The space is very clean and modern with a hint of boho chic that ties in perfectly with the beachy atmosphere. And I have to mention the playlist! The music is always so good and upbeat that it literally makes you want to get up and dance. It really adds to the overall experience and makes dinner here feel like a whole vibe. I mostly come here for dinner with my friends, and we always have the best time. We've never been disappointed! The service is consistently warm and welcoming. Tonight, our waiter, Tavage, was incredibly kind and patient with us while we were ordering. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the roasted oysters. I get them every time, and everyone who tries them ends up loving them! I honestly haven't found roasted oysters made quite like this anywhere else. The Mahi Mahi tacos and chicken tacos are also incredibly flavorful. And if you like a little heat, definitely go for the pork tacos! Overall, this is one of those places I can always count on for great food, good service, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a beach favorite of mine!

Had occasion to partake of the Sandbar several times during my 3 night stay and was very pleased with the food and service. For food I had originally ordered the crab cakes and was surprised when they arrived "cajun style" which was not noted on the menu. I spoke to the manager, Matt, who told me they had just changed the menu but hadn't gotten new ones yet. He gladly removed it from my bill. The smash burger was great as was the Sunday brunch breakfast bowl. The staff, Grace, hostess extraordinaire, was great. Helpful and personable. Bartenders Vinny and Jesus were great, good conversation and drinks. Others working when I was there, Russell and Valeriya, and the manager Matt, all seeming to hustle and keeping the place running and I saw no complaints from other customers while there. Pretty well run shop and I have been in a few similar places in my time.

Some restaurants announce themselves…read more Others make you work a little to find them. RP's Fine Food & Dining in Jacksonville Beach is one of those places. It's easy to miss, tucked away next to the dispensary just before you get there. (And yes, the maps may tell you otherwise.) But sometimes the places that take a little searching are the ones worth remembering. I ordered the fried grit cakes--two generous, golden cakes--topped with shrimp and Tasso gravy. Eight perfectly cooked shrimp, which, if you know anything about eating seafood at the beach, is no small accomplishment. Shrimp can go from tender to rubber in the blink of an eye. These were just right. But the gravy... That was the star. Savory. Creamy. Deep with flavor. It didn't simply sit on top of the grit cakes; it brought the whole dish together, elevating every bite. And I was grateful for the spoon they served with it, because leaving even a drop of that gravy behind would have felt like a waste. There are meals you eat because you're hungry. And then there are meals you remember because, for a little while, everything on the plate just made sense. This was one of those meals. I'll definitely be back.

I've driven past RP's in Jax Beach so many times that I had forgotten it was there. Today seemed…read morelike a good day to correct that oversight, preferably over brunch. I wanted something simple, so I ordered blueberry pancakes with bacon and eggs. Pancakes are one of those things I'm happy to leave to professionals because I'm terrible at making them myself. RP's delivered. The short stack had crisp edges, a tender middle, and pockets of warm, sweet blueberries throughout. Nothing complicated, just a very good pancake. My wife ordered the showstopper, two fried grit cakes topped with sautéed shrimp, Parmesan, and Tasso ham gravy. The spoon they provide is not decorative. You are going to need it. The gravy was deep and savory with just enough heat, with bits of Tasso ham mingling with perfectly cooked shrimp. The grit cakes brought a crisp exterior and creamy center. Get a little grit cake, some gravy, and a shrimp on the same spoon and you have one of those bites that makes you stop talking for a second. RP's feels like the kind of place beach locals know about and visitors eventually discover. My first visit was for brunch, but if lunch and dinner are this good, I suspect this won't be my last. A good neighborhood brunch spot is worth remembering. I'm glad RP's finally made it onto my list.

I was here for a friend's birthday dinner and found the restaurant to be a pretty mixed bag…read more The big pro is the location and view: we sat in the upstairs, which had an upscale coastal atmosphere, and the views of the ocean were absolutely stunning. Another plus was that our server was very friendly and helpful, although he seemed to be having to cover for much of the rest of the staff. At a glance, the restaurant didn't seem understaffed, but they struggled to keep up even when multiple tables had emptied out. The bar and kitchen were struggling, too -- we had multiple issues with wrong items being served, and it took a surprisingly long time to get our food (even with giving a lot of grace for us being a party of 10). Dinner was 2.5 hours without dessert (with the exception of the small, complementary dessert they brought the birthday celebrant). The food was fine but nothing spectacular, and it felt overpriced. I ordered a cup of tomato bisque, which was decent, and a trio of sides for my main course: the Boursin orzo, Brussels sprouts, and pecan green beans. The orzo was pretty tasty, and the Brussels sprouts were quite nice with dried cherries mixed in. Both leaned a bit too salty but not terribly so. The green beans were a total miss: no flavor and arrived room temperature. The server ensured I wasn't charged for them. To drink, I ordered an ube piña colada (which was not strong but was tasty) and a glass of house white. My total for soup, two sides, one cocktail, and one glass of wine was nearly $80 with the 20% automatic large party gratuity included. I don't mind the tip inclusion, but I feel like I paid a hefty amount for food that didn't match the price tag. I'll also note that they have introduced a surcharge for paying by credit card. I really hope they get things sorted out; it sounded like a lot of new staff in place which hopefully means higher aspirations rather than high turnover. It's a beautiful spot.
