    I was in a short meeting in the Bank of America building and afterwards used Yelp to find a breakfast place. Akels was inside and although it didn't have a great rating I looked inside and at the menu. The place was very clean and organized. They seemed to be doing a brisk business so I decided to give it a try. As I was looking at the menu the cook behind the window asked me what I was interested in. I asked him for a recommendation and he said that even though omelets are not on the menu, he cooks a good one. He was right. It was delicious. I sat and ate at a corner table looking at the Laura st and forysth st intersection A fantastic view of the downtown life. Definitely recommend this place.

    1st visit!!! at this location!!! 8/22/16

    It's been a minute since I've visited this chain (other location by Everbank Bldg not true to their word!) & decided to check this location out... their sandwich (tuna on rye) was on point & their Ceasar salad was filling. Service was quick & friendly without a lot of fuss & mix/up! The presentation was pleasing to the eye which is carried over the taste which is the most important to me. MUST TRY if you're downtown!!! . 5 (3.5 of 5) certainly will return to this location. 9/28/16

    I am traveling and decided to try the less rowed YMCA at Bank of America building. I decide to stop by this deli because of the ease of use while in the area. The chicken salad I purchased was great. It hit the spot.

    Such a graceful and comfortable place. There has 2 outdoor garden. One is front of gate, another…read moreone is side of gate. I sat side one. It is small, and feeling secret. I ordered on pad ( in restaurant they has a pad, u can order), less than 10min I've got all food. Matcha tea, special season, and a cup of soup. Amount is more than Le petit paris at San Jose one. And has more menu choices than that store.

    Le Petit Paris is a great spot for pastries, bread, and drinks with this location in Southside…read more Came here for a brunch with some coworkers and we sat outside. You have to order inside and then head to a table with your number and the servers will bring it to you. With a party of 5, our food came out in good time and we got an array of items-- from a breakfast croissant sandwich to little pastries, everything was wonderful. Most of us ended up trying their seasonal matcha drink which was a linzer matcha that came with black cherry and a pistachio cold foam. It has a specific taste but I liked it a lot! It's not a mix of flavors I'd normally think of but I ended up finishing my drink which I don't always do, even with matcha drinks. The croissants & bread were fresh and each dish was beautifully plated. I love a dish that both looks good and tastes good and it delivered both. The outdoor patio is covered and a great spot to enjoy your meal if the weather is beautiful and breezy which is was the day we dined here. The inside is also such a cute vibe. Such a great spot and will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

    My husband and I went on a much needed date night tonight. I've always wanted to give BB's a try…read moreand finally convinced him! We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect. My husband ordered the ribeye and his was medium, his was also spot on. Then of course, we had to get dessert. I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try. The only negative thing that I would say is that it's a bit cramped, so it was very loud and hard to hear each other at points. This was an amazing dinner. We will be back

    Had a fantastic double date tonight celebrating my girlfriend's birthday! We were greeted warmly…read moreand given a nice table in the dining room. Our waiter, Evan, was very proactive & offered suggestions with menu items. We started with some cocktails, the gentlemen with the cider beer & an old fashioned. I chose a glass of bubbly & the birthday girl had the fizz cocktail. It was incredible with a fresh blackberry puree. We started with the fried green tomatoes & the calamari, both were delicious! Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter! Would absolutely request him in the future.

When listening to him with other tables, he treats them the same as he does With regard to the food, we tried the croissant egg sandwich, which I will say was outstanding. The cheese grits, hands-down these are the best in the city of Jacksonville. Thick and loaded with cheese and just the right amount of pepper, you can never go wrong with them Still not sure what is better the Service from Andre or the cheese grits but either way you can never go wrong here

    We recently had brunch / lunch at The Toasted Yolk Cafe. We hit up the location at 10915…read moreBaymeadows, just west of 295 in the shopping center with Winn-Dixie. I ordered from the Dynamic Duo (sandwich & soup combo) menu. I picked the Reuben and Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's been a minute since I've had either. The Reuben was good with my one critique being that I could've used a little more Thousand Island on it. The soup was good as well and not too spicy. I always order Chicken Tortilla and hope for the best because I've had it swing way past my threshold for heat but this didn't. It has a kick for sure but not too bad. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Chicken & Yolk Biscuit Sandwich. She really liked it with the biscuit itself exceeding what she expected. Like me, her only small issue with that she liked that hot honey so much, she would've liked a little more on it. That's something she knows to ask for next time though, so no biggie. We sat at the bar and service was great from everyone we interacted with. This was out third time here since they opened. My wife pointed out that she liked her first visit and this one better than the second. She had a regular platter the second time, so she thinks sticking with their specialties is the best way to go.
