"Overall, it was good. It is Indian food afterall. That said, it wasn 't our favorite. We always have a hard time deciding what to order so we love sampler platters but they don 't have one. The server didn 't seem to knowledgeable about the menu and wasn 't too keen on asking the cooks details we needed to know. We were there for nearly two hours and most of it was spent waiting for our server to come to our table. At first we thought it was because they were busy but about an hour into our visit it died down considerably and we still never saw our server. We had to find extra silverware on our own and eventually had to flag down a host or busboy (not sure) to advise that our daughter 's meal, which was supposed to be mild, was in fact spicy and she couldn 't eat it. He eventually got our server but rather than explain, he just told her we had a problem with our food. When we did explain, she said looked at the order on her device and confirmed it said mild. We were not doubting that she entered the ordered correctly, we 're doubting that it was prepared correctly. Big difference. Next time I think we 'll just drive out to Baymeadows instead and go to Maa Kitchen."

"From the moment you walk in this place has the feel of something special. You can tell this place is a team all working hard to provide you with the best possible meal. We got lucky and had two seats at the kitchen bar so you can really enjoy all the action from the open view. The food is remarkably beautiful and carefully crafted. Everything was fresh and timed perfectly. We really enjoyed the wine list opting for whites rather then red wine we normally have because it really paired well with our choices. We did not go wrong! And amid a busy Saturday night dinner chef even took the time to greet us and ask how our meal was so far. Highly recommend"

"We’ve been coming to Neptune Beach, FL for our vacation, 2x a year for 7 years, in part because of the wonderful food at North Beach Fish Camp. HOWEVER, our experience this time was not at all what we’ve experienced in the past. All our food was just okay. In fact, most of it was overcooked. We even speculated that the mussels had been reheated from the day before. The clams and fries were so over fried, they were hard and leathery. The vegetables were very mushy from over cooking. We know they’ve had a new manager for about a year and since he arrived things have not been as good overall. Some of the wait staff that have been there for years are now also gone. Not sure if that’s any indication of where the trouble lies. They definitely have a problem in the kitchen they need to fix and fast! I hate to say that after our long history with this restaurant we would consider not returning. We will give it one more try again in the fall. If it fails again, we will be looking for a new vacation location and feel sad that something so good has ended."

"Our dining experience at Dwight's Bistro, owned and curated by the talented Dwight and managed by Kevin, was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. From the moment we stepped into the cozy and inviting ambiance, we knew we were in for an extraordinary treat. As the evening unfolded, it became apparent that the culinary wonders prepared by the chef and the impeccable service from our server, Gary, would make this a dining experience we'd never forget. We started our gastronomic journey with the exquisite crab cakes. These delectable morsels were a harmonious blend of succulent crab meat and delicate spices, expertly seared to perfection. Each bite was a revelation of flavors, setting the stage for the delightful culinary symphony that awaited us. The scallops that followed were a true testament to the chef's mastery. Cooked to a succulent golden brown, they melted in our mouths, leaving us enchanted by their natural sweetness. Paired with perfectly complementing accompaniments, this dish was an extraordinary celebration of fresh seafood. Next on our adventure were the hand-made ravioli, and they were nothing short of culinary perfection. Each ravioli pocket was generously filled with a luscious blend of ingredients that tantalized our taste buds with every bite. The chef's exquisite sauce elevated the dish to new heights of indulgence, making it a standout dish of the evening. The tuna, a delightful surprise on our culinary journey, was a true revelation of the kitchen's versatility. Cooked to absolute perfection and seasoned with finesse, the tuna showcased the chef's ability to handle a diverse range of flavors with equal expertise. The handmade pasta fettuccine Alfredo with filet and mushroom was an experience to cherish. The pasta was flawlessly cooked, and the Alfredo sauce was a divine amalgamation of creaminess and savory goodness. The addition of tender filet and earthy mushrooms elevated the classic dish to a whole new level of culinary excellence. For dessert, we savored the apple crisp, and it was the perfect conclusion to an exceptional meal. The crisp crumble topping, paired with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples, was a symphony of sweet and tangy notes that left us with smiles of contentment. Throughout the evening, the warm hospitality from Dwight and Kevin Delude made us feel like treasured guests in their bistro. Their genuine passion for food and dedication to delivering an outstanding dining experience were evident in every aspect of our visit. Gary, our server, was the true star of the evening.

In conclusion, Dwight's Bistro is a culinary gem that should be on the top of every food lover's list.

"I love fresh grilled fish! I love variety and experiencing different and new-to-me flavors and combinations. Two Dudes Seafood has been on my radar for several months. I visit this plaza at least twice a month for the 15 Minutes of Fame Jam Session at Fly's Tie Irish Pub with Shaun Taunton and Shane Platten. But that's usually late in the evening and the beginning of my work week. On this particular day I was bound for Syd and Linda's Seafood. But as you may recall I tend to hit up places on the days they're closed. Luckily I was not out of options. I rolled in around 4:30 for a late lunch after some racquetball. Chelsea and another young lady greeted me right away. The dining area has around six tables and maybe as many bar seats so communication to your server is easy. I like this setup, my dining room is similar. Fresh Catch and specials are colorfully chalked on a board and there is a hand held menu. I love a good crab cake but decided instead on the Crab Mango Quesadilla. It uses lump crab and was really tasty. I was expecting a larger cut but these were smaller slider sized wedges as if they used street taco sized shells. Of course my entrée had to be indulgent so I chose the Pick 3 Hugangus with two sides. My fish selections were Blackened Mahi and Flounder and Grilled Grouper. Sides were sautéed vegetables and Mango Wasabi Slaw. I also purchased an extra side of Hush Puppies. Everything was cooked perfectly. Each filet was firm yet flakey and not fishy at all. The vegetables were also very good and not overdone at all which is tricky when cooking squash and zucchini. The Mango Wasabi Slaw was a huge hit. Each bite was tangy and delightful and really entertained my tastebuds. Chelsea brought me a special Atlantic Beach Aioli to dip my Puppies in. It was a great sauce and I really enjoyed it. I'm a pretty easy diner to serve. I enjoy being served but don't like to make a servers job difficult. Another guest came in shortly after me and this dude was a widget salesman if ever there was. Kind of a know-it-all pompous consumer that isn't a real **** but sure takes the long way around for ordering. Chelsea did a superb job absorbing every question he had and even gave him a quick geography lesson on where else to eat in the area. Kudos to her for giving great service to both of us. I was happy I came. I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. I would liked to have had bigger portions for the price, or just a lower price. The Hugangus is $38. That's $10 per filet and $8 for slaw and veggies. $62 for the whole meal and for the first time in a long time I was rethinking my frugality. But it's the beach. The fish was fresh. And it didn't smell like a fish market. If you'd like good seafood and good service this is a good choice. There is another Two Dudes in Ponte Vedra but Chelsea explained it's connected to Red's Steakhouse and has a different owner."
