    Happy Anniversary to my wife and I, We wanted a nice place to celebrate 5 years of marriage, one of my coworkers suggested Matthew's. The service was incredible, our server was amazing, very knowledgeable of the menu and the specials. The food was delicious and amazing. The ambiance was infectious, 5 stars!! Great place to go a celebration.

    Wildly disappointed in the service and the food. The plating of all dishes seems to be from a graduate from fscj culinary program. Flavorless lifeless not one dish out of 6 made me think I can't wait to come back here. The most authentic person FOH was the hostess and the waiters assistant. The timing of the meal ruined the entire experience of what this restaurant should be delivering for the price point. The real goob stopper is when the sun sets and they raise the blinds to see the traffic outside really showcasing why jacksonville is such a unique city of despair.

    Wonderful food, amazing service, and great spot to celebrate our anniversary! Loved having a few of the kitchen from our table.

    Delicious food. Branzino had a delicious caviar sauce. Pork chop was really tender and flavorful. Great service and our waiter was very impressive with his knowledge of the menu.

    What an experience, from the atmosphere to the food. Everything was delicious and well served. Absolutely worth the price and wait. Best service I have seen.

    Matthew's is without a doubt Jacksonville's flagship fine dinning restaurant. The attention to detail and excellent service starts with their valet and continues with the rest of the staff. The decoration is simple and elegant with a kitchen that integrates with the dinning room allowing diners to view where the magic occurs. We opted to decide on our 3 courses, and I particularly went for some of Caroline's favourite (our server) the foie gras. My other choices included the steak tartare and the scallops. I may have difficulty choosing something else next time I decide to go, as all three plates were exquisite.

    This is one of my favorite places to eat. I can't recommend it enough. We have done the chef tasting menu four times and we are never disappointed. I can't say enough about our server Peter. He is absolutely fabulous. I told him I was going to rave about him on my review so here it is. He knew his menu, his wine selections and went above and beyond to make sure I had a perfect birthday celebration. Of all the service I have had he will by far be one of my most memorable. Thank you for keeping a smile on my face the entire evening, and that's not just the wine and bourbon talking. We truly loved this whole experience. The food was amazing, the restaurant is beautiful and service was top notch.

    Mah Wife got me the most excellent early Christmas gift tonight: a 6-course Chef's Adventure tasting menu dinner at Matthew's Restaurant in the San Marco neighborhood (@dinematthews). I had no idea what the menu would be; we just sat back, relaxed, enjoyed each other's company, and let the chef and staff take care of us for a couple of hours. This menu took us on a wonderful journey through land and sea, sweet and savory. From service to final presentation, everything was thoughtful and intentional; each course building on the previous. Early courses were light and delicate, middle courses dove into the deep end of umami, until finally, a sweet finish. So without further adieu, the six courses: 1. Crispy Jasmine rice crisp topped with crab salad, tomato jam, and lemon vinaigrette 2. U8 Maine diver scallop, green apple sphere, chestnut Velouté, maple syrup drizzle 3. Mafaldine house-made pasta with anchovy brown butter sauce, chanterelle mushrooms, and Parmesan Reggiano cheese (my favorite of the courses) 4. Lamb confit, white bean cassoulet with Iberico pork, lamb jus, roasted sunchoke and carrots, watercress 5. Triple cream goat cheese, cranberry artichoke compote 6. Cinnamon roll bread pudding with caramel sauce and chantilly cream If you've never experienced a multi-course tasting menu, I would highly recommend Matthew's

    Foie gras yum!!!

    Unbelievably delicious! First time in Jacksonville, this place was recommended, and it did not disappoint. Steak tartare, Branzino just wowww!!! If you are in the area definitely need to try. Service was amazing as well.

    Roasted Beet Salad and Snow Crab Salad

    Had our anniversary dinner here. Overall the service and food were pretty great. Started off with a customized menu that we got to keep at the end of the evening. Started off with the roasted beet salad and the snow crab salad. The beet salad wasn't too special but the crab salad was amazing. Great crab chunks! The second course was the charred eggplant that was charred perfectly. For the entree, I ordered the Fish of the evening which was a sea bass. My SO ordered the Veal chop. The sea bass had an edge on the chop. The fish was soft and flakey and we paired it with caviar. The perfect bite was the fish, puree, broccolini and a bit of caviar on top. The chop was cooked well but could do without the jam topping. We also had a side of the Brussel sprouts which was crispy and delicious. We ended the evening with their soufflé. Pretty good but not the best I've had. The restaurant is quaint and intimate with an open kitchen. I enjoyed watching the magic happen. There's also a bar out front which has a separate menu and I believe they have happy hour.

    I have nothing at all but the highest remarks when it comes to Matthews. We sat at the chefs table and had an amazing time. It was quite the experience. We watched the food being prepped. The cooks in the kitchen explained several of the dishes to us. We were treated to extra bites (sample tasting). The food was amazing. The portions were perfect for all the courses we received with our order. While this isn't your every night out spot as it is quite $$$. It's definitely a place to come celebrate a special night, spend a pretty penny, but leave happy and satisfied.

    This has got to be one of the most fulfilling experiences. It was our anniversary and we decided to try the 6 course tasting plus wine pairing. All courses were delicious and surprised my taste buds. The flavors combined exceeded my expectations. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. We have already considered making ritual visits. The tasting offers new dishes each time, which I look forward to exploring and enjoying. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely. Very classy & upscale. The event created a special menu which highlighted our anniversary. If you ever get a chance, you should definitely visit. Also you should dress nicely.

    When we arrived we were immediately greeted with a very polite staff member and served chilled water. We opted to sit in the bar and Joshua served us. He was very busy, but did not hesitate to give us fantastic service. We came just for the caviar and followed his suggestions. The scallops were amazing and perfectly served. Loved how the tuna was curated, so tasty. All our dishes were great and worth every penny. The bar are does get busy at HH but it's a beautiful space.

    Took my best friend here for a Galentine's Day dinner and so glad we did! The atmosphere was so…read moresheek, chic, and lovely. We were seated immediately and our waitress was such a doll! She made sure to check up on us, answered all of our questions, and refilled our drinks often. It was super clean there too! We were started off with some fresh, warm bread and a balsamic/olive oil dipping sauce. The bread was perfectly crispy and went so well with the dipping sauce. We were served cold bread before at restaurant so I'm glad we had warm bread! We decided on the following appetizer and entrees: Fried meat ravioli - 8/10: it came out piping hot and it was so delicious! Fried to a nice, golden brown and covered in panko crumbs, it didn't feel heavy at all. It came with a fresh marinara sauce and had parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of the fried ravioli. Each bite was cheesy, crispy, tasty, meaty, and we devoured it quickly! Carbonara Alla Roma - 8.5/10: I thought the portion would be small since I seen photos online but it was actually a great portion. I had enough to take home and eat as leftovers! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the alfredo sauce was balanced and decadent. I could taste the pecorino romano, and cracked black pepper. The pancetta was smoky and added a nice umami flavor to the pasta. I didn't rate it higher because it was slightly missing a little bit of of that BAM factor! but it was pretty delicious! The Sofi - chicken - 9/10: Oh my gosh! My best friend got this and I wished I would have too! It was sooooooooooooooooooo good! It had prosciutto di parma, mushrooms, asparagus, shallots, cooked in wine and tossed in a rose cream sauce. The pasta was also cooked perfectly and that sauce was to die for! Each bite was like tasting the finest flavors and spices of Italy. I could not believe how tasty this was! If you come here, you HAVE to try this dish! Tiramisu - 9.5/10: One of the best tiramisus we've had in Jacksonville. It was the perfect amount of espresso and cream. They had dollops of chocolate sauce on the side and helped elevated the flavor of the tiramisu. It also wasn't super sweet which we appreciate. We don't really like overly sweet desserts and this one hits the mark on everything. Overall, service, food, and atmosphere was great! We would definitely come back to try other menu items! Thank you for such a great first experience, Sofi's!

We initially asked for indoor seating, but after seeing how cozy the space was, we happily switched to outdoor seating since the weather was perfect. We ordered two of each oyster, and they were fresh, salty, and incredibly smooth. We also decided to try the baked oysters--something my husband doesn't usually go for--but they ended up being his favorite. So much so that we ordered another round. Overall, it was a fantastic night and a great experience. We'll definitely be back.

    In the early 80s, when video games were all the rage, I remember hearing about a song about a video…read moregame. Like any good kid back then wanting to hear a particular song, I listened to my FM radio nonstop, waiting patiently to hear this crazy song called "Pac-Man Fever!" Sadly I don't ever recall actually hearing it on my favorite station. Hearing about new things is much easier now. Social media and the internet overwhelm me with what the algorithms think I want to see and learn about. And most of the time those crazy programs and their internet overlords are spot on! Take, for instance, a rather new restaurant in San Marco focusing on seafood. Shellfish and caviar to be specific. A few months ago all of my feeds were filled with information about a new place in town - Brine. Obviously, my wife and I, loving all things related with food, knew that we needed to try it. Well, today was that day. First, know that the parking lot is down a dead end street that looks spooky. Keep going. I didn't and ended up parking in the larger lot where La Napolera is located. The restaurant is tiny. Our server told us that the space was used to sell smoothies. Or perhaps it was a phone booth. Regardless it's intimate. And the food is fantastic! Colette our server was fantastic. Bubbly, helpful and definitely gave off the vibe that she was happy to be there, helping us enjoy our meal. She was great and I can't say enough good things about her. We opted to try the tasting menu. It's an option when you book online. We also chose to sit at the counter. An island of 4 seats that look at the other diners sitting at the tables inside. It's odd and Colette told us that the owners were planning on building an expanded space in the near future. The tasting menu is a seven course meal. If desired, you can choose to add a wine pairing. We got one wine pairing that we split - it was more than enough and the Brine folks were kind enough to put the wine into two glasses. As for the courses we had for our meal? Course 1 Champagne PEI oysters Each oyster included a different topping. There was butter. And chorizo. And caviar. Each was delicious and very different. A perfect way to start the meal. The champagne was also a great. Course 2 Riesling Yellow tail (hamachi) crudo with pineapple. The pineapple was prepared three ways. And while the wine was very dry and minerally (is that a word?) it worked PERFECTLY with the sweetness of the pineapple. To me this pairing worked the best. Course 3 Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand Tuna tartar with aioli on a fried panko crusted seaweed cracker. The tuna flavor was delicate and worked well on top of the seaweed cracker. Again, the wine worked very well with the flavors of the fish. Course 4 Chanin blanc Salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, vinaigrette and butter and mashed potato and potato crisps. Lettuce and mashed potatoes? I don't know how. I don't know why. But it works. Really, really well. They're like mad scientists at Brine and they may be building a monster out of body parts. But darn it the potato/salad combo was fantastic! Course 5 Oaked Chardonnay Lobster cannelloni This was probably my favorite dish. The lobster filling was awesome and I literally wanted to fill a cup with the sauce and drink it through a straw. If you're not going to try the tasting menu I would highly recommend this for an entree. Course 6 Waygu shortrib and scallops and parsnips Ochetti langhe nebbiolo The scallops are sliced thin, which I liked a lot. The shortrib was good. I like parsnip, but I felt that its flavor overshadowed the flavors of the beef and the scallop. It's a tasty dish, but wasn't my favorite. Course 7 Cheesecake bread pudding with bourbon ice cream Chocolate pearls chocolate marscapone orange chocolate cake Solera 1847 Creme dulce Sherry Colette brought us two different desserts to try instead of each of us having the same. Both were fantastic. I think I liked the chocolate cake one more while my wife really enjoyed the cheesecake. The sherry was fine but didn't really add anything to the desserts. Course 8 (extra) Sugar cookie with vanilla ice cream and caviar. This was an extra treat that they brought. A cookie ice cream sandwich with caviar on it. Again, why does it work? I don't get it! But it was super tasty. We were both really full by this point but ate it all! Each course isn't a huge, but by the end we were stuffed. And splitting the wine was a good way let us drive home! The tasting menu is a great way to try Brine and the many of the flavor combinations they're putting together. It's not an inexpensive meal. But we knew that going in. The cost may turn some people off, but this was a fantastic meal with some wonderful staff. I don't play video games too much anymore. And I don't remember the Pac Man song. But I love food, and I know that if you do as well you'll love Brine!

    We had brunch at a place we've been meaning to go to for a long time: Prospect Five Points. They're…read morejust south of the heart of Five Points on the east side of Margaret Street. I ordered the Short Rib Hash Bowl without tomatoes. My only critique was that I could've used a little more short rib and a little less potatoes but I liked everything else about it. The onions brought a sweetness to it that was really unique and I REALLY liked the seasoning that was on the huge pieces of toast with it. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito, which I could've called from before we even walked in. If a place had a breakfast burrito, she's gonna order it. This one was great. There was a lot of good flavor packed into that tortilla. She especially liked the chili sauce on top. It had a little kick that elevated the whole thing. We both liked the environment and our server was very nice. We would come back for sure to try other things or just to hang out at the big outdoor bar at the front.

    Prospect is typically a 5 star experience. I've been frequenting there since I moved to Riverside…read moreand I still let people know that it's one of the best brunch and Happy Hour experiences in the area. We went this past Friday and while they had the same great food (with one exception), same decor and vibe, it seemed as if the typically impeccable service was staring to slip. The staff was in a great mood, seemed to be having a party and maybe that was some of the issue. Drinks not filled, food brought out a different points when we asked for it to be brought together etc. One of the guests requested their sauce on the side and it came right on top of her cold steak. We had to constantly grab anyone who worked there to get help and get served or drink refills. Very atypical of Prospect. I'm reviewing again to be constructive. I still love Prospect and I need them to be the excellent experience they have always been. I'm truly hoping this was a one off afternoon.

    If you're looking for a spot that perfectly blends great drinks, good vibes, and a little bit of…read moremagic look no further than Juice . I stopped by during one of their vinyl events and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. First things first... the Pink Pony Club cocktail WOW. It was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. Not too strong, not too sweet... just right. The kind of drink that makes you immediately consider ordering a second (or third ). At some point my stomach reminded me that it is requiring fuel, so I ordered one of their gourmet glizzys and went with the Chicago Glizzy. Let me tell you... absolutely amazing. Bold, delicious, and somehow both indulgent and elevated at the same time. The overall vibe is what truly makes this place special. The patio, glowing with soft lights, feels like the perfect place to unwind under the stars , while the indoor space gives off a cozy library-meets-speakeasy feel that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The crowd was warm and welcoming, the energy was positive, and the staff were friendly with excellent service from start to finish. Bonus highlight: I even met a new friend while I was there always a sign you've found a great spot . I'm already looking forward to my next visit so I can spend even more time soaking it all in. Highly recommend if you want good drinks, great food, and unforgettable vibes .

    Really unique space in spring field area. Lots of couches around or you can sit at the bar. Also…read morehave a cute patio in the back! The menu is via QR code that takes you to their website and you can find wines, cocktails (with wine) and some beers. I tried the wine flight (Riesling, Cab Sav and an employees choice) which was delicious and a great way to try multiple options to find what you like. Also tried the frozen strawberry frozen marg which I unfortunately did not enjoy. It didn't have a lot of strawberry flavor, it tastes more like cherry medicine. Do want to mention that when it gets busy, it may be hard to find parking and the area is pretty sketchy (I didn't feel safe parking far and having to walk over. One time a homeless guy was yelling at me when I was walking on the sidewalk), so just be mindful and careful if you do park far and having to walk.
