14 Fun things to do in Jacksonville
"Tucked away in Jacksonville's historic San Marco neighborhood is date night favorite, Taverna. Serving up seasonal European fare, Taverna's popularity recently led to an expansion in space. Pair selections from the award winning wine list with decadent dishes created with fresh local ingredients."
"The best people watching in San Marco Square comes as a free bonus for diners enjoying the covered patio at Taverna. The interior is stacked on two levels with a tidy bar running from front to back. Chef Sam Efron (and wife Kiley) have attracted a loyal following since opening in 2009."
"Picture the warmth and rustic nature of an Italian kitchen and you will get Taverna. If you are looking to sample some Mediterranean inspired cuisines make a stopover here. The restaurant is loved for its interesting combination of flavors."
"St. Augustine Distillery, a liquor-making operation producing bourbon, gin, rum, and vodka, locates its operation inside a former ice plant building … which is where the distillery’s on-site cocktail bar found its name. The Ice Plant uses fresh-pressed juices and top-quality spirits (including plenty sourced from St. Augustine Distillery) to craft flavorful cocktails like The Rising Sun (Japanese whiskey, shochu, toasted sesame, lemon, seltzer) and The Edge and Back (tequila blanco, Campari, St. Augustine-grown datil pepper, cucumber, grapefruit, lemon). The bar also specializes in ice, offering fresh-cut versions from a large master block and custom cubes."
"Maybe you think, “bar with some bar food.” But, you couldn’t be more wrong. Like their carefully crafted cocktail and beverage menu, their brunch menu is tasteful in every sense of the word. From the roasted beet and apple salad to brunch tacos to buttermilk fried chicken and hoecakes, their menu is healthy, hearty, and colorful."
"The Ice Plant sits in a once-functional ice plant, now converted as a popular industrial-steampunk styled luxury bar. The ice is made fresh in-house and delivers a really unique twist. The Ice Plant is likely most well-known for its inventive and captivating custom cocktail menu."
"At Biscottis' lunch goers indulge in an inventive menu full of well crafted American and European classics with a charming Southern twist. Enjoy the casually sophisticated bistro setting while dining on signature salads complete with made from scratch dressings, along with small plates ideal for sharing, tasty sandwiches and gourmet pizzas. Lunching on the weekend?"
