Amazing!! The food, the service, the decor were just amazing!! I took my girlfriend here on a Sunday for our Valentine’s Day outing. She ordered the Peking Duck Prepared Two Ways and I ordered the Rack of Lamb. My lamb was delicious and easy to eat off the bone. I tried her Peking Duck. I have had duck before and knew what to expect, however this time was different. The duck tasted so much better than I ever expected!! Best ever! Our server, Troy did a wonderful job. He was courteous and checked on us frequently to make sure we had every we needed. My girlfriend was given a complimentary long stem rose at the end of the night. She and I confirmed that we would return to eat there again!!

Thursday nights are Pasta Nights and all but one of our party of four had their choice of pastas and sauces. All were obviously homemade and very fresh and delicious. The non-pasta eater had a fish special of the day, innovatively prepared and also very fresh. The waitress was happy to comply with a few special requests. There were plenty of wine choices that appealed to us.

Had drinks & tapas in the bar on Friday night. Happy hour, great food and live entertainment starts at 7:30! Had a great time, and decided to make this a weekly stop!

The executive summary of this place – exquisite. From the moment you walk through the door the place is a trip to dining bliss. The hostess had a smile and offered a warm greeting and took me to my table in the main dining area.
The interior is warm and welcoming. You feel immediately at ease. The interior choice of colors, the art, and the table settings were obviously chosen with great care. Good Feng Shui here… I didn’t have to wait long for my server and he asked if I had been in before and gave a wonderful explanation of the menu and asked what I liked or if he might suggest something. It was the perfect balance of just what I wanted/needed to know. The kitchen is open and you can actually see your meal being prepared which I appreciated.
The Big Eye Tuna Poke Martini (the tuna was definitely sushi grade and so fresh!) For the main course I was looking forward to a fish dish because they are known for hard to find fresh seafood (like opaka-paka – Hawaiian Pink Snapper), but saw the French Onion Crusted Angus Prime Rib with Gruyere Yorkshire Pudding.
Coming from Colorado (A Beef State) I’m very picky about prime rib. After assurance from my server, I ordered the prime and was smiling when it arrived. It was a high quality cut and perfectly prepared. The onion crust only enhanced the quality cut of sublime prime. There was so much that I had to take the remainder home.
For desert I chose Tony’s Famous Crunch Bar – created by a famous local chef from Mezza Luna who passed. Chocolate mousse meets crispy wafer heaven…

This is a great place for a happy hour. They have these great mini martinis and wine specials. The appetizers are amazing. I sampled the flatbread and potstickers. There were a lot of options that don’t appear to be on their main menu online.
Our waiter was very attentive and patient considering we were there till after closing. I would try them for dinner too, there were lots of great options.
For our entrees, I selected the braised short rib (served with mashed potatoes) and the hubby opted for the Kobe beef burger (served with bistro frites and homemade ketchup–plus a delicious horseradish sauce).
The entrees were perfectly prepared and very satisfying. The food is of extremely high quality, which is no surprise since it is a “chef’s” restaurant for sure!
Trip Advisor had this to say: #6 of 43 area restaurants.
Excellent Food, Friendly Staff…First Rate! We’re locals and this is a welcome addition to Atlantic Beach. A well run kitchen with a great staff. Jacksonville Magazine voted us as one of the top 25 restaurants in the area.
