    Always a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
    Matt H.

    This is a gem downtown Jacksonville. It is our go-to before every performance at the Jacksonville Performing Arts Center, and they never disappoint. From your greeting at the door, the interaction with your server, to the arrival of the food, this is a wonderful dining experience. The chefs take care with every meal to ensure the quality- it's not just a plate thrown together. And the managers are actively overseeing the pass to ensure accuracy and standards. The bar is quick to get out wine and cocktails, and the ambience is relaxing and enjoyable. This may be a restaurant in a hotel, but it is no hotel restaurant!

    Great little date night. Burger and Snapper didn't disappoint. They were short staffed but Taylor our server delighted us with extra attention and tasty food. Thank you

    October 15-22, 2024 - I stayed at the Marriott (reviewed separately) and came into J Bar/Juliette's Bistro almost daily. The meals I had for lunch and dinner were consistently good. The buffet breakfast did get boring after 4 days, but the breakfast menu has some great choices. The Marriott burger, Mahi, Snapper, and prime sirloin were all very good. There is a full bar, and the cocktails were good. There were specialty cocktails, beers on tap, and a decent wine selection too. Depending upon the number of people, especially if a sports game is on, was loud there. The large dining area was consistently quiet. At lunch and dinner the staff was frequently very busy, but did keep up. During breakfast, it was very hit or miss and it did not seem to make a difference with the amount of people eating nor the number of waitstaff. Sometimes with an empty ice tea glass sitting empty at the edge of the table it would be promptly refilled (after being asked) and other times staff would walk by several times w/o any acknowledgment. It was very chilly in the larger dining area. The bar and seating areas were much more comfortable.

    Came for a quick dinner before the show across the street at the Moran theater. Good, quick service. Mahi was pretty good, but I wish it would have some flavorful sauce, it was pretty plain with just salsa.

    If you're going to a show across the street at The Preforming Arts Center then this is a great place to stop for a drink at the bar inside the Marriott. Parking is right there & makes everything easy. However, our party of 8 found Juliette's ( JBar) very underwhelming. From the minute we walked in to the packed restaurant/ bar it had an overwhelming smell of frying meat and the place was so Smokey I had a hard time keeping my eyes from watering. They have an open kitchen that obviously needs a much better ventilation system during busy times when they are frying burger after burger. Our waiter although nice seemed pretty overwhelmed as well. He said he could only give our party of 8, 6 separate checks which was ok with us. This meant 2 people would be on one check. Ok fine. Hold that thought I'll get back to this. The menu is very limited & really needed several more snacky, appetizer / light fare choices. we were disappointed because apparently their happy hour is from 1-5 and our party arrived at 5:30 so no drink specials for us sadly. a glass of wine was $14. 2 in our party ordered their special drinks and were served them in plastic cups & were told " sorry we ran out of glasses" Overall review of our party of 8 on menu items - Burger 7/10 1/2 wedge salad 6/10 Hummus 5/10 Shrimp & grits 8/10 Now we were making a show that started at 7 which the waiter knew ( everyone else there was going to the show as well judging by how it cleared out by 6:30) this is when we asked for checks. The waiter messed up our checks so bad adding drinks on & charging for wrong items. It took him OVER A 1/2 hour to straighten it out making us late for the show. When I mentioned to the manager the problem with the checks his response was " Yeah when that happens it's a big mess and takes a lot to straighten out" Our overall experience was pretty poor which is a shame because it's really a great location to the theater & parking. My recommendation is stop for a drink at The Marriott & eat somewhere else in the neighborhood.

    We had a very nice visit here after seeing Hamilton. We were seated right away. I had the Kale Caesar Salad! I was a little hesitant but it was excellent! The scallops were also roasted to perfection. I had a blackberry cider to go along with my meal. It was sweet, tangy and delicious. My brother-in-love had the fish and chips which left much to be desired. The fries were probably the best part as the fish was terribly overcooked. Our waitress was attentive, patient and kind. Not sure if this is a go to, but if you're a guest in the hotel where this is located and you're looking for fare you might as well!

    Salmon dip

    2 stars is generous for what we experienced. It was over an hour after we arrived by the time we were served appetizers. The smoked salmon dip was just cold salmon dip that tasted like it was from costco, served up with a an ice cream scoop. The octopus undercooked and over charred; which is not theoretically possible. The hostess was unprofessionally dressed and wasn't even at the hostess station when we arrived. Our waiter took 15 minutes to take our drink order, lost another lady's order at the table next to ours, and forgot my debit card when he returned the check. The kitchen space was cluttered, there were crates of dishes sitting on the decorative areas and it was freezing cold. Absolutely skip this place. There are plenty of other lovely restaurants in downtown Jacksonville with better food, better ambience and better service for a smaller price tag. I cannot believe I paid $15 for scoops of premade dip and a few slices of bread, not to mention everything else.

    Don't know why, but this was my first visit to my local namesake, Juliette's Bistro! It's been here for years, and so have I -- but we've never seemed to cross paths. Well, this year's Yelpie Awards changed all that and our worlds collided, literally! Shouts out to Chris, who also ended up being our server after the near death experience of being bum rushed at the host stand while I was trying to make the last reservation of the night that I'd booked. I was ravenous, I didn't want the kitchen to close, and poor Chris took the brunt of it like a CHAMP! After mowing Chris over and apologizing, we were promptly seated and he took excellent care of us! We ordered many sides and small bites, then sampled a bit of everything available. A novel idea! My favorites were the deviled eggs (nice spin with the shrimp), the truffle mashed potatoes, the garlic grits, the crab and corn bisque, the collard greens, and the brussel sprouts-- actually, it's safe to say-- all of it! I enjoyed Juliette's and I'll be back (in less of a hurry) to take full advantage of that 25% off brunch check in offer (thanks Yelp) very soon. Magnifique!

With seating at the bar we were served right away by a pleasant women who worked with us our entire stay. We started with the fish dip which was very good. A bit more cream cheese than I normally like but was still very good. Also had the Crab Savannah soup which is like a tomato based she crab soup, excellent!! For our entrees my wife had the Poke' Bowl with seared tuna. Asked for medium rare but got more to a medium color (gray) but the veggies that it came with were fresh, flavorful & crisp! For my self I had the oyster poor boy which was huge! Plenty of oysters and cooked just right. The remoulade sauce had a nice flavor and the veggies also were fresh & crisp. The ambience is more like a warehouse feel but I'm ok with that kind of atmosphere. In talking with our server Sunday's is there busiest day. So, if coming on a Sunday get there early or pack some patience as the food was very good & worth the trip. Thank you for a nice time! We'll be back!!

We got a side of tartar sauce as well as Mom's not that adventurous. These were really good. For entrees, I got their Fresh Catch Entree and I chose the Trigger Fish (also comes with Smoked Mushrooms, Sundried Tomatoes, Lemon Basil Beurre Blanc, Herbed Jasmine Rice, and Bacon Sherry Charred Green Beans). I hadn't had that in a long time. I don't care much for white fish but this is one that I enjoy eating. Presentation was great and the taste was amazing. Mom got the Cajun Shrimp Pasta (Fettuccine, Sundried Tomatoes, Spinach, Mushrooms, Cajun Parmesan Cream Sauce, and Herb Toasted Panko). She enjoyed her entree and they gave her a pretty good size portion. The only thing she wasn't a fan of was the sundried tomatoes. Nothing wrong with them, she just doesn't like the texture. Our server was really awesome and kept checking in with us to see if we needed anything why also handling the larger parties coming through the door. We can honestly say that we're glad we visited in person instead of doing takeout and will definitely be back again.

Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.
