Restaurant Week on Amelia Island

by

We recently received this great tip from Amelia Island. If you’ve been thinking about taking out the family or friends for a nice dinner after the holidays, Restaurant Week in Amelia is going to be a great time to try out some new places on the island. And Amelia Island has an excellent selection of good restaurants. During the week, a select number of places offer a special three course meal at a fixed price. Prices range from $19 – $29, which sounds like a good deal for a complete three course meal.

Call ahead to the restaurant to find out more details about the menu and the price.

The list of restaurants is located in the press release below:
