Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Jacksonville

Food was great and excellent service. Multiple people checking on us throughout the night with a packed restaurant. Water glass was never empty and never waited too long for food. Server always had a smile on his face along with everyone else who came by. Most tender octopus I have ever had and the Lamb chops were delicious. Even my son wiped his shirt rib plate clean. Was celebrating my wife’s birthday and they even brought her a complimentary crème brûlée unexpectedly. Will definitely come back. Love finding new places that impress. My only knock is that it was a little noisy and hard to hear each other at a normal talking volume. But wouldn’t let that stop me from coming back.

The service was friendly and responsive. Our server, Josh, was particularly good. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and answered all our questions very patiently. The food was well prepared and delicious. The drinks were great.

My wife and I visited St Augustine to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We dined one evening at Raintree and it couldn't have been better. Excellent food/drink, timely/personable service, and a welcoming/intimate ambiance highlighted the evening. As a bonus, our server (Janna) was a wealth of local knowledge, and her willingness to share her insights/experiences helped us plan our activities for the following day. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in town.

Always a fun dining experience. Cool drinks menu. Clever. Too loud for easy conversation though, when it’s crowded. Seriously.

Our server Brian was so helpful and made recommendations that was on point. We had the ribeye,filet mignon, crabcake, brussel sprouts and creme brulee. The food serving was perfect. The restaurant ambiance was very nice.
