From EU Jacksonville: Four restaurants that provide a good mix of tasty food and delightful libations that make them some of the favorite places to eat and drink in Jacksonville. Written by Jessica Fields.






Southside: Moxie

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the St. John’s Town Center, Moxie’s distinctive building rises as a beacon to hungry and thirsty shoppers in need of an oasis. The cuisine at Moxie is best described as modern Southern, with a focus on classic dishes of the South presented with fresh and seasonal ingredients, usually with some kind of twist. Happy hour at Moxie is truly delightful, with good deals to be had on beer, wine and classic drinks. The beer list is heavily local, which I appreciate. Their house cocktail menu consists of nice, complex drinks that incorporate the more esoteric ingredients available to the modern bartender. A great bonus for those who choose not to imbibe alcohol are the handmade sodas that contain various fruits, herbs, spices, and interesting ingredient preparations that are unique to Moxie. The bar experience at Moxie is sophisticated and modern in a comfortable way.

It’s easy to find restaurants that have good bars and serve good food. Depending on your mood, you can have a number of different experiences, from eating fried food while drinking cold beer in a rustic environment to having a high-end dining experience with luxurious cocktails and huge wine lists in a meticulously decorated interior, and everything in between. The variety that is available to us is truly part of what makes our lives richer, fuller, and happier here in Jacksonville.
