Service was good but the food was fabulous! My husband and I had eaten seafood already during our stay at Amelia so we both went with beef on this night. He ordered the rib eye and I ordered the prime rib. Both were cooked perfect and were just delicious. The cream brûlée was wonderful and the coffee was the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back on our next visit.
A huge “Thank You” to all at Joe’s 2nd Street Bistro for making my dad’s 85th birthday celebration a whopping success. It was a meal he won’t soon forget and I can’t express my gratitude enough. Specifically Owners Mari and her husband Chef Ricky, and server Brian. I worked with Mari for a few weeks on the particulars via email and everything was spot on! From the chilled bottle of Prosecco awaiting us as we arrived, to the lemons for the water, and the menus with no prices, every detail I asked for was honored with professionalism and a willingness to please. Brian was outstanding in explaining the fare and specials, answering the questions we had about the origin of the seafood and which is better, the bouillabaisse or the linguine with shrimp and scallops (we ordered both), splitting up a double order of the crab cakes appetizer onto individual plates, and giving us the time we needed between courses to enjoy each other’s company. The food was superb and expertly prepared. Mari and Chef Ricky even stopped by our table to chat and wish my father a happy birthday. We will be singing the praises of this experience to everyone who asks. Well done and kudos! Pat yourselves on the back and take a bow. You deserve it!! As we say in Italian, Grazie mille per un buon pasto e serata! 1000 thank you’s for a beautiful meal and evening!!
Once again another return visit. This time Maryland crab cakes, Shrimp & Grits and salmon sandwich. Every meal we had has been excellent. My favorite was shrimp & grits. Great service also. Reservations are needed.
Absolutely the best service we've had in a while. Our waters were refilled the minute they were low, and we had everything we needed the moment we needed it.
Food was absolutely perfect. Pictured is the Chicken Penne, and the seasoning was just enough to enjoy it and not enough to be overwhelming. Nice and light but filling.
The only downside is how warm the restaurant is. It was already hot outside already so going from 97-100 degrees outside to basically the same temperature with no breeze was rough. Though as the sun went down it did get cooler and was manageable.
Lovely quaint bistro in the heart of downtown Fernandina Beach. Excellent menu options, consistently delicious food, nice wine list! Reservations suggested.
Wonderful start to finish. Excellent flavors.
We tried: chicken and andouille sausage wonton, crab stuffed shrimp, pork chop, linguini, and their three desserts.
The cinnamon roll bread pudding was the absolute best of the three desserts.
Definitely put this place on your lost of places. From drinks, apps, salad, dinner, dessert and service was a wow!
Lovely restaurant with great service. Grouper in corn husk wrapper was fantastic. Good selection of beer. A little pricey, but overall very good.
We had the rib eye and shrimp and grits. The rib eye was one of the best I've ever had. The shrimp and grits were very good. One meal was ordered off of the menu that included an appetizer, entre, dessert, and coffee. I had a salad for the appetizer. It was good, but only about 1/2 the size of the salads on the regular menu.
The water does not taste like regular Florida water, it was very drinkable.
Amazing restaurant in downtown Fernandina Beach. The menu and food were very creative. The mixture of ingredients to create the flavor profiles was well thought out. The staff was friendly and attentive.
What a find! First time here, the food was excellent! They made their own ketchup! Delicious!
So my fiancée has the Bistro Salad while I went to the fresh catch of day sandwich... both our lunches were excellent! Everything appeared & visually felt as it was freshly prepared... the fries, fish was cooked perfectly, not overly done not under just perfect!
We had a zero wait time when walked in and the atmosphere was very pleasant! Very relaxing place, the colors on the walls ceiling was calming and fit this place oh-so-swell! 👍👍👍
We really enjoyed dinner at Joe’s 2nd Street Bistro tonight. The service was excellent and all of the food was fresh and well prepared. We had the crab stuffed shrimp as a starter. It was delicious even though I wish the portion was just a little larger. For dinner, my husband had the grilled ribeye with three sauces and I had one of the specials, which was a coffee rubbed New York strip steak with jalapeño cheddar grits. We will definitely come back to Joe’s again when we make our next visit to Fernandina Beach.
