Salad and soup came out ASAP, before I could ask for cheese he was gone.... Returned far too long later and I told him to cancel the rest of the meal....he said no I am sure it's coming out now..... only to disappear again and what felt like forever to bring the rest of the food. What should have been a quick and good meal ended up being far too long and not even mediocre. The ladies room was nasty and out of paper, when telling a staff member they seemed rather disinterested. Overall the staff was unsmiling, and disinterested. Maybe we will try again next year but not anytime soon.

After a busy day of shopping, my partner and I decided to grab some food before we headed home. We…read moreboth had Olive Garden in mind after years of not going, so this was the closest one that we were routed to via GPS. Upon entering, we noticed it wasn't busy at all (mind you, this was late, Saturday afternoon) and looked to be freshly remodeled within the past several years. The heavy, 2000s Tuscan aesthetic will be missed. We were promptly sat to a place of our choosing by a friendly host. Once sat, we were greeted by our server who was also very friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple cocktails which were VERY fairly priced (you rarely see that anymore) and went ahead with our orders of endless soup, salad, and breadsticks. Name me a better deal in any restaurant chain, I'll wait. Once we were finished with our meals, to go boxes were offered with entirely new portions. After this visit, I wondered to myself: why did we ever stop eating at Olive Garden? This location was beyond satisfactory and most importantly, looked to be well kept and clean. If you're looking to get your Olive Garden fix, this location is a great option and located right off of the highway. - Lou Sassle

Ordering was simple and convenient with a touchscreen setup at the counter, though I do think having a menu posted on the wall would make it even easier for first-time visitors. The wrap itself was huge, which was a nice surprise. Visually, it looked great -- definitely Instagram-worthy. But taste-wise, it didn't quite live up to the presentation. The chicken was a bit tough and messy to eat, and I only made it through half before calling it quits. The space itself was minimalistic in decor. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but it probably won't return.

Cedar and Olive was hands down the best meal in Jacksonville…read more We went for lunch and were guided by the warmest, most helpful staff. Let me tell you about the Tawook Sandwich, this thing is something special. The garlic spread they use combined with perfectly seasoned chicken, pickles, and just the right amount of crispy french fry tucked inside makes it one of the best things I have ever eaten. I'm not exaggerating. It's the kind of bite that stops you mid-conversation because you just need a moment to appreciate it. The shish kabob platter was equally incredible, the steak was impossibly tender and packed with deep, rich flavor. The hummus and pita rounded everything out beautifully, simple but executed with real care. What sets Cedar and Olive apart is that you can genuinely taste the passion behind every single dish. This isn't food that was just prepared, it was crafted with intention and creativity. If you're in Jacksonville, please do yourself a favor and go here. Don't think about it, just go. You will not regret it.

That makes the distinction clearer. The restaurant looks good, but the food felt like a polished,…read morescaled back version of Mediterranean cuisine rather than the authentic experience you expected. Cedar and Olive was a bit of a disappointment for me. The restaurant itself is very nice, with a clean, modern setup and an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the shish tawook and fattoush. Both tasted good, so the issue wasn't necessarily the quality of the food. It was the portions, pricing, and overall experience. For me, it felt like the gentrified version of Mediterranean food. Everything looked polished and was presented nicely, but some of the generosity and authenticity I associate with a great Mediterranean restaurant seemed to be missing. Mediterranean food is usually the type of meal where you leave full and satisfied. Here, I left wondering where the rest of my plate was. The shish tawook and fattoush were good, but for the price, the meal simply wasn't fulfilling enough. Customer Service was good, not stood out either good or bad. Nice restaurant, good food, and attractive presentation. But if I'm craving an authentic Mediterranean experience with generous portions and strong value, this probably wouldn't be my first choice.

We were seated promptly and the service was quick. Food wise, they have basic options for the kids (pizza, burger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders) which works for my family. We ordered the chicken tenders and burger for our kids and they ate 90% of their entrees. I ordered the pork belly slider appetizer as my entree and added a side salad. Both were very good- the sliders were just the right size. Only change for me would be a little less sauce on the sliders. The salad was big for a side salad and had fresh ingredients. My husband ordered the French dip sandwich and seemed to enjoy his as well. Overall, we like this tavern because it's close to home and easy with the kids. The food is good and the draft beers are ice cold. The vibe is nice for a local tavern- has the claw machines on the family side and pool, darts, golden tee, etc. on the bar side
