What a great find..... The service was great and the food was delicious. The pork chop, fillet, and the burger was a few of the faves at our table. (Group of 8) Dinning early was a plus, the later it got the busier and louder it got. After dinner we visited the roof top bar. What a great view and atmosphere. We will definitely go back.

Walked in on a busy Saturday night and were happy to find two seats at the bar! Mike took great care of us and we tried both the appetizer and entree special and we were extremely pleased with both! The soft shell crab appetizer was a perfect start! It was accompanied by a small salad and the most incredible sauce! We also decided to take Mike’s advice on the short ribs over Pappardelle and it was delicious! We ended with dessert, the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had! We can’t wait to return to experience the roof top and the full dining experience!

My wife, aunt-in-law, and I reserved a table for a Friday night dinner. We had excellent service from our server, Macy! She was very attentive and friendly. The drinks were nice and strong, great value for the price. All three of us tried three different entrees - my wife got the shrimp and grits, I had the hangar steak, and my aunt had the salmon. All three of us found the food to be delicious. I also had a side of the AMAZING Gouda grits. You definitely get your money’s worth. This was an excellent way to celebrate my 30th birthday!

First experience. Though others I’ve spoken to have had poor experiences; this was my Mothers 2nd experience and my first. The food was fantastic, fairly priced but our waitress was stellar! I will go back and recommend every time, Brie! She was outstanding! Great experience!

Very nice place! I like the rooftop lounges for relaxation while waiting to be seated for supper. Very nice vibe from staff members to management. Just wish that it is a bigger venue, but overall experience was excellent! Thank you! Shout out to our server Lauren - job well done! 👍

My husband and I had (a rare, kid-free) lunch here yesterday for my birthday. Our waiter (Bo) was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were good, and we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. We’ll definitely be back! 😊

This was my second time visiting. The first time I had dinner with my friends. After that dinner we went up to the rooftop. The food was divine. I had a taste of my friends food and everything was delicious. The drinks were perfect as well. Went yesterday to just hang out and the live band was amazing. Love this place and can't wait to go back again.

Matt was the best server ever. Food is incredible. Cool location and rooftop bar had a great overview of the city.

What an amazing place the ambience is breathtaking. The food is so yummy. The service was on point and so perfect. So you make a reservation to sit at the restaurant and eat till you're full. The drinks are well worth it. Our server was knowledgeable. Now once you're done and ready for dessert go upstairs and the only problem is that it is first come first serve. The sofas do have a fire pit.

Restaurant is phenomenal located in historical district of riverside along river with amazing upscale dishes. I ordered this last time blackened sea bass and was amazing. Rooftop lounge with stunning views and live music sets this place apart from so many. Highly recommend.

Stopped by for brunch before heading over to the Cummer museum, the most convenient spot to go to aside from the museum cafe. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food did take a while to arrive but was well worth it. Ordered the eggs Benedict with cured salmon on top, delicious! Prices were reasonable for a spot like this. Didn't have a chance to check out the rooftop, will have to do it next time!

This was our first visit at the restaurant; we wanted to try something different for Christmas Eve. We received excellent service from the staff and the food was delicious. I only give four stars for the food because there were no poultry options on the menu that evening. Four stars for atmosphere because the dining area was a little crowded; not sure if it was because it was Christmas Eve, but the tables were very close together. Perhaps they were trying to accommodate more people for an evening…? If I had to change anything, maybe the distance between tables. Otherwise, very good experience. We will be going back in future.

Rooftop lounge has an amazing view. Drinks were great. Casual atmosphere. Servers were attentive. Prices were reasonable for this level of food. Gouda grits were a unique find and were delicious.

The restaurant is beautiful. We really wanted to sit on the rooftop but there was absolutely no seating available and it was extremely loud. I really wish there were tables up there to enjoy a nice dinner. Still beautiful view. We sat on the first floor and initially our server Antonio greeted us with such enthusiasm. He was very friendly but it was quickly apparent that he wasn’t a very seasoned employee. He didn’t know the menu very well at all we actually had to stop him and ask that he took our dinner order. We took our daughter and grandson out and he literally asked us three times if it was all on one check. That to me, is an odd thing to ask. Our drinks stayed empty for a long time and we had to ask for more water. My daughter had a special request for her dinner and it was thoroughly explained and he said it was “simple” but it didn’t come out as requested. When he gave us the check he said he didn’t charge us for one of the sides as if he was doing us a favor. The appetizers were very good - I recommend the goat cheese balls for sure. My salmon was delicious and my husband got the crab cakes - which he said he would not have had again. It was a beautiful establishment and good food - I just think our server could benefit from being more attentive and learning the menu - he was incredibly friendly though.

Arrived at 5:00PM went to the Rooftop for cocktails and appetizers. The Rooftop has its own “food menu” and you cannot order from the regular menu which we knew before I am just letting you know that if you go. Drinks were a Blackberry Sidecar and Bourbon and Berries. The Sidecar was ok the B&B (my favorite) was spot on as always. Order the Blackberry BBQ wings (8) served with and the Stuffed Mushrooms (6). Wings were served a little warmer than room temperature but, not hot. They were very good served with ranch (blue cheese was not an option) and were very tasty finger lickin’ good! The Mushrooms were warmer and they too were tasty. Our server was Bristol she did a great job checking on us and making sure our needs were met. There was a couple that sat down behind us and after 15 minutes of seating there they left. We happened to be leaving, this couple rode the whole elevator down with us. I asked did they decide to eat in the restaurant (it was cool on 5/26/23) they said no one asked to help them. That did not affect our enjoyable time.

Events & link ups here are so lovely. They have an attentive staff. The rooftop vibe is phenomenal. Drinks & small bites are nice. I will definitely be returning to host more and share.

I came in last Wednesday for lunch and sat at the bar. Blaire was my bartender. She just started bartending there. Super personal and friendly. It’s nice being a female and being able to be comfortable with another woman as a bartender, especially at a bar. Thanks Blaire for entertaining me and making my special bees knees.

There is a nice place for outdoor dining which I love. The indoor space is very pretty and cozy and they have a nice bar area. We went for lunch It was relatively quiet on a Tuesday but the service was excellent which was a relief because sometimes in some places when it is slow the service is slack….I don’t think that would happen here. I had the portobello burger which was so delicious and there were so many delicious fries! My daughter had the rock shrimp, the portion was meant to share as an appetizer because it was huge however she ordered as her main meal. I definitely want to return for diner as the menu looked delicious and I would love to have some fresh fish!

Went here for our anniversary. The location is prime. Food came out fresh and delicious. Service was quick. It was pretty dead on a weekday at 5pm. I’d love to come back and try other dishes. We went simple this time. Dessert wasn’t that great, was expecting more in that area.

Incredible. Delicious. Simply the best scallops I have ever had anywhere in my life. Cannot beat this place for a memorable dinner while visiting JAX. Try the charcuterie board. Do NOT get the broiled oysters. It’s 90% other ingredients rather than oysters with overpowering flavors like sausage and herbs that do not allow you to taste the oyster. The beef tartare was delicious. Our waiter, Nick, was FANTASTIC. Thank you, Nick!

First visit here with friends from Maryland. We went for brunch. All the food was amazing! We sat outside. There was a young lady singing that had the vibes of the artist Jewel. Music was definitely a plus. Parking was good.

I've dined here 3 times already, but I'm just now doing my review. The food, cocktails (Sangria), customer service, and atmosphere have always been on point. I've tried quite a few dishes, and all were really good. And yes, bread pudding is a very unique dish, and not everyone can properly prepare it. I've never been a huge bread pudding fan anyway, but I must admit, it's pretty dang good! One step behind my mother's ☺️. My sister gets it all the time, and I always taste a tad bit of hers, so they definitely get 👍👍👍up. Due to the bi-polar weather here in Duvaaaal, I have not made it to the rooftop just yet, but overall, it's a very nice eatery.

We were visiting from out of town. During our stay in Jacksonville we choose to eat at River & Post . The food was great, great flavors. We really enjoyed the appetizer Crab cake.The flavors of the dishes were delicious. We didn't experience the rooftop but the ambiance was great downstairs. We enjoyed ourselves.
