Restaurants near Alexander Brest Planetarium

One of the best dining experiences you’ll have in Jacksonville! Food, service, ambience - all second to none! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and overall Cowford Chophouse experience!

We came for a free theater dinner. Our servers were very attentive to our time restrictions. We've selected off of the early bird menu, and everyone was very pleased with their meals. The only negative was main course delay in kitchen resulted. I don't remember, Tommy. That's rushing to leave by seven

My Salmon lunch entre' was perfectly cooked, a generous portion and absolutely delicious! My guest ordered the Nola Muffaletta Pita lunch sandwich and said it was delicious! very generous portion with delicious fries. Super efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Overall, a good experience, though not great. Onion soup was a little disappointing (unusual flavoring), but my wife’s Chopped House Salad was terrific. We both ordered the “Chef Selection” filet mignon and lobster tail. Those dishes were OK, but a modest fail because both small steaks (one cooked medium, the other medium well) were extremely dry. No juices. No nothing. Unless, I guess, you pay extra for an “enhancement.” A real money grab, there. We ended up dipping pieces into the lobsters’ drawn butter. The loaded baked potato was huge and quite good. Service was attentive, cheerful and excellent. But with a $300 bill for two people and juice-less steaks…we probably won’t be back.

Extraordinary by any measure. Our go-to restaurant for a special dining experience. Lots of choices in Jacksonville but Ruth's Chris never disappoints. Long-time fan of the chain locations in San Diego and Scottsdale but this one rises to the top by far. Two managers strolling about making sure everything is perfect (it was) and manager Skylar's brief visits were appropriate and never intrusive. Of course we'll return.
