I also tried a piece of my friend's baked potato pizza. An unlikely combo but totally delicious! The setting is pleasant. The service is great!

I did get a takeout order of crème brûlée as a consolation for a friend who couldn't join me. YUM-O! Highly recommended‼‼‼

Midtown Table - My Second Visit Was Even Better Than the First!…read moreThis was my second time at Midtown Table and I'm officially hooked. The food and drinks are consistently great, and the vibe is perfect for a relaxed night out with friends. I went with four buddies and we basically turned the table into a family-style feast--everything we ordered was spot-on. We started with the meatballs and the Brussels sprouts as apps. Both were fantastic--the meatballs were juicy and packed with flavor, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of char and seasoning. For mains we split a couple of pizzas and the lasagna. The lasagna is rich and comforting, but the star for me was the Meats pizza. That thing was loaded and so good I'm still thinking about it. The crust was crisp, the sauce was bright, and the toppings were generous without being greasy. Last but not least, we ended with the house-made ice cream. Holy cow--to die for is an understatement. Creamy, super flavorful, and the perfect sweet note to finish the meal. I'm not even a huge dessert person and I was scraping the bowl. Service was friendly and attentive, the drinks were solid, and the whole evening felt like a win. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book a table. Midtown Table is the real deal--can't wait to go back for a third round! Highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Their cocktails are superb and very high-quality. The service is absolutely the best in the entire city that I have ever experienced. Not only was everybody friendly, but they were super excited about their experience and their products and were very willing to answer questions and provide any guidance we wanted. During our 90 minute visit, I'm certain they stopped at our table 4 or five times to check on us. It was not intrusive, it was part of the experience. We were blown away. When we left, our bill was reasonable, we felt we had a high-quality night out, and we made plans to 100% come back much more often. I just can't rate this place higher or speak more highly of it. Truly worthy of five stars. Thank you, Mayport Garden Club, for the justice that you do to your patrons, the world of tiki, and craft cocktails! Oh - food came from the pizza baker next door at Reve brewing. It had a slight burnt taste (wood fired? Coal fired?) but wasn't bad overall. The cocktails and great service and atmosphere are front-and-center here!!

While reservations are required, Laura the owner , was gracious enough to let us get transported to this wonderful place you see here. First off, this place is everything! The details from ceiling to wall to all the fixtures, it's very immersive, you are in the islands sir or ma'am! Goodbye Jacksonville! We were seated up front where performer Kalani Rose set the mood and infused the air with her lovely voice. The tempo was upbeat, the volume was just right, allowing for intimate conversation and lively chatter alike. Great for date nights and group outings. We ordered food including Aloha Sliders, Huli Huli Wings , and Furikake Fries. Food was good, would've loved more of the glaze on the mini burgers tho! The drinks we ordered included Mai Tai (rum based w/ orange ) and Halekulani (bourbon with pineapple orange and lemon) , these were delicious. A bit on pricey side but strong! But, you're paying for the presentation and the atmosphere! If you've ever been to the old tiki lounge off baymeadows from years past, this one is much better! The entire staff is so cool.

Just some information to know it is primarily a bar, they only have about 6 appetizers to order from. The appetizers were good and came out very quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was the amount of times they put food down at our table we did not order after about the 3rd or 4th time of this happening it seemed to be something they do to up the bill in hopes you don't notice. The second thing that thoroughly surprised and bothered me was after ordering another round of drinks, the second the drink was put at our table the waitress came over to check us out. No one had asked for the bill so we were all confused as to why we were being told we needed to close out, especially since we had just ordered more drinks. The waitress tells our party they have another reservation coming and they need our table... We all scramble quickly to leave so there's no issue and once we were outside that's when we realized there was no time limit on our table nor did anyone ask to close out the tab. Thankfully the hula dancers and our own group made the experience great however this place is very clearly a money grab and should not be accepting more reservations than can be handled as it completely ruined the end of our experience.

I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

I went when they had the house band, pretty good music, nice easy environment, wasn't too crowded…read more I don't drink so I can't speak for that, I came for the music. The house band is pretty good, a little bit on the young side, but they seem to get the job done. OK. After the house being played a set, they had a sit in sessions with various musicians, which is always nice. The atmosphere is subtle and quiet at least for a club. Location is great, and the staff seemed friendly. It's good to have a place in Jacksonville with an environment like this and a place where you can go and listen to jazz/blues. I wish there was more like this, maybe with a little bit of older, jazz, musicians and more people who appreciate jazz as it didn't seem like the audience was 100% jazz lovers, but that doesn't detract too much especially since there's not a lot of places in Jacksonville that do what they're doing here.

What really sets this place apart is the personal touch--the chef comes out to greet guests, makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal, and takes the time to get to know his customers. His kindness and passion for the food create a welcoming atmosphere that is hard to find. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and has great vibes, making it perfect for an intimate dining experience. If you're planning to come with a larger group, I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Families with young children will appreciate the thoughtful touches as well. They provide crayons and paper to keep little ones entertained while waiting for their meal. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a warm atmosphere--I highly recommend this place!

The prices were extremely reasonable as well. Staff make you feel right at home. We needed help deciding on a few things and they didn't hesitate to jump in and help. Very nice.
