RESTAURANT ORSAY REVIEWS

Orsay was amazing! The atmosphere was incredible and the service was incredible. We both loved the deserts and their coffee was so good. The only downfall was that both our meats were just ok. I got the salmon on a bed of roasted leeks and homemade gnocchi which was incredible but I think it would have paired better with chicken. I felt like the salmon kind of pulled away from the amazing flavors. If you want to be treated like royalty and enjoy amazing desserts, come here!

"A spontaneous trip to Riverside led me to Orsay, and I couldn't be happier. Excellent service, a lovely outdoor dining experience, and truly exceptional food and drink. The Bourbon and French Toast was surprisingly phenomenal – the best I've ever had. And the cocktails? Flawless. I had to order a second! Highly recommend."

Excellent service and food! Celebrated my birthday here. Had the trois foie gras, escargot, the duck breast, and the baked Alaska everything was great!

RUE SAINT MARC REVIEWS

Wow! Rue Saint Marc is an absolute gem in the heart of downtown San Marco. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. We chose to celebrate Valentine's weekend here, and we couldn't have made a better choice. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—making us feel like VIPs throughout our meal. The passion the team shares for their craft truly shines through in every detail, from the beautifully curated decor to the meticulously prepared dishes. Now, let's talk about the food! Each course of the five-course Valentine's menu was a masterpiece, but the appetizer stole the show. The fresh crab, paired with luxurious Russian Coldwater caviar, was a heavenly combination that melted in our mouths. It was evident that the chef pours heart and soul into every bite, creating an experience that is nothing short of extraordinary. Even the water was elevated, treated with UV light purification—this attention to detail is what sets Rue Saint Marc apart. Overall, the vibe of the restaurant is eclectic yet modern, making it a perfect backdrop for a special occasion. We left feeling like we had experienced something truly magical, and we can't wait to return! Jacksonville is incredibly lucky to have a dining destination like Rue Saint Marc. Highly recommend!

Wow - this place is insane! Tried the tasting menu and it was exceptional - tasty, fresh, modern and did I mention tasty!!! San Marco/ Jacksonville is spoiled rotten to have such an amazing modern French/Italianish establishment. Highlights amuse bouche trio, local prawn dish! The staff were amazing and the service top notch - if Joel Robuchon would hire this brigade! Mixologist was a legend can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic evening. We did the Rue experience tasting menu and the food and wine pairings were top notch. It reminded us of our recent trip to Europe.

LE PETIT PARIS MANDARIN REVIEWS

I’ve been a fan of this place since they opened this first location in Mandarin. They never fail to impress me, and the food is always delicious! Their pastries are absolutely amazing! I just got a croissant and an apple tarte today. If you ask, they can warm them up for you. It’s such a charming and cozy cafe with French music playing in the background. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re definitely missing out!

This place was INCREDIBLE. I can definitely see why they stay busy. I'm not a salad person like that and this was the best salad I have ever had in LIFE. I will most definitely return and will be bringing more friends. From the atmosphere, to staff being soooo attentive, and the delicious food, this was an A+ experience all around.

One of my favorite coffee places when I am taking a break from showing properties. Yes my family helps with my Open Houses and showing so I always surprise them with delicious chocolate croissants and the cappuccinos here are amazing.
