Kitchen 251 spent years at the Amelia Island Marina before moving into 801 Beech Street — the building locals still call the old Beech Street Grill. If you have an out-of-date guide or an old bookmark, that move is the thing to know: the marina address is no longer where it is.
The cooking is American comfort food, and the new building gives it a proper restaurant room in the middle of town rather than a marina outbuilding.
What to expect
A mid-range American menu and table service in a house-scale restaurant building. The Beech Street address is a few blocks south of the Centre Street grid, on a quiet residential street.
Because the move is recent, confirm hours directly with the restaurant rather than trusting an aggregator — third-party listings for this one are still catching up.
Where it sits, and where to park
801 Beech Street sits between downtown and the 8th Street corridor — a five-minute drive or a fifteen-minute walk from Centre Street, with on-street parking that is far easier than the historic district's.
It is close to David's on Ash and the rest of the downtown dinner rooms.
Quick tips
- New address since 2026 — it is no longer at the marina.
- Confirm hours directly; third-party listings are still catching up.
- Easier parking than anywhere on Centre Street.
