Best Healthy Restaurants in Fernandina Beach

This restaurant consistently has great food and service. Excellent selection of diverse menu items and price points. We shared a cup of blue crab bisque and caesar salad. Both were perfectly prepared with great flavors. Soup was rich and salad nicely dressed. We had the shrimp and grits (lots of sweet shrimp!) and the special grouper on bed of guinoa with mixture of butternut squash, zucchini mixed in. A light sauce on top of fish with red pepper pesto. Grouper pan-sautéd perfectly. Both entrées were good sized portions. Service is personable and timely. We would like to try other restaurants in the area, but always come back to Halyards.

The food was excellent. It was absolutely nothing about this restaurant I would change. We had A waiter named Randy. He was exceptional. He was a attentive and friendly. I hope to eat there again soon. I would ask for Randy to be my server again.

Fernando at the wine tasting bar was fabulous! Great recommendations and personality.

My wife and I arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and were immediately seated. The wait staff was very attentive to helping us settle in for our anniversary dinner! Our waiter was very pleasant and answered all of our questions regarding our dining plans. We selected the six course dining adventure and added an order of escargot that was perfectly inserted as “course 2B” of our delicious dining experience! The remainder of our meal was a wide bar of chef’s choices that were all very tasty and, at the end of our meal, quite filling! Since we had mentioned that this was indeed a special celebration for us each member of the staff took the time to wish us a happy anniversary as they reliably attended to our being guided through our dining adventure. At the end of our meal, we were surprised by a special desert prepared noting our special day along with an autographed copy of our personalized menu signed by everyone who had assisted us throughout our two and one-half hour leisurely meal! All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our most recent time at Mathew’s Restaurant and will certainly be making plans to return again!

We love the breakfast buffet!! One of the best out there and one of the main reasons we love the Omni Amelia Island.
