Restaurants near Avondale Shopping Center

We made a request for a window booth which was honored. The waiter,Wendy, was extremely attentive without being intrusive. We were able to enjoy an evening with service that matched our desired tempo. Food, drinks, service and ambiance all combined to make the experience exceptional!

It was the most wonderful night, great food , great conversation ,great service!

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!!

My wife and I arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and were immediately seated. The wait staff was very attentive to helping us settle in for our anniversary dinner! Our waiter was very pleasant and answered all of our questions regarding our dining plans. We selected the six course dining adventure and added an order of escargot that was perfectly inserted as “course 2B” of our delicious dining experience! The remainder of our meal was a wide bar of chef’s choices that were all very tasty and, at the end of our meal, quite filling! Since we had mentioned that this was indeed a special celebration for us each member of the staff took the time to wish us a happy anniversary as they reliably attended to our being guided through our dining adventure. At the end of our meal, we were surprised by a special desert prepared noting our special day along with an autographed copy of our personalized menu signed by everyone who had assisted us throughout our two and one-half hour leisurely meal! All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our most recent time at Mathew’s Restaurant and will certainly be making plans to return again!

This is my wife and I’s favorite date night spot. The food is always delicious, service wonderful, and drinks made right. If I had to list any complaints, I wish there would be more of a rotating menu and the sitting back by the kitchen area is a little cramped for my big butt (6’2”, 240). To end on a positive, the staff is all simply delightful. From the host the moment you walk in, to everyone you interact with. Nobody seems to have a “not my table, not my problem” attitude. Our server was great, but not a single member of the staff just walked right by if it looked like I was running low or needed something.
