Enjoyed splitting a peel and eat shrimp app, and appreciated the provided wet naps! Was very much looking forward to the crispy flounder but ended up rather disappointed. The batter wasn't as crunchy as I'd have expected given the dishes name, and the flounder was dryer than a nice fresh filet would have been. The plate was only redeemed by the crispy fries.

The lobby bar offers the best drinks with an oceanfront view. They have these great little bar snacks that are included. A touch back to old school high end lounges. And then we venture over to the casual sports bar that has the most amazing pretzel ever! Served with beer cheese sauce and a nice mustard sauce. They offer local shrimp, burgers, salads, pizzas which are great but huge, basically elevated bar food. Our servers in both venues were great! We enjoyed it a few weeks ago and plan on returning soon. Check it out!

After having to ask for service, our order was finally taken -- and then the very long wait began. By 9:00, only some of our party had received their food, and unfortunately I was not among them. I eventually cancelled my order and just shared food from others at the table. Honestly, it seemed like the lone server was completely overwhelmed with the number of tables assigned. Very disappointing experience

Exceptional Service That Turned a Mishap into a Great Memory…read moreI recently had an issue with a thoughtful gift certificate my son sent me for The Boat House. In a moment of clumsiness, I accidentally deleted the email and thought it was gone for good. I reached out in desperation, and to my surprise, manager Colin personally stepped in. He contacted corporate right away and made sure the gift certificate was resent to me promptly. That kind of care and follow-through is rare these days, and it speaks volumes about the family-oriented, customer-first culture at The Boat House. It made me even more excited for our next visit. Thank you, Colin, and the whole team -- you've gained a loyal customer and turned what could have been a frustrating situation into one that highlights why The Boathouse stands out. Highly recommend!

We were early, but quickly and kindly seated in a comfortable booth. Service and the branzino dish were excellent. Other dishes were rather mediocre. We ordered: * Cesar: basic * Daily Ceviche: good, though I prefer a spicier preparation * Sea Bass: disappointing and lacking flavor, according to my dining partner * Branzino du Jour: grilled over hot coals, prepared with rich mushroom risotto, truffles, and lumps of lobster. Stand out dish of the evening. While I absolutely adored my branzino dish, it was not worth the long drive. My pescatarian dining partner was deeply disappointed in the taste and plating of the food -- particularly compared to better nearby options like 14 Prime and Medure. I could have gone for a slice of rich, dense chocolate cake for dessert, but they only had creamy things. We passed. All in all, I'm glad I got to try David's.

We haven't been to Pogo's since they revamped the menu. We liked the food in prior years, but the…read moremenu was sort of scattershot. Now it's clearly Italian, leaning modern. The decor really hasn't changed; it's still one of the nicest rooms on the island. We showed up with three bottles of wine from deep in our cellar, and they handled them well. I offered to cork the 2015 Chablis, as I was a little unsure about the cork stability, and they were fine with that. (By the by, the wine was fine; absolutely wonderful, in fact). Our party of 7 ordered across the menu; the burrata starter (with an extra order of focaccia, as suggested by the server), the meatballs, the suppli, and 1/2 dozen of the east coast oysters. The oysters were great; small, shallow cup, briny and fresh. The suppli were small, but cut into bite size portions, we shared them around, and the taste was all there. The meatballs were slightly smaller than we thought they'd be, but they were meaty, juicy, and came in a ragu that perfectly complemented them. The burrata was the star of the show; fresh, milky, and accompanied with diced tomatoes, onions and strawberries. We were in luck with out entrees; they had their burger on the menu. The burger is made from scraps of their Waygu steak. It was served on a toasted brioche bun with melted cheese, house burger sauce, and house made pickles. The fries were delivered extra crispy, as I requested. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Truly spectacular. The pastas really shone; the lobster ravioli were wonderful (though the portion was a little smaller than we thought is should be) with thin hand stuffed pasta and plentiful lobster filling; the pasta carbonara was wonderful (and prepared with guanciale, as it should be), and the English pea and mint agnolotti was a vegetarian's dream. The smoked chicken lasagna was a huge portion served in a cast iron coquette; I seem to recall it from the old menu, and it was as good as always. We were all stuffed after our feast, but we still had room to share some of the mini cannolis. They were made à la minute; no mushy pastry shell here. First class dessert Service was good, pricing was reasonable, and the atmosphere was lovely; highly recommended for modern Italian on Amelia Island.

She's the nicest person, so bubbly and friendly, and it's the perfect way to start the evening. The bar staff is wonderful and consistently attentive.
