Best Casual Restaurants in Jacksonville

We went here for Sunday brunch to celebrate my youngest daughter's thirteenth birthday as she is an aspiring pastry chef. The service was outstanding, Dylan was our server and he was very attentive. I saw prior reviews that weren't as favorable, but this is Disney and you are paying for service, ambiance and our brunch was fabulous. We are a family of 6 (2, adults, and 4 teens 13-18) and we bought an entire cake to go so I believe without the cake it was probably about $50/person, we had 3 appetizers (French baguette, warm butter croissant and the French toast bites), all specialty beverages and 6 entrees. 3 of my kids had waffle entrees, 1 had pancakes, my husband had the croque monsieur and I had the ham, rosemary and goat cheese quiche. Everything was fantastic and served in exquisite form. Dylan also graciously took pictures of us at the table and by the carousel in the center of the main dining room. In my mind, the visit was well worth a special occasion/vacation. The quiche was certainly the best I have ever had and paired well with the arugula salad. The rose cappuccino was definitely a unique treat and the cinnamon donut holes served with the matcha latte were divine.

As usual had a wonderful experience. Busy Valentine weekend and food was still fabulous,service was friendly and good. Our go to dinner place when visiting St. Augustine. A must try. The white sangria is terrific. The food is always consistently good. The atmosphere is a must see. Very romantic setting.

We sat outside and it was a lovely evening. The gnats were out, but there’s not much to be done about that. The ambience and view were fabulous. It was quiet and very pleasant. Our servers were attentive and polite. The food was excellent. We shared the chorizo Del Mar and a datil oyster special that were both exceptional. I had the beef cheeks which were delicious as were the accompaniments. It was a little rich for my wife’s taste, but it was delicious. She had the Trio, which was picanha, delicious ember chicken thigh and house made Malbec chorizo. She enjoyed it very much. A great experience. It is not inexpensive but there is plenty of value in the quality of the dining experience!

Beautiful view while we dined. Awesome wine selection. And Samantha was a wonderful server :)

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
