Got some really cool seat (actually there wasn't a bad seat in the house). We lucked up and a band that we saw a few months ago at the Jazz Lounge was in the house (For the win!). In between sets they had a poetry showcase from local talent. It was very smooth and intimate. For snacks we had an order of wings and fries. The staff (who were the members of the Elk Lodge) were very hospitable and helpful. They hold these every 1st Friday here in Jax. It was really enjoyable.

Perusing the internet for events to put in my "must do" blog and to kick off my birthday month, I saw the Jazz Poetry café. I looked around at the website and mainly using the venue as my deciding factor because I'd been to it before for a different event. As I write this, let me say I did not stay until the end of the jazz event. Beautiful idea poorly executed. Right now, it seems like it may have started as a hit but has succumbed to lack of effort, consistency, and the idea of how much money can we get paid from filling seats. It's a beautiful idea and if it was the way their website describes it you would have a sold-out crowd, but the concept isn't in that room. Create the vibe you want using all 5 senses, hire people who know how to work a SOCIAL event and sell out the show. The event has tiered seating with 2 VIP options and then a couple general admission type seating options. The VIP tickets come with a catered meal. It has a very slow but good cash bar with a great set of options to choose from. It was not a bunch of cheap liquors and sugary drinks. Unsure if it's a bartender or a person working at a bar. The live band was okay for a quick Friday night out. I don't sing or play instruments, but it was not much to rave about. The music was extremely loud. Club bass booty shaking loud. Not comfortably order your food loud. The waiter had to be too close, or I yell and repeat myself. As an event with tiered seating I expected more from the "environment" because 1st impressions, right? The decor was subpar. In my professional opinion I think the ideas they had with decor were great just need to add a couple more dollars, maybe do some thrift store shopping, hit up YouTube and PRACTICE because I think it can be pulled off DIY but better. The noisy QR code menu and little boards can go though. Now on to the real deal and that is FOOD. We can have good entertainment and crappy food, or crappy entertainment and good food but not crappy entertainment and crappy food. It was a CATERED event that showcased the chef with a bio and picture, so I expected a meal. The options were a "creamy chicken etouffee" and a "creamy seafood etouffee" both with fettucine, garlic bread, spring mix salad, and fruit kabobs. I chose the chicken. I am unsure why all the extra words to say they put some frozen or precooked chicken, added mushrooms and I think onions with jar/canned sauce over HARD pasta noodles. It wasn't al dente it was just HARD like they cooked too many at a time or was in a rush and at the first droop they took them out the boil. The little garlic knot deal was ok, and I guess the choice was salad OR fruit. The salad was just a bag of spring mix, some barely chopped cucumbers and grape tomatoes thrown in a dessert cup. Pieces much larger than you use with the flimsy fork. I asked for 1000 island or ranch bc the waiter didn't know what they had, and I got back a mystery dressing seemed like a creamy vinaigrette of some sort or maybe Catalina. I ate the salad and tasted the "chicken etouffee". It was not one of those meals you can just endure because I am one of those ppl that would. The buildup of the menu was a shot in the foot. Even with all precooked store items a little bit of effort, taste testing for quality control, and proper cook times would've made that much difference. Chicken Alfredo is easy and a common favorite, so it was a smart and economical choice especially with a seafood option but missed the mark COMPLETELY. The food really killed it for me, but I had to leave after the unorganized talent show started. I knew it had an "open mic" factor, but it was an MC somewhere introducing people with little to no edification. It was similar to the person calling your name out from the karoake list but you're a regular, so they say a little extra about you. Some guy was too drunk to be on the microphone at all. An older gentleman started rambling off a piece he wrote while walking through the crowd like he was Luther Vandross. I will say the best part of the night was a young lady got up and she has a BEAUTIFUL voice, and I couldn't wait to follow her on social media to hear more of her singing. There were vendors there for whatever reason but over the music and how dark it was I didn't see much of what they had besides some hats. I didn't stay long enough for the lights to come on. All in all...THIS EVENT JUST NEEDS MORE EFFORT.

**Great Experience & Excellent Service!**…read more As a Cooper's Hawk Wine Club member from Virginia, I always enjoy visiting different locations when I travel. This location is fairly new since my last visit to the Jacksonville area, as I usually visit the Southside Town Center location. Heidi welcomed me and got my tasting started. She was warm, friendly, and very cordial. She later handed me off to Isaac, and he absolutely made my visit. Once I shared that I was a Wine Club member who simply wanted to relax and enjoy my tasting, he understood the assignment! He was attentive without hovering, kept my pours coming, and gave me the space to just chill--that was exactly my vibe. Isaac's customer service was genuine, effortless, and memorable. I left feeling relaxed, appreciated, and simply...nice. He truly sealed my trip to the 904! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Jacksonville area. Thank you, Heidi and especially Isaac, for making my visit such an enjoyable one!

We were excited to visit this spot that is both a cigar lounge and restaurant. They've been open 15…read moredays I overheard someone say and for that, I was giving them some grace. We were finally able to order after about 20 minutes (bartender was handling the bar and the lounge... both pretty empty). Entrees are a la cart fyi so some things can be pricey once you build a meal. Husband got the fried fish and fries, I got the lemon pepper wings and added mac & cheese and cornbread (they were out of greens which later I heard was a 2 hr wait for them to come out the pressure cooker). His fish was a 4.5/5 (deduction for finding several bones and needed more seasoning but he'd order again). I gave my wings a 4 and would get again, he said a 3 and he wouldn't get lemon pepper bc there wasn't enough seasoning. The late night menu left a lot to be desired. $8 for tiny philly eggrolls and $7+ for 5 shrimp or $4 for a tiny basket of fries wasn't worth it. I tell the manager/chef/owner know that it was taking 45+ mins to get the drinks ordered and food. No real response. Took almost an hour to get unseasoned wings and mozzarella strips with no marinara despite asking several times. The main manager/chef/owner was in and out the kitchen at times running just sauce to tables. I think they just need: someone else to deal with staff because the manager/chef/owner treated them like ish, a dedicated bartender AND servers for the lounge bc that's were their money will be, better distribution of duties between the main bartender and restaurant server, more space for the cigar lounge, a better selection of cigars, and better pricing on cigars.

Well the fish and grits I had didn't need anything but a spoon and a fork. Well I just had to put some hot sauce on my fish though. I sat at the bar and had a couple of cocktails with my dinner. All and all everything was great. There was a Dj and he had everyone sliding. Music wasn't too loud either. A great night out. FYI the cigar bar is in the back. No need to worry about that. If you didn't already know it was there you'd never smell a thing. Definitely making it one of my regular spots in the city.

I started with "Hi I was wondering if..." and noticed he wasn't paying attention.

He looked up, dead-pan no smile and says "what you see over there is what we have". In retrospect I think this individual may have been neurodivergent, but the manager behind the counter watched our interaction and did not bother to intervene when I told him I would just go to Publix. I can appreciate ASD individuals in the workplace, but any employee that cannot have a polite conversation with customers should not be on the floor where they might be approached OR should know to direct customers to someone else.
