Continental Steak and Seafood on Amelia Island

These are my three go-to places for Steaks, Chops, and elegant seafood.  I have recently been to all three for dinner and in each and every case my experience was 5 star.  Food is prepared perfectly, service is elegant and professional, and the atmosphere is relaxing and elegant.  I highly recommend each one.

Bob's Omni Amelia Island 
80 Amelia Village Circle, Fernandina FL 904-432-2201 

Dinner at Bob's isn't just a meal, it's an experience with a lively atmosphere and simple elegance. Bob's offers prime steaks, chops, and seafood served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. At Bob's, dinner comes with your choice of potato and our iconic glazed carrot, giving you a great value. Once you experience Bob's special brand of service and food, it won't be long until you're a regular. I have eaten here often and the food and service are some of the best around. Both their steak and seafood items are perfectly cooked and all ingredients are fresh daily. The wine list is extensive. It is a great place for a business dinner or dinner with family and friends. 

David's 
802 Ash St. on the corner of 8th street Fernandina FL 904-310-6049 

The ART of Dining! At David's Restaurant, they serve the finest seafood and meats available on Amelia Island. Start your night off with Champagne and our New Caviar Menu. The mouthwatering menu features a wide selection of delicious entrees such as Filet Oscar, Rack of Lamb & Grilled Delmonico Rib Eye. On the Seaside Dover Sole, Truffle Scallops, Chilean Sea Bass & the New Mediterranean Ravioli. Alaskan King Crab Clusters are not to be believed. I have had them twice and as I recall they have always been 3 pounds or better. I am unable to eat all of it and take home a doggie bag and have crab at home for 2 days. Nightly Catch of the Day as well. The elegant presentation & experienced seasoned wait staff makes dining at David's Restaurant a unique intimate romantic dining experience. You will not be disappointed. 

Capital Grille, St. John's Center, Jacksonville, FL 
5157 Big Island Dr. Jacksonville FL 904-997-9233 

OK, not really on Amelia Island but if you take Hecksher Blvd South to I-295 South to St. John's Center, as a rule, you can be there in about 30 minutes and it is a scenic drive. But the quality of the food and service to me is 5 stars and the difference is worth the distance. Both the food and wine menus are extensive and they have some of the best chef's in town who basically directly supervise and inspect each and every plate before being served. They are obsessed with quality in my opinion. Their impressive menu of nationally renowned dry-aged steaks and the freshest of seafood will ignite your culinary imagination while their award-winning wine list of more than 5,000 bottles awakens your inner sommelier. you’ll experience firsthand why the American Culinary Federation recently bestowed upon them their “Achievement of Excellence Award.” Service is 5 star and professional and they are more than willing to work with you with any special requests. They also have gone out of their way to support many charitable efforts in the community and donated frankly more than their fair share to local charitable organizations.
