Tucked along the scenic Atlantic Beach strip, Beginnings isn't just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of food, literature, and the art of conversation. With a charming literary theme and an ever-changing seasonal menu, this standout venue offers a dining experience as thoughtful as it is flavorful.

From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance envelops you. Books line the walls, soft lighting sets a cozy tone, and the rustic-yet-modern decor makes it ideal for date nights, small gatherings, or a quiet dinner solo. The vibe feels intimate and cultured, yet completely unpretentious.

The menu at Beginnings is carefully curated and often refreshed, but some staples are too good to miss. Start with the Truffle Mac & Cheese Bites—crispy, creamy, and decadently satisfying. Seafood lovers should gravitate toward the Seared Scallops or the Grilled Branzino, both cooked to perfection with fresh herbs and citrus notes. For heartier appetites, the Short Rib Ravioli delivers melt-in-your-mouth richness with every bite.

Vegetarians aren’t left behind either. The Roasted Cauliflower Steak is a standout, accompanied by seasonal vegetables and a touch of tahini drizzle that brings everything together.

Craft cocktails are a highlight here—try the “Great Gatsby”, a bourbon-forward blend with a smoky finish, or the “Mockingbird Mule”, a zesty twist on a classic. The wine list is well-rounded, and dessert lovers should not skip the Warm Bread Pudding with bourbon caramel sauce.

Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the staff is happy to guide you through the menu or pair drinks with your meal. Whether you're a local or just beach-hopping for the weekend, Beginnings is a must-visit for those seeking quality food in an inviting, thought-provoking setting.
