Best Cozy Restaurants in Jacksonville

The place to go for special occasions. Great food and outstanding service. You can’t go wrong having a meal at Aqua Grill.

If I could give 6 stars I would! Absolutely the best dining experience I have had in years, and it was lunch service on Christmas Eve. Jeff, our server, was outstanding. It’s rare, in fine dining these days, to fine an establishment that cares both from a culinary and service perspective. Jeff and the 11 South staff knocked it out of the park. We will be back and thanks to 11 South as you truly are a dining gem.

What a special Anniversary celebration we had at Medure. Service and food were outstanding! His tenderloin and my rack of lamb were perfectly prepared. Wait staff were on point.

If you are thinking of a place to go on your birthday or even an average night, COME HERE! We truly had one of the, if not THE best service experiences of our lives (not to be dramatic). Mario, our server, deserves a raise and a promotion. He made my birthday one of the most special days by playing along with all the birthday surprises, sending us some specialty sushi on the house, catering to my friend’s dietary restrictions with us barely having to tell him, being quick and efficient, selling excellent recommendations, and just being hilarious. The sushi here is SO fresh and unique, the drink list was overflowing with options of beer, wine, and delicious craft cocktails, and the atmosphere was intimate yet lively and fun! There’s a rooftop area as well as a downstairs portion with a huge window that makes the place feel much bigger than it is. Everyone here was so kind and really made this day amazing. Cheer !

A wonderful dinner with friends at this delightful bistro! Everything was perfect-- but the staff made the evening ! We can't wait to go back!
