Went here and enjoyed everything you see. The drinks were good. Especially the expresso Martini & the red cocktail I can't recall the name of. Shrimp scampi was my dish and omg, it was perfect. The right amount of everything, only added some pepper (b/c I put it on everything). Service: Our waitress was knowledgeable and provided A1 service. Ambiance: We sat outside because it was a beautiful day, nice to people watch.
Arguably one of the best brunch spots in Jax. Long warm and cozy bar with fantastic drinks and service. Their espresso martinis are a ten-out-of-ten! Their crab cake eggs Benedict are fantastic. If you're a carnivore, check out their hanger steak and eggs; a home run on a plate. If you're in to great food at reasonable prices, Taverna is your go-to!
Another amazing meal and time at taverna! This place never lets me down. The special was Steak - 14 oz porcini rubbed ribeye, horseradish mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, mushroom + leek Marsala, demi-glace. The mushroom and leek Marsala was so flavorful, so delicious!! Also pictured is the fettuccine with scallops, a little pricey for a pasta dish but worth every penny!
Service was excellent and food was delectable. My husband and wanted Mediterranean food before our concert and this place came up in our search. It wasn't quite the Mediterranean menu I was expecting but it satisfied the palate. My husband ordered a clams and mussels appetizer with pasta and I ordered the steak frites. Both were perfectly portioned for our appetite. I ordered the steak medium and it came out perfectly pink and tender. The clams, mussels and spaghetti was tasty. Great lively but intimate ambiance.
I came with my sister in law for her birthday. Beautiful place! Glad I made a reservation because it was packed! Food was good! Loved the Parmesan Truffle Fries! Sis got the seafood stew and loved it! I got the short rib and it was tender and delicious! Our waitress Chamar (I hope I got her name right) it was a very pretty and unique name! But she was awesome and the service was great! Will definitely be back again!
I came to Taverna to celebrate a friend's birthday, and I was thrilled that she chose this spot because it's one of my favorites. I had the steak frites, which consisted of a beautiful cut of meat and crispy fries with Parmesan, garlic, and herbs. The demi glaze tied this meal together perfectly. We also indulged in some craft cocktails and enjoyed espresso martinis for dessert. It was a fantastic celebration with delicious food and drinks!
I was craving Italian food for our date night! This pulled up near the hotel. Food was fantastic! I didn't even have time to take a picture. They will make anything you want, how you want. I had the Mushroom, Ricotta and spinach Ravioli with Alfredo sauce and Blackened Chicken, my husband had Spaghetti and Meatball, so delicious! Place was super busy, modern with a rustic feel. Took a while to get our food- I highly Recommend ordering ahead of time.
Ambience was nice inside, spacious not too loud and enjoyable for intimate dinner setting. Wait staff was attentive and very kind. Food was mediocre pizza didn't have much of a taste just lacked seasoning in sauce or crust. Burger was okay, nothing to write home about. We loved the spritz drink its very refreshing and tasty. Gimlet was a bit sweeter also very good. Chipwich cookies were hard nothing amazing either.
Ok seriously mad at myself for not trying this place sooner! It has been recommended and on my list for a while but the FOOD exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Steak and fries , steak medium. Such great flavor on both the steak and the fries. The fries were crispy and each one had that truffle parmesan goodness on it! Joseph's dish though stole the show! I am not normally a ravioli person. I will eat them but I don't ever order them. Every bit was packed with flavor and the peas seriously elevated this dish... I am seriously already thinking about when we are going back to get more. Our server Adam was great too, his recommendations were spot on. It was raining If you still have tried them you definitely need to do it soon, I do not believe you will be disappointed.
