Seeking an exceptional spot for a late luncheon today, I happened upon Peacock Garden. While the establishment presents a modest, unassuming exterior, stepping through the doors reveals a breathtaking transformation. The magnificent garden setting and the exquisite attention to detail in their decor are nothing short of extraordinary a truly marvelous aesthetic achievement! The hospitality was top-tier from the moment I arrived. My server, Mari, welcomed me with exceptional warmth, grace, and total professionalism. With her delightful assistance, I began my meal with a Strawberry Lemon Drop. It was mixed to absolute perfection vibrant, refreshing, and exquisitely balanced. For my late lunch, I simply could not resist ordering the deviled eggs a dish I hold in high regard. When they arrived, they were extraordinarily fresh, beautifully presented, and utterly divine in every respect. From the pristine preparation and captivating atmosphere to Mari's standout service, Peacock Garden is an absolute triumph. Five stars without hesitation I shall most certainly be returning read more

My recent culinary expedition took me to The District in Jacksonville, where I had the privilege of dining inside one of their courtyard domes. To secure this exclusive bubble, you are charged an extra $30 fee on top of your meal. For that price, you get privacy, non cold unfiltered table water, a Bluetooth speaker to blast your own soundtrack, and blessed air conditioning that keeps you from becoming a puddle in the humidity. The privacy comes with a catch, though: a security camera staring directly into your soul. Nothing says relaxation quite like knowing a lens is recording every bite. We started with the appetizer crab. The flavor was absolutely delicious, but the portion was so aggressively tiny it looked like it was packed inside a recycled tomato paste can. The Cosmo was small, featuring a garnish with a questionable, slime like tint, carrying the exact vibe of a happy hour price special. For mains, we had the oven braised short ribs over mashed potatoes, which landed in the bowl looking like it was scooped straight into a slop bowl. We also tried the fried chicken and gumbo. The chicken was a pleasant plot twist, seasoned very well, though it was boneless thighs rather than breast meat. The wait staff was perfectly fine and genuinely friendly. When the bill arrived, a 20% tip was automatically added. I have no issue with automatic gratuity, but it makes you wonder why they are also charging an extra $30 just to sit in a plastic bubble. All in all, it was a fun novelty to eat in a human terrarium once, but between the creeping security camera, miniature portions, and extra fees, once was enough. read more

No pics but the food was AWESOME.environment was energeti. There was band that really made the space feel vibrant and alive. No one, not a body of the 25 in the group complained about the food. In fact, some, including me, ordered to take food home. The Braised beef was tender, the chicken and waffles... baby look here. Crispy and juicy chicken with that thick soft on the inside crispy edge waffle....if you haven't been there you're missing out, if you have ...you know what im talking about. Highly recommend for friend and family, date night, or just to chill alone... which you won't be. I forgot... they have bubble tables. Great for gathering with your party. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Warm and cozy vibes. great food and friendly staff. bring a friend! definitely worth the drive.

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). read more

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! read more

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. read more

This place is spectacular! Try the maple bacon deviled eggs for sure. Service was super friendly. Craft cocktails well made and delicious! However, service was also a little disjointed.

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. read more

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. read more

The service and drinks were my favorite! We went early evening so it wasn't crowded at all and we seated in a little nook area which was perfect for us. I enjoyed a $20 cocktail flight special that included a variety of delicious drinks. I started with the Rockefeller oysters that were okay but kind of tasted like it was just roasted spinach and artichoke dip on top. I then ordered meatballs and Gouda cheese grits that I chose to takeaway. Everything was okay. I'd go back to try the brunch. read more

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. read more

I'm not a huge breakfast (or sweets) person but the Bread Pudding French Toast and Fried Chicken was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The french toast had a great, complex flavor to it, was soft and moist, and the layer of vanilla icing really sent it over the top. I barely touched the side of maple syrup since everything was already so perfect. The fried chicken was crunchy, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. If I had ordered that by itself, I would've been perfectly happy. It was that good and the portion was generous. In addition to the great food, the service was attentive and the outdoor dining area was cool and well shaded on a busy Sunday. The next time I'm in town I'll be sure to try their dinner menu! read more

The District is a Gem ! Please go. The staff & chef are straight up on point! Drinks- delightful!! Get thee to the District!!!

I've been to The District five times now, and this place is easily one of the best spots in town for vegans and vegetarians! My husband and I came tonight because of the $30 three-course dinner special for September. While I was a little disappointed that there weren't any plant-based options included in that deal (fingers crossed for the future!), their regular menu still delivers. I ordered the vegan Wellington, and it was absolutely phenomenal. While I am disappointed that they removed the sausage étouffée that they used to have as a second vegan entrée, but even with fewer options, The District remains one of the strongest choices in Jacksonville for plant-based dining. On top of the food, the atmosphere is great. They even offer super aesthetic tents on the back patio for rental, the perfect idea for groups and a really fun vibe. Highly recommend! read more

4.5/5 stars! Biggest tip: Make the reservation. The patio is more spacious and a better vibe than inside. We had a reservation for 11am and the line was already down the street. Our server was fantastic, very animated and attentive. Bottomless mimosas are always a win! Menu is kind of pricey but well worth it. Great place for friends to connect over a yummy meal! read more

I've been to District a few times for drinks &/or dinner and recently went for brunch. Every time I have been, food and service have been very good. They have great specials during the week. Lovely decor and fun outdoor space as well as the yurts you can reserve. I don't know if they've always had it but I just learned on this trip that they have a parking area diagonally across the street from the restaurant! That makes a big difference for me because the street parking there is not ample. Would always recommend District to anyone. read more

The service was pretty good but out server forgot a few of our items a couple times. The food was solid but nothing to write home about. I shared the carnivore board with a buddy and the spinach and artichoke dip. The dip came with nicely toasted bread which was a nice change up from chips. The carnivore board always ok. Not really spiced up and the sauces were ok. Was a cool place to try and the atmosphere was a kickback vibe. It is a little weird that it's right in the middle of a neighborhood but it works. read more

From the moment we arrived, this restaurant felt like something special. Dining in a beautifully designed yurt created an atmosphere that was both cozy and elevated -- warm lighting, intimate space, and a vibe that made the whole evening feel like an experience rather than just a meal. The food was outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. It's the kind of place where you want to try a little bit of everything because each plate that comes out looks incredible. The atmosphere is truly unmatched -- relaxed yet refined, with just the right balance of comfort and sophistication.

Good food and service. Visited with my mom and son. We had the short rib which was very flavorful. Mom ordered a shareable. Starters were their deviled eggs, yum. I must say that my favorite was the bread pudding, blueberry with white chocolate sauce. Nice atmosphere, we sat outdoors. Jonathan was very attentive to our needs. No worries about the flies on the patio they have those little fans to shooo them away. read more
