We go to Dwight’s whenever we can. We know the owner, his wife and many wait staff who are very pleasant and accommodating. Dwight invested his early years in advanced cooking and has kept his skills up through the years. My wife and I enjoy a salad and an appetizer, which is enough for us. No one will leave here disappointed!

Our server was wonderful, and the restaurant has a share option. She explained that we each could get a meal with 1/2 of one entree and 1/2 of another on certain menu items. We could also share an entrée for a modest price, which includes a separate plate with the vegetables of the day and your ravioli. We shared a chopped salad, which was a large portion, and their fabulous crab cakes. The crab cakes were the best we have ever had, with 95% crab meat and 5% filler. The homemade tartar sauce was amazing. The vegetables were brown sugared carrots and grilled zucchini. We did not try the ravioli, which the chef is famous for, due to my being full. My husband had the apple crisp with ice cream, which came with a birthday candle and singing servers. What a surprise. They have an excellent wine and beer list. The restaurant is wine and beer only. We highly recommend this uniquely decorated restaurant.

Dwight's is our favorite place for date night and any special occasion. Dwight and staff are always so wonderful and welcoming they truly make you feel like family. The food was *as always* absolutely to die for. We started with the seared scallop appetizer. Make sure you have some bread to soak up the butter!! Then we each had a salad. My fave is the palm salad and my husband enjoys the chopped salad. Then we both had the crab cakes.. the best we have ever had. You will never regret and evening at Dwight's :)

Best meal in Jacksonville. Shawn (waiter) is a superstar - So friendly and accommodating. Lamb chops are superior. While the exterior is nothing to look at, once inside this is a truly special place.
