   We use to love this place. Maybe they just had a bad day. I didn't care for the crab Benedict. We received our food . We had to ask about the coconut shrimp appetizer. She had forgot about it. We got it after our meal and it was over cooked. The music player was great. We always come here at least 3 times a year when we are in town. Hopefully it will be better next time. We will give them one more change.

   What a wonderful lunch we had sitting on the deck under red umbrellas looking out over the exquisite Atlantic. Perfect. Add to that the food was delicious. We love The Reef but it’s an hour’s drive so we don’t get to enjoy as often as we’d like. But we were returning from a stay on Fernandina Beach and it’s a perfect stop on our way home. We will never miss an opportunity to dine here.

   We came for what we thought was Easter Brunch. Our reservation was at 11:15 but when seated and given the menu, we discovered the Easter Menu was a dinner menu. The food and service was good but the overall experience was not as expected. I take responsibility for that but post this to help others looking for “brunch” as Mother’s Day is approaching. Just make sure you clarify with the Reef if you are looking for any breakfast options.

   Enjoyed a meal at the Reef on Easter weekend. The four of us were seated promptly. Our waiter/server, Joe (Joey?) was excellent. Food was good (as were the bar drinks). A no-hassle, relaxing experience.

   Had a fabulous meal on the deck overlooking the ocean! Service was exceptional! We ordered from the brunch menu. Meals come with fruit cup, muffins and champagne. I ordered the 3 omelette which was huge and cooked perfectly! My boyfriend got the Shrimp and grits which he LOVED! The shrimp were huge. Great value for all you get! Will make this our go to place!

   I really enjoyed my first visit to The Reef. I would frequent again if I was a local. As much as I would love to give a full overall 5-star rating, a few annoyances keep me from doing so. The hostess went beyond to find us an outdoor table which was appreciated.

   Mussels appetizer is amazing as always. Prime Rib… not good.. Mahi dinner… tasteless. Green beans as house veggies- still had all stems on- tasted awful like not washed or cooked- as if hot water just poured over them As we were celebrating our anniversary… Key Lime pie was amazing 🤩 as always!!! ❤️❤️
