Wife and I stopped in to. 401 West restaurant for dinner on our way beck home from JAX airport. Reading on line we learned this restaurant features local fare in its culinary and beer offerings. The entrance is upstairs and the outside deck seating overlooking the river was very nice. The service was a bit stretched, however the food was very good. The warm fish dip and bread appetizer was superb as were the flounder with corn salsa over grits, and the 401 burger. The place was surprisingly empty for a Friday night and we left not knowing what the marketing theme of the restaurant was as it felt a bit eclectic. The decor, music, craft beer, menu, prices, ambiance didn't seem to to be in sync however with that said, my wife and I agreed to return because the food was outstanding.
Love coming here! Ate on the deck as the bugs weren't too bad and they had the fans on. One of these times I'll select something other than the onion soup and shrimp and grits!! The view is incredible and if clear night you will experience gorgeous sunsets over the marsh. Shannon was attentive but not overly so and very friendly.
I had the opportunity to dine at 401 West in St. Marys, GA TWICE last weekend on the Georgia coast. Recommend by a local innkeeper a year or so ago (I visit St. Marys/Cumberland Island 2x/year), I finally was able to fit it into my plans. It goes without saying that their location is off the charts! Marsh grasses, a cool breeze, and the salty sea air combine to enhance your dining experience. So let's talk about the SUNSETS! You just cannot stop taking photos (see mine!). The first night I enjoyed my meal with yummy bread and seafood pasta. Oh, to start, I also had a roasted beet, goat cheese, spiced pecans and arugula salad ($10) which was really good. I shared the bread basket ($4) with my friend, which included creamy butter and what I think was some kind of peach chutney. They make their own pasta, which is a plus. It was an ample portion for me. Fettucini noodles with a light parmesan cream sauce over scallops and shrimp ($27). Delish! I returned two nights later with a larger group. My starter this time was the onion soup ($8) which was very good (in all honesty, it could have been a bit hotter but I like my soup steaming! It did not stop me from scraping the bottom of the bowl, though!). And yes, I did a repeat of the seafood pasta which tasted even better than two nights prior. Our server, Stevie, did a great job handling a hungry gaggle of gal-pals who arrived ravenous right off the Cumberland Island ferry, complete with some high-maintenance demands! (Tip your servers well...the past 2 years have been tough for the industry!) Both times, we sat on the covered deck overlooking the marsh and St. Marys River. It was delightful both times and I will definitely return next time I'm in town. There is also an inside bar and dining room which looked lovely, and had beautiful artwork on the walls. Ladies' room was clean. Restaurant is very walkable from the center of St. Marys waterfront. All in all, it was a wonderful customer experience! I highly recommend it.
Great atmosphere and service. Food was delicious and fresh. Only complaint was ceaser dressing was kind of tasteless but I like strong dressing so that's just my preference. Seafood past was some of the best I have had so far.
Just hand one of the best dinners I have had out in a while! We started with a pork plate which was delectable and I also ordered onion soup. 401 West has some of the best onion soup I have ever had and it's one of my favorites so I try to order it as much as I can. For our entrees I ordered the Hanger steak which was so tender and very well prepared with no fat. Michael had the jalapeno cheddar risotto, Gordon Ramsey would have approved ????
Then for dessert we had the chocolate strawberry bombe which had just the right amount of sweetness. We will be going back for sure.
Great views with delicious southern cuisine. Fun place to bring the family with yard games if you have to wait, but worth the wait. Great cocktails to also to be social. Add to you list when in the area, we plan to go back on our next visit down to St Mary.
The staff was friendly and the food (shrimp & grits / seafood pasta) was delicious. We ate our meal on the outside patio and the scenery was beautiful. I would definitely recommend.
Great view/ location, Food was great, the rooftop was our favorite. Love that y’all serve the local brackish beer (one of our favorites)! Only downfall was food took an hour even for the appetizer and they don’t take reservations so there is a long wait. We found ourselves ready to go after waiting so long for each thing. Hoping it improves!
