This is a review strictly for the restaurant I have never stayed at this place. First off I am surprised that there is only 7 reviews on this joint. It has been an Amelia Island 'staple' for many years. There seem to be some odd reviews about folks expecting resort style service or maybe they are just picky I am... More

We were referred to eat at the Surf Restaurant- outdoors there is food and a bar and a band on the weekends.. and it is packed.. so we opted to eat indoors. There it is a plain jane sports bar- most small towns have better - with tv's going, noise and smoke. Ordered some fish sandwiches which were over priced... More

Ive lived in Fernandina for 4 years and the Surf has the worst service on the entire island. Mediocre food, over-priced, but you can't beat all you can eat wings on wednesday nights; Great place to eat if you want to sit outside and listen to a live band, but dont expect too much out of service.

We did not stay at the hotel, just ate at the restaurant. It is a divey place for locals who like to drink and smoke. a Burger joint. We asked what fish was fresh and she said everything was frozen except the oysters - which were breaded and fried. Even the crab soup was fake crab. We got the Shrimp... More

My husband, some friends and I went to The Surf last weekend and had the absolute worst experience. Never in my life have I been treated so poorly by not only the waitress, but the hostess and the manager! When we arrived we decided that we wanted to sit outside on the patio. Since it was a Friday night the... More

My wife and I ate here on Tuesday, October 17, 2006 for dinner. The restaurant claims to have a view of the ocean, which is across Fletcher Avenue behind a condo and motel. It was dark so I could not confirm this. Most of the restaurant is an open deck area. There is some seating under cover around the perimeter... More

I have been to Fernandina Beach several times vacationing and the place that my family and I love the most has been The Surf Restaurant. The atmosphere on the deck outside is great with two bars and live music all the time. The food is great and the service is better. Great drinks all the time and just a cool... More
