“Servers were very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was very warm and homey, loved the traditional country music being played. Food was very tasty and was plenty of it. This was our first trip here, DEFINITELY won't be the last! Love this place, highly recommend it!“
“Best restaurant in JAX.I’m a little bit of a fine dining snob. After moving to JAX, I’ve struggled to find good restaurants.Orsay is solid. If you’re used to fine dining, you’ll like it here. It’s “casualer” fine dining—French bistro casual—where the emphasis is really on the quality of food, drinks and service.First of all, the service… Tony is literally the BEST server I have had in JAX. Thank you for doing a proper mise en place. He’s professional, passionate about the food, knowledgeable about the menu. I could tell he fired food based on the pase of our table. Nailed it.Second, the details. My plate was hot, but not because it was sitting under a heat lamp, but because it was intentionally hot. I could tell that someone wiped my plate, because they take pride in what they’re serving.These two qualities sets this restaurant apart (unfortunately) from literally every other “fine dining” restaurant I’ve tried so far in JAX.Third, they have foie gras, and it was excellent. They have duck confit. This is the type of restaurant where I’m sure there’s a giant tub of duck feet in the back. It’s legit confit. And it tasted like that. Props to the chef.So, if you’re a foodie. Come here. Eat the “weird” food on the menu, so that the chef has an audience for cool specials.“
“First time at Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar. Food was great. Jean was amazing. She took care of us. Her professional was beyond top notch. She was a lot of fun. Kept us smiling. Jean made sure we were comfortable. The drinks were so good. Thanks Jean for the pina colado cake. Beyond yummy. Oh and this martini!“
Chicken Wings • $
“The place was awesome, their outside area was full when I got there and they still found a way to seat me outside like I wanted :) Brooke my server was awesome, super nice and the food was out pretty fast!Vegetarian options: They have vegan wings“
“I didn’t take a picture of my food, I started eating soon as it hit the table. Fish and shrimp were fresh, fried golden brown and seasoned perfectly. Service was outstanding, we had a big group and they accommodated us and made sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be back.“

But what truly sets this steakhouse apart is its commitment to providing a top-notch dining experience without breaking the bank. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality of the food and service you receive. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a mouthwatering steak, this classy yet approachable steakhouse is sure to exceed your expectations.“
“This place is very unassuming from the outside. It is a busy but semi run down shopping center with a few other restaurants and an Indian grocer. The inside is really unique. Very warm and inviting but also exotic. I had a great lunch. I had a small greek salad and a bowl of lentil soup with a Saganaki appetizer. Sorry I did not photograph the Saganaki show. It was a beautiful table side flambé. The soup was delicious, the salad was fresh and refreshing, saganaki was sweet and salty in the best way. I will be back.“
“We went in for lunch and were immediately seated, drink order taken, and within seconds the server returned with soup as well. While we ordered they brought out a free hot crab appetizer that was delicious. Keep in mind, this all happened in the first 3 minutes of LUNCH.We ordered the chicken teriyaki and the 3 roll lunch special ($14.95) each came with soup and salad. I would add the ginger dressing is terrible, the very orange kind.The meal took less than ten minutes to prepare. The chicken teriyaki was a solid lunch portion with a good ratio of chicken to veggies. The fried rice was brown, not yellow, always a good sign.The sushi was super fresh and as you can see the plating was even well thought out.Top notch experience, couldn't believe it was lunch service. Check it out!“
“Even from making the reservation to the final completion of this meal, the entire operation was perfection.Initially there was an issue with the seating assignment. The management immediately rectified the situation.It’s perfection in every way.When traveling the east coast, I always search out this restaurant.Excellent!!!“
“This is my 1st choice when it comes to seafood restaurants. Sadly we are a little bit far from this place but it's definitely worth the trip. When you first enter the restaurant you will be greeted and you the special will be on the left so make sure to look there because you don't want to miss the goodStuff! This place is huge, they have a bar at the back corner of the restaurant and the rest is a seating area. We've been here 4 times and I have tried their blackened shrimp and the way they seasoned their shrimp is just perfect! The steamed oyster was delicious and I can just eat that everyday! We also tried the fried gator and at first I wasn't sure but I'm so glad I tried it because it was so good! The sides that comes with the food is fries, coleslaw and hush puppies, I don't eat a lot of coleslaw but this coleslaw is great! This place is definitely worth a visit! You can tell that their seafoods are fresh and that's a must!“
“The food here is Amazing with a few unique twists on the sandwiches. The Baby Bella is a very tasty mushroom & Swiss burger and they cook everything fresh to order. They also have have a sandwiche called the Snakebite that kicks a nice bite of spice. You can substitute a veggie patty on the sandwiches which is a BonusOHhhhh they fries are the addicting kind ?“
“This place is absolutely the best in town. The food was amazing, and the chicken wings were some of the best. There’s no where else I’d want to go! 10/10! The juicy seasoning on the boils with medium heat is amazing! The snow crab legs were fantastic. The staff and owner are so awesome and are great for recommendations! Can’t wait to come back!“
“We were late for our reservations due to traffic and the line for valet so leave early and if you’re late call. Tara was our server and she was wonderful. The Gancia Moscato d’Asti was so delicious and so were the scallops. The Brussel sprouts with the bourbon bacon jam is really good. I’m not a fan of pimento cheese but the Mac n cheese was surprisingly delicious. The mashed potatoes were whipped to perfection. The lamb chops were very tender, the lobster tail and salmon were good. Definitely would come back.“
“Absolutely delicious! Our group of 6 were seated quite promptly The view was fantastic. The service was flawless. Appetizers we ordered: fried green tomatoes, calamari, poke nachos - all absolutely divine no complaints Hubby and I I ordered: Ribeye steak medium rare - this was cooked to perfection. It just the perfect amount of seasoning and charred just the way I like it. Seated New Bedford scallops - can I just say these were some of the best scallops I've ever had? So fresh, so moist and tender, perfectly seared on one side with flavors locked in each bite The grits were creamy and the broth presented with a nice flavorful. Collard greens were cut like I prefer them to be, not too big that it slivers down and makes you choke and not too small that it makes you feel like you're eating shredded veggies. Small details matter and they nailed it! Overall a great experience. A highly recommended restaurant for date night and group events“
“My husband and I absolutely love having bonefish Grill in our rotation for our date night. Our waitress Mel is always so attentive and remembers the little things from our previous visits that make our experience memorable. It’s why we keep coming back. Shout out to the management team for rounding on us.Parking: N/A“
“There was s mixup with the wait staff but once our waiter got started, the service was awesome. The food was delicious and we all really enjoyed it. The prices seemed better since the name change and it looks like they have hired a complete new staff. Will be back!“
“We had such an amazing experience at Blue Orchid today. Our server Amber was absolutely amazing! She found out that I didn't like the taste of the CrabbyColatta and took it off my bill even though there was nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't my thing. The food here is cooked to perfection and some of the best in Jacksonville. The outside patio is truly the best in Jacksonville. We can't wait to return and will be coming back here much more often.“
“My wife and I have gotten take out from here twice. I have tried the Green and Yellow Curries and both are very good. I typically prefer green but their yellow was outstanding (perhaps the best I have ever had). I did take out and their service was slower than planned but within 5 minutes of the expected time frame and they did forget to put in my wife's thai tea which was disappointing for her but did not affect our score enough to bring it down to a 4.In the relatively short amount of time waiting in the restaurant to pick up the food, the waiting area was fairly cramped and a little unorganized to who was waiting on pick up and who was waiting to be seated but the staff did a good job asking periodically for those here for take out.It looked like a great atmosphere to eat and appeared very clean as well.“

“I guess the smell of the water wasn't my favorite, so I'm giving 3 stars BUT food was good and nice ambience ... Ok 4 stars but it's not your fault ?My husband said after a few drinks you can't smell it. I agree ?. Ok....5 “
“Greeted and sat by hostess very pleasantAbby was my server took my order. (Lunch Special)Cheeseburger good French fries excellentAbby was very friendly always with a smile Attentive and very personableService was on point. Well done Enjoyable experience“

“The wait is worth it!!!! Always delicious and hot. I've been to this location twice this month and best of all they stay open til 4am (not sure if it's everyday or just weekends). I had to go inside to grab the sauces that I requested upon ordering and the lobby was filled. Music was bumpin' which is important to me as a customer and in the past, when I was working upbeat, dance music helped me stay happy and productive even when I was nonstop busy. They had 4 cashiers taking orders and expediting them in addition to about 6 cooks (was probably more but I could see some thru the window plating orders) checking everything for perfection! I'd eat here every day if I could afford it ? Got the 3item platter combo with curly fries instead of crinkle and a side order of fried okra. It was about $30 plus they gave me a free jumbo cup of ice. The young lady that brought my order out even complimented me on my beautiful daughters ?“
“Loved the low lighting. Very slow drink service. Poppin tuna Krudo was average, but the spicy tuna roll was good. Edamame was amazing!! Lychee martinis was amazing, but it isn't a martini glass size it's about two shots size in a short glass. Pickled cucumber salad tastes like bread and butter pickled pickles.“
“I love this dive. We like to eat our food outside on the little deck by the water. The food is tasty. It just seems a shame a side of fries isn’t included with the main, making it a bit more pricey than the usual greasy spoon. I love stopping here after a day at Little Talbot Island.“
“We've been in Jacksonville for over 2 years and this is the FIRST Chinese food restaurant we think is worth ordering from again. It was about :20 from our home and that was almost a deal breaker. I'm so glad we tried it! We shared a hot and sour soup, which was full of chicken breast, tofu and flavor. We both ordered different chicken entrees. They were both made with chicken breast and a variety of vegetables - delicious! Spring rolls were good, as well. There are a few tables, but I would choose to always get it to go. I meant to take photos, but we ended up just diving into the food. We will definitely be back!“
“I got the garlic blue crab and a snow crab tray. Both were delicious!! They weren't stingy with the seasoning nor the margarine. The place was clean and the service was really good. I will be back. I inhaled the tray... Next time, I will take a Pic.“
“Happy hour at Oceana is the place to be! This restaurant is not only gorgeous, but their happy hour specials are fire. Champagne, cocktails, oysters, and delicious bites are all featured on the happy hour menu. And the fun doesn't stop there. The dinner menu has even more delicious options. The seafood is fresh and has incredible flavor. My favorite is the steamed seafood platter... with snow crab, king crab, dungeness crab, and peal and eat shrimp. You should stick around for desert too... because no meal is complete without an affogato. A delicious combination of espresso and vanilla ice cream.Cheers y'all!“
“Our server was Grace. She had a very pleasant attitude and gave great selections on entrees we usually don’t have. She also upsold us on the $10 take home entree, which was a great deal. Price point, food and service was great. Thanks Grace!“
“As many times as we have enjoyed this restaurant, I’m not sure why this is my first review. Hands down, this is our absolute favorite place to eat!My son and I have made this our go-to weekend spot for over a year now, and it never disappoints.The service is definitely 5 star! BTwo weeks ago when we were there, as soon as we sat down, our server Makayla greeted us with our regularly ordered drinks. We were shocked that she had remembered us - much less what we typically order! She definitely made us feel special!In addition to the exceptional service, the food is phenomenal. We always start off with Mexico City Spinach Con Queso and chips - which is DELISH!!!As for cocktails, you cannot beat their Lemon Drop Martini! It comes with a side car- so you definitely get every last drop.If you like chicken tenders, I must say that these are some of the best I’ve ever had! The portion is huge and comes with a heaping pile of crispy shoestring fries.Whenever my husband is able to join us, he is obsessed with the Old Fashion Hamburger. Cooked to perfection and loaded with anything you can think of!Overall, you can’t beat the food, service, atmosphere or the price!! Our absolute fave!!!!“
“The crabs are fresh and delicious and cooked to perfection. All of the food on the menu is very good. This won't be ourlast trip, but the beginning of many more nights at the red crab. Our server Camryn was very attentive and on time with our food. And anything else that we needed? She was ready to help.“
“The food is absolutely amazing and the service is even better. When I tell you the food is seasoned - please don’t pass the salt and pepper shakers - they aren’t needed (the chef handled that in the kitchen for you). Must I add this is super clean and fresh. If you want to enjoy a good drink the bartenders are the best and they aren’t stingy on the liquor. If you in the city living or visiting this is the best place to come. The vibe is always tight, I promise you won’t be disappointed. For us by us. Support Indulgence you won’t be disappointed and you might even skip Sunday dinner with the family for a southern plate here.“
“This is my absolute favorite restaurant! I've been coming here for over 20 years. It's a nice cozy place, and family operated. When you walk in, you feel like you're being welcomed home. The curry is out of this world! Other, more "corporatey" restaurants just don't quite hit the spot. When people from out of town ask what one restaurant they should go to in Jacksonville, it's this place.“
“I stopped in for a quick bite and I'm so glad I did! I had their soup of the day, roasted red pepper with gouda.. delicious! For my lunch I ordered the combo of fried shrimp and a deviled crab.. fries and squash casserole for my sides. Everything was well seasoned, the shrimp were not all breading. And the staff?? Phenomenal! From the warm greeting at my entrance, the helpful suggestions during ordering, the ladies walking around - I had an amazing time and I will be back again!“
“We always enjoy our meals and bring our out of town guest for dinner there. Our grandkids enjoy the food as well.Samantha took good care of me.. I listed all the foods we enjoy on other visits.Kid-friendliness: The grandkids enjoyed their Tacos as well as the calamari.We really enjoy the seafood you serve.“
“I've been a "regular" of Alexander and Sons Shrimp company since they opened. You honestly can't get any better than this. The prices and quality of the shrimp are unmatched. Now that they have added the food truck this year it's easy to follow the schedule on their Facebook page that's posted weekly and let them take care of dinner! HIGHLY recommend!!!“
“A must stop for seafood lovers. They have fresh live blue crabs, lobsters etc. They also have frozen dim sum items and simple Asian groceries. They sell whole roast duck from time to time. Their frozen dim sum items is restaurant quality, which is great for catering and home parties. They accept cards and EBT.“
“I am from out of town and I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this. It had great music, welcoming atmosphere, and the food was bomb. Wings had me about to eat my knuckles! Relloi and Jessicaa made sure that I was taken care of with great suggestions. Try their fruity drippers drink!“
“We had the pleasure of this being our first dining experience. It was a beautiful, delicious meal and the ambience was amazing. The wait staff Taylor, Tyler and Danielle were impeccable. It’s a blessing to gather with family; however Chophouse Thirteen made it memorable.“
“Our first time. We heard it was a good place for real Southern cooking. They did not disappoint ? Everything was great. We got there at the tail end of their serving hours and the cook whipped us up some hot, fresh fish, shrimp and fried green tomatoes, way more than we could eat. He then boxed up our huge piles of leftovers to take home! We will definitely be back!“
“I’ve been here twice and the food has been outstanding both times. The staff are so wonderful. They greet you with a smile that includes the chefs. I’ve been with large parties both times so I’ve had a chance to sample a number of dishes. I can’t say anything has been bad. We personally love the wings for an appetizer along with the buffalo shrimp and the crab and artichoke dip. The bowtie pasta is outstanding, and the salmon plank melts in your mouth like butter. The bacon wrapped scallops are to die for, and even the fried shrimp are good. You can’t go wrong here. And don’t forget the desserts.“
“I just had the best shrimp and made from scratch tarter sauce I've ever had. When I tell you I clapping my hands between bites ? I found my new favorite seafood place and they have karaoke on Friday nights from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.! I will be back!“
“I was introduced to Louisiana Fish & Chicken through a friend and was told I needed to make the 30-minute drive if I haven't tried them yet.Initially, I was thrown off by the presentation, but after receiving my food, I knew exactly why this place was given praise.The food was excellently seasoned, and cooked in such a way it wasn't overly greasy, and the French fries were wonderful even after my drive back. I had the shrimp and catfish nuggets, and although I would have never ordered this in the past, this will be a go-to for me in the future.Give this spot a chance, and I promise you'll end up recommending in the future!“
“The inside of the restaurant was clean, and since we weren't familiar with Peruvian cuisine, the server kindly helped us choose dishes?The seafood in the Ceviche was very fresh, the fried squid was soft and delicious, and the rice dish was delicious with the seafood stock . My Japanese friends and I have been eating fresh sushi and sashimi in Japan, so we are very picky about the quality of the seafood, but we can recommend this place. We are very happy to have found this restaurant?“
“Looking for big, new york style slices? This is the spot. On my first visit I got the meatball sub and a slice of Philly. Not a huge fan of mushrooms but I'll tell ya, I killed that slice. Full of flavor at a great price. This visit I told the owner about how the meatball sub wasn't great and she not only appreciated my feedback but wants to make it better. Its always nice talking to business owners willing to listen and look to please customers. Its an important relationship for local businesses.This visit I got the meat lovers and Hawaiian for my wife. I got the Philly (again) and the BLT. Also a order of mozzarella sticks. Ate the BLT and some sticks, not quite ready for the philly but all was great. Hot, fresh and the slice was a great iteration of a BLT. Crisp lettuce, tons of bacon, tomatoes and a mayo drizzle that isnt too abrasive. Wife enjoyed her meat lovers(also had before and while not a fan on pepperoni, loves this meat lovers).Havent had the pasta yet but will look to try it next time. Definitely give them a shot and if ordering the meatball sub, check that they have the inhouse meatballs. Think thats the game changer from what I had before.“
“We love Carrabba’s. It is consistently good. Our last two visits we have had Haley as our server and she is delightful. She makes great recommendations and she is all around a fantastic server. She always comes with a smile. Thank you Haley!Parking: Parking available“
“The first time I tried this place my boyfriend and I Fell INLOVE EVERYTHING WAS HANDS DOWN FRESH AND BUSSIN !!! THE SECOND TIME WAS THE ABSOLUTE SAME THEY HAVE VERY REASONABLE PRICES AND GIVE BIG PORTIONS , I LOVE THEIR FLAVORED WINGS (HOT HONEY) Is my FAV , I just prefer smaller wings but soo far this place has been a 10/10 For us & I do recommend and WILL TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN lol ❤️ !!!! .“
“Dungeness mussels and shrimp were good. My main issue during the 2 times I’ve eaten here is that the sauce is extra salty. I tasted more saltiness than I did garlic. I went here because I didn’t want to travel the distance to my preferred place. I think next time (if there is a next time), I’ll just get the garlic butter and add my own spices.“
“We weren’t very hungry, but we wanted to try this place because we were in the area and I highly recommend it. It was excellent. The service was above par. The people were super nice. The owner stopped by to say hello. I can’t say enough definitely will go back.Parking: Parking was great plenty of spots. Good location on university.“
“We enjoyed our dinner here. We waited maybe 10 minutes to be seated in a Sunday evening. The roasted cod and the two item combo basket (scallops and clams) were excellent! The cod was seasoned wonderfully with just a hint of salt. The squash/zucchini veggies and the red potatoes were a wonderful accompaniment to the cod. Our server, Derek, was clearly into his work. He was enthusiastic and engaging/friendly. We would definitely eat here again.“
