Our friends Jami and Paul invited us out to dinner tonight to The Lazy Manatee. I've been here…read moretwice previously when they first opened and its been awhile, but I've enjoyed everything I've had so far, including the burger I ate tonight. Our friends we were with ordered a pretzel for the table and shared with us. It was a really good, plump pretzel. Served with Mustard and Beer Cheese for dipping. That beer cheese was perfect! For our entrees we both went with a burger since Jacksonville Restaurant Reviews rated them #8 in Jax for burgers. I had the "It's A Me, Mario" while my husband opted for the "Classic" burger. I very much enjoyed mine. I'm a sucker for prosciutto on anything. The saltiness from the prosciutto worked well with the combination of the pesto and mozzarella. Not a bad combo at all. I also loved the sweetness from the balsamic glaze on it. Hubby is a big smash burger fan, but said this didn't feel like a smash burger. He liked it and said it was a really good burger, but when it comes to the smash burgers, he really digs the crispy edges on the patty. He was happy with how it all tasted and the burger sauce they used. He did say he'd prefer the sauce on top of the patty because he felt it made the bottom bun just a little mushy, but it wasn't a deal breaker for him. I also got the opportunity to use my Scoop Card for BOGO beers! I meant to use the card the other day at EZ Eatz, but forgot too, but I made sure to remember tonight! Also our server, Christian is believe was his name, was super friendly and attentive and took great care of us. All around great visit. Bonus photos and thoughts from my previous visit: Fried Green Tomato BLT - LOVED IT. Sonoran Dog - Was different, but good. Nachos with pulled pork - Perfect for game days and snacking. 10/10 recommend! The nachos have been my favorite so far.

My husband and I had a wonderful friday date night here. We live prob 20 mins away and don't frequent this area of town, but we are both glad we made the drive. I wish I caught our waiter's name- he was excellent, clearly hyped about this new bar & restaurant and had nothing but positive things to say about the chef. I crushed the soft pretzel- best in town! I would legit go back just for that! Also enjoyed a handful of beers, both on drafts and from the cooler. I felt they have a huge variety of beers and they were at reasonable prices. The best part was how much my husband LOVED the smash burger. He isn't one to go crazy over food, but while he was eating it he just kept saying "this is incredible!" He's talked about it on repeat and told all our friends. (He even went out of his way to tip & compliment the chef). We'll for sure be back!

It's all about the atmosphere. They do allow smoking... some might not like that. Check them out... they will take care of you!

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.
