River & Post

River and Post features good food for brunch, great drink selections, and perhaps one of the best atmospheres of any restaurant in the Jacksonville area. The staff and service have always been stellar on our visits as well. This is a Riverside staple and a must visit if you're in the area. One of the better brunch experiences in the area. Only opportunity here is the price point. You are paying for that atmosphere and service and it's not outrageous by any means but some brunch dishes are better than others. I do highly recommend the Papas Bravas.

We went for Sunday brunch while in Jacksonville visiting family. There was about a 15 minute wait when we got there and then the place filled up quickly, so plan accordingly!The brunch menu is amazing. I wanted one of each. Between the three of us, we got the bread pudding French toast, potato pancakes with smoked salmon, and the huevos rancheros. All three were delicious, with huge portion sizes.The atmosphere was casual. It gets a bit noisy, but not overbearingly so. The host and wait staff were all very friendly and efficient. Our food also came relatively quickly despite how busy the place had gotten.Highly recommended! Just plan ahead on timing or check for reservations if going for brunch.

My recent visit to River and Post in Jacksonville, Florida, was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is both elegant and inviting, with stunning views that add to the overall charm. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making sure our evening was perfect.We started our meal with cocktails, and I must say, the mixologists at River and Post are top-notch. Each drink was crafted with precision and creativity, offering a delightful balance of flavors. It was the perfect way to begin our evening.For our appetizer, we chose the short rib, and it was absolutely divine. The meat was incredibly tender, practically melting in our mouths, and the accompanying sauce was rich and flavorful. It was a fantastic start to our meal and set high expectations for the rest of the evening.The scallop entrée did not disappoint. The scallops were perfectly seared, with a beautiful golden crust and a tender, succulent interior. The dish was expertly balanced with complementary flavors and textures, making each bite a delight. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into the preparation of this dish.To finish off our meal, we indulged in the honey pecan dessert. It was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful evening. The dessert was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The combination of honey and pecans was heavenly, providing a satisfying crunch and sweetness that left us wanting more.Overall, our experience at River and Post was outstanding. The combination of exquisite food, expertly crafted cocktails, and a warm, inviting atmosphere makes this restaurant a must-visit.

The rooftop view is beautiful in the day and at night!Great food when you have lunch or dinner on the first floor. The rooftop opens up later in the afternoon and there is a separate menu that has late night plates and drinks.

It's been a while since we last visited and we made sure to reserve a table ahead since we were told previously it is needed for weekend brunch. The inside dining area is beautiful and our table right next to a window had a nice view. Tablet menus were great and we were able to order quickly. Both our entrees were ready pretty quickly, which was not surprising since the restaurant seemed pretty empty for 1:30pm on a Saturday. My salmon salad was good and my husband's lunch was good as well, just nothing that wowed us. Service and ambiance was excellent.

We came here for brunch on our anniversary, mainly because the mimosas were $3 each. That being said, they don't really skimp on their entree prices. But why would they when the food is up to par? I ordered the eggs Benedict over a crispy potato cake. I was satisfied with that but then I tasted my husbands steak tostada and it was out of this world! Wow!! I won't be ordering anything else for brunch there in the future, so delicious! The drinks were great too

Beautiful restaurant with a wide range of menu options. We stopped in at the rooftop lounge for a drink before our reservations. Gorgeous views and great drinks.Our meal we delicious, we started with dynamite shrimp, it was a good size portion for 4 people.Our mains were, the chef special (halibut), crab cakes, salmon and the filet mignon.All were perfectly prepared and well portioned. I highly recommend!

Thank you so much to the Sabrina and all of the staff for lunch yesterday (Thursday)! This was my first lunch experience here & so happy to see this place is just great across the board! We had so much fun and wishing you all an amazing Christmas season!Fine dining without the stuffiness! The lobster salad and shrimp po boy! The Smokey old fashioned... 10s across the board!

I went to River and Post for a quick bite to eat with some friends. We all ordered different foods but I selected the calamari appetizer and it was pretty disappointing. It was extremely tough and under seasoned. Some friends did order cocktails and I specifically remember one raving about her lemon drop. I also had a bite of the fish dip that was being shared around the table and that was also really good! My only other complaint would be that another staff member had tossed a saucer down on the table, after I asked for an extra sauce, and just walked away without any warning or words. It was rude and unnecessary but I always extend grace because maybe he was just having a rough day. It just caught me all the way off guard; but the person who truly made the experience was the server and she definitely deserves her praises! I wish I could remember her name but she had glasses and brown hair and was so kind and helpful!

We celebrated a birthday with friends in the restaurant downstairs and had excellent service. The food was excellent. I'm not usually a huge fan of seafood but I decided to go for the Broiled Ocean platter and was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and well prepared everything was. Our various drinks were also made well with nice garnishing and presented nicely. This is my second visit to R&P and I can definitely say we will be back on repeat! The ambiance downstairs was nice and allowed for intimate conversation in the extra large booth between our group of 6 even though the restaurant was busy. We were still able to converse comfortably.
