Excellent experience! Sean and Sig are awesome behind the bar–guiding, providing, and communicating! Chef Matt is amazing and also comes out to chat! Everything we had was amazing–both drinks and food.

This is such a great place.. Enjoyed Tapas and Spicy Margarita’s here! I asked bartender to make it skinny for me and it was delicious! Happy hour menu is awesome and can’t wait to go back and try to whole fried fish. The location is great to have dinner here and walk out to the beach.

This place is the biggest hidden gem in Jacksonville and is a MUST visit. The picture you see attached is the BEST pork chop I have ever had in my life. (It’s called the Veal chop on the menu) the mashed potatoes, mushrooms and onions were also amazing.

We went for happy hour and loved it! Our waitress was great and our tapas were very tasty. The only issue was that we parked on the rooftop at 5 pm on a Friday. Then left at 8 pm. Some dude was the end of the ramp when we were leaving telling us we needed to show him our receipt because it was private property. We paid cash and left it on the table and did not see anywhere that we needed it to leave our parking situation. He got kind-of tough guy and then we told him to F-off and took off while he was still lecturing us. He was not there when parked but gave us a hard time when we left. We left not talking about our great experience but what a D that guy was.

Great experience, the food was great. Highly recommend the cheese plate as well as the char grilled quail. The Octopus was good as well. Had the Kentucky breakfast old fashion as well as the curious George old fashion. The bartender was great, she gave us great advice and let us try some special in house versions of tequila. Just a great little place with delicious food and drinks

Out first time here! The staff was really friendly and professional. This is tapas place so all the dishes were shareable. We ordered the hummus, the empanadas, salad and the tuna.

The bartender was fantastic. She is an absolute asset to the place. She was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent drink recommendations. They would be nothing without her. The food was lack luster and overpriced. I ordered the seafood empanada. It has a beautiful presentation but it was so bland. It was just unseasoned seafood in a fried dough pocket. My husband ordered the short ribs and again, bland. It didn’t have any salt at all and the after taste was very fishy. It’s a strange mind warp to have beef that tastes fishy. We assumed that taste came from the oyster gravy they serve it with. That same gravy was on the mushrooms and didn’t taste fishy. The potatoes and the mushrooms were the sides to his short ribs and they were delicious. I would only recommend this place for drinks.

Rose did an excellent job on creating a first impression of our first dine-in experience. We never eaten here before and after the meal we ate, I look forward to future visits. She knew the menu well and recommended some great menu items, one of which was the carrot cake and it was amazing. She was friendly and attentive and the food was incredible. Perfect portions and super delicious. I want to mention that the hostess was super sweet too. I really enjoyed my brunch at The G.O.A.T and I highly recommend anyone to visit.
