Had a nice lunch out at Wicked Barley Brewing Company - Jacksonville, FL today to kickoff and enjoy…read moretheir Reggae Sunday season. My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.

The ramen wasn't on the menu but the server said they had it. I wish I could say I loved it because I wanted it so bad but it was saltier than the Atlantic. I couldn't get halfway through it.

When we arrived we checked in for our reservation and even though we got here early, they were able to seat us. Since we were early we were able to order one cocktail on happy hour. I will say, I understand they want to have craft distilleries or alcohol, I wish they would have some of the bigger brands of alcohol. Some of the smaller brands just don't taste the same. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I believe his name was John. He let us know that they just launched this menu. We were a little bummed bc we were looking forward to the strip steak with Bernaise sauce. We started with the fig pizza , meatballs, and bread. Word to the wise because they have an open kitchen, if you run hot be sure to dress appropriately. It gets pretty warm in there. The pizza was delicious. I loved the combo of blue cheese and sweet figs. The meatballs were flavorful and the sauce was really good. I liked the bread plate, just wish there were more dipping options. For dinner we all ordered the strip with the truffle fries and the peppercorn sauce. We really enjoyed the steak, but I liked the one with bernaise better. The steaks were all cooked to our liking. They knew it was my sister's birthday, so they brought out their ice cream with olive oil and sea salt. It's different but super delicious. We will back!

A little bit loud so beware if you're looking for intimate conversation you may have to yell a little lol. I had the lasagna. This was my plan B. It was pretty good but I only got it in my devastation that they were out of aglio olio. Also the lasagna was enormous! But another extra bummer.... They were also out of the ravioli (which is what my dinner companion wanted). However both our meals and the service were good enough to still try to go back to try our original cravings! We also did try the garlic Parmesan breadsticks as an app. Pretty good. But so much bread. My own fault for eating more than one lol

Ever get very excited when you finally get back to a place you haven't been in a while? That's how…read morewe were when we finally went back to Picasso's last night. They're located at 10503 San Jose Blvd over in Mandarin. It was a night of firsts! We had an appetizer we've never had before, then we both ordered things we've never had before. We started with the St. Louis Ravioli, which was great. Don't be intimidated by the size on the photo, they just puff up a LOT. Many people have raved about the steak at Picasso's so I finally ordered it last night. Their special was Prime New York Strip and holy cow, it was a big steak! I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Every single one of you who were raving about the steak were not lying. It was seasoned well, juicy & tender...just excellent. My wife tried their Meatball Madness pizza, which she ordered St. Louis Style. She'd never tried that style of pizza before and she really liked it. It's a very thin crust pizza, cut into squares. She REALLY liked the meatballs to the point where she kept saying that the next time we come back, she wants to try their spaghetti & meatballs. We got there right at 4:30 when they open for dinner and they were packed almost instantly. It's worth noting that our server Kelsie was fantastic through the whole meal. One nice touch was that she took our leftovers, boxed them up and brought them back to us. That may not seem like a huge thing but it's a little touch we always like.

Our server was not very friendly from the beginning, refused to switch table for us, which was fine. But then she disappeared and did not refill out waters, we were so thirsty. The calamari was good, but a bit over fried and dried. Truffle fries were the star of the night. Crispy and delicious! The charcuterie cheese board was so so.. over priced for dried stale cheese. We also found a spider web in our charcuterie's board grapes, she said it was just paper and took it back to the kitchen. It was gross! She overcharged my friend for her wine, for not using the right name on the happy hour menu. I left feeling hostile from the experience! Not sure if I would want to come back...
