Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in St. Joe

Haven continues to delight every visit. This month they are running a "All Dogs go to Haven" hotdog special on the bar bites menu to benefit Florida Giant Dog Rescue. Last week the hotdog was named the Johnson after chef Chad Johnson. The hotdog was wrapped with bacon and had truffles 2 ways. It was incredibly well done. This week the hotdog is the Adrian named after long time waiter Adrian because it features sauerkraut. Overall this is a win-win that features great food benefiting a worthy cause.

We had a great Christmas meal. Three of us enjoyed an appetizer, the 1905 tableside salad, and entrees. Two had fish - both were delicious. The only disappointment was the special Christmas dinner pork meal, which was dry and barely lukewarm as if it had been sitting waiting for the others. The service was stellar - friendly, informative, knowledgeable, timely, but allowed us to enjoy the experience over a period of time without feeling rushed even though the place was jam packed.

We sat outside and staff turned on a heater near us. The meals were excellent and the service was wonderful. First time and will definitely be returning!

My wife and I stopped by this gem for a Christmas Eve brunch. Borderline breathtaking experience! Everything from the holiday cocktails to the house made pasta was unbelievable. Alex, an absolute legend, provided unparalleled hospitality while connecting with his guests at the same time. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant in Hyde Park, you won’t regret it!

Great dinner! The filet was perfection, as were the sides and apps. The service by Selena was truly wonderful! A little loud in the lounge but the musician was great.
