To begin the service was amazing from the greeting we received at the door. We told the waitress we had a show to go and she timed everything appropriately Every dish was delicious. I had a salad with lobster on it and my husband had the shrimp lobster deal. The spaghetti was Ted and the sauce tasty..

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.

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.

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.

Lobster Benedict - Two lobster eggs Benedict dishes with hollandaise sauce and dill garnish are served on a dark plate, with coffee and water in the background.

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.

R&P Burger with Fries

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 & Post Riverside, Jax, FL R&P Burger with House Fries

Everything' is amazing $3 Mimosas Bread Pudding to die for Lemon Ricotta Pancakes reminded me of Sicily and their sweet lemon curd. Eggs Benedict made perfect Fish Tacos so crunchy and delicious R &P even has a roof top bar with live music This is where you can bring a date or hang out with your girlfriends. It truly is special and has ample parking. Best service ever.

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.

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.

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.

Tasty lunch on the patio. I decided to treat myself with a dreamcicle mocktail that gave me Orange Julius vibes. And enjoyed my lobster roll with good helping of meat and with my side of drawn butter request made it a great bite. The fries were also thick cut and nice balance of crisp and soft. Definitely left happy

The R&P burger is amazing and the fries were extra crispy. Vibes are great for an elevated chill night.

Looking for a place to get a late-night drink, dessert, or light bite? Look no more...here it is!…read more Awesome find! Upfront, the St. Johns Provision Lounge should not be confused with the St. Johns Provision Co., which is a restaurant. They are in separate places within the Doubletree hotel: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/jaxjrdt-doubletree-jacksonville-riverfront/dining/ I went with a group of ladies on the River Taxi Sunset & City Lights tour (and no, that is not affiliated with this place). When we were done everyone wanted something...a drink, a dessert, a cup of coffee, a light bite, whatever. But there isn't much in this area...so we wandered into the Doubletree Hotel to ask what was around and VIOLA...we stumbled upon this place located in the lobby! This is a bar with some larger high-top tables. The menu is limited, as it normally is for a bar, but suitable for a late-night "anything". Our waiter, Hunter, was a one-man show and quite accommodating. Upfront Hunter informed us of what they were out of since it was so late...we understood and took what we could get! We were happy just to find a place to sit, relax, get something wet (a drink of some sort), and enjoy social time with friends. The bar started to fill up with others "looking" for something open and what a great crowd it turned out to be. No one knew each other but we laughed, talked, exchanged "where-froms", etc. What fun! It is nice to know this place exists! The vibe is pretty chill and groovy! I plan to go back during the day when they have more available on the menu. I'm just so happy I now know of this place. Woot! Hunter...Thank you for just being you! Note: There is a paid parking lot beside the hotel.

First time in Jacksonville, found this place. Went online there website. It said there was no cover…read morecharge for Sunday March 22. So I drove over an hour to go. Thinking I'll see what's it all about. I walk in then told it's 10 dollars per person for cover. I showed the flyer and he said it's because of the pageant. Not anywhere on the website said anything about that nor there Facebook. After having to talk to the owner she returned my money. That's after I had to talk to two different ppl. Then I go to the bar. Drinks were suppose to be 4.25 for well after 10pm. I wasn't thinking because of the hoops I had to go through to get the cover charge back. I order 2 drinks so 8.50. I gave her a 20 she gives me 6.50 back. I tip her two dollars and then after like 20 mins I think to myself she charged me 7 dollars each drink. Im sorry but just that im not a local doesn't mean you can extort me to paying more. This is not how you get new customers. I warn you if you go here make sure you're being charged right.

InCahoots Nightclub was so amazing to go back to as I had not been back since it was 3-D. Just Wow,…read morethis place is entirely upgraded and while it has been for many years the Queen Bartender of InCahoots is named Kathy. Kathy is everything we met her at the bar and stayed because of her energy and her amazing conversations with us. This is the place that no matter how busy they get they still check in on you it's great energy great history, fun filthy and fabulous. I am so glad you kept your natural tree that was sprouting out of you since the late 90s. And I'm happy to see that 3-D you's all grown up now and are one lucky b!
