Best Desserts ever. There food is excellent as well But those desserts might be the best in all of Florida, they certainly are in Jacksonville read more

This place is amazing, from their cuisine to the staff! Top notch restaurant. Must go if you are in the area.

I just had the most amazing experience at BBs tonight. I've been there once before. The two friends that I went with tonight and the other time I came are frequent visitors to the restaurant. They agree that this was one of their best visits. Our waiter, Kate, was amazing and I will definitely request her next time I go. My friend had me try a red wine, the sixth sense, and it was a for sure winner. Plus, The price was very reasonable at eight dollars for the glass. My food was amazing as well! I had the hummus appetizer and a salad that I modified to make vegan friendly with lemon vinaigrette; plus, I added avocado. We had a quite tipsy guy help himself to our cable and we were not very excited about it. Some of the employees noticed this and one came over to help. They very politely had the guy leave our table. They told us they are very strong on girl code!I was very impressed with the entire evening and had an amazing time that I don't think I could have had that experience anywhere else tonight! P.s. Don't forget to ask for Kate! read more

BB's - They made my dinner vegan Hummus and yummy salad - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I HIGHLY recommend bb's for your special occasion, date night, or just a damn good meal! I showed up last night tired, a little cranky, and way past the point of starvation. I was ready for a stiff drink and an indulgent meal and, lucky for me, bb's easily accommodated both of these cravings, and then some! The hostess was friendly as she led us to a cozy, corner booth that looked to be the best table for two in the place. I immediately responded to the nice, but not stuffy atmosphere. The decor was a cool blend of blacks, teals, and wood with a homey, down-to-earth feel that made me relax instantly. As I perused the clipboard menu, I noticed that the prices weren't quite so laid back. ($25-$30 an entree) Hmmm, this better be good! I decided to keep an open mind and order whatever my heart desired. :) For my cocktail, I went with the Cucumber Mojito, and when a martini glass appeared before me, I was a little confused. The waitress apologetically explained that she'd rung in a Cucumber Gin Martini. I went to hand it back, but she told me just to enjoy it, and that'd she bring my mojito out free of charge. Well, if you insist! As I sipped the smooth, crisp tini I completely forgot my monetary concern of moments before. It was so refreshing! We started with the Duck Wonton Napoleon appetizer, which came out in a stacked tower of pulled, shredded duck, crispy wonton, carmelized onions, apples and Boursin cheese. Whoa! Swirls of balsamic glaze were strewn across the stack, making for a truly mouth-watering (and fun!) vision. Believe it or not, this creation tasted even better than it looked! The duck was so juicy and tender, not the least bit gamey, and danced deliciously with the creamy Boursin and crunchy wonton. Add in the tartness of apples and the bittersweet balsamic and you've got something truly mind-blowing; think gourmet duck BBQ infusion. Just heavenly. Hopefully the lady next to me wasn't too turned off by the fork-licking that ensued! We didn't quite finish the tower, but decided that the remaining meat would be awesome in a breakfast scramble or a mini taco the next day. The waitress happily removed it and presented us with the box at the end of the meal. Classy! For the main munch, we decided to split the Diver Scallop entree. If you're a scallop lover, I highly recommend ordering them cooked Medium. They come out so, so tender and retain more of that fresh, scallopy sumptuousness. bb's does theirs creatively with parsnip puree, yummy green lentils, pancetta, leeks, and watermelon radish. Quite the concoction, and it blended together flawlessly! Every bite was an eye-rolling, head-swaying, oh-my-god-i-love-my-life moment. Perfectly executed! I felt a little wave of stinginess upon tasting and wished I hadn't split them. Oh well, sharing is caring... I guess. After finishing up my TWO cucumber cocktails, I mustered up the courage to try one of bb's famous desserts. There was a swoon-worthy display case at the front when we arrived, and I'd fixed my sights on a sizeable bowl of Croissant Bread Pudding. We went for it and ordered a couple espressos to fight off the food coma that would surely ensue. When the dish came out topped with already-melting, buttery vanilla ice cream, I dug in with a mission. As the first bite introduced itself to my already overextended taste buds, my eyes bulged with shock. OH. MY. GOD. Sweet, savory, raisiny, creamy, decadent, delightful goodness. This had to be the best bread pudding I'd ever tasted! Swirls of chocolate, raspberry sauce and sprinklings of powdered sugar populated the remaining plate area, and I wasted no opportunity to savor every flavor. Forget everything I said before, this was by far my favorite moment of the meal. Is it overdoing it to say I reached a spiritual high via bread pudding? Cause I'm pretty sure that's what happened. At the end of the meal, my date and I agreed that yes, bb's was worth every penny, and yes, we needed to find a couch ASAP. I will definitely be back to try more of this interesting and intensely satisfying menu. In fact, I can't wait. Thanks bb's for an incredibly memorable Jacksonville dining experience! read more

My husband and I are visiting Jacksonville from Key West, and decided to try BBs because of their excellent reviews and closeness to the hotel we are staying in. After coming from Key West, I am used to "casual" dress code for even the "fancy" restaurants. So after we dropped our stuff off in our room, we head straight to dinner (me still wearing my jeans with a hole on the knee, and my combat type boots). We arrive at around 6:30 and the hostess doesn't greet us, just looks at us, looks me up and down (making me feel uncomfortable and like I was being judged). We were told it would be an hour and half wait, do we stuck around for a seat at the bar, which was pretty cool. The bartender started out great and very nice, but after serving us our first round and appetizer, he became very inattentive and did not pay us much mind (despite the bar area being fairly small). The duck appetizer was great, as were our mixed drinks. When I ordered my entree, I was told they did not have any more grouper, and that the replacement would be trigger fish (which was awesome to hear because I prefer trigger fish over grouper). Well, my entree was a major disappointment... The potatoes were very good, but the trigger fish was way over cooked and chewy (you know when fish is overcooked and it sticks to your teeth?). A $29 (small portioned) entree should not be overcooked. What does that $29 go towards? Someone that can't cook fish right? In the meantime, the bartender continued paying us no mind and not once asked us how we were doing, or if I needed more water (empty water glass), or anything. Nada. Nothing from him until we literally finished eating (about an hour of not hearing a peep from him towards us, but was paying many others wonderful attention). Didn't even ask us how our food was. Now, keep in mind, my husband and I are very nice people, not rude, and did not do or say anything rude to deserve this type of treatment from any of the staff. I am giving this restaurant one star because of both the food quality and service I experienced. They clearly have a certain status quo they cater to, and if you don't fit their "type," you don't get good service (or any service at all). I would have rather had them tell me I don't fit their dress code, and turn me away, than have wasted $113 (including a $24 tip, as I understood it wasn't his fault the fish was overcooked, and that bartenders depend on tip money... And I am what most people call "too nice"). I will not consider ever giving this place a second chance. read more

BB's - My (apparently) unacceptable attire... - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

A coworker suggested BB's while we were in Jacksonville for work. It was a GREAT suggestion!! All four of us LOVED our meals. Between all of us we ordered duck, roasted chicken, and crab cake sandwich. Then we all shared the bread pudding dessert. The crab cake was so delicious. If you go here without trying it you're missing out! I wish I lived closer to try ALL of their desserts. They looked amazing. I have NO complaints about this restaurant. I definitely recommend getting reservations if on a busy night as this restaurant is not very big. I would also note that this is more of a $$$ priced restaurant. The roasted chicken was around $24. read more

Let me start by saying that the Grand Marnier cake that I ordered here was 5 star quality without a question. It was an orange flavored cake that was really moist and fluffy. There was orange Grand Marnier liquor in there somewhere, but I couldn't tell you if it was in the pineapple cream cheese frosting or in the cake itself. There were also white chocolate shavings on the outside of the cake. Long story short, this cake was tropical heaven. The slice I was given was huge as well; I couldn't finish it in one sitting and it can definitely be shared if you're feeling full. The presentation was nice as well; the caramel swirls and powdered sugar added a nice touch. If I were to review solely based on the cake, this place would get 5 stars from me. The service at BB's is what knocked it down two stars, sadly. I came with a friend solely for dessert around 10 or so on a Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded and we were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess. We were greeted by our waiter and served our customary glasses of water. When we told him that we had only come for dessert, he told us that we could walk over to the dessert display case and pick what we wanted when we were ready to order and then he promptly walked away. I just thought that was odd, especially since I'd seen multiple tables in the restaurant with dessert that never had to leave their seats. Also, my friend told me that when she last came to BB's, the waiter listed off and explained the available desserts to her party while they were still at the table. So, when we made our way over to the dessert display, there were about 10-15 different desserts to choose from. I kid you not, our waiter proceeds to list off all of the desserts in about 10 seconds, without explaining any of them before asking us "OK you got that?" To which I responded, "Well, honestly, that was a lot to take in at once." He then promptly walked away, again. It was some of the most perplexing service that I've ever had in my life. I can't say that he was rude, because he wasn't. He was completely polite and never had an attitude, but his service still managed to be sub-par and lacking. I do want to give a huge shout-out to Erin behind the dessert counter, because immediately after our waiter walked off and left us clueless, she stepped up and explained each dessert to us in detail (including ingredients; for example I wouldn't have known that the Grand Marnier cake had pineapple in it had she not told me). She answered all of our questions, gave recommendations, and even described all of the flavors to us. 5 star service from Erin for sure! If I ever return to BB's it'll probably be for cake to go. I won't fault any of the staff here other than our particular waiter because the other employees were absolutely lovely. Maybe he was tired or having a bad day; I only interacted with him for 1 hour out of 24. I'd be lying if I said that I haven't been there too. read more

BB's - Orange Grand Marnier Cake - really good! - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Ok, so perhaps I stumped the server when I asked for the southwest chicken quesedilla without the chicken and cheese. . . Usually chefs figure it out even if the servers cannot. My job is to give them a challenge. . .something different in their day--see what they come up with. Well, what they came up with was black beans, corn with sauce toasted in a tortilla with a mixed green salad and polenta on the side. Wow!! This was a meal that had many great bites throughout! I was really impressed with the creativity and flavor of the meal. read more

I tried the goat cheese salad after reading the reviews. Oh em gee. So delish. The warm honey vinagrette - seriously? Whomever thought to put that on a salad was genuis! The have a great $25 pre fix menu that includes an appetizer (that turned out to be a wimpy salad), entree and dessert. But for the price, it was great. I'm removing a star because although it's atmospheric, it was hard to have a conversation with the noise level. The tables are so close my servers kept leaning over me to move around the tables. Maybe it was a one-time gig, maybe the guy at the table next to me had a really big gut or something. Also - I asked to swap half a chicken breast for the prosciutto on my salad. (I don't eat any pork products.) They charged me extra. I really think that's crappy because I'm pretty sure prosciutto costs a lot more than plain old chicken. They made up for it with bread pudding. Redemption, thy name is dessert. read more

Came to Jacksonville to visit friends, and after an evening out, one of my friends recommended BB's, so we stopped in for dessert, and was immediately drawn to the display case housing some of the most delicious looking cakes, and pies. The young lady behind the dessert counter was more than happy to describe each one to me, and the bartender was joking with us and attentive to our needs. The desserts are out of this world! Need to revisit soon!! read more

Descent food. Look really pretty. I really love the environment. The taste of the food was just ok considering the high price. Overall it's a good restaurant! read more

This is a classy little spot tucked away off Hendricks that serves good food with some solid drink specials. On Wednesdays, it's $6 martini night- and that's for top shelf whatever you want- great deal! The prix fix menu is a good deal at $30, but we opted for a couple sandwiches that didn't disappoint. The fish sandwich was good- a touch dry- but good flavors, good fish and a nice caesar salad on the side. The crabcake sandwich was also tasty, but the bread it was served on was stale and didn't help the sandwich at all. Either crisp that bread up or leave it off the plate. The appetizer might have been the favorite- great fried oysters on top of a nice steak tartare. Good combo- wouldn't have thought of it. Desserts are huge and amazing. All in all for $60, we got 3 cocktails, 2 sandwiches, an appetizer and a slice of cake. Great deal and tasty times! read more

Yesterday was a revelation. I think I finally found a few good restaurants in JAX! It's about time! I went to BB's for the first time ever, and couldn't be happier to try a few appetizers for our dinner. The decor was chic and the food was great. I am a happy ex-New Yorker. I went with the boyfriend and got the special pork belly pizza, tuna tartar and bruschetta appetizer to share. We were originally planning to get 5 appetizers as our dinner, but the good portioned dishes were more than we could handle! We started with the tartar. It was tangy and flavorful and had a good combination of textures between the tuna and the crunchy crostinis. The fish was OK (for JAX standards)- nothing too spectacular, but it definitely was better than the other raw fish we've had in the JAX area. The pizza was a bit salty, but I guess that's what you get when you have a pizza with pork belly all over. It tasted more like a vietnamese sandwich on a pizza- which reminded me of all the good asian food I am missing out by being in JAX! So this one was definitely a fave. A little salty, but still a good-y. The bruschetta was my least favorite. A roll of bread with some mozzarella melted in between slices, the ingredients were fresh, but the flavors were underwhelming. I would steer away from it next time I visit. I unfortunately only got to try 3 dishes, but am very happy to find the San Marco dining district! I can't wait to try more and come back to BB's! read more

There's a dearth of good restaurants in the area around the Hyatt, which is where I stayed for a conference recently (see my 1 star review of that "ish show" on my profile). I took a conference break and a Lyft over to BB's and was not disappointed. I came in at around 3:30pm on a Saturday and it was quiet, as expected given the time of day. Had the ancho spiced rotisserie turkey sandwich with a Cesar salad on the side. That was a solidly good sandwich: slightly warm, good flavor, neither light nor heavy, the right textures, etc. Friendly staff, easygoing, and no pressure. I came in alone and they had no problem with me taking my time, enjoying my beer, perusing desserts, and just generally being a slow customer glued to my phone. A lovely Saturday solo lunch. I don't have many nice things to say about Jacksonville-no shade to the locals, just not for me- but this was a rare gem. read more

BB's - Cake! - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Great desserts! Although it appeared dark on the outside, they were open and had modified hours due to the holiday weekend. Be sure to call if you are not sure. I went in for croissant bread pudding and left with mango key lime pie. It looked amazing and tasted fresh. I definitely need to go back. BB's is great for desserts if you are meeting late, or if you have already eaten and want a special treat. read more

Dinner at the bar this eve -- and it was disappointing. If you're going to serve a duck breast, it better be something other than flabby meat with improperly seared skin. I order duck for flavor. This was as bland as I've ever been served it (and I've had a lot of f-ing duck). I think this place might be fine for flat-breads at the bar -- which I noticed everyone else was eating, so unless that's what I want, I won't be going back. Another thing: I ordered the "signature" manhattan (or whatever it was called on the menu, "Uptown" I think) and it was supposed to be with Knob Creek, and the bartender sub'd in Makers (which was sitting right next to the Knob, WTF?). Uh, not cool for someone who knows his bourbon. Again, I don't expect to return. read more

I went for dessert only about three or so times. Everything was delicious but the orange grand marnier cake will be my birthday cake for years to come and after the first bite my boyfriend and I agreed it'll be our wedding cake and we're not even engaged!! read more

After my first time here I was tremendously impressed by all aspects of my evening. The wine list was extensive, the service was phenomenal, the food was delicious (even vegetarian friendly!!), and the dessert was delectable! I would highly recommend BB's!! Don't leave without trying the dessert! read more

Another one of Jacksonville's go to restaurants. If you are looking for a nice, funky, yet sophisticated dining experience, this is a great place to check out. The atmosphere is nice, with lots of brushed metal and frosted glass. Most of the seating is table seating, with a few booths around the outer edges on the far side of the restaurant. They also have a long bar that stretches across the front/side of the restaurant that is a great place to sit and have a martini and an appetizer. The food is always delicious... your standard gourmet, New American cuisine. For appetizers, I LOVE their Tempura Fried Green Beans [$8] and the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare [$12]. As I am a lady watching my waistline [on occasion], I am always stoked to find a place with awesome salads, and BB's has some of the best salads in Jacksonville. My favorites are the Warm Goat Cheese Salad [$11.50 - with locally grown arugula & baby lettuces, toasted walnuts, prosciutto, dates, goat cheese croutons and warm orange blossom honey... YUM] and the Mediterranean Chicken Salad [$11.50 - with french green beans, kalamata olives, tomatoes, feta cheese and a lemon herb vinaigrette], but all of the salads are killer. They have awesome entrees of Chilean Sea Bass, Duck, Filet... once again your standard gourmet fare. But it is all completely delicious. And you cannot forget their DESSERTS. YUM. I am in love with their Croissant Bread Pudding [yes you heard me, $7.50 - with currants, raisins & cherries, served warm with vanilla ice cream] and the Creme Brulee [$7.50 - topped with a blackberry compote]. The Chocolate Truffle Cake [$7.50] is also to die for. If you want some fancy eats that won't kill your wallet, then this is a great place to go. read more

Went recently with two of my good friends and had a phenomenal experience. Bo T. was our server, he was knowledgable of the menu, and answered all of our questions. We had the Duck Wonton appetizer and it was unique and one of the best things I've had since I moved to Jacksonville. On Bo's suggestion, I ordered the Jambalaya Pizza & it was a delicious and memorable dish, unlike any other pizza. I will definitely be back. A wonderful experience and a new favorite spot. read more

Great birthday dinner with my love. I had whole pompano and he had halibut; both very good! Desserts are incredible, worth coming for alone!

Love BB's!! Salmon salad is my favorite and the soups are really good too, although you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Desserts are always on point as well and the cocktails are delicious! Service is always good, I've never had a bad experience. read more

First time at BB's. Great interior design, good food, clean interior and smiling staff. I recommend for a Saturday lunch. Recommend making reservation ahead of time, but still quickly found a spot. I assume BB's would be an after-work spot. Had many wine options on the menu. Can't vouch for cocktails. I hope to find another review to provide this detail. I plan to return. read more

Delicious! Definitely worth a try. I had the Ancho Spiced Rotisserie Turkey: Bread - Was perfect. It was ciabatta bread that wasn't done too crunchy, but perfectly airy with a crisp on the outside. Substance - Overall came together very well! The sandwich was perfectly balanced and wasn't dry at all. Environment - Was great. perfect for a small group of date. Mild lighting with good decor. Dessert - I didn't get any, because I was too full. But I will be going back to try the Bread Pudding. Everyone else raved about it, and the waitress seemed to be quite excited about it too. For next time :) Overall, pretty good for Jacksonville! read more

Food is always perfect. Desert beats that. Pricy. And although I used to pay it I now go to better places for less money. If the bill is not important to you then this would be a great casual upscale place. The noise level is low so I would come here with people I already know. A spouse or some close friends. It is definitely an intimate setting for dinner. Wouldn't recommend this for a first date- Unless you are really trying to impress. Lunch time is a great hopping spot for healthy and upscale meals. You'll always get 5 star service here. Drinks are amazing. read more

Loved sitting outside on the patio but it made getting service a little more challenging if your server disappeared and I noticed the table next to us had to get a manager to get their bill from their server which tells me it wasn't just ours missing. Aside from that, my skirt steak was cooked to perfection and delicious. Instead of mash potatoes, I opted for the bb's garden salad and was brought out a bowl of greens...that's it. When I asked the server if this was the salad he said, "it's just what they put out in place of your potatoes ", but luckily he came back with tomatoes, purple onion, and some croutons like the menu states. My husbands Chicken Caesar salad was great and to finish off the meal was an INCREDIBLE bread pudding. I seriously would probably get back just for that bread pudding. read more

Made a reservation to visit BB's for date night & was not disappointed! We started with a cheese plate featuring a georgia red, castello blue & cranberry wensleydale. It came with honey comb, dried fruits & nuts & french bread. My husband chose the orrechiette with spicy sausage, chicken, spinach, sofrito, almonds & capers as an entree. It had a nutty/earthy flavor & was light & different. I had the steak bistro sandwich with field greens. It was a little heavier with brie, carmelized onions, tomatoes, dijonaise. We both had a couple glasses of wine from their large selection. The service was good for a busy Saturday night & our food came out hot & as ordered. Will def come here again & recommend to others. read more

I live in Jacksonville and am currently out of town. When I was thinking about the last awesome meal I had, my brain immediately went to BB's. Every time I eat at BB's I am impressed, but the past time I went with my boyfriend and we indulged ourselves in everything we wanted and it was great. We had the calamari and a cheese plate to start. As someone who eats calamari regualarly, I have to commend the chef's at BB's for making this dish consistently great. It is served with an asian vegetable salad dressed in sesame seeds and a spicy chile sauce that is better than any sauce of the kind that I've had. The cheese plate was great, but very rich and filing. For my entree, I ordered the filet. I debated over the menu for quite awhile before choosing this, but since I hadn't had red meat in awhile, I figured it was going to be a good choice. When it arrived, I was in awe. I took a photo it looked so great. It comes served char-grilled with melted boursin cheese and toasted hazelnuts on top, with bacon-shallots-potatoes-gratin, asparagus, and a bourdelaise sauce around the sides of the plate. I ordered my meat on the rare side of medium-rare and it was cooked PERFECTLY. I haven't had a better meal since and this was about 3 months ago. read more

In twelve years of living in northeast Florida, there has only been a few restaurants that have been able to turn my head from side to side in a manner of astonishment. Where have we been that we've missed this place? Now, it's on our top dining places. Including Robert as our top sever in all of Jacksonville. DROPPING THE MICROPHONE!!!! read more

Quality food, great service, trendy, mid-to-upscale atmosphere, attractive waitstaff. My mom, sister, and I were driving through Jacksonville on a road trip and we were in need of a good sit-down meal to offset all those miles of Arby's and Burger King. After a quick perusal of the Yelp reviews, I brought them here. Good job, Yelp. Sensing that this place had a bit of a Mediterranean flair, we started off with a Hummus platter, which I highly recommend. The Shrimp Bisque soup was good, super creamy and a little sweet. I wasn't crazy about my Minestrone, but they serve it with some thin toast covered in melted cheese. Delicious. Based on the reviews, I recommended my mom get the Warm Goat Cheese Salad. This was definitely the best dish on the table. Savory, smooth, slightly sweet chunks of goat cheese baked into little pieces of soft bread. I had a Cajun Shrimp Salad, which was decent. They grilled the shrimp perfectly, and the dressing was great. My sister got a very juicy, tender Bistro Steak Sandwich. Oh, and maybe it was all the truckstop bathrooms we'd become accustomed to, but I found the facilities to be particularly regal. And when the check came, even that was pleasant. Will definitely stop by again next roadtrip! read more

On a Monday afternoon in Jacksonville, after a hard day's work, we all deserve a treat. Bb's agrees and that's why they're offering 2-for-1 on ALL wines! That's right, by the glass or bottle, your wine is 2 for the price of 1 on Mondays. My excellent bartender Ron started me off with a glass of white. I ordered up an early supper of the stuffed flatbread then sat back with a book to savor my vino and relax for a moment. The food came out quickly (and y'all this veggie sandwich is delicious) then I ordered up my second glass of vino to take advantage of this special. Overall, Bb's is a great atmosphere with delicious food and a stellar drink list. I'd suggest this place to anyone looking for a good foodie spot in downtown Jacksonville. And props to bartender Ron for being so damn nice. read more

Great food, great wine, great service. I've been here a few times and every time is better than the last. They've got a variety of price ranges on their menu, from $15 - $40. They have great specials too! read more

Love BB's everytime we have been there. Everything we've had from the Bistro Steak Sandwich to the White Truffle Pizza to of course the desserts were just delicious. Today we tried the Surf & Tartare . And I was highly impressed. The last time I had steak tartare was many years ago in Paris, France. However this twist on the surf and turf is brilliant. The tartare is perfectly cut with the right amount of spices which doesn't overwhelm the meat. The cornmeal crusted fried oysters is a wonderful complement. It also gives a superb texture that the raw egg in a traditional steak tartare does not. Add the capers, cornichons, and dijon aioli and you have yourself a quite delectable dish. It is definitely something we will be getting again read more

Definition of what Jacksonville needs more!! Wasn't sure about the close quarters of the place until the rich, business bastards right next to gave us the rest of their bottle of red wine upon leaving. I love, seriously I love it, how all the waiters are trying to be like that old show "The Restaurant". You know the one owned by Rocko....or whatever the hell his name is? They spend the whole time trying to convince you that they know every fucking pairing of wine to food known to mankind. And, when you ask them what they would recommend, they probably tell you the only thing they wanted to really memorize in exact detail for that night. But hey, whatever they recommended was fucking good so more power to ya. I loved the white chocolate cheesecake desert so much it's doomed to be my wedding cake.......I know how gay. read more

Always delicious!!! Fantastic atmosphere, great for a special occasion particularly a romantic dinner. Always get a reservation if you're going for dinner. We've eaten here five times in the past six months because we'll make up occasions just to go! It's that good. The food is fresh and creative yet not so overly fussy/trendy that your manly man won't like it. And then there's dessert. The biggest issue you're going to have is deciding which one to have. The cakes are so moist they don't even need icing but you have some and it is light and fluffy and delicious. Before you order a slice for everyone, better check it out. One slice can easily feed a table of four in my opinion, but nothing wrong with taking it home either, which I have, and I will, again, soon. Their cocktails are also inventive and delicious. They change with the seasons and you're sure to find something for everyone. The only downsides are parking and price. Parking is a challenge so be prepared to find a spot nearby and walk a little - you might want to re-think those crazy heels ladies! And price, well, it's a little high but for the quality of food I'd say warranted. Lunch is as good as dinner so if you are on a budget try lunch! But do GO! read more

My husband made reservations here for our date night. Reservations was for 730pm and we arrived about 710. The hostess seated us right away. We sat for a few minutes before our server came to our table. He took our drink order and we sat a little longer looking over the menu. The restaurant is a bit tiny but the ambiance is quite romantic. A bit noisy but I would expect that because of the size of the restaurant and the closeness of the patrons. We ordered the stuffed mozzarella bruschetta and then dinner. We waited for sometime and then our food arrived ( I ordered the crispy crab cake sandwich and my husband ordered steak-cant remember the actual dish) but no appetizer. We informed out waiter that we received our food before the appetizer. He informed us that he forgot to put the order in but made it right by not charging us for the appetizer because of the inconvenience. Definitely enjoyed the dining experience and looking forward to going back for brunch. read more

I couldn't make up my mind between 3 or 4 stars, so really Ill give it 3.5 stars. We were told that the desserts were pretty good, but we also wanted to try them for their entrees. We ate here on a Friday night and we didn't need reservations. We got there and they sat us right away. Although I do suggest you make reservations if you have more than two people cause its a pretty small place. Also parking might be kinda hard. They do have a private lot but usually its pretty full, we were lucky enough to find a spot. They do have bar seating and outside seating. I don't drink alcohol, I am a soda gal and I ordered a diet coke and what they gave me was a glass full of ice and a diet coke can. I wasn't too thrilled with that haha. I don't know, just didn't like that. Anyways I ordered there Yellow tale Snapper. Which went over coconut rice. On top of fish, was some papaya, basil, mint, and mung beans. I thought the dish was just ok. I couldn't really taste the coconut in the rice and supposedly the fish was suppose to be spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. I don't know, I just wasn't wowd. My husband got Veal, but I don't remember what went with it. But he thought his dish was just ok as well. We did order desserts. I ordered a slice of apple pie and my husband ordered a slice of hazelnut bunt cake. Well I have to say that people who we talked to were right. Their desserts were great. I think if we ever do come back, it would be for their desserts. read more

I give a total 5 starts to this place. I was in Jacksonville for business and went there twice !yeah, it was that good. Ambience is modern and casual. My waiter was excellent and very engaging while explaining the menu and making recommendations. I had the Mediterranean salad and the lemon chicken soup on my 1st visit. Next day I tried the Asian chop salad with Tuna; Both salads exceeded my expectations. Finally, had the rum cake, which is a very generous portion, and it was outstanding. This place is totally worth to visit again and try more items from their menu. read more
