    Galentine's was a fabulous event!
    Michelle D.

    I've been to the Red Gill two years in a row for their Galentines event. This year's registration fee was $20. This included a welcome cocktail, apps buffet and take home gifts. The DJ set the tone by playing a fabulous list of ladies anthems. I enjoyed the buffet which included several delicious cheeses, meats, the best meatballs I've ever tasted, olives, several types of desserts, other sweet treats and more. The Valentine's decorations were fabulous and my friends and I enjoyed the photo booth. There were several vendors on site selling baked goods, makeup, jewelry, etc. There was a drawing and I won a bottle of wine as did a few others at my table. And my take-home gifts included sweet treats, eye and face masks, lip gloss, a small bottle of bubbly and a rose. So thoughtful! I hope this continues as an annual event as I plan to go every year!

    Cuban Sandwich was good, fries were awesome!

    Food has gone down hill and the price has sky rocketed. This will be our last meal here. Charlie was our waiter, his people skills needs improvement!

    Last day of St Patrick's Day Pop Up!

    Very fun and decorated nicely for the event, st Patrick's day. The food was good, enjoyed most of all the Reuben egg rolls. Also purchased a pretzel with beer cheese and spicy mustard; the cheese was not my favorite and the spicy mustard needed a bit more kick, but the pretzel was super soft and delicious on its own. Also tried the "pizza" they had on their specials menu. It was different having the mash potatoes on the pizza, but I definitely got the theme. Overall it was different but not bad. I just would have also described it as a flatbread instead of a pizza, as the assumption is that a pizza would have been big enough to share (which we were going to) but the flatbread just wasn't enough. Truly overall I liked the place, the bartender was so fun and lively and the got crowded as the evening went on. Definitely would be back to try other items.

    My experience so far with Red Gill Bistro is attending their special Galentine's Day event, so this review focuses on that rather than a "regular" meal. That being said, the event was absolutely lovely! I was a little concerned about what I'd get for $20, but it ended up being a complementary cocktail, a huge charcuterie-style spread with meats and cheeses, a mashed potato bar, plenty of desserts, and more -- even a lovely "thank you" gift that included a small champagne bottle and other goodies. The local vendors were great! I ended up getting some permanent jewelry and a beaded bracelet, and the consumables for sale looked delicious. From Red Gill, I ordered a tiki drink that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, only that it had both orgeat and falernum in it and that it came in a mini bathtub. It was delicious! The flavors were balanced well, and it was pricey but strong. The DJ was tuned in to the crowd's favorites, and our host (the owner?) was spectacular in making everyone feel welcomed and cared for. I will definitely be attending more events here and will check it out for a regular drink and bite soon.

    I have known most of these friends for over 50 years! Such a great party!

    If you haven't been to #SippinSanta you are missing out. I booked a reservation for 20 of my besties. Preordering appetizers was easy and a great way to go with a large group. Laura was exceptional to work with. The detail was perfection. Tamika provided the perfect level of service. Red Gill Bistro is decorated from top to bottom. Santa visited and it snowed. The star of the show is the Christmas themed Tiki Drinks. So delicious! Thanks to Laura, Tamika and Charlie for making our night perfect!

    I was staying in the hotel and wandered down to get a bite to eat. It is an inviting little spot, festive decorations. Charlie made me a Long Island, that was little sour, but he fixed it right up, nice and strong and only $12. Everyone in the restaurant raved about how good the food was. I ordered food and took it back to the room. wings and a salad. Don't order the wings...they were old and dry and expensive, no fries with it. You know, how when you get to the bone it is dark and superdry. Yeah, order something else... but Charlie will cheer you up and make you a great drink! 5 stars for him!

    Another great pop-up! The Valentines event was awesome We had creative themed drinks and delicious appetizers. Really amazing time. Can't wait for the next one!

    Tom & Sherry and Secret Santa (the best coquito I've ever had)
    Kristy K.

    Checked out the Sippin Santa pop-up at Red Gill. We decided to go early because it can get busy. We sat at the bar and all the staff was very personable. Tried the Tom & Sherry, Secret Santa and the Silent Nightcap and all 3 were delightful! Of course the decorations were very cute and I loved the fireplace on the tv.

    Huge, well deserved shout out to the Red Gill Bistro!!! I was recently fortunate enough to try them out for a Yelp event. The Christmas Decor is unmatched, their food excellent and their service impeccable. Rarely do you see a crew that is entirely interchangeable and serve food and make the perfect drink. Everything I tried at the Yelp event hit and I want to bring special attention to the Spam fried rice which is just perfect. After the Yelp event, the crew at work was looking to have a dinner to exchange Secret Santa gifts. I knew this was the perfect place. Tamika was our waitress and she was just a star. We had a party of 17 and no one waited or needed anything at any point of the night. This time I tried the chicken quesadilla. Another example of simple things done in an excellent way. Fresh, tasty, the perfect amount of chicken, cheese and vegetables. Decadently good. Everyone on our party enjoyed their food and the experience. I love that this place is right down the street from work. I do believe we'll become regulars. I highly suggest you give the Red Gill Bistro a try. Especially at Christmas, you'll be blown away.

    Sticky BBQ Chicken
    Mike S.

    We were out of town for the Yelp Elite event but that wasn't going to stop us from checking out the Sippin Santa Pop Up at the Red Gill Bistro. We came in on a Friday night and I will say it was already starting to get packed but we were able to get a spot at the bar. I will say they did an amazing job decorating too couldn't believe how good it looked. We of course started with some Christmas drinks. I went with the Jingle Bird which of course is bourbon based but also has Pineapple Rum. I will say this tasted great and I have to find out what's in that jingle Mix. I will say too, bourbon and Pineapple Rum can have you hurting the next day so play it safe. The drink are on the pricier side ($18 for this one) but that's what comes with pop ups. We of course had to order the pop up food too. We got the Spam Fried Rice, Teriyaki Pineapple Meatballs, and the Sticky BBQ Chicken. Our favorite was for sure the Spam Fried Rice I could have eaten this all night. Keep the Spam Fried Rice coming. The Sticky BBQ Chicken was not what I expected but still good. They were BBQ'ed drums so good thing I'm a big dark meat fan. Now of course one drink was not enough so Ashley and I had to split the North Pole Bowl. Santa sitting in a liquor pool... I had to give it. I was also very good and for sure great for sharing with friends at $34. We help they keep doing this next year and maybe even start doing different themed pop ups.

    Put a Ring on it!

    What a fantastic experience last night. The food was tremendous! Huge! :). The staff were amazing! A great time was had by our whole table. I heard the drinks were unique and very cute with special glasses. Highly recommend for dinner, special gatherings, girls night out. It's inside the Wyndham. You can book a room too!

    Clearly sat they are open until midnight. But are very rude at 10:15 the Saturday before Christmas.
    Andrea F.

    HORRIBLE SERVICE. We heard about their Christmas pop up type bar, so 22 of us went to check it out at 10:10 on the Saturday night before Xmas. I went in before the huge group and asked the bartender if they were still open since their instagram said they were open until midnight, she said she would have to check and walked off. And few minutes later , Charlie, walked up and said "I don't know what I need to tell you but we aren't serving anymore". He was loud and aggressive to the point I was in tears walking away. It was so unnecessary to talk to anyone like that. He claimed he had already talked to somebody in our group, but was no confusion it was not us. Christmas pop up bar only has a limited time, and Charlie made it even more limited.

This was the first place that popped up for me. I am Diabetic 2, and I was feeling hungry and a little bit weak. I actually saw this place as I passed by on my way to my first appointment! I walked in and inquired if they had pita bread. The lady that waited on me was very nice. Yes, they did have pita breakfast sandwiches. She asked if I wanted butter or mayonnaise and I told her yes. I also had a cup of water. I had my coffee at home this morning. I see they have great prices and daily specials! I love that. They also have soups and salads. One review said they have great potato salad. I might get one, "to-go". I also noticed that they have regulars here, an elderly gentleman and also doctors and other medical professionals from the close by hospitals and doctor offices. I also noticed a police officer come in. I wished I lived closer. But, I will come by when I am in the area. It's always nice to find and discover new places.

The place looks like a typical deli no glitz no glam just really good food that speaks for itself! I ordered the Reuben with a side of french fries and the Turkey Reuben was absolutely delicious and super filling! I wasn't a huge fan of the french fries but honestly, I also didn't need them because the sandwich was so big! I will absolutely be back to try a different sandwich or maybe even get the Turkey Reuben again very soon!

    Let's get the legal disclaimer out of the way... as an official "yankee", I'm required to say:…read moreNothing will ever truly replace a New York lox bagel. But Jax Bread is probably the best you're going to get in Jacksonville. And it's excellent on its own merits. I ordered the lox bagel and it hit all the right notes: a perfectly chewy bagel, super fresh toppings, and the ideal cream cheese-to-bagel ratio (which matters more than people realize). Everything tasted fresh and was thoughtfully put together (more proper ratios). The service is always lovely, and I've genuinely never had anything here that wasn't delicious. This visit, I also grabbed the day-old mystery 3-pack of bagels so I could carb out a few more times this week. They're just as tasty, freeze beautifully, and at $2.99 it's an unbeatable deal. I'm already eyeing Jax Bread for some Christmas goodies this year because there are so many great things to choose from. If you haven't been yet, fix that.

This is my third time ordering online, and it's becoming clear there's little care put into what's being sent out. Both items I received were inedible.

I was welcomed into the store as soon as I entered. The young man asked if it was my first time at the bakery. Then he took his time to give me a tour of the sweet and savory bakery items that they have on display and taught me how to select items by choosing a basket and a set of tongs for my choices. I purchased a banana muffin, which was almost as big as my fist and still could only eat half of it in a sitting. I also ordered the turkey sandwich on a ciabatta roll, which was just the perfect combination of meat, greens, avocado, and cheese in a beautifully baked roll. Have you ever had a sandwich whose flavors build with every bite? This is truly a unique bakery in Jacksonville, and we should do all that we can to support it. Tell your friends! You won't be disappointed.

This is one of those places that we love but haven't been to in far too long. We both tried things that were new to each of us tonight as well, which was cool. I ordered The Ole Smokie, with everything on it and choose cheddar cheese. My first thought when it was brought to the table was "oh, I'll probably have to go at this with a fork & knife" but I decided to give it a shot as intended. I'm glad I did because the bread held up surprisingly well! As far as ingredients go, the brisket was good and smokey. There was a good mix of everything else and more than enough cheddar. My wife ordered the Chicken Cheesesteak. She also had a choice of cheese and she picked whizz. The thing that separates this from what people might expect is that it's chunks of chicken, not shredded chicken. She said that's not a bad thing at all, just a change from what some might exoect. She thought it was a welcome change. She liked their cheese whizz a lot and liked the roll as always, so she was glad she tried it. It's worth noting that both sandwiches were big enough that we both took half of each home. I didn't get the name of the two people that were working there this evening, but I'd still like to give then a shout out. They were both incredibly patient with the customers ahead of us and they didn't make us feel rushed even though we were there fairly close to the time they close on Friday evenings.

Ordered at the front counter and was greeted by a friendly young lady... good start. I went in planning to get the muffaleta off the specials board. They checked on it, but no luck... they were out of the cuts needed. I was pointed toward the Italian, but my buddy already grabbed that and I felt like being different. Noticed another special on the wall, a smoked brisket sandwich. Can't remember the exact name, but that's what I went with. Instead of chips or their homemade tots, I grabbed the balsamic roasted brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Tables weren't the cleanest and were a little wobbly, but nothing deal-breaking... we made it work. Food came out pretty quick and looked solid. Flavor-wise... a little mixed. The brussel sprouts were very flaky and leafy, almost crumbled apart. You really had to work your fork to get a bite. I was picturing larger roasted halves. Sauce was fine, nothing bad, nothing special. I'd give those a 3 out of 5. The brisket sandwich was interesting. The meat was very fatty and kind of tough to chew through. Not sure if that's just the cut or the prep. I ate about three-quarters of it. It wasn't bad, just didn't hit the way I hoped. Probably still thinking about that muffaleta. Another 3 out of 5. I'd come back, no doubt... but next time I'm sticking with what they're known for. Those cheesesteaks always look great, and that's probably the move. Today was about trying something different, and I'm glad I did... even if it didn't knock my socks off.
