Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Jacksonville Beach

If I could give 6 stars I would! Absolutely the best dining experience I have had in years, and it was lunch service on Christmas Eve. Jeff, our server, was outstanding. It’s rare, in fine dining these days, to fine an establishment that cares both from a culinary and service perspective. Jeff and the 11 South staff knocked it out of the park. We will be back and thanks to 11 South as you truly are a dining gem.

This is a gem; we had Christmas eve lunch on the open-air roof deck. The food was fresh and excellently prepared, ser vice was perfect and the price was reasonable. We will be returning when we are in this area.

Our party was a little early for our reservation, however we were seated immediately. We were given light-up holiday hats for everyone in the party because we made a reservation online. So cool! The ambiance was lovely, all decorated for Christmas, a cool little bar, and awesome holiday themed cocktails. The waiter was very attentive. Amazing food! Get the burger! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The shrimp bisque was also quite good. My only negative is the price, but I’d rather spend $150 for a meal that supports a small business, with quality hand-crafted food than pay the same for a chain restaurant of the same predictable menu items. We love St. Augustine and come up every December for Night of Lights. We hope to visit Forgotten Tonic again next year!

Excellent service and food my husband my daughter and grandson sat at a lovely table in the room off of the bar, which was much more quiet than the bar area. The brussels sprouts are fantastic. The prime rib sandwich was great and the butter chicken was superb.!

From start to finish, everything about the High Tea was lovely! They even graciously accommodated a vegetarian! Everything was delicious, the service was 5-star. We’ll be back again.
