“First time dining at The District SPR and it was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I had the best time for date night! Jojo was are bartender and he was friendly, knowledgeable and made some awesome drinks but just fantastic dude all around! If I could give him 20 stars I would! The food was a delight and the vibe was on point! My boyfriend had the sandwich special which was so big he couldn't even finish it! I had the flank steak with mash, and don't miss out on the Brussels and creme Brule for dessert. And now that I'm a local to the neighborhood they made me a vip! So look out I will be there all the time! Hands down best local food in Springfield!“

We had a chocolate chip cherry bread to start and it was DELICIOUS! Both of us enjoyed our main entrees and drinks.

“I really enjoyed this spot!The menu is tiny so in my opinion, you don’t come here because you’re famished- you go to BB’s because you have an affinity for the cute and the quaint. It’s kind of like a place for “collectors”; it’s for people who need great ambiance.The dress is fairly casual but you’ll feel much more confident if you wear one of your trendiest outfits and your favorite fragrance. The clientele will notice and shower you with compliments when you do because they appreciate that you appreciate the vibe.If you are a foodie though, you’ll be thoroughly intrigued AND satisfied by the cake bar- so much to choose from!They have the absolute BEST BREAD PUDDING I’ve ever had in public… HANDS DOWN!!!They have creative (albeit fried) tapas that are quite reasonably priced as well as a small variety of salads in the $20 range.But again, come here for the ambiance and the bread pudding.“

“I had a nice experience at Kingdom Sushi. The food was good and had very unique fusion of Japanese - Brazilian. If you love sushi's then you will probably like this place. For appetizer we enjoyed the shimeji, gungga by kingdom, ceviche and the salmon carpaccio. The yakisoba and miso soup did not stand out. They were just okay. For the sushi's, my favorites were the chef maninho roll, djoy, California rolls. Most of the sushi were actually good. We also tried their temaki, sashimis and nigiris. Everything was good. For dessert we had ice cream sandwich and banana nutella roll. For the drinks we ordered Sake Lychee and Ichigo. Both were very refreshing. The ambiance was nice, there was a live acoustic music which is a plus for me. The servers were nice and friendly however the service was a bit slow. Also another reason why I gave this a four star was because the price of their All You Can Eat, its over priced compare to most other AYCE sushi places in town.“

Good flavors and ingredients but the temp of the pizza was just barely above room temp. Slightly messy to eat due to being slightly undercooked.“

Despite my usual aversion to kimchi, these wings were a revelation, easily ranking among the best I've ever had.The wings boasted a perfect crunch on the outside and tender meat inside. The kimchi butter sauce added a savory depth that surprised and delighted my taste buds.Domu's commitment to quality and creativity shines through in every dish, and their wings are no exception. Paired with the trendy yet inviting ambiance, it's a dining experience not to be missed. Whether you're a kimchi lover or not, Domu's wings are sure to leave a lasting impression.“

“Hello, I am Latin and the Latin night was spectacular... there was only one problem and that was that when I wanted to order my drinks no bartender decided to help me because they did not understand Spanish (something that seems incoherent to me with the Latin night) it is not possible to order drinks because when the bartenders don't understand Spanish they just turn around and ignore you all night... as a Latino not speaking English I had to turn to friends to get a drink because I felt totally ignored. My advice is to have at least one bilingual bartender. But everything was incredible.“

My server was attentive and very knowledeable about the menu items. I had a burger and fries - it was a comfort food kind of afternoon for me - and will go back soon to try other menu items soon.“

“Overall this hidden speakeasy is amazing! Its hidden store front with the "JAX POST" vibe is cool. I've been here a few times for the Bartenders Brawl but never on a regular night. Total for the 2 hours while I was here there was a max of 20 people in the establishment. Its cool it see this "speakeasy" bar not crowded with people and and be able to "observe" it in its "natural" environment. The bar design was an interesting, the concept it reminded me of a "Thrust" or "Runway" style stage. Im theater terms this allows the performers in this case the bartender with a greater interaction with the audience or customer in this case To my knowledge during the week they only have one Bartender on staff compared to the weekend aka Friday and Sat. This unique concept allows individual attention and space (during covid) but still flourishes on the weekends during the busiest time. I should have written a review in 2017 when I was introduced to this amazing establishment via a former F & B industry coworker.“

“-Beautiful interior with acoustics kept in mind -Solid wine list & well crafted cocktail menu -Food was exceptional. Head on shrimp appetizer was amazing, so perfectly cooked the shell seemed to dissolve on the tongue. The sauce it was served with had just enough salt, acid, & spices to compliment the shrimp but not overpower it. Was hesitant to order a burger at a seafood restaurant and I was humbly incorrect. First bite deceived me as the char was a bit strong on its own, but the second bite when everything (the sauce, fresh pickle, buttery bun, the onions, wood fired waygu & cheeses (Gouda & Brie)) all came together to work some magic on the burger. Our table got all three desserts, they were solid. But the key lime pie was the star of that show. Best one I have had in some time! Our server Jason was already well versed with the ins & outs of the menu and was cool & calm on the second night of service.“

Then, when I got home, the food was fantastic. My new favorite Indian food in JAX. I was amused that when I ordered the second style Biryani (for me) they seemed cautious when I expressed my desire for more spicy than the rest of my order. (it was chicken 65 biryani, it would be a crime to ask for mild wouldn't it?) Everything was perfect! I can't wait to go back and try food straight from the kitchen.

What we like most are the experience mixologist (not sure if that is really the proper term, but they are definitely more then your average bartender). You simply describe to them what you like; alcohol, flavors, etc and most of them can create the most awesome unique and delicious drinks. A great place to visit for sure.“

I was pleasantly surprised to find that they also serve food. We sampled a few different items that day and I don't really recall all of them, but I do remember the empanadas...they were fantastic! I would definitely order those again. All and all this place is great. Locally owned, which I love to support. And has a pretty good staff of people working there now as well.“
