Coop 303

First dinner in Jacksonville FL for us, and if this is a sign of the food here, this trip will be very enjoyable. I was little nervous based on some of the other reviews, but glad we still tried. The ambiance was so cute in the heart of Atlantic beach. They have indoor and out seating, unfortunately it's freezing here so we sat inside. The entire staff from walk in and leaving were so friendly and engaging. Only bad thing is parking. Restaurant is located in like a little strip and it was packed so took us a while driving around to find a spot. The food...everything we ordered was so good from the drinks to desserts. Our server was great. Service was timely. He was so attentive probably had one too many drinks(haha). We started the meal with the lamb lollipops, which were Delicious.Then the mains were hot honey salmon that was cooked perfectly and I could of drank the asparagus sweet onion puree. Whole fish fry, and the catch of the day was red snapper. The fish was cooked perfectly, very flaky and tasty. Red potatoes and Mac and cheese were great sides as well. Then ended the meal with a hot caramel apple cobbler. Breaking into the warm flaky crust and diving into the hot caramel apple inside topped with warm ice cream, YUM YUM YUM! Great experience.

There were two servers for our table one for each side. We had to ask to order our drinks, had to go to the bar to get refills (we were there for 2 hrs, refill wasn't offered entire time) had to ask for steak knives on our side of table (other sides server only had enough for them) seating was extremely cramped and metal chairs were extremely uncomfortable. Very limited menu and the majority of the steaks we ordered ( at least 4) were either severely undercooked or overcooked. Servers disappeared frequently, Best thing they did all night was not take automatic gratuity. We had a large party reservation and 80 percent of our ppl said they would not return for the food or service. I try to give the benefit of doubt but it was one thing after the other during this experience. I just can't justify the mediocrity of the food for the price and service.I will say that the restaraunt was beautiful, the hostess was friendly and welcoming and the complimentary valet was a nice perk.

Coop 303 has a wonderful ambience located in the heart of Atlantic Beach! I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and loved how they could accommodate a large party!My husband and I tried both the Peaches and Cream appetizer and the Hot Chicken sliders which were both delicious. The peaches and cream stood out to us with the burrata on top! For our man we shared a burger and I was sad to see the burger looking like a frozen store bought patty. It lacked flavor and was a rather tough texture. The service was good considering our large party, however the food took awhile to get. If you're looking for good drinks and fried chicken, this is your place.

The service provided was far beyond my expectations. The aesthetics of the building adorned with Christmas decorations was an eyeful. The location is quite busy but the complimentary parking was perfect and convenient . The mussels were delicious and well seasoned. The red snapper was the star of the show, perfectly seasoned and huge. I really liked the brussel sprouts too. The fried chicken was fried to perfection but lacked seasons. All together the experience was wonderful and well deserved of a second trip back.

A wonderful experience at Coop 303! This area of Jax Beach is so cute, filled with a ton of walkable shops and restaurants. It was the weekend so it was quite packed, and most of the restaurants had over an hour wait. Fortunately, we walked into Coop 303 at the right time because the three of us were able to be seated right away.Service was fantastic! The menu is small, but filled with delicious options. We had to start with the Peaches & Cream - fried green tomatoes, burrata cheese, peach jam, and a mustard balsamic reduction. We also ordered the baked oysters, and as my main I went with the Coop 303 Fried Chicken Basket - 48 hour dill pickle brined. Incredible and so juicy! The truffle parmesan tater tots were the perfect side along with garlic mashed potatoes. If you didn't already know, I'm a potato girly. Hope to make it back here again for another delicious dinner!

Came here for brunch with a group of 8. Ambiance is very cute and modern and service was very good. Refilled my coffee many times and came around just enough (but not too much) and were very friendly. The appetizer Peaches & Cream was probably the best item I tried. Would go again just to order it again. Also had the hot chicken sandwich which was OK; wish the chicken was spicier and due to the aioli, it made the waffles a little soggy but I added a little Tabasco and it made it better. It came with a side of your choice and I got the Brussels sprouts. This is a great place for a group setting and they also have an upstairs area that opens during the evening.

Coop 303 was a pretty decent spot to eat at for brunch. We ate on the rooftop which was a great location (elevator available), although it gets very loud very fast with multiple parties.I tried the parmesan truffle fries for the appetizer, the breakfast bowl for brunch, and split the oreo cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake.In all, something that I noticed throughout all items was that everything seemed a little bland. Nothing stood out as unique or special to me, although it tasted good. The fries were great (double fried/battered), but could use a lot more parmesan in my opinion. The breakfast bowl was pretty mediocre, and I was left wanting more flavor, especially on the chicken (their specialty). The eggs were pretty watery.The oreo cheesecake was so light - a great desert, while the flourless chocolate cake was just too much chocolate for my taste, and I love chocolate. Not bad, just not for me.The service was amazing (very attentive). In all, a good brunch spot for a party, but don't expect food you think about later.

I think the tipping point of this mediocre dining experience was when we received the bill and saw that they had added a 4% "pay cash and save" charge to our bill. We live down the street and frequently dine at the Beaches Towne Center restaurants. This is the first time we've been charged for using a credit card, to say I'm offended is an understatement. Also, their valet parked cars in the middle of the neighborhood sidewalks. To be fair, they were busy on Friday night but it made walking to the restaurant dangerous and *especially* difficult for anyone handicapped and/or trying to use the sidewalks. #dobetter

This is a restaurant right in the heart of Atlantic Beach so there is a lot of people! If they don't not want children in the restaurant, maybe state that?!? We were 11 people with 3 kids and they were not allowed up stairs while we got a drink there; admittedly we thought we would see the ocean but it was all closed in and on the dark side...I guess they'd call atmosphere. We got 2 drinks and took them down stairs to our party. The waitress worked hard and everyone got their food. My chicken was crisp, my salad nice, the creamed spinach I didn't taste any flavor. Chix n waffles were a hit with the kids. My hubby liked his ahi tuna on rice noodles and everyone else seemed to like their food.

We Flew The Coop!Good ambiance on the ground floor, knowledgeable server with expedited cocktails from the nearby bar.Now the food: Chimichurri Shrimp was a flavor pack exciting combination with a spectacular presentation, my dish included a broken rubber-band embedded within the sauce. Upon notifying the manager of this event he informed me he would advise the Chief he as well as the server offered a free desert as compensation for this unusual circumstance. I passed expecting my meal to be comped - it wasn't.We shall not return..
