4.75 Random Tuesday eve before a show. Environment- Clean, open, modern Service- Sat at the bar, the bartender was awesome, good convo. Drinks- Delicious, she made her own recipe up that we opted to try- gin, rosemary, cherries. Food- We split the poutine and Bellweather salad. Poutine came out first, good but wish there was more gravy (and assuming we could have asked). Thinner fries. Salad- super flavorful and delicious- fresh. Will be back.

Tried this restaurant for lunch with my food besties and the ambiance and food were both worth the hype. I was surprised they weren't packed due to the location and time that we arrived but I also appreciated not being overwhelmed with people since we had a baby with us. My food was light and delicious and the flavors of the fish complemented the sides well. of course we tried the desert which had an interesting spin on Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Definitely recommend checking out this place if you're in the downtown area

The food has a Korean southern comfort fusion feel to me. We went for an early dinner and there were many Korean-fusion options on the menu, but also southern comfort foods. The server was excellent, the restaurant had a farmhouse industrial type of decor and the food came out quickly and tasted great. Delicious pineapple bread pudding topped with coconut ice cream!

Stopped by for a quick lunch. All got salads which were delicious! It was very quiet, not busy mid afternoon. Good music.

We needed a place near the stadium for dinner before opening night for the Jacksonville Icemen hockey game. Obviously, it's not really that close to the arena but close enough for an early dinner and still time to make the first puck drop. I opted for the sheep style burger with truffle and Parmesan tater tots. Perfect flavor profile (think In-N-Out animal style) and those tots were bangin'. I dumped the fresh and perfectly crispy tots out of the silver cup onto my plate and it was a way bigger serving than I anticipated. Our server was on point - friendly and attentive. We decided to split a dessert and chose the hummingbird bread pudding. Trust me when I say save room for this creation. DEEP FRIED - yes, all CAPS - bread pudding, salted caramel sauce, coconut ice cream, and toasted coconut crumble. Best dessert I've had in a long time but I will confess I'm a big fan of coconut. My only critique is that Bellwether is not closer to my house. If you need someplace to eat downtown, Bellwether should be on your short list.

What a lovely place to have lunch! Madeline was an absolute sweetheart who made it such a pleasant experience. Aside from being really good at her job, she was so sweet to our toddler daughter. The interior is modern and beautifully designed and the food is to die for! I highly recommend this establishment.

Went in around 8 pm on a Thursday night with reservations but it wasn't crowded. Service was quick a d staff was friendly. I went with the special burger of the day, it was really good! The table ordered Brussel sprouts, which were also good with a smokey mushroom taste. Quite place at the time we went, great for groups or a date night.

If you're going to the symphony or a broadway show it's walking distance from the theater and a great choice for dinner. We started the meal with boiled peanuts and tater tots. Both seeped in flavor. You're able to choose from 3 different flavor profile for the tots, we decided on their spicy version. Delicious. For mains, we had steak frites, the don don noodles with blackened chicken and their special burger for the night. I had the don don noodles and I definitely will be ordering again. It was spicy but for me it was perfect, left the spicy after burn but wasn't so hot I couldn't continue eating them. The steak was perfect cooked to order, the fries were delicious, highly recommend the Parmesan truffle, and the burger I was told was great. The service was quick, their happy hour lasts until 7pm even on a Friday and the restaurant is stylish with large format tiles, brick walls and an open concept.

I went to lunch with a friend. It was my first time. It was pretty crowded, but we got in early and didn't have to wait long. My friend ordered Poutine (Canadian gravy and cheese fries). I'm not a huge fry fan, but I could eat this everyday! What an awesome dish. I ordered a cheeseburger and a cup of roasted red pepper soup. The soup was amazing and I loved the burger too! The soup was creamy and hot and the burger was cooked perfectly with all the fixins! My cocktail was delicious! I was very pleased with my first visit. I look forward to coming back and trying other menu items;(
