Restaurants near San Marco Theatre

The Chart House is always a friendly and elegant place to dine and Thanksgiving was no different. Our greeters and server (Angelique) were excellent- attentive and efficient. My only complaint was that the turkey was too salty, but that may just be me, I have been reducing my salt intake so perhaps I was not used to it. Regardless, I will always recommend the Chart House as one of the best restaurants in Jacksonville.

Matthew's Restaurant has been our go-to in Jacksonville for a number of years, so my husband and I decided to visit for a romantic date night before the full-blown Thanksgiving celebration with the family. The meal was not just a meal, but an amazing experience from start to finish. What do we love about Matthew's? First of all, the ambiance is perfect--pleasant lighting, white tablecloths, and professionally dressed staff members who seem happy to be there. This sets the scene for what's to come. The cocktails are stellar--well-balanced and delicious. (You can't go wrong with their list, but the bartender is also friendly and amenable to special requests.) The bread is outstanding; the salads fresh, colorful and tasty; the entrees creative and artfully presented. Save room for dessert, too. Tip: Get one for each person in your party, because they are fairly small, and you will want to taste more than one! Many thanks to Matthew for running a first-class business and to all the staff members for their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Special thanks to Preston for his wonderful service--attentive, but not obtrusive. This may have to become our annual tradition: the night before Thanksgiving at Matthew's.

Marcy was an amazing server! She made our experience fantastic!

Went there for the first time last night and had Dominick as our waiter, he was phenomenal. We did the tasting menu and they were able to satisfy the allergies of one of our party members without issue. Service was amazing, staff was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were great. Can’t say enough good things about our waiter, dude knew what he was doing and did it well.

Amazing food and outstanding service! I’m absolutely delighted with the experience—from the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The service was beyond excellent, truly left me speechless. Everything we ordered was delicious. As starters, we had the “CURED + AGED” and the grilled cheese, both incredible. For entrees, we chose the filet mignon and pasta—every bite was perfect. They also have a great selection of wines to complement the meal. Highly recommend this place!
