Going to Utah - need help!
We are headed to St. George, Springdale, Brice and Moab for 2 weeks. Any recommendation for good food of any kind would be appreciated. Especially interested in barbecue, Mexican, southwestern and coffee.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach
For casual you can't beat Arte Pizza on N. 3rd. Excellent pizza and pasta. Espana is very good for Spanish/Portuguese fish dishes. Merge is outstanding. They have a seasonal menu and a great wine list.

Is there anything decent in Amelia Island??
Best restaurant on the island right now is still Lulu's on S. 7th. Nice but not fancy interior, if that is important to you. The daily specials are very, very good. Excellent local fish. Arte has excellent Neopolitan style pizza in a casual family setting on N. 3rd. Tasty's is a nice new addition for casual hamburgers.
St. Augustine FL faves?
My general experience in NE FLA is that if you can see the water then the food will be mediocre.
Tell me abut Lulu's....lunch or dinner?
Lulu's has indoor and outdoor seating. Heaters are available for the exterior. A little more about the food: Lunch usually follows the online menu with excellent sandwiches and creative salads. The Po'boys are very well liked. Dinner continues the lunch menu and adds daily specials based on what Chef Brian can get locally. The seafood is especially good. Brian is very flexible and willing to help you get what you want (within reason of course.) Enjoy your visit!
Tell me abut Lulu's....lunch or dinner?
LuLu's may be the best restaurant on the island. I would recommend a lunch and a dinner. You can certainly get TRay's to go but no beer. There is a new burger place at Centre and 8th called Tasty's Burgers and Fries which is pretty, well tasty. They have craft beers and interesting fries to go with excellent burgers. I agree with you about Salt. Le Clos, Espana and Merge are very, very good. 29 South has been getting mixed reviews. As you know Arte and Moon River are two different things. Tonino at Arte has been offering some interesting specials. Bon Apetit!
Southwest Road Trip - Off-the-beaten-path Chow Suggestions?
In Taos you should go to Orlandos and sit outside. They have some of the best food in the southwest.

Amelia Island
Espana is still solid. Best restaurant on the island is LuLu's at the Thompson House. Merge is very good as well and you can't beat Cafe Karibo for a nice lunch. Some folks like Kelly's on 3rd St. Arte Pizza, also on 3rd, has some of the best pizza outside of Italy. Generally speaking, if you can see the water from the restaurant you will be disappointed in the food (with the exception of the Ritz .)
Floridian - St. Augustine
Were you there for lunch or dinner? So glad to hear good things about this place. We have struggled to eat well in St. Aug.

This kind of post drives me crazy. The poster assumes that we all live in their little world. This is a Florida board. That's a mighty big area.

Some have reported exceptional seafood at the Verandah. Those of us living downtown prefer Lulu's, Le Clos and Arte to anything on the south end.
Recommendation for Romantic Restaurant in Jacksonville, FL
Its a 45 minute drive from downtown to the beach so you have to thoughtful about where you are going. Having said that there are some solid recommendations that are always good: San Marco - Bistro Aix; Avondale/Riverside - Orsay; Le Clos - Fernandina; What part of town are you staying in?
Finally, great coffee in Jacksonville!
Excellent single origin espresso @ Bold Bean Coffee Roasters this afternoon. As good as any I have had anywhere. Small selection of perfectly roasted coffees. Available as espresso, pour over or syphon. Nice, light filled comfortable space. Staff is friendly, skilled and knowledgeable.
Best BBQ in Jacksonville???`
Island BBQ is on winter hiatus. Check back in the spring.
Southside Jacksonville / Baymeadows
I have heard really good things about this Indian resto on Baymeadows. Maybe the best Indian in Jax: http://indiajax.com/default.aspx

Anyone been to Raymond's in St. John's? Menu looks very good and very pricey.

Thanksgiving dinner/ takeout Amelia island or Fernindina
We had dinner at Merge on Friday. Here's their phone #: (904) 277-8797. 29South remains very busy. Here's the link: http://www.29southrestaurant.com I would be surprised if either was open for Thanksgiving.
I think Beech Street has Tday dinner buffet. I think its $45 plus tip tax.
I recommend you call Brian & Melanie at Lulu's. Their food is the best on the island and they may be doing Tday for a limited number. (904) 432-8394 http://www.lulusamelia.com/
Publix does a pretty nice job for a very reasonable price. And of course there is always the Ritz.
