This is an order at the counter place. I've had breakfast here several times and today was my first time for lunch. I had the fall salad which was beautifully presented. It had two scoops of chicken salad, mandarin, oranges, almonds, raspberry vinegar et and other tasty things. I also had an order of the Italian wedding soup. It was flavorful with the little meatballs and orzo. My dining companion had an Aji tuna wrap, which was delicious and a Caesar salad again beautifully presented we will be back.

The food is excellent,especially the breakfast sausage,but whatever you order on the menu is 100% delicious !! The owners,Vee and Eddie are awesome...especially Vee and they make you feel so welcome !! Its my go to place whenever im visiting my sister in Jacksonville ! Was just there recentlly and will be back in late August. Thank you for everything !! Bob Woodall

This is a great little diner at end of strip of stores at corner of baymeadows & southside blvd, across from Publix. I was super happy with my visit, the food was delicious, I almost always order biscuits and gravy when i try a new place for breakfast, and the Deerwood bistro did not disappoint. I ordered the large biscuit & sausage gravy breakfast which comes with 2 biscuits covered with the gravy as topped with 3 eggs and with 2 sausage patty's, i also ordered a side of grits. The gravy was full of sausage and seasoned well served on homemade biscuits that were fluffy, my eggs were cooked perfectly, over easy with runny yolks and the grits were stone ground and also yummy. You order at the front counter and find a seat and are quickly served a fantastic meal, the ladies working there were very nice and attentive, they seemed happy to be there. The restaurant was so clean it shined! Seriously I know this is silly but even the salt and pepper shakers were clean and the table was shiny. I loved everything about this place and highly recommended it!

Really enjoy having lunch here. The food is so good. I enjoyed a Roasted Turkey Sandwich with a side Caesar salad. Once again I was blown away with the quality and size of the side salad. So fresh and perfectly prepared. The Roasted Turkey Sandwich was absolutely delightful. Beautiful fresh thin sliced RoastedTurkey breast with fresh tomato and lettuce, Swiss cheese and garlic aioli which was a nice condiment that was perfect. All served on beautiful thick and light grilled white bread. It was a wonderful sandwich. The meal was delivered to me in minus two minutes, lol, it seemed that quick. They don't play around. The food is a nice value too. Want a nice and relaxing spot... you should give it a whirl.

My aunt and uncle selected this as a place for us to have lunch today. I have to say it was a very good choice as the customer service that we received is outstanding. You can tell this is definitely a family owned restaurant by how they agreed entry their customers. Moreover the food was very good. The omelette was cooked just right, not overcooked and made to perfection. I love the marble right toast and my uncle enjoyed his pancakes as my aunt enjoyed her locks. Overall it was very good, the only thing that was not the greatest was the eclair. The inside was solidified then like which the acknowledged and was to to the baker and and quality a five hour and I will be back.

Simple but tasty, fresh and flavorful.

Breakfast at 1 pm - imagine that! Super fresh and cooked to perfection- hard to get soft scrambled eggs. Real grits, not just packaged and boiled. Premium bacon and they press their biscuits panini style so nice, toasty and buttered surfaces. I think they are family owned and it show in their pride of ownership. As in Clean tables, clean salt and pepper shakers- again- imagine that. So convenient at the corner of Baymeadows and Southside, near the Gate Station. Do yourself a favor and drop in!! Family owned and operated for 10 years and going strong.

We wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check…read morethis place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was…read morenot sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

I want to first talk about the outstanding service we received from Chelsey! What impressed me the…read moremost about her was when my friend asked her. What was your favorite thing on the menu? She started listing various options and provided details why they were her favorite. Someone who only knows the menu backwards and forwards and has personally partaken in the food would know such detail! It was so refreshing to hear her just talk about what she liked and why. And the most important part the "why" she liked it! You don't hear that too often. I had a conversation with the manager, Erik, and reiterated to him the importance of having such a dedicated professional (he promised me that not only what she recognized her for her outstanding job, but that she would receive two free meals as a reward for her customer center approach.) My friend had the del monico steak and they cooked it perfectly - the way he liked (breathing and mooing). My other two friends had the fried shrimp which they devoured! I was simple, just got the chicken sandwich, and I will admit I was disappointed because it was overcooked. However, Erik took care of that, and I was very generous of him. This goes back to seeing why Chelsea was as good as she was because it starts at the top and works it way down. Overall, this was a great experience because of the company, the ambience in the restaurant which is warm embracing and inviting and the great service we had from Chelsea and Erik.

Our waiter, Kyle, was absolutely incredible! He explained how the wine menu shows which wine pairs well with each food option. He also spoke to us about joining the wine club, which does seem like a good deal, if you have a location by you! I started by ordering a glass of moscato, which was very good. We then received a pretzel bread roll. This pretzel roll was incredibly good! It was crispy and airy, which is different than other rolls in a good way! I then ordered the Gnocchi Alla Vodka. Vodka sauce is my favorite type of sauce and Cooper's Hawk's vodka sauce did not disappoint! The dish was delicious and it had plenty of Italian sausage in it. You can also add other protein if you would like. If I am traveling and see another Cooper's Hawk, I will be sure to stop!

Despite presentation clearly not being a focus of the kitchen, the food has exceptional flavor…read more The wasabi mashed potatoes are very good, but the way they present them sort of makes it look like a cat puked in the middle of the potatoes. However, instead of the potatoes, being fluffy and white, they are dense in yellow, which does not contrast well with the wasabi sauce. The medallions were prepared to a perfect medium rare with very good flavor, and the toppings do not take away from the flavor of the meat. Of the three toppings available for the medallions the blue cheese is unremarkable and has a tendency to overpower the good flavor of the medallion. The service was great, and I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere. At $50.00 this meal is a little underwhelming. However, it is not bad. It is a good meal with good flavors overall and it is nice to have with a glass of wine on a late afternoon lunch..

True Food Kitchen is an extremely well thought out and delicious dining experience…read more The restaurant is beautiful outside and inside. It's elegant but simple inside. Great use of earth tone of green and brown along with wood floors and walls. There is every type of seating booths, tables both small and large. You can see into the kitchen and drink station and it's done in a way that just adds to the decor. We were seated immediately with our reservation and waited on with water soon after. There is no soda served here, just their own drink blends along with alcohol drinks. We had water and decided to try their drinks another time. Everything is fresh, locally sourced and delicious. I had the jambalaya pasta and it was really good. Slightly spicy, the shrimp and chicken cooked to perfection and the "holy trinity " hit just right. My wife ordered the farmer's scramble off of the brunch menu and it was amazing as well. The true star of our meal may have been the sweet potato chips. Just the perfect crunch, the exact right amount of salty and sweet...fantastic. The fries were solid, the sauce was unique, tangy and a great accompaniment. Our lemon blueberry muffin was just a bit dry. Average in a meal that was otherwise stellar. Because they use such fresh ingredients and cook it in ways that are a bit more healthy, I left feeling full but not overly stuffed or bad. If you haven't tried True Food Kitchen, I highly suggest you do. There's something for everyone and everything is done well.

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.

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!

The overall restaurant looked clean and great for a date night. We weren't feeling too hungry so we ordered the following based on the waitress and our friend's recommendations: 1) Crispy Brussels sprouts 2) Duck Fat Corn Bread 3) House made pasta + sugo The crispy brussels sprouts were a bit undercooked and lacked flavor but if you prefer a less crispy Brussel sprout dish I would recommend it over the duck fat corn bread. The duck fat corn bread was disappointing. It was an odd combination of flavors that did not mix very well. The corn bread was mushy and the crisp Napa cabbage with the random ranch/spicy sauce combo did not pair well and left my mouth feeling confused. I had high expectations for their house made pasta as they had a pasta maker out for viewing. The pasta was overcooked and every bite was an interesting mix of flavors...some bites salty...some bites unseasoned. There was barely any meat present and overall we ended up not finishing our meal and wrapping up the night. The only good thing we had was the homemade soda that I did not get a picture of but I believe was the hibiscus one. Overall I would recommend this place for drinks but not dinner.

This is a great option for a (spendy) girls' night out…read more I came here with a bunch of work colleagues for dinner. The setting is lovely, especially if you are here during the sunset. Service was attentive and gracious. I started with a rose spritz, the avocado carpaccio, and the half roast chicken. The spritz was a delight. Not too sweet, very refreshing. The carpaccio was amazing with the smoked salt, and the briny caviar. My friend ordered the chips and dip, and heaven on earth is combining the two appetizers (a chip topped with avocado and then a dollop of creme fraiche/caviar). The chicken was okay. I should have gone with something else, but I panic-ordered. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't remarkable. I should have gone with a fancy salad or the lobster roll. My second drink, a glass of rose, was okay but wasn't served ice cold, a disappointment. I shared a chocolate chip cookie at the end of the meal, and it was absolutely delicious. I'd happily return with that crew of ladies, and I'd happily recommend this place for a date night.

They have a new menu! There are wayyyy more options with four instead of two pages of offerings...from caviar carpaccio vs specialties to chilled seafood to petite baked potatoes, there's plenty of new items to try! So I went with the grilled avocado with caviar that I probably wouldn't order again... that's because the overly rich and buttery flavor of the avocado dominated the dish and muted the subtle oceanic notes of the caviar. The roasted chicken salad was pretty plain... literally just chicken and butter lettuce! It made me miss the Mulholland Drive salad. I'll still return for the ambience and excellent service... hopefully will find something better next time.
