Discovered this gem while in town for a work conference - Hannah H., our server was lovely, personable, and attentive. She has good recommendations for us as well. We felt very welcome and appreciated. Started with the drunken cheesy bread at the behest of some Yelp reviews and was not disappointed! Mussels were tender in a flavorful broth. French 75 was delicious and beautiful. Casual but lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend both our server and the restaurant
I cannot tell you how obsessed I am with Patio Our server Aubrey was so sweet, genuine, quick and so attentive! I didn’t realize the day we went the burgers were selling for a special, so it was very busy. Aubrey was taking care of tables inside and outside as well as the hostess stand, but still kept our drinks full and checked-in regularly. She recommended the berry salad and I added salmon because skin benefits Aubrey also mentioned the live music and espresso martinis The Patio offers, so I’m going back for happy hour Always going to request Aubrey to take care of us every visit, she’s the best
We came in today for the 1/2 price appetizers from 3-6 pm and sat on the patio. We ordered the Drunken Cheesy Bread, Fernandina Famous Meatballs and Bavarian Pretzel. All three were amazing! Our server, Chelsea was fantastic and the atmosphere, despite it being a cooler afternoon was warm and cozy with the addition of outdoor heaters! We had such a great experience we look forward to returning during our stay for Restaurant Week!
We ordered appetizers, drinks, and meals for a party of 9. Every single dish was great. 6 shareables for 6.00each, yes! Happy hour, yes! Live music, perfect patio atmosphere for kids and adults alike. Chelsea handled our crazy crew with grace, and this meal was worth every penny. We will be back for sure!
The Patio is an absolute gem for hanging out with family, friends, or even a romantic date night! With live music that sets the perfect mood, an unbeatable happy hour, and mouthwatering food, it’s a place you won’t want to miss. We kicked things off with the cheesy bread as an appetizer, and then dove into the amazing happy hour drinks that paired perfectly with our meal. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, a Amy Vickery took the stage, captivating us with an incredible performance! I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable experience!
This spot far surpassed expectations!! It was wonderful. I highly recommend the cauliflower pizza, even if you aren’t gluten free. It was warm cheese and the flavor was deep!! It was an amazing option on the menu. A gluten free delight! There was live music and it was a really wonderful musician which added a great ambiance. My friends also loved the shrimp and grits. I would most definitely field come back if I was visiting here again.
Popular dinner spot in the historic district. The food was terrific. My wife had a salad with blackened shrimp, and I had the shrimp and grits. Both were excellent and came with a lot of plump shrimp. The crab cakes app was exceptional as well, and was loaded with lump crab meat.
Update: Saturday went so well that we came back Sunday afternoon for appetizers and drinks. It was good fortune that we had the pleasure of Amanda's great service again. The meatballs didn't disappoint and highly suggest you try them! The flatbread was tasty but quickly got soggy with all the toppings. Wish we didn't go home on Monday because we probably would have eaten here again. We went the Saturday 5/31 around 4:30 pm for a late lunch/early dinner and sat outside. We had the blackened grouper with cheese grits and the cajun penne chicken pasta, starting with a wedge salad. Portions on both entrees were plentiful and enough for us to bring some home. The wedge salad was fantastic and our favorite part is the meal! Sadly, the key lime pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the green gelatinous garnish/sauce on the plate was unpleasant in both taste and texture. The smoked honey old fashioned was amazing - so I had 2 because the happy hour prices made it easy to say yes! Top notch service was provided by Amanda. Highly recommend The Patio.
