Fern

This place is amazing!! Truly a hidden gem 💎
I was visiting Florida for a week & I’m SO glad I found this spot. As a foodie & someone who’s been in the restaurant industry for 15 years, I’m a big fan of the farm-to-table concept— & that, along with their unique, well-curated menu, is what drew me in.

I tried the Pink Moon & Rip Tide oysters—both were incredible. The sauces served alongside each one were thoughtfully paired & really complemented the different flavor profiles perfectly.

My absolute favorite though was the red snapper ceviche. OMG… I’ve been thinking about it ever since lol. The fish tasted insanely fresh & everything about the dish was just so well balanced. The coconut milk was such a unique touch—I loved it. It had sweet pickled pepper, jalapeño, orange, shaved onion & celery, pistachio, red radish, micro cilantro & green oil… just a full-on flavor bomb. Fresh, sweet, salty, savory, acidic— & I really appreciated all the different textures throughout.

For dessert, I had the fried banana—soooo good. Honestly, I wish I had more room because I easily could’ve ordered half the menu. Everything sounded amazing.

What really made the experience though, on top of the food, was the hospitality. Manager Cody, Chef Eddy (Ed)? & my server Brandon were all incredible—so friendly, down to earth, & made me feel right at home, like a regular even though it was my first time. I sat alone at the bar with a perfect view of the open kitchen, which was so cool to watch everything come together. The outdoor seating area is super cute too.

I cannot wait to come back next time I’m in Florida—I’ll definitely be ordering more. Thanks Cody & Eddy!!

Sat at the bar with front view of the kitchen staff hard at work. The chef was so crazy impressive and did not let anything leave that kitchen without perfection. Best seat in the house as far as I was concerned. Great meal, great staff and overall atmosphere was just wonderful. Will definitely come back to this place if we make it back this way again. Farm to table. Yum yum!!

This what’s our first time going to Fern. What a wonderful experience. My daughter-in-law and I started at the bar while we waited for my son and husband to park the car. On a sidenote, we didn’t realize the valet down the road was also for Fern, that would’ve been helpful to know as they had to park sort of far away. The bar is actually seating for dinner, but we were able to order a drink. They have a good selection of specialty cocktails, I tried the good the bad and the bubbly it was very refreshing. We were then shown to our table which was outside as we requested. It’s a very cool outside atmosphere. Our server, Isabella came right to our table. She was very attentive and super knowledgeable. She started by asking if this was our first time at the restaurant and we told her it was. She then explained the farm to table experience that Fern provides. I asked her about a menu item and she explained it in perfect detail enough so that that’s what I chose to get. The pacing of the meal was also very good. Food was brought out by another weight staff, Edwin, who knew exactly where each dish went and told us what he was serving us. He was so pleasant and seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Each course was delicious. I started with the Key West shrimp, which was very unique and tasted outstanding. My husband got the Burrata and my kids split the steak tartare. I only got a picture of my appetizer as I didn’t know how much we were going to love the food and should’ve taken more! For dinner my daughter-in-law and I got the linguine which was the dish I asked her to describe. It was her favorite dish, which also led us to want to get it. My husband got the duck and my son got the swordfish. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and will definitely be back.

Chef Eddie is a great chef and his personality is in the food. Everything is fresh and clean. Best tiramisu in WPB. Manager is kind and welcoming. They care about their customers and their experience.

The food and meat here is marvelous. We ate four different dishes between the appetizers and main course and I seriously can’t choose a favorite. They were all incredibly fresh tasting. Our waiter was extremely helpful when it came to gluten free, and even knew about cross contamination. We sat outside and the ambiance could not have been sweeter. I’m definitely returning here!
