“Wonderful downtown spot and the perfect preshow dinner spot for the Times Union center for symphony or shows. Everything on the menu was spot on that we ordered and cocktails were creative and well executed. Add in happy hour pricing and this is a 10 out of 10 every time. Can’t wait to get back soon.“

“Cute little dinning experience. Had the short rib and boyfriend had the schnitzel. And we weren’t sure what to think about fried bananas but omg amazing… not mushy- I would 10/10 recommend!“

“Lobster pimento cheese! Snapper was great too. Ambience is even better.“

“We were looking for a place to have Brunch and a lady outside of the restaurant gave us a Menu and invited us to enter. She took care of us and recommended The Scallops, the huevos rancheros, and the ribeye, we really enjoyed a wonderful meal, the atmosphere and the kind waitress. We can not wait to try other dishes“

“Great service, very attentive, and the food (Crab Rangoons to start, Sichuan Beef Stir Fry, and their award winning Mandarin Orange cake to finish) was super tasty. The atmosphere was nice and clean, they have a cool robot serving table that helps the server bring the food to you. Chef Dennis is very friendly and asked every table how their food came out. I’ll be coming back with friends and family.“

“We were down there for a Chiefs game and this place was catty corner to the Hilton. I’m glad we just went. It took me a few minutes to get accustomed to the costumes because they were pretty revealing but quickly realize that was part of the fun of the place. The bartenders were having a fantastic time and so were the customers. The drinks were great and they were very welcoming to out of town Chiefs fans, even with a little playful banter. They helped arrange a shuttle to get us to and from the game and we went back to the bar after the game and closed out the evening. Even though we weren’t locals, we sure felt like it by the time it was over. Special shout out to our bartender Danni who makes a mean old-fashioned and truly kept that place running smooth while everybody had a fantastic time. If we ever find ourselves in Jacksonville again, we will absolutely have to stop by.“

“I stopped by Dua on a Monday night when it was pretty slow, but my server Soto made the whole experience feel special. He was friendly, attentive, and created such a nice atmosphere even with the quiet crowd. He also made me the best espresso martini I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced and so smooth. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and genuinely cares about the guests’ experience. I really appreciated the great service and vibe he brought to the night. Definitely recommend asking for Soto if you visit Dua!“

Glad we checked it out!“

“My party of 4 ordered the Whole Hog for $48. You get 4 sides and the meats. It was weird getting 3 Ribs so one of us had to do without a rib. The presentation of the platter of meat for the Hog was sloppy. Our server Vic. S. Was very pleasant but had to ask her for drink refills and plates for the Whole Hog.“

“Good food and drinks very friendly.“

“Listen I did not know this little hidden gem was right up the street from where me and my husband live, we decided to stop at the laundromat and do a couple of loads of laundry and noticed this place next door and was like, let's go check it out, Ms. Gina. I believe she is. The owner, greeted us very pleasantly... We ordered three fried chicken beans and rice plates & two banana colas... We were the only customers at that time. So the place was empty. Her attitude was quite friendly and refreshing. The atmosphere What's pleasant? The food was amazing. The chicken, even though it looked dried out. Trust me, when I tell you. It was very juicy & well-seasoned... The coleslaw. Was amazing. I wish I could have had a lot more than that. L o l I started to go back and ask her to do me a pint of it... Sometimes you have to get out and explore your neighborhood. The food reminds me of straight-home cooking, which is refreshing. That means a lot coming for me. I don't eat out because I am very picky. We'll be paying, Ms. Gina. A visit again... So if you guys are ever on the west side of Jacksonville, go check her out, you won't be disappointed... For 3 plates & two banana colas plus tip..it was $43“
