Dinner ideas

Hi again-

We are wrapping up our time here in Amelia Island. It has been dreamiy! Looking for recommendations for dinner in the downtown area. We have some adventurous eaters and not so adventurous. Some like seafood and some don’t. Kids ages: 22, 17, 16.

Thank you for your suggestions! :)

Amelia Island’s downtown area offers a nice mix of dining options that cater to both adventurous eaters and those who prefer familiar dishes. Since your group has a mix of seafood lovers and picky eaters, it’s best to pick places with diverse menus or casual spots where everyone can find something they like.

Here are some recommended dinner spots in downtown Amelia Island:

  • The Salty Pelican – Great for seafood with a casual, fun atmosphere. They have plenty of options beyond seafood like burgers, sandwiches, and salads, so even the less adventurous eaters will find something they enjoy.
  • Salt – A more upscale option offering modern American cuisine with seafood and meat dishes. The menu is varied, and the presentation is excellent for a slightly special night out.
  • Timoti’s Seafood Shak – A casual, family-friendly spot with fresh seafood, tacos, and sandwiches. It’s perfect for groups with younger adults and teens.
  • Le Clos – If you’re looking for French-inspired cuisine, Le Clos offers sophisticated dishes but also has approachable options for kids and picky eaters.
  • Espana Restaurant & Tapas – Tapas style makes it fun to share dishes. Offers both seafood and meat options, so everyone can try a variety without committing to one entrée.

Additional tips for dining in downtown Amelia Island:

  • Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, as these popular spots can fill up quickly.
  • Check for outdoor seating if you’d like to enjoy the charming streets and cooler evening air.
  • For adventurous eaters, consider ordering a couple of small plates to share so everyone can sample something new without committing to a full dish.

Overall, these options provide a nice balance of flavors and dining experiences for your group, ensuring everyone—from seafood lovers to picky eaters—has a satisfying dinner to wrap up your Amelia Island visit.
