After a busy day of shopping, my partner and I decided to grab some food before we headed home. We…read moreboth had Olive Garden in mind after years of not going, so this was the closest one that we were routed to via GPS. Upon entering, we noticed it wasn't busy at all (mind you, this was late, Saturday afternoon) and looked to be freshly remodeled within the past several years. The heavy, 2000s Tuscan aesthetic will be missed. We were promptly sat to a place of our choosing by a friendly host. Once sat, we were greeted by our server who was also very friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple cocktails which were VERY fairly priced (you rarely see that anymore) and went ahead with our orders of endless soup, salad, and breadsticks. Name me a better deal in any restaurant chain, I'll wait. Once we were finished with our meals, to go boxes were offered with entirely new portions. After this visit, I wondered to myself: why did we ever stop eating at Olive Garden? This location was beyond satisfactory and most importantly, looked to be well kept and clean. If you're looking to get your Olive Garden fix, this location is a great option and located right off of the highway. - Lou Sassle

Salad and soup came out ASAP, before I could ask for cheese he was gone.... Returned far too long later and I told him to cancel the rest of the meal....he said no I am sure it's coming out now..... only to disappear again and what felt like forever to bring the rest of the food. What should have been a quick and good meal ended up being far too long and not even mediocre. The ladies room was nasty and out of paper, when telling a staff member they seemed rather disinterested. Overall the staff was unsmiling, and disinterested. Maybe we will try again next year but not anytime soon.

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.

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.

That makes the distinction clearer. 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.

Today was our first time coming to this restaurant…read more We received a $50 gift card through an Instagram drawing so we didn't have an actual gift card when we arrived. I wasn't really sure how it was going to work out -- but when we arrived we took a look at the menu and then explain the situation to the friendly cashier at the counter. There were no issues from there. We spent about $50 on two meals and two drinks (not including tip). We ordered the Burrito Mexicano, Pink Protein Pancakes (with eggs), Morning Energizer (I believe that's what it was called), & a matcha latte. The pancakes were made using beet flour which you can definitely taste. I actually enjoy the taste of beets but if you don't, maybe don't order those. The eggs weren't our favorite thing in the world, but they were warm & got the job done. The order also came with a variety of fresh fruit. I appreciated that I didn't come to any piece of fruit that was overly ripe. I really liked the burrito but next time I think I would add some kind of breakfast meat to it. Accompanying me for the meal was my 15 month old daughter. When we arrived, I didn't see any high chairs. I was a little concerned about how the meal was going to go without one... but after we ordered and sat down the hostess grabbed a highchair for us (which was clean). My favorite things we ordered were the two drinks. My daughter and I actually both drink those together and surprisingly her favorite was the morning energizer (which had the beet juice). We sat indoors, but there is somewhat of an outdoor patio if the weather was nice and you wanted to sit outdoor. Indoor seating had a variety of options from comfy chairs (that gave coffee shop vibes), to regular dining chairs. I also appreciated that though there was some music playing in their speakers -- It wasn't too loud. Something that really impressed me was: the second we finished a plate and pushed it aside (so my 15 month old wouldn't play with it) the hostess immediately took it away from us. There was no wait. The complementary water that is brought to the table tasted clean and without chlorine. All of the food was fresh tasting, and we enjoyed the interactions we had with all of the staff we spoke to. The women's restroom was one of the cleanest I have been in and it had a luxury vibe to it.

I can't speak on the service and ambiance but I can definitely vouch for the flavor. Not worth docking a star but I do wish they wouldn't package the ceviche in something that's not leak proof.
