Guidebook for Jacksonville
Food Scene
Certainly one of the best restaurants in Jacksonville. You can’t go wrong here. Classic French menu, great raw bar items like oysters and crudo, housemade rillettes and pates, killer desserts. The Hericot Ver salad is incredible, as is the Steak Frites and Lobster Pot Pie. Just go.
