Jacksonville was recently named the fifth most romantic city in the country, and apparently we have the restaurants to back it up! If you’re planning a date night, Matthews Restaurant in San Marco is a longtime favorite for an elegant dinner and wine pairing, while 14 Prime on Gate Parkway brings the classic steakhouse experience with an upscale atmosphere that makes dinner feel a little more special.
If your ideal date night is a little more relaxed, Doro in Neptune Beach combines elevated food with a casual feel — plus, you’re close enough to the beach for an after-dinner walk. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a first date, or just looking for an excuse to go somewhere nice, Jacksonville has plenty of options for turning dinner into a full date night.
