Our kids even couldn't stop talking about the great food! Hands down the best dining experience of our trip!4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMJavatales favorite on Amelia IslandThe service was excellent and well paced.The salmon was delicious but could have been enhanced with a few thin slices of sweet onion (but who knows -- I'm a New Yorker).We did a "surf and turf" concept; sea bass special and sweet tea pork. Both entrees were outstanding! For dessert we split the warm donut special which was a bit disappointing. The interior space is small so I would recommend eating on the porch. 29 South was one of the most memorable meals I've had in awhile.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is one of the bestThis place is one of the best places we've been. Wonderful food, great service, and the "coffee and doughnuts" dessert is delightfully different.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was the best food we hadIt was the best food we had on Amelia Island. We enjoyed the fried grouper sandwich, soft chicken tacos, shrimp and grits and pizza. The desserts were awesome and very large. We shared two desserts between five of us and left some dessert on the plate.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMA very special place, everythingA very special place, everything was outstanding, I highly recommend it3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat choiceMy wife and I had one night to out on the town from a conference and picked 29 South. We had never been there before. Chef Bret blew us away with some of the finest dishes. We had the simple crust appetizers, pulled pork egg rolls, followed up by the pork chop in an apricot sauce which was over the top good. My wife had the shrimp and grits a local favorite which was just as great. Our server was cool and had loved upstairs in the house many years ago. Great time great service .....keep it up and we will be back!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother Great Meal at 29 South!!!Every time we travel from North Carolina we make reservations in advance at 29 South. Over six years we have never been disappointed in the food or service. This time the mussels with roasted tomato was over the top.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMIt made our trip to AmeliaIt made our trip to Amelia Island a memorable one.....3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe eat here yearly and haveWe eat here yearly and have enjoyed it each year. The food and service has always been excellent. We eat here during one of the busiest weekends on the island and even with the added hustle and bustle they don't seem to miss a beat.
I must say this year my meal was the best yet! The chef's special NY Strip with whipped potatoes, haricots verts, and a horseradish crema. Yummmmm! All of the dishes that my husband and I have tried over the last several years have not disappointed. This year we had friends with us that aren't foodies - they were leery of the "fancy-pants" menu - and they each cleaned their plate.
