SNAP-SHOT: The absolute best Gyro's in Mayport, FL!! Also,…read moredon't sleep on their pizzas. 4.5 Stars THE REVIEW: I typically eat chicken, beef, or lamb gyros (10/10). The pita bread is soft but durable enough not to fall apart because of the delicious tzatziki sauce lathered around the lettuce. The pizza was solid (8/10) for the area, given that some authentic Italian spots are minutes from this place. The fries were good (8/10), and the wings were okay (7/10). MY RECOMMENDATIONS: The competition for Italian and American food is too steep to invest much effort into improving pizza and fries. For the wings, master the cook to avoid the chewiness, and they should hold up fine against the other major pizza franchises (Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's).

I stumbled into Just Kitchen by accident while looking for a different restaurant that had closed…read more-- turns out it was a happy coincidence because I happened to be craving a chicken shawarma wrap. Ordering was simple and convenient with a touchscreen setup at the counter, though I do think having a menu posted on the wall would make it even easier for first-time visitors. The wrap itself was huge, which was a nice surprise. Visually, it looked great -- definitely Instagram-worthy. But taste-wise, it didn't quite live up to the presentation. The chicken was a bit tough and messy to eat, and I only made it through half before calling it quits. The space itself was minimalistic in decor. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but it probably won't return.

Stepped in here with my friend for a good cup of tea and was immediately impressed. The atmosphere…read moreis phenomenal and the decor is delightful. When you walk in the owner is often the one to great you, the cash register to the left of the entrance, and a lovely assortment of trinkets to the right. The food itself was nice and light. I enjoyed the Knafeh. We also got an assortment of drinks. My personal favorite was the Salep (like a more savory creamier hot chocolate, hold the chocolate). The masala chai was a decent price for a pot and had a delightful flavor, I've since taken multiple people and a variety of different pallettes enjoy the flavor. This is a great date spot, but also low key enough to just enjoy if you want a place to relax, there's a small bookshelf if you wanted to un plug and read while you enjoy your tea. Ps. The owner is a professional guitarist, my friend who is also a professional musician has a wonderful time chatting with him about their shared passions.

Cute, Vibrant & Such a Unique Experience!…read more Gahwa Cafe was such a cute Turkish coffee spot! I had never experienced Turkish coffee like this before, so it was a whole new experience for me. The owner was so attentive and welcoming, and one of my favorite parts was getting to see him show us how they make the Turkish espresso in hot sand! I had never seen anything like it, and it made the experience feel so much more special. And let me tell you...the Turkish espresso was AMAZING! The flavor was rich, smooth, and honestly just perfect. Definitely my favorite part of the experience. We also tried the pistachio baklava, and it was tasty! The food was good overall. Since this was my first time trying Turkish food, some of the flavors were definitely new to my palate, but I enjoyed getting to try something different. The café itself is vibrant, colorful, and full of character, but when we went, it was just us, so it was also super quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed the ambience. They even have a hookah area, which adds another fun element to the experience. The only downside for us is that it's pretty far from where we live, so I'm not sure I'd make the trip again just for the café. But if you're already in the area or live nearby, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Turkish Espresso: 10/10 Pistachio Baklava: Tasty Ambience: Vibrant + peaceful Service: Attentive Experience: Unique & memorable Cute spot, great vibes, and definitely glad we tried it!

I've been curious about this place for a while, but I felt awkward going to a restaurant when I have no reason to go to the medical facility. My wife and I decided to go out of our way and visit this restaurant, I can clearly say that I would have enjoyed it greatly weather in a downtown neighborhood anywhere in America or inside the Mayo clinic. The staff was incredibly friendly, from the front desk reception team to our server, Kaely. Everyone was efficient and enthusiastic, and very helpful throughout. I had the pappardelle with the short rib and it was absolutely excellent. My wife had the shrimp etouffee and enjoyed it greatly as well. Pricing averaged about $50 per person including tip and tax, we had soft drinks - wine will generally increase the bill. They do have a bar area as well as the main dining room, so there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy M Brothers differently. If you have a chance, definitely visit this restaurant and I'd highly recommend making a reservation online, because it did get quite active as the night went by. We'll certainly be back.

Cedar and Olive was hands down the best meal in Jacksonville…read more We went for lunch and were guided by the warmest, most helpful staff. Let me tell you about the Tawook Sandwich, this thing is something special. The garlic spread they use combined with perfectly seasoned chicken, pickles, and just the right amount of crispy french fry tucked inside makes it one of the best things I have ever eaten. I'm not exaggerating. It's the kind of bite that stops you mid-conversation because you just need a moment to appreciate it. The shish kabob platter was equally incredible, the steak was impossibly tender and packed with deep, rich flavor. The hummus and pita rounded everything out beautifully, simple but executed with real care. What sets Cedar and Olive apart is that you can genuinely taste the passion behind every single dish. This isn't food that was just prepared, it was crafted with intention and creativity. If you're in Jacksonville, please do yourself a favor and go here. Don't think about it, just go. You will not regret it.

The restaurant looks good, but the food felt like a polished,…read morescaled back version of Mediterranean cuisine rather than the authentic experience you expected. Cedar and Olive was a bit of a disappointment for me. The restaurant itself is very nice, with a clean, modern setup and an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the shish tawook and fattoush. Both tasted good, so the issue wasn't necessarily the quality of the food. It was the portions, pricing, and overall experience. For me, it felt like the gentrified version of Mediterranean food. Everything looked polished and was presented nicely, but some of the generosity and authenticity I associate with a great Mediterranean restaurant seemed to be missing. Mediterranean food is usually the type of meal where you leave full and satisfied. Here, I left wondering where the rest of my plate was. The shish tawook and fattoush were good, but for the price, the meal simply wasn't fulfilling enough. Customer Service was good, not stood out either good or bad. Nice restaurant, good food, and attractive presentation. But if I'm craving an authentic Mediterranean experience with generous portions and strong value, this probably wouldn't be my first choice.

I was in town visiting family and wanted to get out the house....actually, I wanted to go smoke…read morehookah. Because this place was so close to where I was visiting and looked cool AND was rated highly on here, I was on my way. Right away I was greeted and seated by a hostess named Rosy (she was seriously fun and amazing the whole time). The layout and vibe of the place is so awesome. The DJ played good music, the crowd was chill, and best of all this place serves wine and beer (and food). However, this place gets 5 stars for the customer service. I ordered a brand/flavor I smoke at home on the regular so when I got my hookah, I was certain it didn't taste like what ordered. I let Rosy know and the owner came out to try it. Rosy agreed it didn't taste like gum mint and the owner graciously changed it out. From my experience at hookah bars, flavors can come out differently if the head isn't cleaned well, but the owner insisted they all are. He even brought out the box of shisha so I could see what they're using and yes, it was the exact one I have. After changing it out, it still wasn't right. He came back to check on me and I was honest in that it still didn't taste like gum mint, but I told him it was fine. He offered to swap it out yet again, but at this point I wasn't trying to be difficult. His whole staff and himself had been so nice and I didn't want to be "that customer." The next night I came back with my brother and the owner along with another waitress from the previous night remembered me and once again received excellent service. I have to add that prices are very reasonable for both hookah (if you like Al Fahkar) and drinks, but it's such an awesome place that the bill WILL add up. I can see why this place has such good reviews and I will be back when I visit again.

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a hookah lounge, and that says a lot for someone who doesn't smoke! The food here caught me by surprise in the best way possible! Not only was I super satisfied with the selection on the menu, but everyone ordered something different and we basically got to see a showcase of menu items. The lowest scoring menu item to us was still a 5.5 which is solid. I would highly recommend coming here, especially with friends. They have good music playing and service for us was a 10 out of 10. I was helped by Brodie and Korey and when I tell you guys they took such good care of us I mean it! Brodie was our bartender, he took the time to perfect each drink & always made sure we were topped off with refills! Korey took care of absolutely everything we could have asked for! From napkins to photos she was willing to do it all! I can't wait to come back here!!! Especially for those egg rolls!!
