    It's a pasta dish with artichoke and peas lemon flavor !  Delicious!

    We walked into a beautiful bar with dark wood , beautiful bar. We sat outside and it just as nice, shaded from the sun with fans keeping us cool. We had great service and we also had a lovely server.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Mezza Luna! The food was absolutely delicious -- I ordered the steak, which was slightly overcooked, but I didn't send it back because it was still full of flavor and paired beautifully with the sides. My husband had the duck and really enjoyed it; cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. We started with the burrata appetizer, and it was so good we completely forgot to take pictures -- we devoured every bite! We also shared a bottle of wine and ended the night with the cheesecake crème brûlée, which was the perfect sweet finish. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were seated within 5 minutes even without a reservation, and chose to sit outside. The breeze kept us cool, and the music from inside added a nice ambiance to the whole evening. Highly recommend for a relaxed and flavorful night out!

    We have always loved Mezza. Its a nice ambiance for an upscale dining experience at beaches. We had the best server, Georgia, who took such good care of our group of 6 friends. The food is consistently good, with hot food served hot and cold food cold. Parking is limited so just use the friendly valet folks!

    Best Lasagna in town.

    I have been coming to this restaurant for maybe 20 years to celebrate special occasions, and just to bring friends, but I have not been in the last year. For me their best thing on the menu is the Lasagna It seems to have a marinara sauce spread over the top it finish it has been marinating all day.It is filled with a few types of cheeses and you cannot stop eating it until it's all gone. Their wood-fired pizzas are also a favorite of mine. Our waiter Noah was friendly and attentive.The ambience is warm with light music playing in the background. They do have live music in the lounge Monday through Thursday.A most for those looking for an extensive Italian menu to pick from.

    Basil Grapefruit cocktail- delish!

    We sat in the bar area, so it was quite loud, but to be expected in a bustling bar. The service was great. Bread - so good. We had the meatball appetizer, pappardelle, and scallops. Everything was really good, but my scallops had a perfect sear on them that delivered a crunch I crave when eating seared scallops. The risotto was a perfect texture and the corn in the dish added the perfect amount of sweetness! www.serenitynowtravel.info

    What a beautiful restaurant! The ambience really makes this place. The live music was really great and not so loud that you couldn't talk. Our food was exceptional and the portions were fair for the price. The short rib pasta dish (Fresh Pappardelle) was outstanding. The lasagna was a big hit too, and we loved the risotto that was served with the scallops. Definitely recommend the Brussels sprout appetizer. The server we had in the bar for our after dinner drinks was excellent. Our dinner server was efficient and everything was accurate but after learning the pasta special was out when we were ordering, I had asked if another entree could be made without spinach. She said she didn't think so but didn't offer up other suggestions. So I ended up quickly going with my third choice meal so everyone else didn't have to wait. It ended up being delicious so I wasn't disappointed. It would have been helpful to know what they were out of sooner or what could be modified for allergies. We did appreciate her ability to split up our checks.

    Fetuccini with Shrimp

    I was never able to try Mezza Luna when living in Jax but gave it a shot when I returned to visit and I'm so glad I did! We were a large party without a reservation but the host managed to get us seated after just a couple minutes. The place was very cute with dimmed lights. Our server got to us right away and came back with drinks not long after as well. For appetizers, we went for the Mussels, polpette and some truffle fries. Mussels could have used some salt but aside from that, everything tasted great with lots of seasoning. For the entree, I did the fetuccini Alfredo with Shrimp. What I loved about this dish was the unique flavor the peppers gave it. Shrimp was cooked to perfection and went really well with the red pepper Alfredo sauce. We were too full to even order dessert even though I wish I did. I must point out, this place is really into detail and has little sections on the menu that point out to vegan/vegetarian and even no garlic options so there is something for everyone. Will be returning on my next visit to Jax!

    Wonderful girls night out. The restaurant was hot on the patio but the food was amazing. The staff was lovely and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful time and everything we ordered was yummy.

    Delicious dinner at Mezza Luna to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We started with the beef tartare, mussels, and truffle fries. All of which were delicious, but choose the mussels if you can only have one. For my entree, I had the Pan Seared Diver Scallops which were served over a corn and Parmesan risotto, which I loved. My boyfriend had the Spinach Raditore, which wasn't his favorite but may have been because he asked for no cheese on the dish when it comes with it. Dinner at Mezza never disappoints.

    Halibut Special. meh...

    Whoa!! Was the food good? Yes.. was it timed and staged absolutely NOT! We were seated at 5:30 given water and 10 minutes later our server reappeared. We ordered drinks, appetizer, salad and entree. They were out of a ghost pepper tequila and so I reordered. Drinks came, salad came appetizer came and while eating the appetizer our entree came. What the hell? $180.00 tab and we were out by 6:27! That's all. Picture of the entree only because it sat the longest on our table waiting for us to finish our mussel appetizer. Certainly will not make my rotation!

    Stopped by for a drink and quick bite with my friend at the bar. The Cacio e Pepe was as good as I remembered. This was my first time getting an espresso martini here and I'm impressed! Not super watered down, used actual espresso/coffee instead of just coffee liqueur.

    My first time at Mezza and did not disappoint. Love this place. The chicken Alfredo and the short ribs plates were both yummy. The fried calamari is the best in Jax. My old fashion was also perfect. The service was great. I love that we were able to chat freely because the music was at a perfect level.

Their cocktails are superb and very high-quality. The service is absolutely the best in the entire city that I have ever experienced. Not only was everybody friendly, but they were super excited about their experience and their products and were very willing to answer questions and provide any guidance we wanted. During our 90 minute visit, I'm certain they stopped at our table 4 or five times to check on us. It was not intrusive, it was part of the experience. We were blown away. When we left, our bill was reasonable, we felt we had a high-quality night out, and we made plans to 100% come back much more often. I just can't rate this place higher or speak more highly of it. Truly worthy of five stars. Thank you, Mayport Garden Club, for the justice that you do to your patrons, the world of tiki, and craft cocktails! Oh - food came from the pizza baker next door at Reve brewing. It had a slight burnt taste (wood fired? Coal fired?) but wasn't bad overall.

The regulars are always here on the weekdays and there is always a bustling crowd on the weekends. The bartenders are all awesome! They'll make you feel welcome the moment you enter.

Bring your good luck charm to Island Girl Taproom. They have plenty of game machines from darts to gambling to golf simulator to good old fashioned pool. I cannot say enough about the bartender Chris who works hard behind the bar to make sure everyone's drink is full. He is one of the best bartender's I have ever met.

They were there to watch the Jags game and I was there to hang out with friends plus provide moral support if needed. This was only our second time ever hanging out at an Island Girl, but we had a blast. The place is very big with everything you could need: darts and a lot of pool tables for everyone else along with Golden Tee Golf for us. They don't serve food (of course) but The Hanger Bay Cafe and Simply Tasty Thai are right in the same plaza, so you can have great food brought to you. The waitstaff was awesome, the people hanging out were cool and the place has a lot to do. So we're really happy we went. On a side note: Football is not my thing. At all. So I rarely ever watch a whole game. In short what I'm saying is; you're welcome for that Jags win. I'm guessing they knew it was a special occasion when I watch and played extra well
