Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Jekyll Island

Our 1st time here! We had such a great experience. Our server Mackenzie was very friendly & made great suggestions for every course. We started with a Holiday Sangria & calamari—-the calamari was delicious & great sauce. Our main entrees included redfish, flounder & seared scallops. You can chose how your want your fish prepared from 3 different selections. The scallops were huge & came with collards & whir rice peas…the sauce was delicious! Their dessert list is long. We opted for pecan & their special satsuma cheesecake—it definitely felt holiday with a ginger/orange flavor. Enjoy your dinner as all the servers have a great attitude. It’s elevated food in an open & warm environment! I would definitely go back for their small plates of oysters or mussels!

One of the best in JAX area. Always a treat! The chefs are very creative. The Duck Confit with bread pudding was awesome.

Best gumbo we have ever had and my wife is from New Orleans. Our whole meal was excellent.

My husband & I love sitting at the bar at Halyard’s for a martini and a good meal. Last night I ordered the chopped wedge salad and a bowl of the crab soup, which is hard to get and is always delicious here. Classic low-country “she-crab” soup. Adding sherry as the menu provides, is a must.

I wanted to love this restaurant, but they had a limited selection of menu choices and I am not sure salmon is local to the area, but they had it. It was very good, the staff was very nice, the prices in some cases were very high, one of the items I wanted... unfortunately, not much options for someone who is gluten free. I knew that going in. I gave it five stars in spite of the limitations. It's very nice for a person with no diet restrictions.
