JJ's Bistro

Tasty dinner at JJ's bistro. The restaurant felt like we were dining in France, and a great spot for a relaxed dinner. We started with the mussels which I would recommend. For my entree, I had the filet with lobster risotto. I ordered my steak rare, and it came out over cooked. I told the waiter and they quickly were able to bring me out a new one which was cooked perfectly. Definitely save room for desert. They come around with a large board of all the home made deserts for the day.

We go to JJ's quite often. The servers are always so sweet and very attentive. The atmosphere is so cozy and it's just makes you feel like you're not still in Florida the food, oh my gosh, the food, I crave their food it is some of the best French food. I think Karen Jacksonville. It is definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

Great place for those looking for an intimate environment to enjoy a quiet dinner off the main drag in Jacksonville Beach. Upscale French bistro offering standard French fare with well versed and friendly staff. Tonight we went with the Parisian Trio and Salmon. Escargot was the highlight of our meal. Hearty portion of deshelled Escargot swimming in a light garlic cream sauce. Salmon entree was small and was served with a starch, vegetable, and salad. Caesar Salad was a bit too vinegary, next time I will go with the standard mixed green salad. While I didn't find the entree to be memorable I still left satisfiedSadly I didn't leave room to try one of their thirty homemade desserts although I suggest you do!Open for lunch too during the week!

My friends and I went to JJ's to celebrate September birthdays. It was my first time and we went for Saturday brunch.Our server was friendly and helpful. We shared a bottle of wine. Some of us wanted merlot and others cabernet. Our server suggested a nice blend that we all loved. If you love wine they have the largest selection I have ever seen at a restaurant.I started with a cup of French onion soup. Wow was it good! So much flavor and who doesn't love cheese;) We all enjoyed the complimentary bread and butter which went nicely with the soup.For my main entree I chose the blue crab and avocado salad. I highly recommend this dish! The blue crab was served on top of tabbouleah with a nice field green salad. The house made dressing was tasty and light. Oh and pastries and cookies oh my. If you are in the mood for French cuisine give them a try;)

White table clothes..candle light and exceptional service. Fantastic food and great friends. That is the memory of what I left JJs with. From start to finish Betty and Ben took great care of our crew of 6. I had the croquet monsieur which was served warm and the quality of the ham and real Swiss melted perfectly inside a Brioche slices was a true food experience.The wine service is 5 star and they have a bakery that makes cakes for your occasions and a full line of bakery goods. They have wine dinners at their 2 locations and I hope to attend one soon for another experience. This place meet everything I hoped it would andI honestly say one of the finest dining experiences I have had in a while.

Amazing, what a wonderful experience we had During Saturday brunch. The place is a hidden gem! To begin with, they have a lovely patio outside for dinning Al fresco. As you enter, you will be amazed by a large variety of wines and a nice case full of deserts. Incredible variety as well. There are already made meals you can get such as quiche among others, finally loads of cookies. Can I say paradise? We had a wonderful meal, I ordered the delicious mussels with fries and they were superb. Our server was also outstanding. He suggested we go with the Bordeaux and even give us a tasting to ensure we liked the drink. Our party ordered a variety of dishes, but I heard from everyone that the French onion soup was out of this world. To close we got to enjoy the most decadent gran marnier and strawberries cake with a nice cup of coffee. For sure we brunched in true French style. I cannot recommend this place enough, so glad to have this wonderful gem in Ponte Vedra Beac

Everything my party of four ordered was near impeccable. The chef has a light touch; balanced textures, flavors and seasoning. Attentive and efficient service.

We have been to JJ's less than 4 or 5 times over the last few years. We decided to try it for New Year's Eve dinner (2023). First of all, if you have a hankering for a French bakery and an excellent selection of French wines, this is the place. JJ is the boss on getting French wines. They also have a restaurant which serves French cuisine. At least one of our visits over the years was sub-par - all establishments have off days. But this visit was very good. All dishes were flavorful and presentation was excellent. We had the special, Foie Gras, which really was more a Pate' than Foie Gras, but was pretty good. Then each of our party of 4 had Filet Mignon with Creamy Lobster Risotto (one of the evening's specials). The Filet was tender and prepared well. The creamy lobster Risotto was good too, but our only complaint was it had zero Lobster flavor. That was the only disappointment of the evening. The one bottle of wine was excellent ($75), and the dessert, while pricey at $16 a dessert was very good and well presented (see photos). Overall, it was a great meal, great service, and a good environment, but what seemed a little pricey for the overall experience in our opinion (over $530 for 4 people which includes dessert). It's worth a visit if you haven't tried it, it's unique. Plenty of parking.

We recently had dinner at this restaurant and chose to sit outside. Having said that, it was not a great ambiance given the constant traffic on A1A. Maybe some outdoor music or large plants surrounding the tables would help with that issue. The food was good, though. We had the French onion soup, the salmon, the duck, the shrimp and scallop risotto, and the hangar steak. We were too full for dessert, but they had plenty of dessert options.

Great food and wine in what is basically a wine store and bakery with a restaurant added on.Always start with the glass of Champagne. We were delighted to find our favorite Laurent-Perrier sparkling rosé. Of course French Onion soup is de rigueur. The seafood is always outstanding. I order whatever is on special. The trout is good too. I have also opted for the beef entrées which are also fantastic with a nice French red.Desserts and ice cream options are vast and worth saving room for.JJ is a high roller wine dealer. He gets the best stuff which is saying a lot in these supply chain challenged times. Practice your high school French with JJ. He hosts wine dinners which are said to be quite the affairs. I've not been able to attend one yet.
