Some of my favorite spots in the San Marco / Riverside area!!
One of the best restaurants in Jacksonville! I have seriously never had a bad meal here. It’s the perfect date night spot. They rotate the menu so you always get to experience new dishes. They also have the best espresso martini! Happy hour is M-F fr...
bb's restaurant and bar
Great Italian spot in Avondale! The Vodka Rigatoni & Bolognese are to die for. You also can’t skip the focaccia
Josephine
They have such a good happy hour!! The crab legs are 10/10
Oceana
This spot is such a great vibe for HH or a date night! The ember shrimp are a cannot miss
Gemma Fish + Oyster
One of our favorite taco spots! The ingredients are so fresh (the chicken is SOOO good).
Tepeyolot Cerveceria
The BBQ is so good! Pro tip - order the side combo and then get your meats al la carte! It’s the perfect meal to split and you’re able to get 4 of their amazing sides for a great price!
The Bearded Pig
You have to stop by for HH! They have such a great happy hour menu. Also would be a great anniversary or special occasion spot
City Grille & Raw Bar
This is a new spot in San Marco square! They have an extensive spritz menu and their sandwiches were all delicious!
Saleya Riviera Cafe
The wasabi crusted fish & kale Caesar = 🤍
The Local
The rooftop Happy Hour views are unmatched! They have excellent cocktails and appetizers as well. Then you can head downstairs for a delicious dinner
River & Post
Such a fun spot for pizza and do not skip the wings either! My favorites are the buffalo chicken, the delle Donne & the Hawaiian!!
San Marco - V Pizza Locations
Another great pizza spot! It’s a focaccia style dough and SO yummy! It’s so different
Electric Dough Pizza Co.
The sister restaurant to Bb’s and just as delicious! They both do rotating menus for dinner but I LOVE the brunch at biscottis! The quiche Lorraine & egg sandwich are my favorites. Definitely get the muffin of the day as your side!!!
Biscottis
Such great authentic Thai food! They also have a great vibe and the outdoor area is adorable when the weather is nice!
Blue Orchid Thai
Literally my absolute #1 sushi spot. The lunch special is unmatched and if you like crispy tuna then get the seaweed tuna!!!
Sake House
San Marco / Riverside Coffee Shops
Favorite weekend activity is trying out new coffee spots!!
Hands down best coffee on this side of town. The morning bun latte is my go to! The pastry case also rotates and literally every single thing in it is incredible. You also have to try the breakfast sandwich and avocado toast!!!
1748 Bakehouse
Another great coffee spot! This one is Murray Hill area. I am addicted to their quiche and the sourdough! Still a very good coffee as well
Community Loaves
