What’s more romantic than a vintage gas station? Maybe nothing if you’re headed to Dolphin Depot. What was once merely a fill ’em up stop has become a place to linger over antiques and tasty low country cuisine. House-baked bread sets the stage for the meal to come. The menu changes daily, with plenty of blackboard specials, and seafood options run the gamut but the salty-sweet she-crab soup is...
When it comes to ambience and food, this place is off the charts. Housed in a former gas station, the very rustic, antique-filled Dolphin Depot provides a Low Country high with such dishes as shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, blackened scallops, and five fresh fish choices daily. Only adding to the restaurant's allure, the staff is Southern-style friendly, and the setting resplendent.

Yup, I gave it an outstanding and I don't even care for fish that much. That's how good it is. Have gone there twice, had to go the second time to prove the first wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. Great food and service. A place to impress others. I don't go out to eat much, but if I do, this would be the place! You've got to try it!

My wife and I have been to the Dolphin Depot twice now. It is one of our favorites in JAX.
If you cannot find a dish that suites your taste, then you cannot be satisfied! The food is out of this world.
Cozy Setting for a date or small group dinner. Not a really a place to take the kids. Quite, peaceful environment.
Very friendly & attentive staff. You'll go back again!

We ended up here on a Friday night around 8PM. I was surprised to see the place mostly empty. There are no menus but chalkboards with no prices. The waiter briefly went over the boards. He was rather impatient and uninformative.
I went with the trout with the Inidan River style, which is a citrus sauce. My girlfriend had a quail and lobster. We started with a blackened scallop starter.
The scallops were good. Soft buttery and not overly spiced. I did not really consider them ""blackened"" as typically blackened scallops have crust. These just had blackening spice. Based on my...

There are a handful of spots in the front of the restaurant, but chances are you'll have to park in one of the public lots, so keep an eye out.
