4828 First Coast Highway
Amelia Islands, FL 32034
Fernandina Beach, situated on the East Coast of Amelia Island, is a fabulous vacation hideaway. Less than six hours from Atlanta, Katy has a condo at The Captain's House that we visited for the weekend. Renters welcome! With minimal choices for dinner on Open Table, we compared some local spots and chose Horizons, which also gave us 1,000 dining points.
After scouring the beach all day for shark's teeth, we made our way towards The Plantation for dinner. We were greeted by the amicable manager who not only escorted us to our table, but cut-up with us throughout the night which made for a pleasant evening. To start, I ordered the lobster bisque that was decent, but nothing out of this world. Katy's grilled Romaine with Brie and lump crab meat was delicious. For entrees, I ordered the special, which was a blackened fish (can't remember) with sweet potato puree and grilled asparagus while Katy dominated the potato crusted grouper with thyme cream accompanied by an assortment of vegetables.
In our opinion, the food was good, but overpriced due to the mostly tourist population. When we return to The Captain's House, we will continue to enjoy the quaint town and collecting shark's teeth, but will opt to try a different fine dining experience.
