Rue Saint Marc

This restaurant was small but really cute — a nice surprise during our night in Jacksonville. We decided to try the tasting menu with wine pairings, and the first few courses were excellent — great textures, beautiful presentation, and unique flavors that kept us excited for what was next. However, the last two dishes fell a bit flat, and the dessert was so tart we couldn’t finish it. That’s what knocked off a star for me. Overall, though, I’d definitely come back and recommend giving this place a try — even if you skip the tasting menu.

Can’t say enough about our experience here. The vibe in this space is wonderful. It was extremely easy to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy ourselves. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the second they open the doors for us. Our servers knew the menu backwards and forwards and had helpful suggestions as far as beverage pairings, and answered our questions about each menu item in detail. The food itself is amazing. Everything on the menu is considered, intentional, and seasonal. We enjoyed everything but a big plus to the Pommes Paillasson, Venison Striploin, Wild Boar Country Pâté, and the Wild Striped Bass. Highly recommend this place. I will be a repeat visitor for sure.

“Rue” means “street” in French, and this is one you’ll want to travel again and again - because the destination is pure culinary delight. Rue Saint Marc is, without question, one of Jacksonville’s best restaurants. It’s a gastronomic feat for Chef Scott Alters, who puts every ounce of his heart and soul on the plate as he guides you through a magnificent journey for the eyes, olfactory, and tastebuds - the kind you’ll talk about for years to come. Rue is warm, inviting, and unassuming. The staff is friendly and passionate, bringing an unequivocal breadth of knowledge to the food and wine that will make your head spin. The bar is well-stocked, but I would recommend one of their many speciality cocktails (they have an impressive menu). I had a spicy margarita to kick things off, and it did
