Down Under Restaurant

A quiet late February Tuesday we dined on blackened scallops with coleslaw and the catch of the day, Corvina, with grits. First taste of Corvina and it was delicious. Merri was our server with great suggestions. The 6 Scallops were excellent. I bit tricky to find this out of the way place with plenty of parking. Lots of outdoor as well as indoor seating. It’s a big restaurant.

As always, food and service was excellent, even while busy a bit busy. Of all the places I have tried on Amelia Island, the Downunder has the best burger. The fish & chips (with the Blue Chips) is always great also. Since moving away from the area I only now get to eat here once or twice a year and I find it as good every time like they have never missed a beat. This place is truly an asset to the area.

I wish I would’ve taken more photos. We did the crab dip and it was 100/100 stars! Also our service was absolutely exceptional! Cole Mann kept the drinks and food coming. We were so grateful to have someone so full of life and eager to tell us different facts about the menu and seafood local sourcing. He talked us into the seared tuna and oysters along with our seafood platter and the salmon! So great!!! Delicious food—I tell people how they can point at anything with their eyes closed and order something phenomenal. I always suggest friends try whatever the special is! In my several experiences over the years—this place is the best around!

This was Christmas Eve and they were closing early so were a bit short handed. We still got good service. Ordered a bottle of Franciscan and each got Fish n Chips. The wine was cold and in an insulated bottle. The fish was crisp and hot, and the server was helpful and nice. We sat out on the deck and really enjoyed the beautiful day!

First time here. Waitress was super sweet and very attentive. Staff were all friendly as well. I ordered the Grilled shrimp tacos and they did not disappoint. I also ordered a side of hush puppies. There were four total. Three were perfectly cooked sadly the forth was very much over cooked and not edible. The atmosphere was adequate. Not too noisy. Had good conversations with friends and it was easy to hear one another. I will go back as I'd like to try another dish. Or give it an 8 out of 10.
