    Bloody Mary, and pineapple mimosas
    Anna-caroline B.

    Made a reservation ahead of time to ensure we could sit inside! The shared waffle board was so good! They list berries which felt silly because it came with like 4 berries! The waffles were sweet which was a great contrast to the salty chicken. The spinach artichoke dip was one of the best I've ever had! The drinks were great and a normal price. The service was great; our waitress Lee was very kind and sweet! It is super cute inside but not very many tables.

    Quiet night at this popular bistro. Too hot to sit outside on the patio and the tents were closed. Enjoyed the bar area inside and ordered some yummy apps and had one of the best and freshest Caesar salads in our area! Served with sardines and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, it was delicious. Our server was great and we enjoyed our evening for sure. Good happy hour options too!

    Let's just start off that the food will never disappoint you for sure!!!!! First time coming here and the ladies sure did outdid themselves with the bottomless mimosas. Our server was just too cute and too sweet. She made sure everything was good and kept refilling those drinks. The ambiance of the place was a nice setting for ladies or date night ..... this is a place yall should definitely check out

    Easy reservation online system. Got our YURT for up to 12 ppl. It was cooled by portable HVAC and could have benefited from a little more light. But we made do. Our server Mari was excellent - attentive and friendly. Great cocktails and apps along with a variety of entrees made for a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend.

    Food and service is always amazing. Quick sercvice. Fresh food. Nice vibes. On the pricey side.

    Chicken and French toast
    Kate C.

    Starting New Years Day off with a wonderful brunch at a place I don't get to often enough! I haven't been here in a few years and goodness have they grown! We sat out on the porch, which was covered and had heaters. It was quite comfortable on a very chilly day! Our server was wonderful and kept our glasses full and helped us decide on menu items. She was on top of it even though it was an incredibly busy morning. I had trouble deciding between the French toast (my go-to brunch/breakfast food!) and chicken and waffles. But on the menu... chicken and French toast. Best of both worlds and now my life won't ever be the same! The chicken was juicy and tender and the breading had delicious seasoning. I was nervous the French toast would be too sweet but it was just the perfect balance of the chicken. Dipped in the syrup, I was in heaven! Also at the table was oxtail and grits. Grits aren't really for me, but they were decent (take this with a grain of salt because as I said, I don't like grits in general) and the oxtail was great! Someone got chicken and waffles and I did try a nibble of the waffle. It was good but I was definitely partial to the French toast. And finally, a croque madame! I didn't sample but everyone else gave rave reviews. For the drinks, most the table had bottomless mimosas. Worth the cost and delicious! One got a French 75 which I tried and it was perfection! Bright and lemony! I had cold brew coffee and here is where my only (small) complaint comes in. I only got the cold brew because they do not have hot coffee! For a brunch place, this feels illegal lol. And the cold brew was very so-so. Tasted a bit watered down. I survived just fine though and it won't keep me from going back and raving about the food. It did get quite loud on the porch once it was filled up. So, something to consider if you're looking for something a little more intimate and quiet. Also, the music was seriously on point. And that was a decent volume.

    Salmon and grits
    Shana S.

    The vibe off top is unmatched at this Sunday brunch. The music, the wait staff, and the Peacock Green Dome is the perfect space to have an event in! Mari was our waitress and we just loved her!! Freddy was the musician of the day and he kept the place live and engaged! I ordered a passion fruit Bellini which was perfect for me!! The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing, flavorful and the bread it came with was soft and seasoned, which I loved. The salmon and grits was definitely the star of the show, the salmon was cooked so well and the seasoning was just right!! The grits were cooked just right as well! I need to come here more often!

    Went there on a weekend for brunch and got really lucky that we were able to get seated right away without reservation (although would definitely recommend making a reservation because they are always busy). It was cold and rainy outside so the seatings outside on the patio were definitely cold even with the space heaters. They were incredibly busy so the service was slow. Food came out delicious, and staff was very knowledgeable to help us decide what to order. They do have unlimited mimosa on weekends but be mindful that they get busy and the server might not be able to refill for you (we were there for about 2 hours and only ended up getting 2 mimosas each which was a waste to do unlimited mimosa and not worth it).

    Carnivore board
    Amber A.

    I would suggest a reservation but we were recently able to walk in without a wait on a Saturday morning (right after opening). We loved sitting outside. There was live music, which is always a fun touch. We got the bottomless mimosas. I mean, you can't go wrong here. They had three juice choices- orange, pineapple, and cranberry. You can't change it up with each glass and the staff came by often to refill. We also got the carnivore board which was a great option when you just can't decide. It had short ribs, chimichurri steak, and fried chicken. The sides included the potatoes, grits, biscuits, and gravy. Everything was great! The gravy has what I believe to be a sage flavor, so it wasn't my absolute favorite breakfast gravy, but it didn't stop us from devouring it!

    Cheese board with prosciutto added
    Portia B.

    The District has been a favorite for brunch since they opened. I've been fortunate to snag amazing patio spots for my groups of 5+ (with a reservation) during times that live music was happening. This was my first visit for dinner, and it was still a great experience with the same flavorful food options available at brunch (the salmon, and or shrimp and grits are my favorite during the day, those Cajun seasoned shrimp are a flavor bomb!), with a few additional hearty options. We were promptly seated and enjoyed the cheese board with an addition of prosciutto. The mustard that comes with this board was so good I also had some with my short rib! There was a fun selection of nuts and crackers, with two spiced cheeses, burrata, and pimento cheese. As mentioned, I had the perfectly seasoned braised short rib which was served piping hot, and my date chimichurri steak which was well seasoned and cooked to the chefs preferred temperature. While there was no live music, whatever was coming through the speakers was a vibe, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. This will remain a go to place when you just want to enjoy a meal and enjoy a romantic setting.

    The district is probably a 4.5 star experience, I'll round up since I'm looking forward to going back to enjoy patio seating. On this most recent first-time visit, we stopped by on a busy Saturday at lunch time. We arrived at 11:00 a.m. with a reservation, and I'm certainly glad that I did make a reservation since the place fills up quickly for lunch/brunch. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, the chicken was well prepared, and those waffles were uniquely amazing! Service from Sean was good, and while the tables inside the restaurant are packed very closely together, we were still able to enjoy conversation. We did notice the people without reservations were left with bar seating, since the dining room and patio filled up. The Springfield neighborhood is nothing significant to speak of, so there's nothing in the surrounding area to visit before or after a meal. There is a parking slab about a block from the front door of the restaurant. Pricing averaged about $35 per person all in including soft drinks, though note that they do not offer cold/iced tea as a beverage, which seems odd since all of their other soft drinks come in cans, so it would seem easy to offer tea. Overall, this restaurant does offer excellent food, and a trendy environment, so I do anticipate returning.

    My husband made a lunch reservation for us on Saturday at 11. The restaurant is located on a residential street in the Springfield area north of downtown Jacksonville. There is some street parking as well as a free parking lot about a block past the restaurant. There was a line of people waiting to get in when we arrived. Fortunately we had a reservation for indoor dining. There is also a big patio with plenty of tables on a covered patio. The menu had about six appetizers, as well as about twelve entrees. I went with one my standards, the shrimp and grits. The dish was tasty, but literally was only shrimp and grits, with no sausage, peppers, tomatoes or onions. My husband had the chicken and waffles. The dish looked and tasted great. Service was quick.

    I'm still thinking about the shrimp and grits at The District in Springfield Perfectly cooked shrimp, rich and creamy grits, and a flavor that somehow manages to be both comforting and elevated at the same time. Every bite had that balance of savory, buttery goodness with just the right kick. You know when a dish is so good you slow down just to make it last? That was me the entire time. Hands down the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in Jacksonville--maybe anywhere. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. This one's worth the hype.

    Bread Pudding French Toast and Fried Chicken. 10/10, no notes.

    Gluten free options!?

    Yes!?

    Is it kid friendly during the day?

    If by 'kid friendly' you mean 'can kids technically enter the building?' then yes, absolutely. There's no play area, no chicken nugget shrine, and the menu assumes your child's favorite food isn't 'air with a side of ketchup'--but if your little one… 

    How is the parking near the restaurant?

    There is a dedicated lot that people park in, a short walk to the restaurant. There's also street parking nearby, both are available first come, first served. It can be a bit challenging to find depending on when you go, but it is free.

    How much is the added gratuity?

    20% on parties of 5 or more

I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

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.

Also tried the frozen strawberry frozen marg which I unfortunately did not enjoy. It didn't have a lot of strawberry flavor, it tastes more like cherry medicine. Do want to mention that when it gets busy, it may be hard to find parking and the area is pretty sketchy (I didn't feel safe parking far and having to walk over. One time a homeless guy was yelling at me when I was walking on the sidewalk), so just be mindful and careful if you do park far and having to walk.
