Wow wow wow!!!
The experience at Eleven South was 5 stars plus!
I made reservations online and arrived early. Without wait, I was seated in the outdoor area which is super cozy and would make a great meeting spot for a date or special occasion (and judging by the many couples that night, locals know and appreciate this already).
Superstar waiter Jeremy patiently and passionately explained the menu and specials to me, providing expert guidance and recommendations. He was so friendly and accommodating, it felt like we're friends, which I love because going to a fancy restaurant alone always feels a little awkward.
I ordered a drink to start and the Burrata Caprese appetizer. Jeremy made me aware that you can add items to your order and since he spoke so highly of the scallops I decided to add two to the salad. The presentation is beautiful and holy smokes - this must have been the BEST Burrata I've ever had (I'm a cheese lover and had plenty!). It's locally made and so melt-in-your-mouth I enjoyed it all. The scallops were fantastic, tomatoes fresh and ripe, but that cheese stole the show in the best way possible!
For my main course, I went with the duck breast which was wonderful. Flavors are layered and complex, allowing all ingredients to shine through thoroughly.
For dessert, I went out with a bang (cause why not), and ordered the Aztec Martini (yowza! Delicious!) and the peach cheesecake. Delightful!!!
Throughout the evening, Jeremy checked in with me, asking about timing preferences for my courses and if everything was to my liking (clearly, YES!).
Overall, an evening to remember and certainly a spot to return to when I'm in Jacksonville the next time.
