The food is very good. It is a few blocks out of town, so not quite as touristy. Te ambiance leaves a bit to be desired. However, the food is well prepared and makes the trip worthwhile.

Merge was practically empty on the Saturday night we went. Didn't have our first two choices of wines and the place was very friendly but had an amateur feel about it.......however the food made up for any shortcomings. The filet was especially incredible.

My wife and I had a terrific dinner. The food was truly amazing. Great seafood and an otherwise great menu with a broad selection. My wife stated it was the best she had had in a very long time. Going back tonight again. Fine something really good, stick with it.

We called "day of" and received a reservation. The restaurant is located close to downtown and was each to find, less than 15 minutes from our Lodge. Service was attentive and prompt. We shared an appetizer of fried green tomatoes and local steamed shrimp with a spicy sauce, delicious! I chose scallops with broccoli rabe, gnocchi, and mushrooms. It was... More

We had a fantastic dinner with friends at Merge. The meal blew away anything we had in Amelia, including anything we had at the Ritz, where we stayed for 5 days. My steak was delis, and the lamb shank, which a friend had, looked like Barney Rubble should have been eating it. It was MASSIVE and fell off the bone... More

I know why Merge is one of the top-rated restaurants in Fernandina Beach! The chef is bursting with creativity and so friendly, making you feel right at home. My son had grouper, I had a veal loin, and my husband had salmon. All were cooked perfectly with beautiful sauces and sides. This chef could make it in Chicago or another... More
