Everything was amazing - food, service, and ambiance. We were there for Sunday brunch. I got the Bread Pudding French Toast and my husband got the Lobster Eggs Benedict. Both were delicious and the presentations were impressive. Our server was Brett S. and he was top notch. So accommodating. Would definitely go back again. read more

Wonderful lunch at River & Post with great service and delicious food... as expected. Our waiter Zack was very attentive and made sure our glasses were full the entire time. One of our meals wasn't exactly what we had hoped and he exchanged it quickly and without complaint to something delicious. We also got desserts to take home and they did not disappoint! It's such a great place to come. It's very relaxing, great location, particularly the views from the rooftop. It may be a little bit pricey, but once in a while, it's a fun thing to treat yourself. read more

Honestly i can say this has been one of the best restaurants i have been to here in Jax. They have amazing service and great wine. The staff was very attentive, from the host, to the person that brings us water, to our server, there was also a lady in a dress shirt (maybe the manager?) but all of them checked on us, without overwhelming us. We had a great time here. You get what you pay for a 100%! The food was chefs kiss! From my crispy salmon, to my in laws filet mignon cooked to PERFECTION, to my husbands favorite shrimp and grits, everything was amazing. The smoked fish dip and calamari was also a hit for us. We will be back soon! We loved it here. read more

4.6 // wedge salad & fried chicken & pork chop & chocolate mousse the service was perfect isabella was perfect! i love you isabella i like how she called me my love it made me very happy. the ambiance was good, the interior design was great and there was thiS AWESOME paitning of a bunch of bulls. yes. keep this forever. a glaring problem, however: the seating. even though the entire restaurant was empty people were sat at a table less than a foot adjacent to us- awkward! we couldnt talk without hearing eachothers conversations. the porkchop was kind of perfect preston says, but he didnt really love the yellow rice- it didnt pair as well as the lardons or collard greens did. everything was perfect though lowkey, no complaints it was fucking good as fuck. the chicken was very good. lowkey no comentary or complaints because i loved it. the onions on the wedge salad were useless. but they made it avoidable which was good. i loved everything else about it. wish it had olives! but thats all. the mousse, in my opinion was the lowest part of the meal. but still good! just didn't like the consistency. that's all. probably wouldn't come back because we're not balling:( but when we're rich yea yes worth the money go for it! read more

I gave 4 stars because the drinks need work. But the food and service was wonderful!! I love e restaurants that can give me the dull dining experience. Good food, dri is and service because I understand you pay for what you get. That being said, they had the best porkchops I've ever tasted. It was seasoned to the bone and I don't really eat pork but everyone raved about them so I gave it a try and mannnn. Thats all I think about now. My daughter had the steak which she devoured and my husband had chicken which was ok. But those chops!? Off the chain. Now for the drinks..I order two different ones and gave up hope, they need a mixologist to get that 5 star and I know they can do it. Service was superb, ambiance and cleanliness I will be back!! read more

Made reservations about a week in advance because it was Mother's Day weekend, prom season, and grad season. Free parking in the parking lot (though it gets fairly full). I enjoyed the food; however, I think some details were missing or off for the price point. For example, the rib eye was requested for medium temp; however, it was medium rare and very chewy. The broiled ocean platter was kind of skimpy for the price point, and the shrimp & lobster diavolo were pretty good (though lobster wasn't very tender and slightly rubbery). I also wasn't given a pasta spoon- so had slight difficulty eating it. It took quite a while for us to get our food, approx 45 minutes? Our waitress was very kind and checked in- but forgot the lemons I had asked for- for the waters. We had inputted in our reservation request to not be in the center- and we were sat in the middle; though, 80% of the tables were empty. So, all in all, it was good but for the price point, I had higher expectations. read more

Crystal is a fantastic server. Portions were HUGE. Had to take a lot of foid home because of the portion size. Enjoyed the vegan burger which seemed like mostly beets and black beans. Didnt mind that it fell apart while i ate it, because that's what homemade vegan burgers usually do. But dont order this messy item on a date. I held the sauce. They let me sub a HUGE side salad for the fries. Enjoyed the vanilla ice cream a lot but not the apple tart. The tart was 90 or 95% cinnamon bun and i could hardly find apples. Fruit tarts are usually more fruit than crust; thats what i expected. Apple cinnamon bun eould be a better description. Beautiful ambience indoors. Lots of parking behind the restaurant at 4 PM on a Friday. read more

The food is good although not consistent. The hostess is very rude. The shrimp basket here is really good, at least most of the time. I've had it a few times, every now and then the shrimp is undercooked. But the breading is really excellent and I appreciate their using jumbo shrimp. The risotto is not a proper risotto and seafood pasta is too sweet. The calamari and the mussels appetizers are excellent. We came on fourth of july with a reservation, checked in, moved to the side waiting for our table, and watched the hostess (the lead hostess - the one covered in glitter) make fun of the name our reservation was under with one of the bus boys while they thought we werent listening. It was very rude and unpleasant. I understand that this place hires very young adults, but at these prices they need to train better. read more

Had an amazing brunch catching up with friends. The rooftop views are excellent and our server Devin was awesome. She was quick, thorough and checked on us at good frequencies. We only had drinks upstairs but they were lovely. I had the Manifestation and it was simply refreshing. Went downstairs and had A LOT of brunch lol I started off with the shrimp and grits. It was creamy and warm and brought a huge smile to my face. Shrimp were cooked nicely and they were super plump. Next I tried the lobster Benedict and that was amazingly delicious as well. I ordered a lobster Louie salad to go and it held up nicely. The combination of the two dressings definitely has this on my repeat salad go-to list. read more

I'm glad that River & Post exists. The rooftop is a visual delight and the bartenders are always attentive and friendly. They make a proper spicy margarita! Downstairs, there is a ceviche du jour that has consisted of shrimp exclusively on each of my visits. I'm determined to catch a variation. It's served with plantain chips and is visually delightful. Their fried shrimp are fresh and crispy-juicy. read more

Customer lunch and he picked the spot. Great choice. I had the seared tuna salad as prepped, Brian had the French Dip and Aveleo had the fish of the day tacos which looked absolutely amazing. He also got the grilled veggies which made me so envious. Place was absolutely covered up. Packed house. Our server was great even with the unexpected rush. Love the location and parking was across the street as well around back. Nice place upscale interior with great looking wine list. read more

River and Post is one of those places in Jacksonville that you just have to try if you're ever in the area. It's an amazing two-story venue that has the full service restaurant on bottom and a rooftop bar with an abbreviated menu on top. The food and atmosphere are amazing and you definitely feel like you are at one of the most in demand Restaurants in town. During my last visit, I had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. The thing I loved most is that they didn't skip you on the shrimp! They were large and flavorful. I also added a few biscuits just to try, but to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of those. For me this place is a four out of five and you would be hard pressed to have a bad experience here. read more

Went for brunch and had a great time. Ordered the sangria and another drink that I can't recall right now but it came with a blackberry garnish. My husband loved it so much he got a second drink. The food menu was definitely unique with menu pairings I haven't seen before. I got the chicken and ginger waffles with relish. I wasn't sure of how the flavors would or together but I still wanted to try. I'd give it a 7.5/10. The waffles had the slightest hint of ginger and was served with a mint infused syrup. The bacon on my husband's bread pudding French toast tasted delightful. The French toast was perfectly moist with and fluffy. read more

I'm in town for a friends birthday and she chose this for brunch. Overall, I would come back and try some of the other menu items. Ambiance: great bar, good length seating, and accommodations for large crowds. The servers were all extremely welcoming as soon as we arrived Drinks: we ordered several different alcoholic brunch items- Mimosas, sangrias, and a mixed drink. They were flat, same drinks looked and tasted different and consistency is important to me Food: I had the lobster Benedict which had amazing lobster portions- it needed a little seasoning but the elements were there. I skimmed a friends lemon ricotta pancakes and that was recommended by the waiter- it was so delicious and I would go back for More of that. read more

A group of friends and I ate here last night before going to the T-Pain concert as River and Post has some of the best views and vibes in downtown Jax. Our server Owen was so cute and amazing! She really set the tone with her big smile and personality. I ordered an espresso martini that was strong but so tasty. For my dinner, I got the seared filet mignon medium with mashed potatoes, and asparagus with the bone marrow butter. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. I didn't need steak sauce with this as it just melted in your mouth. The mashed potatoes were seasoned and the Bordelaise sauce that was on top was a nice red wine reduction sauce that was rich and smooth. Everything was so good here last night! Although the weather wasn't the best, we still had to go up to the rooftop and see the view. Love this spot for brunch and day drinking but now, I'll have to add dinner to that now. read more

We hosted an event at River & Post's rooftop, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The venue knew the rooftop enclosure was not working but never informed us or provided a backup plan. After the rain, I had to wipe down tables and chairs myself while guests were left walking on a wet, slippery floor. The buffet food was not kept warm, and guests paid for drinks they never received. When I raised these concerns, management was dismissive and argumentative rather than focused on resolving them. I was even called "volatile" for expressing my frustration. The billing was also extremely concerning. We were told we would not be charged for the food and would only be responsible for actual beverage consumption, which our records show was approximately $1,100. Instead, we were charged $3,000 and given an explanation involving a divided minimum that did not match what we were told beforehand. Most concerning, our group was primarily black and brown, professional lesbian women, and the way we were treated left us feeling that our clientele and the nature of our event played a role. I sincerely hope that wasn't the case, but that is how the experience felt. I understand that weather happens. What I don't understand is the lack of preparation, communication, professionalism, and accountability that followed. We came to celebrate, and instead I spent the evening managing problems that should have been handled by the venue. I would not recommend River & Post for private events. read more

ROOFTOP BAR REVIEW / LOCAL-ISH* REVIEW: River & Post offers both a ground level restaurant and a rooftop bar overlooking the St. Johns River, a great location in the Avondale historic district. And good news, the building has its own parking lot! You can find some street parking, but it was very easy to park in the lot behind the building. At a first glance though, it feels like you're parking at an apartment. I visited with my mom and younger sister. We opted for the rooftop bar which is first come, first serve. As a mother-daughter group, we were pleased to see a diverse group of age ranges among the other guests. It makes it clear, all are welcome. The views were gorgeous. This would be a great place to bring friends as they had large booths. We sat at a 4-top that was perfect for us. And who can resist the aesthetic charm of a plant wall with a neon sign? The rooftop menu is different than the ground-level restaurant, but there was plenty to choose from. We ordered the pulled pork nachos which were tasty. We had never had cucumber on nachos, but we thought it added a fresh crunch! We also got a pizza which smelled so amazing that we dug right in and I forgot to take a photo... it was around a $20 pizza and between the 3 of us, we were able to take home leftovers. Our favorite was definitely the Nuts and Berries which may have been a seasonal drink. It was a dessert cocktail and it was deliciously sweet. Prices ranged $13+ for the cocktails which I think is typical of a trendy location. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in Jacksonville! *By Local-Ish, I do not reside in Jacksonville. But I visit frequently due to friends and family that live there. read more

My wife and I came here on date night and had an amazing experience. We were kind of confused about the whole rooftop part, thinking it was drinks only. So we sat at the bar in the restaurant part and had two very friendly bartenders. It seemed as if all their food was homemade or made in house.. it was so damn delicious! After eating we headed upstairs to check out the rooftop. (you can bring your drinks from the restaurant to the rooftop) Once we got up there the view was amazing! We also found out the rooftop does serve food and it's a different type of menu.. different appetizers and different entrees. We will definitely be going back here again and next time going to the rooftop to eat! read more

Had to come on here and shoutout River & Post because they have consistently been one of my favorite dinner spots to take guests! Literally off of River and Post in Riverside, this restaurant is not only great for a rooftop view (and pre-dinner cocktail) but has a broad dinner menu that will appeal to everyone. I always, yes always, start out at the rooftop lounge/bar. While the drinks are fantastic, I'd stay away from the appetizers (cheese plate was not impressive to us). After you've enjoyed the view and when you're ready for food, head downstairs to grab a table in the restaurant. Both inside and outside offer plenty of tables, and those of us who are cold bodied do not need to worry... there are heat lamps! This visit I went very basic with the R&P burger with fries. I'm sure most everyone in the Scoop has tried plenty of burger, but when I tell you this was the best cooked medium burger I have EVER had served to me, I am not lying. We were shocked as how perfect it came out. Cooked to a perfect medium and complimented with the best style of salted fries (house fries). My only regret is that I did not take a photo of the burger patty for you all to see. And side note, you do need to try these fries because they were seasoned so well and balanced out the burger just as this combination should. I honestly feel like this burger is a hidden gem because all of the other food is fantastic as well, but you have to give it a try!

River a Post...what can I say. It looks good on your Jax dining resume but was it really good? I would say no. A friend of mine raves about this restaurant but it left a lot to be desired in my opinion. I didn't hate but I also didn't love it. I didn't leave thinking about the next time. Great ambiance, rooftop was also nice, and zero complaints about the service. But as for taste it fell short. read more

I celebrated my 56TH Birthday surprise here! My 23 guests received the worst service of all times! They gave us the wrong or worse food! Either The food came out to us cold with no utensils for serving! The serving size and quality was NOT good! They have fried thighs, they were so hard and burnt and not cooked in the middle!!! Everything we requested on their menu wasn't available! Me the birthday girl ordered the ribs, well... the waitress told me they ran out! SMH Jade was our waitress...she was very honest & truthful to us! They had a pregnant waitress serving us by herself!!! Our drinks didn't get refilled!!!We ordered a hummus platter, they said we ordered the last one! They sat us at two tables advising us once we got there that they would accommodate the large party! When we arrived, they sat us in this VERY small room at two tables! We were early before I reserved time frames! We were very disappointed because they gave us false information!!! The room was a little dusty and dirty! FYI: It is NOT handicapped accessible!!!Everything we ordered the food was wrong and/or spicy, cold overcooked! When I advised her I couldn't eat spicy foods because of the cancer bout I survived!!! The food wasn't worth the money!!! I ONLY enjoyed the FAMILY fun!!! Thankfully! They would NOT seat us together but they charged us VERY high gratuities for each paying guests! This place is NOT spacious and clean! They are NOT very accommodating! We tried talking and getting the managers attention about all of the issues we were experiencing, she ignored me! There were two families in this VERY SMALL room in the restaurant! The room was so small if you were claustrophobic you probably would not make it out of there Alive! I do not recommend this place to celebrate nothing! The food was not fresh! everything I ordered, she advised they were out of it. How are they staying in business? Some of my guests ordered drinks and either they were too sweet or tasted weird! Nothing of this restaurant is saying River and Post! Definitely not the River because we couldn't see it ! It could be Post as I'm posting this review!!! LOL read more

The ambience is what would be expected from a downtown restaurant. It is a little loud inside though, so not as romantic as others. Our service was just OK as our waitress had a hard time with her timing and someone else had to get (20 minutes) our first cocktails. The food was good but not great and I felt a little pricey. I think we will go back. We want to check out the rooftop bar in this atmosphere is a little better for a good time. I still would pick a couple other restaurants downtown for a special evening. read more

River and Post features good food for brunch, great drink selections, and perhaps one of the best atmospheres of any restaurant in the Jacksonville area. The staff and service have always been stellar on our visits as well. This is a Riverside staple and a must visit if you're in the area. One of the better brunch experiences in the area. Only opportunity here is the price point. You are paying for that atmosphere and service and it's not outrageous by any means but some brunch dishes are better than others. I do highly recommend the Papas Bravas. read more

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my grandpa's 92nd birthday with my Virgo cousin. The service was excellent, and the food was cooked perfectly. I ordered the Crispy Salmon with honey-miso glaze, rice, edamame, and a ginger-carrot sauce, and it was delicious. My cousin chose the Dynamite Shrimp with asparagus, and my granddad ordered the same; I enjoyed mine as well. The hostess, Geneva (spelled with a "J"), provided outstanding service. For dessert, we shared the McAllister Sundae, which happens to be the name of the school I graduated from. read more

Celebrating my birthday here was one for the books. Our server was in the top tier I've ever had, which only added to our dinner. The appetizers of dynamite shrimp and fried goat cheese could have been the meal. But we pressed on for pork chop and scallops. Both were cooked to perfection and jammed with flavor that paired so well. We ended with the brownie sundae and a candle blowout for me. We retired to the rooftop bar for some adult beverages and jaw dropping views of the city and river. The weather cooperated and magnified the ambiance. Highly recommend coming here for date night and special occasions. read more
