Service was great. Lovely wine list. The apps were my absolute favor. Most got the special halibut which was a hit. We had one issue where someone with us ordered a filet medium and it was so overcooked it was reprehensible. They brought a new one and took it off the bill which is excellent service.

I had the pleasure of visiting AB Kitchen in Atlantic Beach for the first time, and it's one of the better restaurants I've been to in the area. Located right on Atlantic Boulevard--where there's no shortage of great dining options--this spot stands out with its inviting atmosphere, creative menu, and excellent service. I ordered the crab fried rice, which was thoughtfully and creatively prepared. Every bite was packed with flavor. Pricing was reasonable, averaging about $30 per person all-in (including drinks, tax, and tip), making it a great value for the quality of food and experience. We were seated by the window, which was perfect for people-watching, adding to the relaxed and enjoyable vibe. The restaurant itself has an open, airy feel with attractive artwork decorating the space. Seating options vary--the booths are cushioned and comfortable, while the wooden chairs are, well, wooden and flat, so keep that in mind when choosing your seat. Our server, Ty, was friendly, casual, and efficient, striking the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. I was a little surprised that the place wasn't busier for a Saturday lunch, but we did arrive on the earlier side. It's definitely a great spot for a weekend brunch or lunch, and I can see it becoming a favorite for locals and visitors alike. I'm already looking forward to coming back for dinner soon. If you're in the Atlantic Beach area and looking for a great meal in a relaxed, stylish setting, AB Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit!

My husband was nice enough to make a reservation at this restaurant for lunch today. It was a great experience. It's located amongst several other restauarants along Atlantic Boulevard. It has a nice casual beach theme with plenty of pictures and theming. We were lucky enough to get a great table in front along the big windows. The menu has several appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. I went with the South West Steak Wrap. It had steak, black beans, rice, roasted corn, peppers, Pico de Gallo, greens, cilantro vinaigrette, and cotija cheese. It also came with fries, which were great. My husband had the crab fried rice. It had snow crab, shitake mushrooms, scallions, Jasmine rice, ponzu soy sauce, shrimp sauce, cilantro and lime. It tasted and looked great. Service was friendly and pretty quick.

Super friendly service, very welcoming and engaging staff! Quality, tasty, healthy options for omnivores, veggies, and vegans. Good location for walking around to a few stores and bars in that area.

Great little spot at the beach! Cozy inside, but very nice with great menu selections. The food is prepared with a lot of care and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

I don't know why we've never eaten here. What a mistake! We popped in for salads to go and got the spinach salad and the carrot salad. Both excellent. The carrot salad was explained to us as not traditional "salad" which was on point. However they didn't explain how awesome the yogurt sauce and seasoning for the carrots was for a great side/salad. We'll be back

The food was delicious. The menu features a great balance of surf, turf and veg - it's hard to choose. The service was great! Our waiter Jonathan was very helpful and courteous. The dining area was a vibe! It's very calm and quiet mixed with some action from being able to see into the kitchen. Perfect for a date night, girls night out, or a treat-yourself moment.

A great addition to Jax beach area. We wanted to try a new place at the beaches and this was an excellent choices. Service was great and we got our food fairly quick. We started with calamari and Brussel sprouts. Both were very tasty and although it was fried, both dishes were not greasy at all. For main dishes, we had ravioli that had artichokes and tomatoes which tasted really fresh and light. We also ordered crab fried rice which can was delicious and has big clumps of crab meat. The halibut special and chimichurri steak were delightful. The only thing we didn't like was parking, they were doing a construction on the dedicated parking space for this restaurant so we had to go around several times to find a spot.

I was visiting the area and stopped here for a lovely dinner. It's not far from the beach and in a very lively area, we were out on a Saturday night and the place was packed. We started with oysters and I definitely appreciated how fresh they were. I got a seafood combo plate with shrimp and scallops and it was so good! Ample portions and good seasoning. My friend and I had just left a party so we were dressed rather nicely and still fit right in. Our server was also really helpful in helping us pick out dishes.

Nice little restaurant on Atlantic in the main Neptune AB commerce area. Hubby and I shared the salmon dinner and shared the crab fried rice. There's a $5 split charge when the kitchen does the plating for you which was ok- they say you get a little more sides that way. The dish was perfect. The crab fried rice I wasn't a fan of. I think the rice was a little too wet and mushy. Our group shared the beet and burrata app and the deviled egg app. Also for dessert we all shared the fruit crisp something g else- the fruit crisp was the winner ;) Would I go back sure. The decor is nice as was the wait staff. Missing was some good bread and butter pre-meal.
