River & Post

From the moment we walked into River and Post, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a vibe that felt both upscale and comfortable at the same time. Our server set the tone right away with genuine care and attentiveness — not just polite, but truly engaged in making sure we had the best experience possible. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish came out beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You could tell there was thought put into each flavor profile, and the balance between textures and seasonings was spot on. It wasn’t just a meal, it felt like a well-crafted dining experience. What stood out most was the consistency — attentive service from start to finish, perfectly timed courses, and a kitchen that clearly knows how to execute. It’s rare to find a place where great food and outstanding hospitality go hand in hand so seamlessly. River and Post has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the food, service, and atmosphere all come together perfectly, this is the place to be.

I took my Wife here for a Date Night and IM SO HAPPY I DID!! This is an amazing place. Me and my wife ate downstairs at the restaurant. We decided to eat at the bar so we can have a drink and the food was pretty good as well. I really enjoyed my steak and calamari✅😋😋and my wife really liked her food it was some kind of fish dish. I really don’t remember the name, but I just remember it being good when I tasted it.lol AND THEY DID HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! And afterwards we got on the elevator to go to their rooftop and the view of Jacksonville is beautiful and they have these lounge sitting area areas where you can sit down have drinks, relax look at the view mingle with some people up there and we did all of the above we met new friends had good drinks!!! IF YOUR IN JACKSONVILLE CHECK IT OUT!! ✅✅👍🏽

The view was amazing. The food is just appetizers if you sit roof top. We got the fish dip and buffalo chicken pizza. Yumm 😋The drinks are delicious. Our server Laura was perfect. ⭐️

The environment is noisy but you can still hold a table conversation inside. The onion rings were probably the best we have ever had and the mustard sauce they serve with them is a game changer. I got the Grouper Special with tomato risotto, shrimp, and oysters. It was phenomenal. Their portions are generous and their breading in fried items was minimal, yet just enough.

Just phenomenal! From the friendly hosts and service (& the view) on the roof and in the restaurant to beautiful drinks and food. This place is a gem. Our server Owen was fabulously friendly and welcoming. She was attentive and just all around wonderful. I eat mostly plant based foods and I don't drink alcohol (barrel of fun, I know- lol) so I was really pleased to see a great selection of vegan dishes and mocktails. I had the vegan crab cakes and a lavender haze - both soooo delicious. My family also enjoyed the Broiled Market oysters with chorizo, onion rings for an app plus the Halibut special and New York strip Marsala.You guys are really killing it! I can not wait to come back. Highly highly recommend! Don't miss this place while in Jax.

Honestly me and my Wife loved this place. We ate down Stairs in the restaurant area, Which was very nice. We decided to eat at the bar area to enjoy their food and a cocktail drink. The food was pretty good. I really did enjoy my Steak!! My wife really enjoyed her meal as well. I don’t remember the name, but I know it was like a fish dish. Oh they have some really good calamari 👍🏽✅ But you most go check out the roof top setting. That’s where we had the most fun. The view of Downtown Jacksonville Is amazing and the vibe was everything. We had drinks met new friends, it was very cool. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you experience it. They have these seating areas that’s comfortable if it’s not overcrowded. You can kick back and just enjoy!! Definitely perfect for a date night or a fun night with friends.

We dined here for our wedding anniversary and we were very impressed with everything about the experience. We began by dining downstairs in the restaurant, we ordered the crabcakes and the grilled Black Angus ribeye, both of which were fresh and cooked perfectly. We tried a few of the cocktails, but I highly recommend the Mockingbird and my husband recommends the smoked Old Fashioned. We finished by enjoying drinks and the beautiful views from the rooftop lounge. The servers were friendly and attentive, all around great experience.

This was our second time at River & Post, but our first time trying their brunch, and it did not disappoint! I went with the Ultimate Brunch Burger and can honestly say it was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. My wife had the huevos rancheros, which she really enjoyed, though a little heads-up that it’s a shareable plate would’ve been nice. Between this brunch experience and our first visit for rooftop dinner, River & Post continues to impress us. We’ll definitely be back!

Celebrating my birthday here was one for the books. Our server was in the top tier I've ever had, which only added to our dinner. The appetizers of dynamite shrimp and fried goat cheese could have been the meal. But we pressed on for pork chop and scallops. Both were cooked to perfection and jammed with flavor that paired so well. We ended with the brownie sundae and a candle blowout for me. We retired to the rooftop bar for some adult beverages and jaw dropping views of the city and river. The weather cooperated and magnified the ambiance. Highly recommend coming here for date night and special occasions.

First the good. Pretty interior but a bit misleading that you have roof top dining. The roof top is separate venue and signs are not clear on how to get to it. We opted to just sit in the ground floor restaurant. The service is quick, attentive and friendly. The portions are adequate and entrees come with one side. We split the $17 dynamite shrimp appetizer and enjoyed it. I ordered the $15 El Coquito cocktail with rum, coconut milk and pineapple - it was very good. Now the mediocre and could be improved: parking is difficult - we arrived at 5pm and were lucky to get a street parking spot. For the prices charged, we were expecting gourmet food - I ordered medium rare New York strip with mushroom asparagus risotto for $39. It was cooked medium but I did not send it back - my fault, but I hate sending things back and it was at least still pink inside. The meat was flavorful but very tough and a lot of sinew. I ate the middle portion that was cooked less than the ends. About 25% of the steak was sinew I cut away and left on my plate. The mushrooms and asparagus in the risotto were crunchy hard - barely cooked and raw veggie consistency. Almost as though they forgot to add them and tossed in raw at last minute. My husband ordered the R&P burger 1/2 pound with fries for $19. He enjoyed the burger but fries were on the burnt edge side and thick cut with a lot of salty seasoning - he only ate a few. Our bill came to $100.81 without tip for two of us splitting an appetizer, one cocktail, one soda, one main entree and one sandwich entree. If we had been dining rooftop with a view, it may have been worth it. But prices are too steep for mediocre food. Maybe worth going only to rooftop for a drink and appetizer.

River & Post was OK for us. I liked the restaurant itself, the atmosphere, the service, the decor etc... what I am not crazy about is the food, unfortunately. Hubby and I recently had dinner there. We started with a couple of cocktails - I had the Candy Heart (tasty) and hubby tried the Sazerac (good). We shared calamari as appey (meh). For entrees, I tried their sea scallops dish and hubby tried the Bouillabaisse. While both dishes sounded good, they were disappointing to us. The Bouillabaisse was surprisingly bland for a bowl piled with seafood. My scallops dish was ok. Scallops only seared on one side only but still tasted ok. What I didn't really care for was the taste of the sweet pea risotto, which is probably more of a preference thing. So overall we had a decent time for a date night kind of dinner experience, but ultimately did not find their food exciting. It might be a great hang out place to have a couple of beer or cocktail with some shareable because the restaurant itself does have a great atmosphere.

A lot of people in Jax love this restaurant and recommend it, but I don't know it fell kind of short for me. The service was amazing, the ambiance very nice, but the food not so good. The items on the plate didn't really come together has one good cohesive dish. I felt like every thing had to be eaten separately. If I went back it would be to network and for the rooftop bar (drinks only).

We had a great time here. My bouillabaisse was so good and filling! I had a great cocktail that was recommended by our waitress. Check out the rooftop for excellent views of Jacksonville. Can't wait to return

Brunch was amazing! Everyone gets their own individual iPad to peruse the menu. I had the Summit to sip on and it was delicious! Everyone's food came out fresh, hot, and perfectly plated. Our server (Brett) was so friendly, very helpful, and most importantly patient with a table of opinionated women! Rooftop bar was a great extension to a relaxing day!

Very pleased with this restaurant and coming here for the first time. The staff was friendly and the waiter was very nice. The restaurant itself had a good amount of seating. You could choose from the bar, tabletop, or even eat on the rooftop. The food was amazing as well and was very flavorful. I appreciated on the menu that it showed pictures of the food so you could see what eat item looked like and as well list the types of food restrictions so people with allergies can know what to stay away from and what was safe to eat.

Oh my goodness. The food was incredible. We got the fried goat cheese appetizer and I can't recommend it highly enough!!! We split the crispy salmon and the NY strip- so delicious. The drinks were great too! Our server, Jess, made excellent recommendations and was so great!! We sat inside and it makes for a lovely backdrop for date night! It's a little spendy, so maybe not an every night spot, but perfect for an occasion!

Oh my my my my....in town to visit some friends and we opted for this location based on the views and food. So glad that we did! Me and two friends opted to get our own entree and share the lemon ricotta pancakes and sweet baby the plate was huge! Not pictured is the lobster Benedict which was exceptional. My friends both enjoyed their entrees of the breakfast platter and regular eggs Benedict. Let's not forget to mention the $3 mimosas!!!!! Great customer service, great food and location as well! Highly recommend!

River and Post features good food for brunch, great drink selections, and perhaps one of the best atmospheres of any restaurant in the Jacksonville area. The staff and service have always been stellar on our visits as well. This is a Riverside staple and a must visit if you're in the area. One of the better brunch experiences in the area. Only opportunity here is the price point. You are paying for that atmosphere and service and it's not outrageous by any means but some brunch dishes are better than others. I do highly recommend the Papas Bravas.

I went to River and Post for a quick bite to eat with some friends. We all ordered different foods but I selected the calamari appetizer and it was pretty disappointing. It was extremely tough and under seasoned. Some friends did order cocktails and I specifically remember one raving about her lemon drop. I also had a bite of the fish dip that was being shared around the table and that was also really good! My only other complaint would be that another staff member had tossed a saucer down on the table, after I asked for an extra sauce, and just walked away without any warning or words. It was rude and unnecessary but I always extend grace because maybe he was just having a rough day. It just caught me all the way off guard; but the person who truly made the experience was the server and she definitely deserves her praises! I wish I could remember her name but she had glasses and brown hair and was so kind and helpful!

The rooftop view is beautiful in the day and at night! Great food when you have lunch or dinner on the first floor. The rooftop opens up later in the afternoon and there is a separate menu that has late night plates and drinks.

Beautiful restaurant with a wide range of menu options. We stopped in at the rooftop lounge for a drink before our reservations. Gorgeous views and great drinks. Our meal we delicious, we started with dynamite shrimp, it was a good size portion for 4 people. Our mains were, the chef special (halibut), crab cakes, salmon and the filet mignon. All were perfectly prepared and well portioned. I highly recommend!

Thank you so much to the Sabrina and all of the staff for lunch yesterday (Thursday)! This was my first lunch experience here & so happy to see this place is just great across the board! We had so much fun and wishing you all an amazing Christmas season! Fine dining without the stuffiness! The lobster salad and shrimp po boy! The Smokey old fashioned... 10s across the board!

A river post the food was delicious and the views from the upper patio was beautiful. My sister is a vegetarian and she had very good options and enjoyed her food as well. The service was good and our server was very knowledgeable and what he didn't know. He was very frank and honest about his experiences as he was not a Jacksonville native overall our experience with a seven out of 10

Coolest place on JAX hands down! Celebrated a friend's birthday and we had a great time. Great food, great service, great drinks! Everything we order was GREAT! There was one dessert, i forgot to take a pic but that vanilla cake was 10/10 Rooftop bar has killer views ! Just keep in mind rooftop menu and restaurant menu completely different.

It's been a while since we last visited and we made sure to reserve a table ahead since we were told previously it is needed for weekend brunch. The inside dining area is beautiful and our table right next to a window had a nice view. Tablet menus were great and we were able to order quickly. Both our entrees were ready pretty quickly, which was not surprising since the restaurant seemed pretty empty for 1:30pm on a Saturday. My salmon salad was good and my husband's lunch was good as well, just nothing that wowed us. Service and ambiance was excellent.

This is places becoming one of my favorite places! We decided to come back here at night and check out the view and the atmosphere and we were not disappointed! The view from the rooftop was beautiful, seeing downtown Jacksonville at night was absolutely stunning, the appetizers were on point the drinks that they serve recommended were really good and she was really friendly. So we were to enjoy ourselves. I would definitely recommend this place if you just wanna go out for a night and chill and you're not really into going out to clubs and dancing.

We came here for brunch on our anniversary, mainly because the mimosas were $3 each. That being said, they don't really skimp on their entree prices. But why would they when the food is up to par? I ordered the eggs Benedict over a crispy potato cake. I was satisfied with that but then I tasted my husbands steak tostada and it was out of this world! Wow!! I won't be ordering anything else for brunch there in the future, so delicious! The drinks were great too

Service and food were amazing. Food delicious. Cute lunch spot. In an area of limited parking there is plenty of parking out back.

We celebrated a birthday with friends in the restaurant downstairs and had excellent service. The food was excellent. I'm not usually a huge fan of seafood but I decided to go for the Broiled Ocean platter and was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and well prepared everything was. Our various drinks were also made well with nice garnishing and presented nicely. This is my second visit to R&P and I can definitely say we will be back on repeat! The ambiance downstairs was nice and allowed for intimate conversation in the extra large booth between our group of 6 even though the restaurant was busy. We were still able to converse comfortably.

Conveniently located in the first floor of an office building with options to eat downstairs or on the rooftop that opens after 4pm. Our server was super sweet and very attentive. There are plenty of options to order from on the vast menu that is presented on a tablet. The portions are big so plan on taking home leftovers.

Brooklyn Pizza 3.5/5. Crust 4/5. Toppings 4/5. Sauce 3/5. Size & Value 3/5. Great crisp and undercarriage with well balanced toppings, perfect on a nice evening looking at the river!

Really solid place for breakfast and brunch in the Five Points area of Jacksonville! Love the overall aesthetics and ambiance of this place. Service is friendly and efficient as well. I tried the potato latkes with smoked salmon and was not disappointed. The portion size is huge! The potato latkes was crispy on the outside and was a great vehicle for the smoked salmon. They were also really generous with the smoked salmon, with nice thick slices. The sour cream drizzle was a great complement to the dish as well. Overall, excellent place. Parking can be a bit tight and limited, but well worth it if you can come here :)

Food: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 For the price, I would expect a consistent food quality; however, some dishes can be underwhelming. Servers are friendly but can be doubled up on tables so wait times can be longer. Great ambiance and amazing view on the roof.

I came here for brunch and was very impressed with the food! Their brunch is the best of what they offer, in my opinion. The fried oysters were delicious and I definitely recommend getting these. It'a going to be a staple for me. I was a bit disappointed that I was offered extra hush puppies in place of the cole slaw but was given extra fries in place of it instead. The steak and eggs were also good, though I asked for it to be cooked medium and it was a bit on the rare side. Some pieces were less cooked than medium rare. I also asked for no sour cream, but they gave it to me anyways, unfortunately. The brunch food is great, but the brunch service could use some work considering we had more than 1 mishap with our orders.

Ate here over the weekend for some high quality food here in Jacksonville and was greeted with a fairly angry waiter. I was not going to let them ruin my day with their attitude. The food ended up being good per usual. I do enjoy coming here besides this occurrence.

Great food with a good view. Recommend to some friends and it became their regular date night spot.

Yummy! I was so excited to finally have the time and perfect company to visit. Upon entry we headed upstairs but decided the rooftop menu although intriguing was not what we wanted. Back downstairs and a patio table in 15 minutes. We were greeted by Jacob our waiter for the afternoon. He was accommodating, personable and oh so handsome! We started with beer, bourbon and a mimosa! Orders came later. Salmon Sakad, Frittata and Eggs Benedict were the decisions. Food arrived with a hiccup but was quickly resolved. Having our server took all the blame instead of blaming the kitchen. So commendable. Food was delicious, patio was so enjoyable and drinks delicious!

Went there for a romantic dinner with my spouse and the calamari and drinks we had we great. But when it came to our entree everything was over salted. The ambience and conversation was delightful. Just wish that the entree wasn't salty.

Called ahead to make sure we could bring my pup and my friend brought her cat they were more than accommodating. We enjoyed the goat cheese balls with hot honey and pistachio as well as the pistachio crème brûlée which were both delicious. The patio is great on the bottom floor under that huge tree with the hanging lights. Definitely one of our favorite spots still.

Very disappointed,My medium ribeye steak was char grill to where the fat part was bitter. I was told by the staff that" the chef "stated that because of the burner they used to charcoal grill the steak,there's no way they could make the steak not burnt. I've had charcoal steak else where before that the steak fat wasn't burnt and leave terrible bitter taste as I did this evening. I came and look forward to a nice juicy fatty ribeye and was very disappointed. So if you want a good steak look else where I would hate for someone who like their steak well done to taste like coals if they can't make a medium steak right . On the other note Also had crab cake and scallops, which was pretty tasty. My friend had shrimp and lobster pasta . We will definitely won't be back. It was definitely an experience........

Food was great, good portions, respectable pricing. Server was newer, admittedly did not like brunch, and couldn't provide recommendations... overall great spot!

Came here with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day & it was so lovely! Very casual, yet lively atmosphere. The menu is on an iPad, which was pretty cool, and the food was delicious. We both got steaks. And for the appetizer we got the chorizo dish (so yummy! I do wish there was more bread to dip though). Our waiter was kind & attentive. After we went up to the rooftop and had some yummy drinks and our waitress was very sweet. Will definitely go back!

The rooftop area is such a nice place for a happy hour or other get together. We only got to have the pizza but it was delicious. There were quite a few items that were listed on the menu that looked great and even more dishes we saw get served at other tables that looked good from afar. I recommend the rooftop area, and the little nook off the to the side has a little less wind than the main area.

Very nice atmosphere, as I remember. A bit pricey but food & service were great. Only issue we had was the location but no big issue at all.

Nice environment, I want to try eating upstairs on the rooftop next time. Came for brunch and it was ok, nothing jaw-dropping but it was could, friendly waitress. Would come back to try their rooftop seating and try out their veggie burger.

River and Post Rooftop Restaurant offers excellent views of the St John's River. It's very open and there are misting nozzles to help cool the patrons. Note: this is an outside covered restaurant and there is no air conditioning. I ordered the cheese plate. This has a variety of 4 cheeses, local honey comb, fresh fruit, and crisp bread similar to Friselle or Crostini. The plate was $22, kind of pricey in my opinion. The Sangria was fruity and perfect for the heat of the day. I would note that one of the 4 cheeses had a very hot red pepper that literally feels like your mouth is on fire. Also when I asked to pay the bill, they used a portable scanner to collect the payment. I asked for a receipt and the server said she would print it out and bring it to the table but it never arrived and I never saw her again afterwards. I read several other reviews of this restaurant and I'm inclined to also agree that the service is the one area that needs to be better. Lastly, they shouldn't serve spicy cheese without a warning because for some people that could have disastrous results. 3 Stars.

Man oh man. This was an epic night to celebrate my buddies wife's birthday. The weather wasn't the best but it turned out to be great. We had a 1815 reservation which we were promptly seated on time. Our server was great and very attentive. We were a party of 8, and she handled it like a boss. Everything came out as fast as possible. There were various things on the table, I enjoyed some oysters, I got the seared ahi and added scallops, someone ordered bang bang shrimp, I think I seen the infamous scallop risotto, a ribeye steak...everything was amazing. Although you're gonna spend some money here..:it's definitely worth it. Once dinner was done, we went upstairs to the rooftop and enjoyed more cocktails ...and that's how the night ended. I'm sure I'll be back.

Came here with a friend for lunch and we both got the lobster roll. It was very good just small. My friend was still hungry after eating his serving that he had to get food after we left. The raw oysters were good too, however I was wanting a mignonette sauce with them. I wasn't sure if they served it, but the person dropped them off quickly and practically ran away from the table so I couldn't ask him. I then tried multiple times to get my waiter's attention, but he never came. During our entire time seated. He came to us only 4 times, (1: water/drinks. 2: food order. 3: "checkin" but our food was already eaten. You're supposed to do this when guests receive their food so you can see if they need anything - which we did. 4: to drop off the checks). There was really no excuse for this as the restaurant wasn't busy AT ALL. He also had two tables in front of us and frequented them consistently. I was watching him because I had a request, and one time he was about to walk past our table so I tried to get his attention, we locked eyes and I said excuse me, but he immediately turned back around and walked the other way to avoid having to come to us. I had to end up just eating my oysters without the mignonette or even finding out if they had any. The location was great, the food was good, the drinks were alright, and the customer service was definitely lacking.

We went for Sunday brunch while in Jacksonville visiting family. There was about a 15 minute wait when we got there and then the place filled up quickly, so plan accordingly! The brunch menu is amazing. I wanted one of each. Between the three of us, we got the bread pudding French toast, potato pancakes with smoked salmon, and the huevos rancheros. All three were delicious, with huge portion sizes. The atmosphere was casual. It gets a bit noisy, but not overbearingly so. The host and wait staff were all very friendly and efficient. Our food also came relatively quickly despite how busy the place had gotten. Highly recommended! Just plan ahead on timing or check for reservations if going for brunch.

River & Post Riverside (brunch hours) after thoughts: place is spacious & clean from entry to our seats. Hostesses were nice & welcoming which starts for a positive experience. Brunch seasonal adult beverage menu offers many to select from. Our Waitress was Sabrina who was very nice & took her time to answer our questions & kindly offered her recommendations when she was asked. Brunch menu had new options & I selected the "Lobster Eggs Benedict with the sauce on the side" & ordered a side of fries that we wanted as a starter appetizer. Fries served with a side of ketchup were good that had both crunchy & delicate servings. Lobster Benedict was fantastic; poached eggs & good portion of lobster were cooked to perfection, and English muffin was toasted well. I truly enjoyed this dish & its special hollandaise sauce with touch of hot sauce truly enhanced the entire dish. Desserts ordered: Miss Lisa's Bee Sting (cake) & Pumpkin cheesecake - cake was good with many elements that added substance to each bite. Cheesecake was poorly made - pumpkin flavor was barely tasted & the 50-50 ratio of cheesecake to crust was not correct. Crust was too think & took away from the enjoyment of the cheesecake which should have been the center of the dessert. Celebrating our Friend's Birthday here was enjoyable & having good service & good food made for a memorable experience we all will remember. BRUNCH MUST TRY. of 5 (4 of 5). 10-20-2024

party of 7 on 5/01 for 11:45. Seated & got water soon after along w menus. Ordered food & drinks. Place very noisy & busy. Drinks come. Waited...... i ordered burger (never asked how i wanted). Finally rec'd.........fries basically old & very overcooked. Burger had the grease all on the patty. water refills were few, asked twice for straws, basically no attention paid to group. Then asked how we were paying, individual tickets. When removing my plate with most of meal remaining,she asked if i wanted a box? No this food is terrible. Smile & took plate away! Another said her food was overcooked.....& her plate was removed too. No, I'm sorry, nothing! We said our past lunches there were very good, little expensive but we were pleased! Won't be coming back!! Poor service, poor quality of food & LOUD.

Went to brunch with a group of friends, since we arrived our server was very friendly, our food was delicious and the $3 mimosas were great as well. I ordered the steak tostada which was delicious then we went to the rooftop they had live music which was very nice and at a perfect volume to enjoy the music and still be able to have a conversation. Great place for a Sunday brunch and afternoon with friends.

The dim lighting and music made the energy very romantic. I ate here for my 5 year anniversary. I did make reservations for the rooftop and they confirmed this with me but then I got sat in a small table by the window looking out at the street. I then found out the rooftop was just a free for all walk in area. That's the only reason I gave 4 but the martinis and food were beyond delicious!! Their menus are on a tablet with picture which was also very cool. The only thing is that the tables are all very close together.

This is a cool place for a nice dinner date! The food and service have been impeccable when I've visited the establishment. I last ordered the roasted chicken and while this sounds rather basic, it was delicious.....very juicy!! To top off the dinner date, don't forget to visit the rooftop bar! The rooftop does get crowded on date nights so you might want to get there early!! Such a nice part of Jacksonville......the views and the food!

Lunch with several people and was delicious! We actually sat outside and I had the shrimp Po Boy sandwich. Came with hand cut fries. Was really really good. Would definitely return.

The food was not that good and the prices were extremely high. They have happy hour drinks but you have to SIT at the bar to get the happy hour drinks. They don't give bread or anything while you wait for your food. Overall not a great restaurant food wise. Only good thing is the area and the view on the rooftop. But if you want good food in this area go to Anejo

Such great vibes at the both the floor and rooftop levels. Menu has something for everyone and always tastes great
