My wife ordered the spaghetti squash casserole with tofu and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the seasonal market salad along with a cup of autumn squash soup.

We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful food!

We shared the appetizer platter and the picada, and both truly hit the spot, great portions and perfect for sharing. The empanadas are always fresh, and you can tell everything is made with care.

We started with the cheese and charcuterie board, which had a nice variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, peppers, and crisp bread. It was perfect for sharing while we looked over the menu. I ordered the Frutti de Mare, and it was delicious. The linguine came with shrimp, mussels, clams, and market fish in a flavorful white-wine and seafood broth with tomatoes, garlic, shallots, lemon zest, and olive oil. The seafood tasted fresh, the pasta was well prepared, and the sauce brought everything together without overpowering the dish. It was a generous portion, so the ocean definitely showed up ready for dinner. Our table also ordered risotto, lasagna, and pizza, and every plate looked inviting. My Old Fashioned was also very good: smooth, balanced, and exactly the kind of drink I enjoy with a nice dinner. Good food, welcoming service, a lively atmosphere, and an evening we genuinely enjoyed.

Came here after shopping at Town Center for dinner with my friend. We waited for only about 10…read moreminutes after getting glasses of wine at the bar and sitting outside at the outdoor part, which was actually pleasant. We then got seated inside. The star of the show was definitely the mango sticky rice burrata. I really did not what this was gonna taste like because I had never heard of that combination before. But it was literally perfection. Such a great combination of savory and sweet, which our server Mary recommended to us. She was so sweet and on top of everything! We then shared Caesar salad and some pasta and they split it before giving it to us, which I always think it's such a nice touch and that was the perfect amount of food and everything was truly delicious. The spot is always a good elevated yet casual place to go, and I love it!

Some things aren't marked, so you don't know what you're looking at but still cool. No one here to walk you around or anything. It's just kinda like you're on your own when you walk in. I didn't eat in the restaurant so I'm not sure how the service is. Just came to look at the animals :) cool place. I'd come back.

We were in the area and early for an appointment so we stopped in here for a Diet Coke and snack…read more Very nice establishment. Music was perfect but soft enough to have a conversation. We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered. The answer to that was, there was a party ahead of us that ordered quite a few dishes, but we were served before them, SO the answer became apparent that the kitchen was slammed and we were fine with that! The cucumber dish was fantastic! The soup dumplings looked and tasted fresh and delicious. The one downer was only one dumpling had soup, but we poured the spicy sauce on them and that was great. Looking forward to trying new dishes I've never had before.

Cucumber salad, shrimp stuffed tofu, shrimp dumpling soup and roast pork fried rice. By far the best pork fried rice I've had in Jacksonville.

Very soothing background music that allows you to still think as you listen. Everything is prepared to order. Multiple visits now and not one disappointment. It's a must stop place.

This is a very honest review... my wife and I were very excited to come here since we have seen…read moremany stellar reviews. The location is great and the decor is quite beautiful and unique! The service was wonderful and cannot deny the hospitality of the owners and the servers. With all that being said I rely heavily on the food quality, taste and portions to determine my rating. The bread was delicious with the side of herb butter. The soup was very underwhelming with a light lemon taste but the rice and chicken was something that I expected more. I'm Filipino and reminded me of a Filipino lugaw. (A cheap food). The grape leaves were ok, but not to my taste. Felt like the filling could be more flavorful. The salad was delicious with very fresh flavors. The octopus was cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. With my entree, the lamb souvlaki was underwhelming at a price of $28.99. I would expect more than 6 pieces of lamb. The chicken dish reminded me of a Chicken Francese but with rice. Overall, a good experience but not a great one.

I visited Taco Way for the first time recently on a Tuesday to check it out. They have two kiosks…read moreat the counter that you order from. The 30% off code - LOVETACOS - is good on the entire menu on Taco Tuesdays. The deal & code are advertised on a window poster you'll notice as you walk up in addition to another poster advertising a great lunch deal available. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos (corn tortillas, lettuce, breaded fried shrimp, chipotle mayo, and cilantro) minus pico & they were great. The shrimp were freshly fried and steaming hot. I had to wait a bit because a large catering order was being finished as I arrived. The manager offered me a free Jarritos and apologized profusely for my wait. I took it as a good sign that their tacos are that popular plus it gave me time to enjoy the gorgeous murals by ARTBYJAE. I visited the Baymeadows location (open until 3am Fri/Sat & 1am Sun-Th) & they now have a second location on Parental Home Rd (open until 1am Fri/Sat & 11pm Sun-Th).

First time here and wanted some tacos. The neon lights on the front of the business are blinding…read moreand a bit much. We walked in and you immediately see the two kiosks to order. The floors were sticky and our shoes stuck to the floor. The women's restroom was out of order. The kiosks seem like a good idea but nobody there to ask questions or to get your drinks. If you can catch one of the two people working as they bring out orders you are lucky. The menus on the kiosks are pretty informative though and tell the ingredients for each item. Kiosk automatically adds 20% tip unless you change it. Considering you don't have any interaction with employees until they bring out your order other tipping options might apply. They cook to order which is nice except you don't get your drinks or your appetizers until it's your turn. There is a comment section to type no tomatoes or special instructions. Mine still came out with tomatoes but they promptly remade it for me. The food is pretty good. No complaints there other than having to remake one of my tacos. The chips and queso was pretty good. Chips were dusted with spices and served hot. We tried 6 different tacos and they were all very good. The tortillas were toasted on the grill which makes a big difference. You can get flour or corn tortillas. The chicken and steak were marinated before grilling and were big cubes and plentiful. The menu has a pretty big variety including a kids menu with chicken and fries. The last comment is their fountain machine for drinks. The coke tasted off. They may need to recalibrate it. Drinks are served in small clear throw away cups and the lids don't fit very well. Refills are hard to get. You have to wait for someone to come out of the back. If these small complaints don't bother you the food is very good.

A yoga studio / healthy living cafe for all seasons. How many times have you uttered that phrase…read morebefore? Zero, because Fresh Jax is literally one of a kind! The owners are passionate about their mission and so dang nice that you'll be on cloud nine after visiting the space. All of their food is organic and vegan; basically food that you can feel good about! No artificial preservatives, what you see is what you get. My recommendations are the Acai Berry Blast smoothie and the Bliss Bowl, which is spicy tofu deliciousness! I took my first ever yoga class at Fresh Jax. To be honest, I had no clue what I was in for. Afterwards, I felt as if I achieved nirvana. I felt calm and relaxed, almost to the point of a high-like state. For newbies like myself, Fresh Jax has my stamp of approval! Although, they do offer advanced classes for experienced yogis, too. Truly, an eye-opening experience. I need to push myself to come here more frequently, because I felt unstoppable after my initial sessions. It doesn't get better than great people behind a great product. Love this place!

From their variety of fresh organic food and smoothie selection, to their yoga classes. Each of their smoothie and food options are made from ingredients fresh from local farms. I had the opportunity to sample each of their smoothies, and all were delicious and healthy. Eating great food with no guilt, I'm sold! I also had the opportunity to attend one of their yoga classes. I've been to other yoga classes at other studios before, only to leave "not relaxed" I always felt as though it just wasn't a fit for me. Yoga a Fresh Jax was very different. This is the perfect place for those looking to do yoga for the first time. The studio has no mirrors and is a complete no judgement zone. It's a relaxed atmosphere where the instructor clearly explains each technique that's achievable on all levels. They offer a variety of classes from beginners, like myself, to more advanced for those that have been at it for years. Fresh Jax is the perfect place to begin your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
