I do enjoy a black lab. Sometimes even a black bone...

This place is by far one of the classiest places in Jacksonville. Anyone looking to start a new restaurant should approach Jeff and Shawn for advice. Quality food and owner engagement in customer service is a must and these two have added a wonderful touch to the neighborhood. It's good to see their business doing so well.
brainstormer is correct. One step into this place and you will know how much time and money and sweat-equity Jeff and Shawn have invested. The atmosphere and ambiance are very inviting. The workmanship and details of the shop itself (concrete countertops, wood floors *how did you do that transition?* etc.) are reflected in the quality products provided. It just shows a willingness to invest in the area and I believe that others will follow.

The real question is. Were the dogs black??
As a matter of fact, yes. Nice to see a comment makes me sound like a racist. What real truth are you even talking about? Apparently some people just like to judge the character of someone via an internet message board. Also, I didn't say I would've said the N word anyways, jso I have no clud what the fuss is about, or you're trying to paint me something I'm not.

I was in there yesterday after work and it is awesome! They really did a great job. I wish the weather had been nicer, because the outside garden truly is a sanctuary. There were several huge bushes of basil I wanted to steal. Their happy hour prices are awesome, the bartender was friendly and helpful and their chicken salad was amazing! 2 thumbs up!! I was going to update my Jax review blog with a blurb and photos but I'm too tired today, so I'll get on that tomorrow. Can't wait to go back.

Not to mention the fact that the bar tenders there truly are of the “young muscular and engaging variety”.

Sounds good enough for me to go. I haven't seen the wine bar yet, but apparently the decor and the mens look good.

Just for the record that was a reference to the description of them Stevendare made in his article, which I found hilarious.

Ungodly, sumptuous desserts I love this description. I think it fits the red velvet cake to the tee. Is the artist's works mentioned still hanging on the wallls? They look interesting.

Great Article Stephen. The place is very comfortable. The waiters and the bartenders are cool. Of course the art work is off the hook.

my friend and I stopped in here yesterday after searching for apartments, not only is what they've done amazing but after living in jacksonville my entire life i've never met a friendlier group of people that I have in springfield, Shawn showed us around the garden and everyone is very welcoming. definately a no brainer now moving from riverside to springfield knowing there's a place like that around the corner!
