Amazing time ….must try this place great food and an amazing time

My wife and I had reservations at 7:15, we were greeted at the door front desk. Acknowledge us said there was a little bit of a wait so I decided that I would go get a couple of drinks at the bar and I was told it was at capacity I explained to them that I was not going to sit at the bar. I was just grabbing two drinks and coming back so I went to the bar and the bartender had a beard looks at me and says we’re at full capacity. I explained to the gentleman the same scenario rolled his eyes and walked off. My wife approached me in a young lady Walked up behind her and said that we’re at full capacity at the bar so this is three people telling me this. It was two other gentleman standing about 5 foot away that we’re frustrated also. Another bartender came around the corner and took my order. Very nice young man. To be honest with you. I was my first experience there. I don’t know if I would go back. The food was fantastic. Our server John was absolutely amazing. I just did not feel comfortable to be honest with you.

I had a great experience overall. I would definitely go back with friends. The drinks, service and ambience were immaculate. I just felt like the food definitely needed more seasoning, but it was still good. 

This is one of our go-to, date-night, local eateries. I think it is one of the best scratch-made Italian in Jacksonville, and while it's not cheap, you'll find it is on par for price with the big chain Italian eateries. Get a reservation, as they can get busy even on weeknights. It's hard to find a good Italian place in Florida, and this is one of the better ones we've discovered.

Do not use open table for your reservation at Ted Lobster, they Do Not use Open Table for reservations. The waitress did get us seated immediately and everything went well.
