Cuisine 76 & Bar

Cool spot in Jax! Owner and staff are wonderful, hardworking and very friendly! They were incredibly busy that night as well as understaffed, down a server and *the* bartender!, but we had a marvelous time none the less. The owner, May, did her absolute best behind the bar and looked up every recipe, threw gloves over her perfectly manicured nails and dove in head first with every order! That's what a real restaurant owner looks like, folks. I wish I'd been available to stretch my old barkeep muscle but I was too exhausted from the drive and hospital visit earlier that day. Didn't matter though, everyone got their drinks in time and I heard no complaints. Also while you're there check out the outdoor hookah bar out back!! We didn't have time that day but it's definitely something we'll do next time we're in town! The food was excellent as well, I will definitely be back next time we make it to Jacksonville!!

Nice looking place. Fairly decent service too. The food was hit and miss. The hummus was, a miss. Very thin, under flavored and the bread wasn't flavorful enough to save the party. The vol au vent was spot on. I would have liked to have it served with some side that had acidity, to help cut the rich creaminess. Creamy bite after creamy bite after creamy bite can become overwhelming after time. But the dish itself is very good! Usually you don't see French food offered at a Mediterranean establishment, even though something France does border the Mediterranean. This dish was by far the most successful that we ordered. The mixed grill was not very good either. The chicken was especially dry. The Muhammara didn't seem to be very flavorful, flat until the spice hit. In this defense, we only had a small taste to see if we liked it. We didn't so we didn't try a larger quantity. Maybe had we given it more chances we would have come around to liking it. The rice served was on point. Cooked pe

Hands down one of the absolute BEST meals I've had at any restaurant in Florida...not just Jacksonville. Excellent service as well. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. The owner even stopped by our table to check on us. Great atmosphere, too. This would be a great place for date night. We had the mezza sampler (I'm now addicted to the Muhammara), the Mediterranean mixed grill, and the New Zealand Lamb. Everything was delicious, and huge portions! I'll be back often!
