M Shack, Atlantic Beach, FL - December Blogging Challenge Day 1

The Medure family has opened another restaurant, this time in Atlantic Beach, FL.

Known for their other endeavors, Matthew's in San Marco, & Medure's in Ponte Vedra Beach, & Take Away Gourmet in San Marco, M Shack is a bit different. For one, I love both Matthews and Medure's...when someone else is picking up the tab (more so at Matthew's; Medure's has a terrific lounge menu).

At M Shack, the most expensive burger is $18, and served with foie gras. That's it.

I had a basic burger ($3.50) without cheese, fries and an glass of Cable Car Pinot Noir during my recent visit.

The wine list is fabulous (and affordable), there are several selections of draft beer, including Sweetwater 420 which is a local favorite.

The renovation of the space which previously housed The Bookmark (and you can read about my recent rant about a possible building height vote to get my $2 on this topic) is wonderful and light filled. There are 3 outside tables, and the configuration of the glass and open space makes it feel like you are sitting outside when you are in fact inside.

You can sit at the bar, which has about 10 seats, or at one of the tables. Order at the counter, grab your number, they bring it to you.

Enjoy!
