Best American Restaurants in Neptune Beach

This was our first time at The Refinery. When we arrived the valet attendant opened the door to the restaurant. Nice touch #1. We checked in and proceeded to the second floor where the fine dining room is located. It was much quieter than downstairs where the pub is located and live music was playing. You could barely hear the music from downstairs. The upstairs had nice softer music playing. Although it was dark outside, we sat facing the ocean. Nice touch 2. We viewed the menu and ordered cocktails, salads, two fish entrees, bread, and a side of crispy Brussels Sprouts. The only negative is they charge extra for bread. Our cocktails were very good, as well as the Caesar and House Salad with the Pumpkin Vinaigrette. For entrees we ordered the Salmon, and the Triple Tail which was the special of the evening. The Salmon was a large piece or protein with string beans and other grains. The Triple Tail was on the small side with a puree and string beans. The Brussels Sprouts were also a hit. Nice touch #3. The only feedback is on charging for bread and the portion size of the Triple Tail. In addition, it was our anniversary, I added it to the OT reservation notes, but no one acknowledged our special day. We will definitely return again, and will also try their Sunday Brunch.

If I could give 6 stars I would! Absolutely the best dining experience I have had in years, and it was lunch service on Christmas Eve. Jeff, our server, was outstanding. It’s rare, in fine dining these days, to fine an establishment that cares both from a culinary and service perspective. Jeff and the 11 South staff knocked it out of the park. We will be back and thanks to 11 South as you truly are a dining gem.

This is a gem; we had Christmas eve lunch on the open-air roof deck. The food was fresh and excellently prepared, ser vice was perfect and the price was reasonable. We will be returning when we are in this area.

From start to finish, everything about the High Tea was lovely! They even graciously accommodated a vegetarian! Everything was delicious, the service was 5-star. We’ll be back again.

Long time customer, love these sisters & staff, it's still my favorite go to Irish pub at the beach. Food is authentic, on point and consistent. The Reuben is my fav, my husband prefers the corned beef and cabbage meal, the Reuben is made with their corned beef which is why it's my favorite. The Guinness is always poured correctly & tastes amazing every time. Always end with the bread pudding, you won't regret it!
