Restaurants near Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts

It was a great evening with incredible food and wonderful service.

I took my mother here to celebrate her recent retirement. The staff did such a great job of recognizing her important milestone and did so much to make the moment really special. And the food was absolutely amazing. Every thing we had was extremely well prepared and tasted incredible.

The seafood was well taken care of and the oysters specifically were meticulously clean. The waiter did an excellent job presenting all of the options in an easy to understand manner. I appreciated the guidance since there were so many options and his recommendations were absolutely perfect. Everything was cooked the way we asked and the cocktails were great too. Shoutout to the fastest bartending staff in Jax. Those drinks came out so fast. Bring your wallet, but city grille is among the top 3 restaurants in jacksonville. PS - plenty of non-seafood options so go ahead and bring that person who hates seafood.

Dining here before the Bonnie raitt concert. Reservations at 6. A little slow to be seated and seemed a little disorganized for seating when a crush of walk ins arrived. … but once seated, servers were doing a good job of handling the rush crowd. Food was good. We enjoyed our meal. And boy is it nice to just walk across the street to the concert. I would come here again.

The Cowford Chophouse has become our favorite restaurant in Jacksonville. The food and drinks are amazing! The staff are always wonderful!! It’s so convenient and accessible. Truly a fine dining experience that is worth every penny!!
