جاكسونفيل

I have lived in the area for a long time, San Marco, and other areas. Having a boat the landing has been a pleasure for years. Watching fireworks from the water, Live bands and plenty of activities for kids during special events. I think it's a great location to see different types of interest close to restaurants with a view of the st Johns river. Also close to Jacksonville stadium which host one of the largest tvs in the US and also near is friendship fountain, also one of the largest in the world, which u can walk right across main street bridge to see up close. Yes it needs more business and attractions, but bad reviews on our own city won't help.

We have dined here several times and it has always been a pleasure. It's one of our favorites for many reasons, and in the top 5 would be the food! From great burgers, fried chicken, superb meatloaf to the great steak we shared last night, there is always one more reason for return visits--incredible desserts! Whether dining outside cafe-style, in the covered open air patio, or inside with great views, we enjoy the whole experience. Our server (Karl), was attentive and friendly...always a plus, and made the wait for our meal nothing to complain about.

We went in late on Saturday night. We were told that the kitchen was closing soon, and if we wanted to order something we should do so soon. So we felt a little rushed in the beginning. We were sat at a table in the lounge area, since the rest of the restaurant was closing. We considered leaving because the whole point of my husband and I going out was to get a rare date night. We wanted to eat a quiet, non rushed, kid free dinner. We decided to stay. I'm glad we did! Food was awesome! Service from Reed, the bartender was great! Sitting in the lounge did not change the level of service we received. Our salad and seafood appetizer were so yummy! Wish there was a tad bit more of lump crab in that seafood appetizer though. My steak was amazing and my husbands dish with rice noodles and shrimp was delish. The chocolate torte was a great finish to the meal. Can't wait to go back!

Hands down best venue in Jax for local and traveling artists and musicians. They always keep a good rotating craft beer selection (mostly local microbreweries) and the bartenders are always friendly. There are two stages, one inside and one outside, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home no matter where you're from or where you're going. There's also a restaurant, Spiffs Gastropub, attached next door that is owned by the venue owners and serves up fantastic food and drinks until 3am so you can get your after show munchy fix ; )

You can pretty much judge a place by how busy they are. Enough said! My biggest complaint is that they are so busy it can be hard to get seated. Considering how busy they are the service is great. These girls are wide open. The attitude of the staff is "eager to please". Food is great. Very little rift raft. Great crowd. Family friendly. Great value for an evening out or lunch any day.

I am happy to write this review~especially after reading some horrible reviews about other hotels. Check in was a breeze-+ warm cookies. Convenient parking, Ruth Chris's steak house on site as well As the house bar. The bed was sooooooo comfortable. Clean sheets and towels, clean room. Nice television, free Wi-Fi, beautiful view of the riverfront out our balcony. Coffee in the room. Toiletry Essentials in the bathroom. Snacks downstairs as well as A few essentials for sale by the front desk. Valet parking if you choose. Safe and secure location and a nice place to take a walk on the waterfront causeway. The right price and more than enough amenities to make us happy for one night. Oh, and very friendly staff!

Being a Marriott, it's always a good experience and friendly staff. The only thing that was strange was that their clocks were all an hour off, they didn't have a city brochure or map, and the outdoor pool was being worked on so no water. The indoor pool was available but quite small.

My daughter and I visited on a Wednesday with my 3 grandchildren. They were able to feed a giraffe and the lorikeets! It did cost extra at the exhibits to feed these animals. I think the extras should be included in the park entrance price. Some families may not have the money to pay for these extras and the children miss out on this experience. I think that the restaurants should be spaced out thru out the park. ( there were only 2) My grandson wanted to ride the train but we had 2 strollers and we had to pass and it was costly for the short distance if we would have ridden. We saw a kimono dragon, a snapping turtle, and the penguins being fed. We were able to see lots of animals... their favorites were the giraffes, kimono dragons, and the gorillas! Overall my grands loved the time we spent at the zoo!

We have had our daughter's birthday party here 2 years in a row. This year we got to experience all of the new upgrades and it was a great party!!! The staff is always very attentive and treat us well. This year we had a big Hello Kitty birthday balloon and when they were bringing it to the back it got caught in the door and broke. The staff asked where I bought it and they went to party city and bought a new one with her name on it! We love it here because you don't have to do anything, just show up and they take care of everything. For the comments saying that they "rush you out", in both years that we have had a party here we were never rushed and had plenty of time to do everything. The kids always have a great time!

It was our first time there. From the time we checked in the staff were extremely helpful. We had a party of 7 and only one of us had been before. We didn't have a long wait and once we got to our lane we had the best time. The wait staff were very attentive. Our kids and my husband had a great time. Somewhere we will definitely go again. Thank you for making our first experience there a great one!

I found it to be very well policed, and by that I mean a huge contingency of displaced individuals with a vast amount of issues tend to create an environment of chaos, but the proper amount of correct policing kept this to a minimum. A wonderful place for not only the disadvantaged, but a place where the advantaged can reach them without worry. America, we've got a huge problem.

My daughter, who is turning 13, wanted to visit the museum for her birthday. There were 11 of us, and three of the young kids were 5, 6, and 6. I thought the kids area was amazing and we had SO much! The gallery was breathtaking, except for the lady security guard who followed us the entire time and watching us like we were going to steal a painting or throw a party near the sculptures. The kids did wonderfully, as expected of 3 small children. Lots of questions and walking back and forth. They were really excited. The gardens were amazing, and I can't wait to go back when everything is in full bloom. We absolutely enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!

Always enjoy the Jazz concerts. I wish the Ritz would bring it back once a month on Fridays like it was in the past. I also miss the intimacy of having the jazz concerts in the area outside of the autorium. Really great price for the performances and the staff is always curious and friendly. Please bring Ken Ford back in 2017!

I love just the beautiful set up and freash produce,music just all the different varity of food and vendors great view of St Johs river Plus I live in the downtown area its one bus from home directly to market

I love the avenues mall with one exception ...The vendors in the center of the mall they try to hand you something when you walk by and when you say no thank you then they say they want to ask you a question and it's a continuous battle every time you walk back-and-forth in front of their booth so I try to avoid and go around but that means I can't visit the stores that area or anywhere near the annoying booths.

What a true underground type club should be, dark,but well lit enough by cool lighting to stumble your way to a packed dance floor for more 80's, goth, industrial music,lol or whatever the genre happen's to be that night, great DJ's such as the Legendary Local Hero of the Record Crates @Robert Goodman etc & Great drink prices, party central you can book for your own use or see local artists setup tables to display art,etc. or see an occasional live act,band,burlesque show from the amazing local IDF group & last but certainly not least meet the coolest people in town w/o the uppity crusty attitudes or those too hipster for their own clique,bs,lol..esp old school friends,many fun DAZE & nights had here & surely many more to come,good times..keep it up,the good job,that is..cause that's better than noses in the air,lol
