    Always a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
    Matt H.

    This is a gem downtown Jacksonville. It is our go-to before every performance at the Jacksonville Performing Arts Center, and they never disappoint. From your greeting at the door, the interaction with your server, to the arrival of the food, this is a wonderful dining experience. The chefs take care with every meal to ensure the quality- it's not just a plate thrown together. And the managers are actively overseeing the pass to ensure accuracy and standards. The bar is quick to get out wine and cocktails, and the ambience is relaxing and enjoyable. This may be a restaurant in a hotel, but it is no hotel restaurant!

    Great little date night. Burger and Snapper didn't disappoint. They were short staffed but Taylor our server delighted us with extra attention and tasty food. Thank you

    October 15-22, 2024 - I stayed at the Marriott (reviewed separately) and came into J Bar/Juliette's Bistro almost daily. The meals I had for lunch and dinner were consistently good. The buffet breakfast did get boring after 4 days, but the breakfast menu has some great choices. The Marriott burger, Mahi, Snapper, and prime sirloin were all very good. There is a full bar, and the cocktails were good. There were specialty cocktails, beers on tap, and a decent wine selection too. Depending upon the number of people, especially if a sports game is on, was loud there. The large dining area was consistently quiet. At lunch and dinner the staff was frequently very busy, but did keep up. During breakfast, it was very hit or miss and it did not seem to make a difference with the amount of people eating nor the number of waitstaff. Sometimes with an empty ice tea glass sitting empty at the edge of the table it would be promptly refilled (after being asked) and other times staff would walk by several times w/o any acknowledgment. It was very chilly in the larger dining area. The bar and seating areas were much more comfortable.

    Came for a quick dinner before the show across the street at the Moran theater. Good, quick service. Mahi was pretty good, but I wish it would have some flavorful sauce, it was pretty plain with just salsa.

    If you're going to a show across the street at The Preforming Arts Center then this is a great place to stop for a drink at the bar inside the Marriott. Parking is right there & makes everything easy. However, our party of 8 found Juliette's ( JBar) very underwhelming. From the minute we walked in to the packed restaurant/ bar it had an overwhelming smell of frying meat and the place was so Smokey I had a hard time keeping my eyes from watering. They have an open kitchen that obviously needs a much better ventilation system during busy times when they are frying burger after burger. Our waiter although nice seemed pretty overwhelmed as well. He said he could only give our party of 8, 6 separate checks which was ok with us. This meant 2 people would be on one check. Ok fine. Hold that thought I'll get back to this. The menu is very limited & really needed several more snacky, appetizer / light fare choices. we were disappointed because apparently their happy hour is from 1-5 and our party arrived at 5:30 so no drink specials for us sadly. a glass of wine was $14. 2 in our party ordered their special drinks and were served them in plastic cups & were told " sorry we ran out of glasses" Overall review of our party of 8 on menu items - Burger 7/10 1/2 wedge salad 6/10 Hummus 5/10 Shrimp & grits 8/10 Now we were making a show that started at 7 which the waiter knew ( everyone else there was going to the show as well judging by how it cleared out by 6:30) this is when we asked for checks. The waiter messed up our checks so bad adding drinks on & charging for wrong items. It took him OVER A 1/2 hour to straighten it out making us late for the show. When I mentioned to the manager the problem with the checks his response was " Yeah when that happens it's a big mess and takes a lot to straighten out" Our overall experience was pretty poor which is a shame because it's really a great location to the theater & parking. My recommendation is stop for a drink at The Marriott & eat somewhere else in the neighborhood.

    We had a very nice visit here after seeing Hamilton. We were seated right away. I had the Kale Caesar Salad! I was a little hesitant but it was excellent! The scallops were also roasted to perfection. I had a blackberry cider to go along with my meal. It was sweet, tangy and delicious. My brother-in-love had the fish and chips which left much to be desired. The fries were probably the best part as the fish was terribly overcooked. Our waitress was attentive, patient and kind. Not sure if this is a go to, but if you're a guest in the hotel where this is located and you're looking for fare you might as well!

    Don't know why, but this was my first visit to my local namesake, Juliette's Bistro! It's been here for years, and so have I -- but we've never seemed to cross paths. Well, this year's Yelpie Awards changed all that and our worlds collided, literally! Shouts out to Chris, who also ended up being our server after the near death experience of being bum rushed at the host stand while I was trying to make the last reservation of the night that I'd booked. I was ravenous, I didn't want the kitchen to close, and poor Chris took the brunt of it like a CHAMP! After mowing Chris over and apologizing, we were promptly seated and he took excellent care of us! We ordered many sides and small bites, then sampled a bit of everything available. A novel idea! My favorites were the deviled eggs (nice spin with the shrimp), the truffle mashed potatoes, the garlic grits, the crab and corn bisque, the collard greens, and the brussel sprouts-- actually, it's safe to say-- all of it! I enjoyed Juliette's and I'll be back (in less of a hurry) to take full advantage of that 25% off brunch check in offer (thanks Yelp) very soon. Magnifique!

    Salmon dip

    2 stars is generous for what we experienced. It was over an hour after we arrived by the time we were served appetizers. The smoked salmon dip was just cold salmon dip that tasted like it was from costco, served up with a an ice cream scoop. The octopus undercooked and over charred; which is not theoretically possible. The hostess was unprofessionally dressed and wasn't even at the hostess station when we arrived. Our waiter took 15 minutes to take our drink order, lost another lady's order at the table next to ours, and forgot my debit card when he returned the check. The kitchen space was cluttered, there were crates of dishes sitting on the decorative areas and it was freezing cold. Absolutely skip this place. There are plenty of other lovely restaurants in downtown Jacksonville with better food, better ambience and better service for a smaller price tag. I cannot believe I paid $15 for scoops of premade dip and a few slices of bread, not to mention everything else.

The restaurant is situated so magnificently right on the water that it almost feels as though you are floating directly on the river.

Though it was briskly busy for Sunday service, the ambiance remained thoroughly pleasant and impeccably maintained. We were seated toward the back of the establishment, offering an utterly magnificent, unobstructed view of the river. To begin, I selected a crisp Corona Extra with a fresh slice of lemon, while my assistant opted for a fine beer. For our luncheon, we ordered a platter of raw oysters, which were extraordinarily fresh, perfectly chilled, and thoroughly divine for a late-afternoon meal. To top off a splendid day, we indulged in a warm cinnamon roll for dessert a delightfully decadent sweet finish. Watching the breathtaking sunset cast its glow over the water made for a truly magical afternoon. Impeccable views, fresh cuisine, and a wonderful atmosphere I shall most certainly be returning!

I'm already looking forward to coming back with my mom--she loves fresh seafood! The biggest reason I'll be returning, though, is the seafood selection and the fact that you don't have to get everything fried. That is a HUGE plus for me. I ordered the blackened stuffed flounder, and it was packed with flavor and extremely fresh. The two sides I chose were delicious as well, (cheese grits, sweet potato) and the selection of sides on the menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I also ordered a glass of white wine, which came in the prettiest glass. The atmosphere is another thing I really liked. It can be slightly dressy or super casual, making it a great spot for different occasions. I also loved having both booth and table seating options. My friend and I had amazing service from start to finish. Between the prices, portions, service, ambiance, and flavor of everything we tried, this was an easy 5/5 stars for me. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

There were a couple of other notable downsides. The restaurant was quite loud, and to top it all off, a woman at the table right next to us had her shoes off. Management really should have controlled that kind of behavior, as it detracts from the dining experience. Furthermore, despite making reservations to celebrate our anniversary, the restaurant did not acknowledge it at all. That was unfortunate. Still, the quality of the food and the service from our waiter kept things afloat.
