I went for dinner and drinks, it was great!(Table for 2, inside)The inside is cozy and with a sort of bohemian diner aesthetic. It was a Friday and the inside bar was poppin but not too crazy which was great for people watching. Live music started at 8pm ( I believe)Service was great, we were greeted upon entering and swiftly seated. It looked like a hand full of tables were reserved so I think we lucked out. Maybe call ahead to book a table on busy nights.We tried almost the whole cocktail menu and all the drinks were refreshing, interesting and styled beautifully.Both of us walked in thinking it would be an entree type of night but ended up ordering 3 of the starters and sharing.The food was SO GOOD!All 3 starters we tried are the type of thing that could taste awful if not fresh and Meowza! They were absolutely fabulous!!!The whipped butter with the bread service was so light and paired perfectly with the fluffy bread!!!The Hummus plate! Omg I will probably pop in there just to get the hummus plate! YUM!The Ahi Tuna Nachos were also fabulous but definitely the type of app you need to eat quickly so the wonton chips don't get soggy.Overall, great experience, delicious food, LOVED the cocktails. I will be back!

I want to start off by saying the service was great! Our waitress was super kind but the food lacked big time. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. I requested for my chicken to be fried instead of blackened and it was super chewy and tough. It also didn't taste seasoned. The salad dressing was also a bit off for me, as It tasted quite bland and not like your 'typical' Caesar dressing. (But they do have really good ranch so maybe it was just an off day.) My drink was really good - I can't remember the exact name but it had Mezcal in it and it was the perfect mix of smoky, yet sweet. I also ordered the blue cheese chips and they were just ok.

I've never really eaten at the local, but I saw a picture of fried oysters on top of a Caesar salad and it just felt right. I took myself on a little solo lunch date, but unfortunately that option was no longer available on the menu. But... I had to have something along the lines of it, so I became creative. I ordered a blackened chicken, Caesar salad, and a side of delicious Parmesan garlic oysters. I then placed them on top of the salad & mixed it all up! Oh my my my...let me tell you... chef, skip the shell throw in some garlic butter Parmesan oysters on top of that salad and make it a menu option. It was so perfectly paired with the true homemade Caesar dressing and the perfect crunch from fresh croutons. My version unfortunately was on the expensive side. I could even eat this without the chicken and just oysters on top. This made my whole solo lunch date experience! Vic's Parmesan oyster Caesar salad. Try it. You will not be disappointed! A fun local spot located in the heart of Atlantic beach with a relaxed ambience, full bar, and live music on the weekends! Enjoy!

The local has some pretty good options. I got the shrimp n grits and they are very different from the norm. I do prefer the traditional kind though. The cocktails are good (I had a Bloody Mary) but it's very loud when sitting inside even when they aren't at full capacity

Came here for happy hour on a weekday. We got $1 oysters, and 2 drinks. The drinks were good and the oysters came out quickly. I do want to come back and check out their regular menu, as a lot of people around had some yummy looking food. Plenty of seating indoors & outdoors here.

Randomly came in after seeing some reviews online. Turns out it was happy hour which the staff was great to mention and provide recommendations for. The atmosphere was very earthy/ bohemian- very calming. We sat outside and loved it. The service was very good and attentive. We loved our food- the hummus was amazing and we really enjoyed the spinach dip. The buffalo cauliflower was probably our least favorite (little bland/ no buffalo flavor). We will definitely be back to try the whole menu as it's very difficult to find good food in Jacksonville.

Always a great time at the local. It has become one of our favorite brunch spots. The service is always excellent and I haven't had a bad meal yet, they also have an awesome vegan/vegetarian menu. Live music on the patio and great happy hour specials
