Reviews for Pogo's Kitchen in Fernandina Beach, FL
Best food I?ve eaten in a while. We started with a Charcuterie board and complementary peanut hummus. Then I ordered Shrimp w/... grits and Mushroom Stroganoff. Topped our night off with a few Espresso martinis. They do not take walk-ins so you must make areservation. They called me a few hours ahead of time to make sure I was coming in my party size was the same. Read more
This restaurant is truly outstanding. Every aspect was a joy to experience. Their dishes are creative without being pretentious.... Everything we ate was delicious, beautiful and art on a plate. The chef here is at the top of his craft. The service was alsotop notch - team-oriented, helpful, and each person took time to check on me while waiting for my husband. One of the finestdining experiences of my life. Do not miss this one. Read more
We had wonderful service! Our waitress was so nice and gave suggestions about menu items. She answered all of our questions and... was friendly and polite. The night we were there, they served a boiled peanut hummus and naan taking the place of the moretraditional bread and butter. The hummus was delicious - I was to recreate it at home. The naan was burned pretty badly, but wedid get a new order when requested. Our appetizers and salads were good. We had the pickled shrimp, baby gem salad, and baconfarms green salad. Each were seasoned well and had good flavor. Our entrees were the more disappointing part of the meal. Two ofus ordered the Szechuan spiced duck (which we were told was a carry over from the last season menu because it was so good), thebolognese and the smoked ricotta raviolo. The duck came with 5 slices of duck, all of which had a big piece of fat that was notcrispy or rendered. It came on a crispy, fried scallion pancake (it was not described as fried). The bolognese was good, thoughslightly under seasoned. The smoked raviolo was one piece of ravioli that was not very large. In all, the portions were smalland not impressive. In the future, if I were to try again, I would sit at the bar and order apps only. Read more
This was our favorite meal on Amelia Island. Each dish was flavorful and the price point was fair. We were seated for our... reservation right away. Our waiter was FANTASTIC! He swooped in and filled our drinks without us even noticing. The environmentwas romantic and quiet. We even brought our kids and they enjoyed it as well! There wasn?t a crumb left on any plate! Kudos tothis lovely restaurant! Read more
This place is truly an epitome of a vegetable forward meal of its kind in a long radius of Florida. We truly were lucky to try a... meal at this establishment. And it truly was one of the best meals we have had at a place that was not a michelin threestarred restaurant. The chef has talent, for it's not easy to cook a vegetarian meal. It is truly worth the wait, the time, andeverything in between. I apologize that I took the photo after I ate it. Read more
We went with a large group. All of the drinks and appetizers were great! The cheese board had some very interesting cheeses. The... roasted cauliflower was so delicious. The smoked ravioli was good too. Read more
I went on Tuesday night because it's half price bottle of wine. I sat at the bar and it was a very slow night there. Less than... 10 in the restaurant and only three people at the bar including me. Cabernet Sauvignon called 75 I think was very good. Orderedthe burger. It came without the carmelized onions it was supposed to come with. They did bring it after I asked. The burger washand made and with good flavor. The sandwich itself was lackluster. The lettuce was folded in a square and placed on the bun. Notomato comes with it. The sauce was very good! They give you a complimentary grilled flatbread with homemade hummus. The hummuswas good but most of the flatbread was too burnt. I was having it with my glass of wine and it was not a good fit. The servicewas a 10 out of 10. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. No tv at the bar but the music was relaxing and it makes forgreat conversation. I will go back. Read more
We had a lovely 1st time experience at Pogo's Kitchen last evening. The 3 of us were welcomed warmly at the front door. For... apps, we had the Bread Board and Tuna Poke....both fabulous. For dinner, we had the shrimp dish, the ravioli and the chickenlasagna. Each dish was very flavorful and unique. We could sense the fresh ingredients in each dish. We will definitely begoing back and taking more friends with us. Read more
