    Gnocchi
    Cassie D.

    We love it here, I said it before and I'll say it again: this is a hidden gem in Amelia! It's positively wonderful. The decor is modern yet cozy and everything from the menu to the staff is perfectly curated. Our server Brooklyn was so kind, offered help on the menu and was around everytime we needed her but didn't feel like she was hovering. The menu always has exactly what you are craving and everything is so fresh. We had the bread board which is so fun and always freshly baked. This time went with oysters and a salad to start and then shared the braised short rib and gnocchi for entrees. Everything was so tender and delicious as well as fairly priced. We met another couple on our way out that was also raving about their meal. Definitely try the short rib, it's genuinely exquisite.

    We had a great dinner at Pogo's. We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we walked in. Our server came quickly with water and took our drink order. She was friendly, made enough conversation to make us feel like she was glad we were there but also respected our privacy. We ordered the tuna tartare for an app and it was very good. Then came boiled peanut hummus. This was a free serving that everyone gets. It taste a lot like peanut butter, I didn't really care about it one way or the other but my wife really liked it. For entrees I had the Bolognese and my wife had the seared scallops. My wife commented that the scallops were the best she ever had. She is not one to finish a meal usually but she finished all of this. The Bolognese was very good. The sauce had good flavor, plenty of meat and the cheese was fresh on top. My wife has a severe bell pepper allergy. The server took note of this and everyone who would have contact with our food knew to take special care with her plate. This is a really big deal and I don't know that any place has ever taken this allergy so seriously. This is an upscale place that is still reasonably priced and goes over and above for their customers.

    Really should be 4.5, but Yelp doesn't offer halves. The atmosphere here is always quite mellow. Sunday Brunch in particular. All the food is outstanding, which is why we come back often. The service can be slow and a bit absent - minded. Hence the half star. Overall an excellent experience, though.

    I am torn about my review. Our only complaint was the wait time for our food (I will include the time stamps from my phone). Other than our wait time, we thought everything else was great. The restaurant is beautiful, and service was great. We sat outside; the heaters made it feel very comfortable on a chilly evening. Our food seemed fresh and was very delicious!

    I was in the area with some old friends and Pogo's came recommended from a friend of a friend. We couldn't resist the opportunity to get snazzed up and go out for an evening of good drinks, good food, and a whole lot of catching up. The weather was not the best and we were running a little late. The restaurant was understanding and helped us shift our reservation to accommodate our late arrivals. Once there, we ordered a round of cocktails and then some shareables. My very favorite was the boiled peanut hummus served with grilled pita, which had strong pad Thai vibes. It was delicious! My second favorite was the calamari. It was well flavored and perfectly cooked. The group also tried the cheese board and burrata. Some in the group weren't a fan of the mortadella on the cheese board. For dinner, I had the lasagna. It wasn't a traditional, casserole-style dish. It was rolled up layers and then grilled/sautéed on the ends to give a nice sear. Then it was served on a big schmear of sauce. It was very fresh (had farm to table vibes) and I could taste the vegetables in the rolls (yum!). Sadly, we didn't try desserts because it was late and we were stuffed. Goals for next time ...

    Pogo's Kitchen is a hidden gem located at Amelia Island. I found out about this restaurant when I was looking for a venue place and this place pop up on zola, i was intrigued so I told my husband I want to go visit this place and the rest was history. Pogo's Kitchen is in the middle of Oak trees when you are driving around Amelia Island, It is closed to Omni hotel, they have plenty of parking spots so it's a win win already on that part. Food: Highly recommend, went here this past Saturday evening to have our food tasting (yes, we booked Pogo's Kitchen) for our appetizer we tried the oysters, we picked the Pogo's version and the regular version which was both pretty good! Oysters was so fresh and the seasoning they put in there was fantastic! we also got the chance to try the she crab soup which was creamy and the lump crab on the middle was perfect! as for dinner we had the braised beef, char grilled fillet and the pan seared halibut as for our sides we had fingerling potatoes, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and we added broccolini. the favorites was the char grilled fillet and the halibut. ohhh you know the chef knows what they are doing if they did not ask you how you want your steak but when it came out it was AMAZINGLY PERFECT!, the Halibut, the freshest and juiciest fish I ever tried! as for the sides winner was the mashed potatoes, asparagus and the broccolini, but of course we have to try dessert we had the berry cobbler and the pecan tart... I was obsessed with the pecan tart! I can eat that everyday lol. all in all, i love Pogo's Kitchen, the staff are always on point. Wade did a marvelous job serving us and he was very attentive! also, this place gives a very romantic and yet elegant vibe! they have outdoor seating as well not much but they do.

    Drinks, beautiful restaurant

The interior is quite spacious and has several different rooms, all very inviting. The place was busy when we arrived, which gave it an inviting and lively, although slightly noisy vibe. The barkeeps were busy and it was kind of fun watching them work together as they mixed poured various drinks. We decided we were in the mood for their Smoked Old Fashioned so that's what we ordered. At $22 each, I was expecting something a bit more than what we got. The barkeep made both of our drinks in a tumbler using only 1 shot of Woodford bourbon. Total. They were tasty enough, but tiny. I felt or the price we paid we would have at least gotten two drinks, not one split between us. We enjoyed our time there, but we decided one and done was good enough. We didn't reorder.

    Hands-Down the Best Cocktail Bar on Amelia Island!…read more The Decantery is an upscale but low-key spot with great lounge vibes. I walked in after a workout and still felt completely at home and surrounded by like-minded people. The ambiance is outstanding: fresh renovation, warm lighting, great seating, and music that's perfectly mixed and not too loud. The service was impeccable, with attentive bartenders. I had the charcuterie board... phenomenal. And an Espresso martini, easily the best on the island. If you want a place that feels like you're hanging out at a friend's beautifully curated space, The Decantery is it. Perfect vibe, perfect drinks, perfect night.
