Coast

Great meal! We got the grilled mahi sandwich with side green salad and burger with fries. Topped it off with the 11 Layer chocolate espresso cake. O. M. G. All fabulous. Service was perfect. Toni greeted us beautifully, anticipated our needs and made the experience delightful. And the VIEW. WOWO. From the ocean to the tropical pool view it is stunning. A live guitar player completed the ambiance. Love this resort. !!

Wow, loved our dinner here! I have always wanted to come check out the Ritz and this was the perfect excuse to! Pulling up is so pretty, you valet your car then head inside, right now they are under renovations, so we kinda walked around the long way to get in which was fine cause we got to see more of the property which was Huge! They have maybe 4/5 restaurants inside, including Salt (which I wanna try!) Walking into Coast, it's so pretty, they have a beautiful heated patio and great space inside. Let me tell you everything was great, excellent service, food was so good!! We liked everything we got, no complaints at all! Also side note the kids petit filet was such a nice kids meal, big upgrade from standard kids meals! :)Would love to return!

The end of restaurant week was a sold-out show at Coast!Beginning with an amazing cocktail hour on the veranda followed by a 5 course 5-star dinner to wow the end of the restaurant week's crowd. The screened half-moon veranda featured tasty bites of scallops, filet mignon with blue cheese, watermelon with feta skewers, and a smoked fish on toasted crackers. Delightful cocktails included an amazing Key Lime Pie Martini, a Peach and Bourbon on the rocks, and a special locally made Mocama brewed light ale. Once seated inside, the music of a lone acoustic guitarist filled the air and the notoriously well trained Ritz staff began to serve additional libations. The tables were beautifully appointed with plenty of space to get comfortable and spread out for our party of four. Name cards, and a menu preview greeted each diner. This was my first closing restaurant week here in Fern Beach and it was so much fun! From Mayport Shrimp, to a nod to Cajun tomato rice risotto with andouille sausage, followed by a crispy chicken and cornbread crumble over spicy Kimchi - the flavors were very bold. The entree course was a pan seared snapper over red pea puree with okra and succotash (never can figure out why chefs like succotash so much). I rarely indulge in dessert but when I do I want it to really wow me! This one didn't quite wow me but made me, once again, stretch my adventure in trying something new. The apricot citrus delight was a kind of mousse with an apricot cremieux inside on top of a chocolate torte (cookie) and a crispy pretty tuile garnish on top. It was surprisingly delicious despite being something I'd never otherwise think to order. All in all it was fantastic fun with friends, a celebration of creative dishes, flavors, spices, and adventure for the palate.

Excellent restaurant located at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Came here for lunch with a friend and we re both quite pleased with our food, the service and the ambiance of this place. The portions are good for the price. The restaurant is nicely decorated and they also have plenty of outdoor tables. Valet parking at the hotel.

1/27/24. Here for dinner with hubby, daughter and granddaughter on Restaurant Week. It is always a pleasure and treat to come here. The food was delicious, nice size portions with attentive service! Our butternut squash was one of the best I've ever had, the sheepshead fish was delicious and the pumpkin dessert complete with edible flowers...perfect! We then walked down to Salt Restaurant and now you've gone to another level of gourmet eating!

I was at the Ritz for a conference and stayed for an extra day of sun. I decided to stay on the property and had dinner at the bar at Coast. Rachel and Mike started me off with a tasty cocktail -- the blackberry mojito. The chalkboard behind the bar displays the featured craft cocktails. I ordered the calamari appetizer which was huge. Definitely enough for two people. For my main course, I had had the filet which was cooked perfectly to rare. For dessert I had the rhubarb cheesecake. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was delicious. Rachel added some extra truffles for maximum sweet tooth satisfaction! I definitely recommend Coast for dinner and they also serve brunch but I didn't get a chance to try it. There is both indoor and outdoor seating.

Menu looked good and at Ritz Carlton, but everything was mediocre. They couldn't make a cocktail for lack of brandy--didn't offer to go to their sister bar to get it....what happened to famous Ritz service? Food average in taste and presentation. Better off to go elsewhere.

Well below expectations. The ambiance is nice, although the seats are too low for the tables. Where do I start : for starters the seafood soup was horrible , extremely salty and watery . The " seafood tower" was simply a plate with seafood and not very generous portions for the price. The chicken was so dry it was barely edible and I would have sent it back but the waiter was no where to be seen after the meal was served. This was a huge disappointment from start to finish and we won't be back.

I've been eating and staying at RITZ hotels for a decade. First bad review ever. Made a reservation for dinner with family. Bread rolls were bought out were stale. When asked, waitress indicated the rolls had been overcooked earlier that day. Why no one mentioned that to us or why they were they served to anyone? They went and found a couple fresh ones from a different restaurant at the hotel. I ordered a Caesar salad and a main course fish dish. Waitresd served me the fish on top of the Caesar salad- apologized that she heard wrong. The swordfish was overcooked and dry. We got there at 5:45 PM with no one in restaurant and still took an hour to get food. No general manager in sight. Poor food. Poor service. Poor management.

Great hotel. More relaxed and family friendly than most Ritz Carlton hotels. Excellent for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Frequent seafood specials. I had are snapper sandwich for lunch that was particularly good. Beautiful seaside location with outdoor seating available.
