David's Restaurant & Lounge

Fantastic dinner!

My wife loved her Dover Sole. I had Chilean Sea Bass with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The potatoes were runny. I like the restaurant for special occasions but the seafood does not compare with Espana for freshness.

This was our first time time here. We came during restaurant week, and we’re so glad we did! Our waiter Ryan was exceptional! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the service. We will definitely be coming back!

This is the nicest place to eat on the island.

The food was excellent and the service was what you would expect for a fine dining experience.

Much needed date night

We came to David’s for the start of Restaurant week. Courteous and attentive service from waiter and staff. We were a party of four. Friends and husband chose the surf and turf option, and I had the octopus special. Simply delicious. It’s always a treat to dine at David’s.

Food and service were great! Wonderful place for special occasions!

Great food and attentive service. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

David's offer of various dishes are tempting enough to try them all. The Spanish Octopus starter was the best we have ever had. The food was delicious and the service was just right. We can always count on a wonderful meal at David's! The booths are very private which make it super Covid Friendly!!

Everything was perfect, as usual.

Lived up to its reviews. Visiting for my wife's birthday. Great meal.

Great food, great service. Would like to see different dishes added to menu, to keep it exciting.

Scallops best main course. Caesar salad well made and option to get half size

If you want a special experience in every way, including feeling safe dining indoors, then this is an outstanding choice.

We went to David's for an anniversary celebration and experienced a perfect evening of fine food and attentive service from Ryan our waiter. The interior of the restaurant is tastefully appointed, and the food from appetizers to dessert was delicious and well presented. The staff took special effort to highlight our celebration with tasteful gestures throughout the dinner. David's is an absolute gem of a restaurant.

Spent my birthday at David's - again!! The ambiance, food and service were excellent! Zack took great care of us. I highly recommend David's as a place for everything from casual dining to celebrations! You won't be sorry!

One of our best dining experiences in Fernandina! We visit often and this was our first time having dinner at David's. We will definitely be back. Great Food! Great Service! Great Atmosphere!

Simply divine! We went there for my wife’s birthday. She was made to feel so special. Vanessa was an outstanding server. And the food was just what you would expect from a five-star restaurant - outstanding! We will be back; that’s for sure. :)

The caviar service was impeccable and the food was all excellent especially the scallops, the steak very good as well.

Atmosphere was excellent. Patrons were spaced well due to Covid. Chilean Sea Bass was perfect, Filet Mignon was perfect, the special bone-in New York Strip was not quite as good as expected. Service was very good, server was knowledgeable and courteous.

The apps we ordered were good, but the (expensive) aged ribeye was unacceptable. Especially for a high end steak restaurant. Mine was tough, but edible, but my husband's was so grisly he had to send it back. We ended up just sharing mine. The waitress was nice enough to comp our dessert, but I feel the management should have addressed it. We won't be going back.

Always perfect.

We have eaten here several times and are never disappointed.
Excellent service
Wonderful food

We had reservations for 3 for New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, our daughter was not feeling well. Not wanting to leave her alone, we decided to get dinner-to-go. The staff at David’s went out of their way to make the evening easy and enjoyable!

Shawn did a great job and the food was superb as usual.

Always a winner for an upscale dining experience in Fernandina beach. A cut above. Great lounge. Wonderful food. Excellent service with no pretense.
We have made this our go to place for close by celebrations and occasions. Just celebrated New Years Eve two nights ago. The carpaccio is great. Freshest seafood from Mayport shrimp To the grouper and Chilean sea bass. Foie gras and cold water lobster. All top notch!

Was spending a week on Amelia Island, and made dinner reservations at David's for New Year's Eve. What an absolute delight! It has a beautiful interior, the noise level was low, the meals were delicious, and our server (can't recall his name) was extremely cordial.

New Year’s eve dinner was delicious. Felt very COVID safe with well spaced tables and all servers in masks. Beautiful unpretentious setting. My only fault was that they charged a six dollar split plate fee for a $56 steak with an $18 lobster add on. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We always go to David’s since we had our rehearsal dinner there. Food and service are amazing.

Excellent evening! Great food, attentive service but not rushed in the slightest, good background music and chic decor. Turned out to be a super Christmas dinner.

They had a lot of customers for Christmas evening, so they actually did pretty well considering the volume on a holiday evening. The atmosphere was outstanding, even though we were seated in the bar (not AT the bar, but IN the bar), which we knew beforehand would be the case. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive; the only knock would be that things were a bit slow (probably because of the many customers being served).
The food was over-herbed and too "garlicky" (it repeated on both of us through most of the following day).
The price was way too high considering comparable dining experiences.

A great dinner from start to finish service was exceptional ! Will definitely be returning again.

Everything was perfection, from the ambiance to the food. Our waiter Kendal was excellent. He has tge perfect demeanor. Knowledgeable and accommodating. We had the crab bisque, wedge sakad, filet oscar, salted caramel cake, creme brulee and flourless chocolate torte. Scrumptious. we stayed just next door at the Amelia Island Williams House B&B, which is one of the nicest establishments we've ever been fortunate enough to stay at. The combo made for a perfect holiday vacation. I highly recommend both!

I’ll blame COVID, but was nowhere near the same experience as last year, not even offered Coffee with desert. Set menu price was too high for the return...

Have been to David's several times and have never been disappointed.

I've never been disappointed in David's, and tonight was no exception. Great service from Kendall. Brie appetizer, beet salad, potato soup all wonderful. We each had different meals, all great (steak, chicken picatta, grouper special, sea bass). Portion sizes are adequate, but you're not going home with leftovers. Nice wine list, great bartender who does perfect cocktails. A go to on the island.

One of the steaks that we ordered was over done. The restaurant did remove it from the bill and redid the order. The service was not as good as previous visits.

Food was exceptional and presentation well done. Our server Shawn had excellent knowledge of the menu and was very helpful answering our questions or making suggestions. We will definitely be back especially to celebrate special occasions

We had a wonderful time!
