Sometimes it’s nice to shake up your normal dinner routine. Whether you’re celebrating something special, planning a date night, or simply looking for a reason to enjoy a nice evening out, Indigo in Fernandina Beach has created an experience that’s worth adding to your calendar.
For four nights only, Indigo is offering a five course prix fixe dinner for $75 per person, and the meal includes two glasses of wine. If you’ve been wanting to try Indigo for the first time, or you’ve been looking for an excuse to go back, this might be the perfect excuse to make a reservation.
Located inside the Amelia Island Williams House, Indigo has built a reputation for combining fresh ingredients, creative flavors, and an inviting atmosphere. While it certainly feels like the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, it’s also welcoming enough for anyone who simply enjoys a thoughtfully prepared meal. From anniversaries and birthdays to a spontaneous weeknight date, it’s one of those restaurants that makes dinner feel like an experience instead of just another meal.
If you’ve never tried a prix fixe menu before, don’t let the name intimidate you. A prix fixe dinner simply means the chef has created a set menu featuring several carefully selected courses designed to complement one another. Instead of deciding between dozens of menu items, you can simply relax and enjoy a meal that’s been thoughtfully planned from beginning to end. It’s also a fun way to try dishes you might not normally order.
The evening begins with your choice of two fresh salads. Guests can choose the Watermelon Arugula Salad with cucumber, onion, feta, pistachios, olive oil, and balsamic, or the Local Market Salad featuring local greens, country ham, tomatoes, carrots, fried field peas, and a creamy buttermilk dressing. Both are fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal.
The second course features Georges Bank sea scallops and lobster served over a bacon corn succotash, followed by a third course of miso marinated black cod with jasmine rice and bok choy. It’s a menu that balances fresh seafood with rich, comforting flavors without feeling overly heavy.
For the main course, guests will enjoy a perfectly prepared filet served with parmesan crusted roasted baby potatoes and sauce du Clermont. It’s the kind of entrée that easily becomes the highlight of the evening.
Of course, dessert is never an afterthought. You’ll have the choice between Banana Foster Butter Cake served with butter pecan ice cream or a rich Gateau au Chocolat with crème anglaise. Honestly, whichever one you choose is probably the right answer.
What makes this special stand out isn’t just the food. It’s the opportunity to slow down, enjoy each course, and spend a couple of hours with family, friends, or someone special. In a world where so many meals are rushed, it’s refreshing to have an evening built around simply enjoying good food and great company.
Since this special menu is only available for a limited time, reservations are recommended. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just looking for something different to do this week, Indigo’s prix fixe dinner is a great excuse to support one of Fernandina Beach’s favorite local restaurants.
If you end up going, we’d love to hear what you thought. Which course was your favorite? We’d especially love to know which dessert stole the show.
Don’t rush the evening. Grab a reservation around sunset, take a stroll through downtown Fernandina Beach before dinner, and enjoy one of the prettiest parts of our little island before sitting down for your meal.
