Blue Fish Restaurant and Oyster Bar

I went here for the first time. I ordered the Shrimp and grits and a wide of blackened snapper. The grits and fish were very good and full of flavor. I didn't care for the shrimp because it had a fishy taste to it. The server was great and very helpful with the menu. I sat upstairs and was able to open a windowpane to feel the fresh breeze. The atmosphere is nice. Great place for dinner. I'd definitely visit this place again.

✨ Incredible first-time experience at Blue Fish Restaurant and Oyster Bar! ✨ This was my very first time trying oysters, and their oyster sampler blew me away—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I also had the grouper in lemon-caper sauce, which was light, buttery, and deliciously balanced with bright, briny capers. My partner ordered the shrimp carbonara, which was creamy, smoky, and packed with flavor. We ended the night with their white chocolate bread pudding to go, and wow—decadent doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend for a special night out or a treat-yourself dinner. We’ll definitely be back! 🌊🐟🍋 Thank you, Maddie, for the excellent service experience 🙏🏼

OMG this place is amazing from the time we walk in the door and left. If I could give 10 stars I would. Our waiter Michelle was top tier and knowledgeable. I had to let the manager Sam know we had a GREAT experience! We need this food and service in Houston!

This was my 3rd time at Blue Fish and I truly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was fantastic for our engagement celebration. While my steak came out under cooked all the other meals came out fantastic. And our waiter Richard was kind enough to take my steak back and have the kitchen redo it. Servers me right for ordering steak at a seafood restaurant.

Had a great happy hour experience here with my friend. We enjoyed fresh, delicious oysters—big, flavorful, and absolutely worth the $15 a dozen. The watermelon martinis were the perfect refreshing touch. Huge shoutout to Yvette and Ray who really made my first visit memorable—they were nonstop making sure everyone was taken care of and full of oysters! Great vibes, great service. I’ll definitely be back!

This is one of my wife’s and I favorite places to enjoy a meal! We recently planned an event there but the weather was going to be an issue. Chef Scott was very understanding and accommodating, he catered our event at an another location and the food was amazing as always! We can’t thank him and his staff enough!

Bluefish: A Mixed Bag of Seafood and Service My Saturday visit to Bluefish presented a study in contrasts. While some aspects shone, others left a distinctly unpleasant aftertaste. Arriving to a bustling scene, we were relegated to bar seating, as the upstairs was closed and the outdoor area sparsely populated. This immediately set a tone of slightly cramped quarters. The oyster sampler, my appetizer, arrived promptly and offered a decent variety of fresh oysters. A promising start. For my main course, I opted for the Chili Garlic Crunch Salmon Bowl. The dish, as described, delivered a pleasant kick of heat, and the components harmonized well. It was, overall, a satisfying and flavorful meal. My companion's Scallops and Shrimp with White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, however, was a different story. While the shrimp seasoning was acceptable, the mac & cheese was disappointingly bland. It lacked the rich, cheesy depth one expects from a white cheddar mac. The most significant drawback was the glacial pace of the main course delivery. While the appetizers arrived swiftly, the wait for our entrees stretched to an uncomfortable length. Thankfully, our bartender/waitress was consistently attentive and personable, making the wait slightly more bearable. Unfortunately, the dining experience was marred by some concerning observations regarding hygiene and professionalism. Throughout our meal, I witnessed several instances of staff behavior that were frankly off-putting. Waiters scratching their hair and then handling drinks, picking up orange slices for cocktails after touching their hair, and grabbing glasses by the rim were all observed. One waiter was visibly consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the night, which added to a sense of unprofessionalism.

I rarely leave one stars. Maybe at one point, this was a great place. My visit was horrendous. There is a smell I found very unpleasant. The host and management were less than professional. The waitress was kind and apologetic. The food was disappointing. I'll stick with Gemma Fish & Oyster when I want good oysters.

It's been a while since I've been there, because I moved away from town. Now that I'm back, I'm looking forward to an opportunity to go. I have good memories of the comfortable, clean, and very pretty, lively outdoor patio, great service and outstanding food. At the time, about4 years ago, we were very pleased with the overall experience. Even parking was good. I admit it would be difficult for me to maneuver the walk from the parking lot to the front door by myself due to my handicap, but I doubt I'll pass up an opportunity to go again some time soon.

My son invited me his Grammy to lunch. This was the first time for all of us. He had been wanting to try oysters for over a year now, so he was able to order the dozen house oysters, half steamed and half raw. Also for starters, we had the crab stuffed mushrooms and sock it to me shrimp. All three were delicious, but the agreed favorite was the stuffed mushrooms. Mom and I had the fried fish sandwich which was simple with fries but delicious. I love a good fish sandwich. My son ordered the chicken piccata. He liked it, but agreed that it was more of a dinner type meal. The service was top tier. Alissa(sp) is an awesome waitress. So personable, available and a real professional. We had our lunch on the back patio which was very nicely set up with a fountain and greenery. We really enjoyed this visit. Sorry, no photos. I plan to visit again for brunch with my husband. Will remember to take pictures then.

Such a great little brunch spot! We made reservations for Easter and had seating in an inside room in the back with about four tables, which was really nice and secluded! The food was amazing and has such reasonable prices for the amount of food given. You also were able to get a mimosa for $1.50 or bloody mary for $3.00 if you purchased a meal. On top of your order, you also get a choice of fruit or a coffee cake. The coffee cake was fantastic and a must try. Our server was very friendly and provided great service. We will definitely be back!

It's been a while since I've come here for happy hour and it wasn't too bad. My friend and I were planning on sitting at the bar but got seated in a table in a corner instead. The food and drinks were good, but the service was pretty bad. Our order was messed up multiple times, we were given the wrong information (X side is unavailable but we can give you Y side. *Z side comes out instead and it turns out X side was very much available*). We also were charged non-happy hour prices for drinks as well as charged extra for the incorrect side that was brought out. When we brought it up to the waitress, she said she was sorry and that if we came back next time she would "make it up" to us.

I had made reservations here for a Saturday night. I was not very familiar with the area, but this restaurant came up on OpenTable and we decided to try it out. We were greeted as we walked in to a very busy restaurant. We thought this was going to be great since it was so busy...glad we got reservations! Our waiter Richard was very friendly and very attentive... hence the 2 stars. We ordered the special, which you can see in the photo. Main protein was a 10oz steak and those two crab cakes on top. The presentation of the steak was.... extremely underwhelming, but I decided to try it anyway. I ordered mine medium rare and my wife medium. She cut into hers after a few tries and it was raw on the inside. I cut mine in the middle and mine was slightly under a medium rare, but again I went with it. My wife sends hers back as I get to eating mine... I cut it from the edge only to find out it was... raw? On the edge? Very weird to me, so I ended up cutting around the steak and ever edge was raw. I ended up just not eating mine and my wife's, the second time around was also raw on the outsides... we just didn't eat our steaks and they comped us. What was good was the small crab cakes and the complimentary bread and butter. I look at the other photos of steaks and they have a good crust on them, but ours looked like they were cooked on a medium heat pan... We won't be coming back. But thankfully there's plenty of other options in Avondale.

Fantastic seafood, great service with a wonderful atmosphere. I really enjoyed everything I had here from the bisque to the key lime pie. Everything was prepared perfectly and on time. I really recommend the crab bisque. It's fresh and delicious.

My experience at Blue Fish was just bad all around. We had a 730pm reservation and still waited for about 20 minutes to be seated. Once our server came by about 10 minutes later, she seemed so frazzled that all she could do was offer us waters. In total we waited about 20-25 minutes for our orders to be taken, then another 20-30 for our food to arrive. When I first tried to order grouper, I was told she needed to check if they still had it...then she proceeded to wait on other tables before coming back to tell me they didn't (at least she also stopped to put in our appetizer order). I then asked if I order blackened snapper with red beans and rice but with vegetables instead of the sausage and crab. I was told I could. Then when the food arrives, I see the snapper prepared blackened exactly as the menu states without the substitutions I asked for. When I pointed it out the food runner, she asked our server then comes back and says "oh no, we can't change that." Well, it's ok if I can't, but then why was I told that I could? What if it had been a vegetarian requesting that change? The server later awkwardly checked on us to see if we were ok, but didn't acknowledge her blunder. The poor service would be more tolerable had the food been good, but it was nothing special. My favorite was the scallop appetizer special with sun dried tomatoes and bacon jam- really yummy though the portion was small. Putting aside that I didn't get the dish I ordered, my snapper still had a slight fishy taste and was pretty bland for being blackened-I can only imagine how much more bland it would've been had I ordered it grilled instead. The red beans and rice with the sausage had an unexpected risotto-like consistency but I enjoyed the flavor. We unknowingly went during Amplified Avondale so the whole neighborhood was busy, which explains why our server seemed stressed but that's not enough to justify giving customers incorrect information and bland food. Now about the ambiance. I needed to use the restroom while we waited and wow, the entrance is incredibly cramped, there's only one stall, and it overall just didn't look clean or kept up with, which was unsettling. The decor seems like it was trendy and cool once upon a time, but could use a major upgrade. Overall, my experience was incredibly underwhelming and I will not be returning.

Thanksgiving 2024 menu was amazing, lots of food and ended up w leftovers to take home. The desserts were not that good but Turkey and fish dish and sides delicious!

Went to Blue Fish for my first date, my anniversary, and later, to propose to my fiancé. Food is always outstanding. The fish is fresh and cooked perfectly, the sides are top notch (I'm partial to the french fries), and you have a variety of drinks to pick from. Most recently, as mentioned above, I proposed to my fiancé. The staff were marvelous. From Phil, who ensured the exact table we had our first date at was reserved, to the hosts for keeping it a secret and for Mary, our server, taking a video for me so that we could cherish the moment forever. From casual dining to a very special occasion, you will not be disappointed. Try the calamari if it's on special. So good.

I go to this restaurant about once a week. Great oysters at a reasonable price. Had one dozen. Last night had a whole snapper that was fried with jasmine rice and black beans. My other half and I split it and still had leftovers. Excellent. Richard was our server and he was friendly yet still very professional. Scott is a chef and he does an incredibly great job. Highly recommended.

So we haven't been in years - not sure why. Went last pm for happy hour. Sat at the bar. Had 3 doz raw Virginia oysters - $13 a dozen. Delicious. The shucker is a very nice lady. We will be back. Used to love their muscles as well. Happy hour only in bar area but it was packed, just like it always was pre-pandemic.

We live in the Avondale area and Bluefish has always been a choice for lunch with friends. I did a review about a year ago when the restaurant reduced the size of the portions and the quality. Recently I ordered the fish Tacos and my wife fish and chips. The fish and chips used to come with two good sized pieces of fish and chips in a container. Now small pieces of fish the size of your finger in the container with the fish. In the fish Taco a ton of coleslaw and a finger sized piece of fish. It is sad to see this good restaurant continue to decline. Oh, and the Fish Taco that used to come with Black beans and rice now comes with French fries, Tacos and fries ?

The steak and crab cakes were unseasoned and gristly, with the mashed potatoes tasting like boxed food. The crab cakes were cold and tasted like water, and the carrots were undercooked and unseasoned (literally hard). Despite returning the plate of undercooked food, the owner only refunded half because "the crab cake had a bite taken from them.." it's so small that it would take a bite to know it tasted terrible. The only right thing to do would have been comping the entire plate. We had previously frequented the place for oysters and drinks exclusively cause the foods consistently subpar, but we won't return until there's a new chef now. Now the service from the hostess, bar tenders, and wait staff are ALWAYS great, but the management and chef's performance were terrible. The fact that we paid $18 for a crap plate we didn't eat is crazy and then we had to go across the street to have a real meal at Biscotti's (foods great 100% of the time, HIGHLY recommend) save ur money and go to Biscotti's! Blue Fish get your kitchen in order

Everything went well. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The decor was nice and we were seated in a corner by the window that was quiet for conversation. The outside seating and gardens are lovely, but it was a bit warm and elected to stay inside. The server promptly took our drink and salad orders while we decided on entrees. She was very attentive on refilling drinks and checking on our table without us having to ask. Everything was absolutely cooked to perfection. The turkey, Mahi Mahi and NY strip were all super moist and tender. The only slight negative was the bordelaise sauce on the steak was a bit salty, but that's personal preference. This was a special Thanksgiving menu, but we definitely will try dinner and the weekend brunch. Definitely another Avondale gem.

We were in town visiting our family and decided to have dinner at this restaurant. Location: I'm not very familiar with the air but it's like a small downtown area. Located near cute boutique shops. Parking: We got lucky and found a spot Right in front of the restaurant, but parking is tough to find. Service: My cousin made the reservations and the service was ok. I wasn't impressed but it wasn't horrible. Ambience/Crowd: It's a family restaurant and has a nice atmosphere. Food/drink: 5/10 the food was not memorable I didn't enjoy the food. Will I be back? If I went back I would try something different. Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the food.

Our server, Alyssa S, was such a joy and guided us to the perfect lunch meal. I enjoyed the Crescent City Mahi. My lunch mate enjoyed the soup & salad. Both were perfectly yummy. Great lunch spot as the ambiance allows for conversation.

My favorite part about Blue Fish is the location, Avondale is hands down the cutest community in Jax and I love visiting the area often. The second thing I love about Blue Fish is their Happy Hour, some of the best specials in town. Today I visited with a friend for lunch for the first time and I ordered the shrimp and grits. I definitely missed the part of the menu where it discussed the spice level but luckily I enjoy a little spice. The grits were stone ground but still creamy, the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I understand the purpose of leaving the tail on but I still don't like it . Service was okay for bar seating, it was pretty meh not bad but not worth writing about. The restaurant was nice and quiet it's not aesthetically pleasing in my opinion and could use some updating. The outdoor seating however is beautiful

I came in today for brunch and it was so hot in the restaurant, it made the experience very uncomfortable! Not sure if it was a bad day or what. Otherwise, Blue Fish has a great brunch menu and it's one of my favorite places for brunch. I don't drink alcohol much but they have great deals on their cocktail menu especially their Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Sangrias, etc. On this visit, I ordered the lemon cod with capers, it came with grits and potatoes. I was really happy with my meal. It was very good and I cleaned my plate. During brunch they offer complimentary starters and dessert. I had the fresh fruit to start and ended with a snickerdoodle cookie and cheesecake brownie. Our server was really nice and we had a nice experience. But again, not sure what's going on but it was so hot in the restaurant, we were all sweating and fanning ourselves on a 100 degree day in Florida, it was not fun.

We enjoyed our food here but were not quite wowed. I liked the half and half oysters especially the ones with bacon and cheddar - seafood and cheese and uncommon combo I know but it worked! The key lime pie not pictured was very good. I liked the design and lighting of the restaurant. It was elevated and classy. The wine glasses that were not used were left on the table which awkwardly took up quite a bit of space.

We decided to try this restaurant on a whim, we didn't realize they were doing a brunch on the weekend but it was fantastic! The prices on drinks were amazing too. There was a complimentary buffet of cookies near our table, the kids(adults too) were very happy about that. Coming in here I was looking forward to oysters and maybe I'll be back for them later but the food was very good! The eggs bene was made perfect, sometimes the egg isn't made right but these were! Everyone enjoyed their meals!

Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and it did not disappoint!! Ordered an absolutely delicious and generously portioned crescent city mahi for myself, and my waiter supplied extra steamed veggies on the side: 9/10. Had their in-house key lime for dessert, delicious but extra whip would've taken it over the top: 8/10 Tried my friend's crab bisque and wasn't pleased whatsoever. Maybe if you like sherry, you would like it but overall: 1/10 Was loud in the dining room as well even though there weren't too many people there, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quiet evening, because even with us four at a round table, we had to lean in a bit and talk extra loud to hear each other well.

Great Raw Oysters four choices Outstanding service Great bartender Also added some sides that were very good Reasonable prices Very clean & nice ambiance Private parking lot WE WILL BE BACK AGAIN!

I'm a sucker for a restaurant that offers quality, quantity and value. The Blue Fish hit high on all three measures. My wife and I were in Jacksonville for a weekend watching our son play college baseball. Hadn't a clue where to go or what to do. A "What to Do in Jacksonville" article mentioned a funky area of restaurants and shops called Riverside/Avondale. Since we had all day prior to an evening game we made the 25 minute drive. Certainly glad we did! The Blue Fish served brunch and that's just what we desired. Our server Maddie recommended several items and better yet was honest when asked about one particular item, because she wasn't a banana fan meaning the Bananas Foster French Toast wasn't an item she would order. I settled on the Blue Fish Breakfast and my wife got the Steak n Eggs. All entrees come with a complimentary fruit cup or piece of "Donut Bread." The fruit was plentiful and fresh; the bread was just as described......a combination of butter pound cake and cinnamon bread. Fantastic. My wife's steak was perfectly cooked and a nice sized NY Strip. The breakfast potatoes were accented with red and green peppers and onion. Mmmm. The eggs (3) and bacon were perfect. Mine came with 2 waffles dipped in French toast batter, fried to a perfect golden brown. More than I needed but awesome. $1.50 Mimosas and $3.00 Bloody Mary's with any entree was the icing on the cake; or so I thought. After all this incredible food (mine was $18.50; my wife's was $22.00) Maddie lets us know that the meal comes with desert off the desert bar. Monster sized chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal raisin cookies were available or a chocolate cheesecake brownie completed the way more than ample offering. All in all the food was great; plentiful and the lagniappe (a Cajun term for "a little something extra") of desert and appetizer plus cocktail specially priced it was just a grand slam home run for us. It was so good we went back Sunday since it was so delicious and a safe bet. I would recommend the Blue Fish to anyone for brunch!

Our go to restaurant for special occasions and company. Great Happy hour, food and service. The restaurant has its own parking which is great for the area. Plenty of room inside with a private room for groups and a beautiful patio. Great oyster bar and appetizers. Love their fresh seafoods. We always leave satisfied.

Love specifically happy hour. They offer oyster, mussels, and other great bites. They also have a drink menu including martinis, margarita and wine. When you get there be sure to start with an oyster shorter. The bar staff is always great, and I always meet someone interesting. During great weather, I love the outside front or back patio.

We had reservations for 6 pm but the hostess said it was a 15 minute wait for everyone. Over 20 minutes later we got our table. The restaurant seemed short-staffed, but the manager stepped in and did a great job serving us. I ordered an espresso martini, which wasn't made correctly as you can see from the photo. The house oysters, however, were amazing and I highly recommend them. The lobster ravioli was disappointing - the veggies were slimy and the dish wasn't creamy. The pasta itself was just okay but in my opinion wasn't worth the $31. My boyfriend did enjoy his fish and chips. Overall, I'd only go back for the oysters during happy hour.

Lunch and happy hour with my friend. Cute day drinking date with my girl. Richard was great. He kept making us laugh. Drinks were great and we enjoyed the food. I was disappointed when my oyster po'boy came out with 4 measly oysters on it.

We had dinner at this restaurant on Valentine's Day and it was top notch. We enjoyed all of our food and appetizers. Everything was perfectly cooked and displayed and the taste was excellent. Coming from New Jersey where there are 1 million great restaurants, this restaurant definitely is great.Highly recommend! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very cute and inviting. Perfect for our family on Valentine's Day! The service was also incredible. We had an excellent waiter and he was very attentive and knowledgeable and kind.

What a special restaurant! After being seated, we were greeted by the sweetest waitress who really made our Saturday brunch special. First off, they give you free donut bread (like a sweet bread or pound cake) or fruit to start with which was yummy. On top of that, for brunch they have a deal where you can get mimosas for $1.50 if you buy an entree - what a deal! We had lots of people at our table so we had a lot to eat! First, the Shrimp and Crab Benedict ($21) with grits instead of potatoes - really good! They also make omelettes however you like them ($19) which someone ordered and said was yummy too. The Corned Beef Hash and Eggs ($18), which was raved about! They said that it was probably the best corned beef they've ever had. The Smoked Salmon Scramble ($20) was recommended by the waitress and very much enjoyed! The 1/2 Pound Shrimp Platter ($18) was good as well. Lastly, I had the Blackened Mahi and Jumbo Lump Crab ($22), which honestly I could've lived without. The mahi was quite dry and the crab on the dish was like a sprinkle lol. But I would definitely try something else and think I was the odd man out here. To finish everything off, they had complimentary desserts for all guests to enjoy - cookies, cupcakes, etc. Would love to be back, especially with the great and friendly service!

Love the service, food and staff! It's professionally ran and they always change the menu.

Came back here for dinner and absolutely loved it. We set at the back by little fountain and it was super cute. I chose curry sauce for my grouper fish. It was delicious. A bit on a spicy side, but I definitely enjoyed it!

Awful Experience. Our food took a very long time to arrive. Our orders were wrong, our drinks were never refilled, our dirty plates were never removed and the rare times our server came to the table, she was in a hurry. We ordered oysters that had Worms!! The Manager (who was not very pleasant) insisted that worms were normal for them and confirmed that they do not rinse or wash their Oysters (eat at your own risk). We used to frequent Blue Fish and it used to be our place for special occasions, not anymore. We won't be back.

The waiter had a great smile and was very personable. The taste of the food was excellent. I ordered the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were large and delicious. The dish had a good flavor and the blend of spices made for tasty bit not too spicy flavor. The ambience was very good. We had a seat that allowed some sunlight. Overall, an excellent experience. I expected to pay a higher price, but the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend commend this restaurant.

I would only recommend this restaurant to those seeking to have an amazing meal and superb attention by server. Hostess was a doll, immediately accommodated our group and server RICHARD IS AN ABSOLUTE delight! Richard is very professional who made stellar recommendations and attended to us as if we were family! Dishes that were over the top flavorful were the pan seared rainbow curry, key lime shrimp pasta, steak frites and the special pasta with shrimp and mussels. Dessert -- BREAD PUDDING! Must must try!!!

The food was delicious!!! We ordered the jambalaya for my hubby and I ordered the shrimp linguine. Both plates were delicious but what it took the 5 stars were the deserts. I got the crème brûlée and my husband the ice cream with brownie. Omg!!! We died and went to heaven!!! I cannot recommend this place more!! The prices were very decent, the ambiance great. Please try this place if you haven't. We will definitely come back.

The food was excellent and staff was very friendly. We had fried shrimp and the shrimp scampi. Overall was a great experience!

The service was amazing, I made reservations so I wouldn't have to wait. Parking is ridiculous as usual so come early to find parking or be prepared to walk. The deviled eggs with oysters on top was made to perfection, so good I ordered a side of fried oyster's and they did not disappoint! The steamed oysters was good and very fresh I had my steamed medium I should've went with well for my own personal preference. The oysters were very fresh in taste and cleaned well without grit in the shell. The entrees not so much, the fish and veggies needed more flavor. I added jumbo lump crab meat and it wasn't jumbo or worth the extra $6. Overall great ambience

Having visited the restaurant several times before, I was thrilled to have an anniversary lunch there. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed by this visit to Blue Fish. My raw oysters were poorly presented with very melted ice and the lemon swimming in the dirty water. My companion's steamed oysters were lukewarm at best. Our oyster po boys had four measly oysters, which weren't even warm. Perhaps we should not have visited during lunch, but I was so uninspired by the visit that I am unsure if a fourth visit is warranted.

Came to celebrate our mother's 93rd birthday. Our waitress, Olivia, was fantastic. Some of the best service we've received here! First time having the fried green tomatoes - delicious!

Everything was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfect. Ambiance was great too. Highly recommend

10/16/23. Greatly enjoyed our lunch here today; the only thing is its loud with conversation so table talk is hard...the acoustics of room I guess?? I got a seafood Cobb salad and it was delicious-nice and big with blackened,small shrimps, roasted grape tomatoes, corn crab mixture, hard boiled egg, crisp bacon and red onions and dressed perfect...not too wet or dry. I would definitely get this again. One on my friends got fried fish sandwich..big and crisp, another chic piccata, a shrimp,scallop Mac n cheese and lastly, big bowl of crab bisque. A perfect ending to a wonderful lunch, Judy told them it was my birthday so they brought out a big warm brownie with ice cream, Carmel/hot fudge sauce, strawberry...oh my..I shared! Thank you!

Went for a bite to eat and this place didn't disappoint! We sat outside and the service was top notch! Food was tasty. Nice breeze cam through as we sat outside, mood was nice!

Today is my birthday so me and my husband decided to try this place out. It was great food. He got the steak and ravioli and I got the Caribbean shrimp scampi, it was soooo good.

Truly enjoyed my dinner here on a Sunday night. I was visiting a friend from out of town when we stumbled upon this restaurant. They had a special menu for the evening so I believe the dishes that were on there aren't apart of the everyday menu. I had the steak and ravioli which was absolutely delicious and I didn't need any steak sauce. My favorite part was dessert. Please do yourself a favor and order the white chocolate bread pudding! Definitely one of the best bread pudding I've had. We also had the churros which were good but, we enjoyed the bread pudding more. Will definitely come to this restaurant again next time I am in Jacksonville.

This place feels like a great place to go for a date night. However the food is only ok and certain dishes are far better than others. I do prefer their happy hour over their regular menu just because the bartenders here are fun to talk to and are super attentive when sitting at the bar with them.

The food was excellent. We had sheepshead fish, locally caught and in season. A whitefish, very tender, flakey and buttery. Served over mashed potato, with a lovely stock, mussels , clams, asparagus. Delightful. Enjoyed PEI oysters as an appetizer. Excellent. Service and as very good. The drinks were nicely served but not to our liking- our choice so not a fault of the restaurant.

The decor is aged. The staff that attended to us was excellent:the hostess and waiter. However, we ordered the wagyu meatball and did not like it. The allegedly wagyu meatball was giving meatloaf on flavorless mashed potatoes. So I told our waiter "we weren't fans" and he took it back. Again, the waiter was great, but I guess my comment upset someone one the kitchen staff because someone came out mimicking my comment loudly enough so that I could hear them try to bully me across the entire restaurant, clearly upset. Which is truly the most unprofessional way of handling the fact that we did not like the one food item, that was clearly bot wagyu or absolutely ruined wagyu with no flavor despite the entire whole piece if garlic they put in the middle. But thankfully, my husband was away in the restroom and I am adult enough to ignore childish behavior and not spoil my date night out with my man. However, I still gave three stars because everything else was so good. The Sangria was nice. The steak was seasoned to perfection! the ravioli itself had a slight overcooked texture, but only barely perceivable because the sauce was sooooo good. And the dessert, bread pudding, I could have licked the plate! Overall, would go back, & hopefully they can get the young man in the kitchen some therapy to manage his emotions.

Great food selection, service and atmosphere! Prefer the outdoor patio seating over the front.

Always have a good time and everyone at the bar is super friendly. Great happy hour menu and great prices. They take their oysters very seriously! Sometimes can get pretty crowded / loud at the bar so be prepared :)
