Ponte Vedra Beach

Seahorse Grille earns its Wine Spectator Award of Excellence with a well-stocked, professionally managed list that plays to its coastal crowd without embarrassing itself on price or quality. If you want adventure, look elsewhere — if you want a reliably good bottle next to great seafood on the Florida coast, this delivers.

Nineteen is the rare resort restaurant that actually gives a damn about wine — three sommeliers, 350-plus bottles, and a list that holds up against proper urban wine programs. The markups are resort-level steep, but the pedigree and execution earn that premium.
