It just seemed like THE place to try on this day. Of course, getting a pre-look at the menu on Yelp, I was pretty impressed with the offerings and found the pricing quite reasonable. So off we went! It's a nice sizable restaurant that focuses mainly on breakfasts and brunch-style food. It closes at 3 pm daily, so that's why you won't find dinners in the menu. Upon entry, the server who became assigned to our table kindly greeted us and provided incredibly good service throughout our visit. She gave a good assist on our meal and extras choices. The Cali Fresh Omelette caught my eye as it won over any type of biscuit and gravy meal I could have ordered this day. It has a wide mix of truly fresh veggies with feta. Created with a 4-egg blanket, it was loaded! No scrimping here! Same goes for my honey's meal. This was a 4-egg omelette called the Rocky Mountain Omelette. It came with ham, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and Monterey Jack cheese. Yes, it tasted amazing and was loaded like the Cali Fresh Omelette. You get to choose a couple of sides with your omelettes here too. I chose the hash with cheese with a biscuit and she chose the English muffin with the cheese grits. I'm not crazy about grits in general, but this cheese and grits combo is amazing! Don't be afraid to try it! I really feel all the staff here take pride in serving their customers. They know some customers who visit as it shows there are regulars who seem to stop in for meals often. There are three large monitors here that are used to show sports channels. You can come and watch games here on weekends - but remember! They close at 3 pm, so you may be bummed if your game is a cliffhanger! LOL! All in all, I really like this restaurant! Many thanks to Lexie our server, who also helped us have an amazing time on our first visit here. We'll be back! I still gotta try the biscuits and gravy!! Recommend: HIGH

I always order some of their healthier Mediterranean options like the bowl or hummus and they are presented really nicely, which is good. The only thing is there are so many flies in the shop and I know people are constantly going in and out, but it's kind of unsanitary feeling, but overall the food is good and it taste fresh so I can't complain on that front!

My companion had the beef kebab platter. He said it was some of the best beef he had ever had-very tender and flavorful and cooked to our specification. My my chicken platter was delicious and juicy. I loved the sauce that came for it to be dipped in. The hummus was incredibly smooth and tasty. This is my second visit to Cedar and Olive in a week. I went for the first time last week with my daughter for lunch, and we enjoyed the meal so much I knew I had to bring my best friend for dinner. The cool thing was that Pete, the son of the owner, remembered both mine and my daughter's names, as well as what soda I liked to drink! It was a very nice touch. I will definitely be going back to this family-owned restaurant to try even more things. I highly recommend you give this place a try.

Although it took some time to bag it all up, everything was ready when I arrived. We tried three sandwiches - kafta, chicken kebab, and falafel, along with two salad bowls - chicken kabab and kafta. I also got the Mediterranean sampler. I indulged in the Mediterranean sampler. The salads looked very fresh. I enjoyed the fattoush salad and the tabbouli salad. The pita bread was fresh and thin. Dipping it into the labneh was delightful. The baba ghanoush was also good, but the hummus had a very strange taste that was offputting. The falafel was OK, but it was a bit dry. The sandwiches seemed dry as well. I'm glad that I had a chance to visit Cedar and Olive. I enjoyed some of their appetizers and the pita bread. One highlight was watching the owner's mother stuffing grape leaves and offering to teach me how to do so. If only I had had more time!

For my main I got the Cajun pasta with steak and that was delicious!! They also give a lot of food and I even split it with my friend and still had some leftovers.

My companion ordered the poke bowl. It was decent. Everything was fresh, but beyond that, there wasn't anything exceptional about this dish. I had the grouper sandwich. Having lived in Florida for almost 30 years, I have become leery of the grouper... Is it really grouper? This sandwich was really good. I don't care if it was grouper or not (it definitely tasted like the real thing), it hit the spot. The fries were yummy too. Our server was kind and attentive and made us feel welcome. Drinks were generous. Cheers to the bartender.

We both agreed that the meal we shared was easily the best Italian food in Jacksonville. For starters, the amount of charm and elegance the owners were able to achieve in a strip mall of all places is impressive. Our reservation was for inside, but we would love to sit under their patio/canopy as the weather starts to cool down! The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but gorgeous nonetheless. Our server, Alana, was AMAZING!! She gave us complimentary champagne to celebrate my birthday dinner and put a candle in our dessert. She was very personable and gave us recommendations on each course upon request. Our drinks were never empty and there was not a single lull waiting for her to come back over. If you decide to go, ask for her! Now, the FOOD! For apps, we ordered the meatballs (Alana's recommendation) and the burrata (a must order for us at any Italian restaurant). The meatballs were full of flavor and tender but not mushy. I could drink the sauce if I'm being honest. The burrata was delicious with the bread and marinated tomato/onion mixture. Would recommend both of these to anyone! For our mains, I ordered the gnocchi arrabbiatta and my hubby ordered the pappardelle boscaiola with added ragu beef. Both were DELICIOUS! My gnocchi had a little bit of a kick, but nothing too overpowering. The beef in my husband's pasta was extremely tender and flavorful. Finally, for our dessert, we ordered the budino based on Alana's recommendation and it was AMAZING. Probably my favorite part of the meal. All in all, we had a 10/10 experience and will absolutely be back!

Awesome night at Mamasamas!…read more The food and the drinks were awesome. We started off with a drink at the bar since our table wasn't ready at the time of our reservation. We tried a version of a banana old fashioned and a beet margarita, and both drinks were well-crafted by bartender Troy. We sadly weren't seated for 40 minutes after our reservation time, but thankfully the vibe at the bar was a good one. Everyone there was nice. It would've been nice to have been acknowledged for the delay, but that didn't happen. That being said, once we got sat the food came out quickly. We tried the gnocchi arrabiata and the chicken involtine. The gnocchi was soft and the sauce was extremely tasty, and was the clear winner. We will definitely be back to try more of the pasta dishes! Overall, solid experience and good food. We will definitely be back, but consider just eating at the bar if the night is busy and you manage to get a seat there.

The arepas were also very loaded- though I do wish they'd give you a bit more chimichuri sauce to add some extra flavor. I got the fancy monkey, which filled me up & gave me leftovers, but overall it lacked much flavor depth or contrast. Also price-wise, $8 for mango juice was a little top dollar for me. But overall, this place was good for a filling lunch. Also as a sidenote (no points off tho cause it's not that deep) but the paintings on the inside are almost definitely ai prints, which is a jarring contrast to the stunning mural on the outside of the building.

Also had a Caesar salad which wasn't your typical salad but was so good. We had a couple of beers, I'm not a huge beer drinker so I can't remember the names. I did enjoy them though. One was a sour.
