Eleven South

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Eleven South while in Jacksonville. This is elevated dining without even a trace of pretension — the kind of place that manages to feel both refined and warmly inviting, a rare balance.. From the moment we were greeted to the final moments of our meal (we were, rather tellingly, the last to leave), the service was impeccable. Every detail was attended to with precision — our needs anticipated before we could voice them. The grilled octopus was perfectly prepared: tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour. The steak, however, was the true standout — robust, perfectly cooked, and rightly the house speciality. Their wine list is exceptional, thoughtfully curated, reflecting their deep knowledge and reverence for oenology. A small misstep — my salad was inadvertently left behind when I asked to have it boxed — was handled with such grace it deserves its own mention. Not only did our server and the manager offer sincere apologies, but a full-size replacement was quickly prepared boxed and packaged without hesitation. A completely unnecessary gesture, but one that speaks volumes about their commitment to hospitality. It’s this kind of care that transforms a lovely dinner into something truly memorable.

Five stars isn’t enough! Eleven South is hands down the best restaurant in Jacksonville Beach—no contest. I’ve been trying to get a dinner reservation forever (they’re always booked solid—so plan ahead!), but luckily I snagged a spot for lunch, and wow… absolutely worth the wait. Started with the Royal Red Shrimp appetizer and that sauce? Next level. My taste buds basically went into orbit. Then I had the catch of the day with a fresh salad, and every bite was perfection—fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Huge shoutout to our waiter, Taylor—he was fantastic! Super friendly, knew the menu like the back of his hand, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that makes all the difference. The vibe at Eleven South is upscale but laid-back, and everything—from the food to the service—is just on point. I’ll definitely be back (still on a mission for that dinner spot!). Eleven South, you’ve got yourself a lifelong fan.

Stopped in for a working lunch. Sat outside- was so nice, covered, and great atmosphere. Roasted golden beet and goat cheese salad was amazing! Fresh catch was cooked perfectly. My server, Erica, was so pleasant and fun and made the whole experience really special!

Chris was an exceptional server, and we loved the food so much, that we made a reservation for a second evening, before we leave Jacksonville. Try the Red Shrimp appetizer. This is one of the reasons we are coming back. It's stupid good. The Flounder was delicious too, so many different flavors on the plate, and they complemented each other wonderfully. Perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply going out to have a good meal.

One of the BEST dining experiences I’ve ever had. It was a 10/10 all the way around. It starts with having complimentary valet. We had a reservation for 7:45 and they took us right to our table when we arrived. We sat on their patio and the ambience was cute and romantic. Our waitress was Cindy and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable, professional and just had good vibes. We ordered the mussels, wagyu, and braised short rib and everything was so delicious. My water glass was always filled and empty plates removed immediately. We came for my birthday dinner and it was a great experience that I will always cherish.

The New York strip qe perfect. The Halibut special was delicious! Dessert was awesome!

Great for a lunch meeting or a special event. The service is second to none!! The cuisine has variations of surf or turf, which are spectacular. With indoor and alfresco options, 11 South is guaranteed to brighten your day or evening, Chris or Erica are exceptionally talented and knowledgeable servers.

Elevated dining squeezed in among the many beach style, seafood oriented, chain restaurants you find in a beach town. One of our favorite spots for a special occasion. Service was top notch as you would expect. Always get the special, the chefs are creative and skilled with regional ingredients.
