DINING AT
THE RESORT
From fine dining to casu
al restaurants, Amelia Island
Plantation offers something
for everyone.
At Ocean Grill, you find
fine dining at the resort’s most
elegant restaurant. I started my
meal with wonderful creamy
Lobster Bisque with roast
ed lobster tail and tarragon
oil. Next up was Sabal Palm
Salad with candied pecans
and balsamic vinaigrette. For
my entree, I had pan seared
red snapper with lemon saf
fron fregula. Dessert choices
include cheesecake and creamy
chocolate cake. Each course
was wonderful and it’s a great
place for a special dinner.
The Verandah is a great spot
for wonderfully fresh seafood.
I started off with jumbo shrimp
and crab cocktail and chose
for me entree, the Red House
Snapper with seasoned house
blend herbs and spices topped
with soft blue crab crust and
finished with a butter sauce.
For a perfect ending, try a slice
of key lime pie.
For a great meal in a casu
al setting, go to the Falcon’s
Nest where the appetizers are
the best part of the meal. We
sampled Blue Moon Shrimp,
jumbo shrimp cooked in spices
and served chilled with cock
tail sauce; fried green beans,
tempura battered and served
with lemon aioli; and wings
served with celery, carrots and
homemade bleu cheese dress
ing. For my entree, I had the
blackened grouper sandwich
served with a spicy remoulade
on a toasted Kaiser roll.
The Beach Club Grill offers
burgers, sandwiches, wraps
and salads. Dining is offered
inside or outside by the pool.
One afternoon, I dined pool-
side and enjoyed a bucket of
shrimp. Another day, I went
inside to the cool dining room
and enjoyed a tuna salad.
Marche Burette Deli is an
old-fashioned gourmet food
market and deli offering break
fast and lunch. It’s a great
place to grab a meal while at
the spa or biking.
A great place to start the
day is at Sunrise Cafe where
you can overlook the Atlantic
while enjoying a buffet break
fast. Omelets made to order,
traditional eggs, grits and
meats, pastries and fruit are
among the offerings.
Room service is another
great option during your
stay. One morning, I sat on
my deck at the Amelia Inn
and watched the sunrise as
I enjoyed scrumptious bagel
with smoked salmon and
fresh fruit, along with fresh-
squeezed orange juice.
The Amelia Inn Lobby is
a great place to gather in the
evenings. Live entertainment
is offered. It’s a fun place to
wind down in the evenings
and relax with friends in a
cozy setting.
