetizer Mussels in Thai Coconut which was absolutely delicious and an ample portion for an appetizer. The mussels were perfectly tender and plump in a rich coconut sauce. The accompanying bread was soft as a cloud and slightly toasted. Absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the puréed parsnips side very much. So creamy and yummy. My husband said his Sriracha Chicken Quesadillas were pretty good. He really enjoyed the homemade tortillas and the chicken was okay. He liked the addition of celery for a nice crunch. I'm giving this a full 5 star based on our experience, the staff, and my amazing meal. Would 100% come here again.

    The food was really good, not pictured is the appetizer which was the flatbread, it was very tasty as well. The service staff was very friendly and attentive.

    You could say I'm totally obsessed with this place. From the decor, aesthetic, relaxed atmosphere, amazing drinks, to die for food, perfect location... what's not to like? We stopped in for a late lunch based on a recommendation from locals and I'm so glad we did. We sat at the bar and ordered some of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Next we had a round of raw oysters, they were top notch and the minionette was the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot of varieties. To be honest, I wanted to try one of everything on the menu, but we paired it down to two sandwiches and the mussels. The mussels come in this thai coconut sauce that I practically wanted to drink. I blame this on making me like mussels now. As for the sandwiches -- they were both AMAZING. The fried green tomato and shaved filet mignon, honestly I'd recommend both of those and sharing them within your table so you can have a bite of each. We did opt for the truffle on the filet mignon sandwich to be left on the side as to not overpower it, and I'm glad we did. It really didn't need the truffle to blow our socks off!! I'm so impressed by this place and will be dreaming of the flavors for months to come. If I ever find myself back in Flagler, you better believe I'm stopping here first. Bartender Lee is fabulous and took great care of us!

    Beef Bourguignon
    Rachael R.

    We were pleasantly surprised by our dinner here! A very nice restaurant option in Flagler. We have been to the golden lion before for drinks and wanted to try out this new dinner option cleverly called "next door". There was a long wait when we checked in (they do not do phone ahead or anything which stinks) but you provide your phone number and can easily go have a drink at the golden lion while you wait which is exactly what we did! The restaurant itself was very nice, modern but cozy and clean. A little more elevated ambiance which I appreciated. We decided to go with their prix fix menu since the entrees we wanted to get anyways were on there. The lobster bisque was excellent and I enjoyed the sherry served on the side so you could add as much as you like. Also a very generous serving, I was almost full just after the soup! Their bread was also very good, just white bread with butter but it was tasty nonetheless. Their beef bourguignon and seafood pie were delicious! Also their lobster frites was a great lobster tail both serving size and flavor were spot on. The salmon and frites were also very tasty, however the salad it was served with was lacking. There was literally no or very very little dressing on it which was a bit of a letdown. The desserts weren't bad either and with the prix fix menu a decent price for sure. We would come back!

    Bouilliabasse
    Joan R.

    We had dinner here. Very crowded, busy with patrons. Comfortable atmosphere, extensive menu, friendly service. We 4 ordered, 2 lobster bisque, 1/2 lb burger and fries, fettuccine with chicken, bouilliabaisse,spaghetti squash with chicken. We enjoyed all except my pan fried chicken was very salty and dry with my spaghetti squash and I didn't eat it. Food was plated nicely, came out hot, good portions, a bit pricey in my opinion. However overall an enjoyable evening.

    Tamala was FABULOUS! We came with a large group for a bachelorette and she was amazing! We loved the espresso martinis and lavender martini! We had the most wonderful time!

    This new restaurant has the friendliest hotel and restaurant staff we've ever seen, and great…read moreseating areas. We chose to dine outside under the overhang and cooling fans that kept us cool and comfortable on this hot evening. Our server, Deanna was very personable like the funny family member we all have. As a group of 4, we enjoyed a variety of dishes and appetizers. The starters were the roasted hummus and also the loaded nachos which were beautifully prepared and so tasty! My fried shrimp basket had the most perfectly fried plump, juicy shrimp I've ever had. The chicken dishes were enjoyed by two and one had the fish tacos. The chicken breast used in their chicken dishes was a bit underwhelming, but they enjoyed it. The fish and shrimp were perfect! After our dining experience, we went to the rooftop to check out the bar and views. This place is already a popular addition to Flagler Beach with the elegant tabletops and fully stocked bar. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning as they get more experienced with this already popular restaurant. The menu is a bit limited, but their offerings are pretty well on point.

    The Salty Rim recently opened, and I had a chance to have lunch there today. It was quite busy at…read more1pm on a Tuesday, but we were still able to score an indoor table for our party. There is outdoor seating, but we opted for inside because it was quite warm. Maura was our server, and she was very attentive to our needs before, during, and after our meal. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger, the coconut shrimp platter, and the chicken strips platter. The portions were ample, and everything was very good. The coconut shrimp were particularly large, and the mango Cole slaw had a nice "tropical" flavor. Having seen pics of the menu on Facebook, we knew what to expect regarding pricing. I would say that many of the menu items at The Salty Rim are a bit higher than what you would expect to pay at other restaurants here in FB. In my opinion, when you start pushing north of $16-$17/plate for fried foods/burgers, you're hitting the limit of what people are willing to pay for, at least in this area. With that said, The Salty Rim does provide yet another cool dining option here in wonderful Flagler Beach, Florida. A big "welcome" to all the visitors coming to enjoy our beaches and new hotel. Enjoy your stay!
