Delicious!

by teamrococo at Citysearch

Had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that we were seated in the back area where the bar is, and it wasn't quite the atmosphere that we had hoped for.

However, the waiter was very attentive and happy to explain a few things on the menu. Oysters as an appetizer were very delicious. Bouillabaisse as entree was very satisfying. The plate didn't seem like that much, but after finishing it we realized it was the perfect portion.

The best in town!

This place is only the best restaurant in Jax! I bring all my "big city" friends from out-of-town here, and they are always impressed! The food runs the gamut from inexpensive burgers, salads & soups to fancy-pants foodie cravings like foie gras, quail and pates. Their wine list is really great too. The service is fantastic and totally not stuffy or pretentious like other restaurants of this caliber. The ambiance is warm and comfortable, with a down-tempo, ultra-hip vibe, but the place gets crowded on the weekends-so I recommend making reservations. The only downside is the tables are kind of close together in some places-think NYC dining. But trust me...its worth the trip!

• Pros: late night dining, great food, service
• Cons: crowded, parking
