Voted one of the “Top 20 Restaurants in Florida,” Wicked Bao covers all the bases. Amazing Asian-fusion cuisine (the baos are fabulous!), great prices, original cocktails, historic setting. Sit indoors or outside. Charming spot- and if you’re lucky, you meet the owner, Natalie!

The Beech Street Grill (BSG) offers a unique menu featuring upscale southern cuisine with eclectic flares. Like its dynamic neighborhood, Beech Street Grill changes with the seasons. Using fresh ingredients that reflect the abundance from local farms, fields and waterways, the culinary team blends classic and innovative approaches for an unforgettable experience. The menu is accompanied by a tightly curated wine and cocktail list. We believe that good food and great people make a fantastic meal.
BSG is housed within The William Bell House, sometimes referred to as the “The Grande Dame of Beech Street”. It was built by Captain William Bell in 1889 as a wedding gift for his bride. William and his identical twin brother, James, were both successful river pilots who moved to Fernandina after the Civil War. The brothers both invested heavily in real estate, constructing several notable homes on the island.
