Looking for somewhere new to eat around Jacksonville? Gabi from Yelp Jacksonville has three new spots getting attention right now, with everything from an elevated sushi experience to Mexican food and a new Italian restaurant in San Marco.
Kobu in San Marco is for the sushi lovers. The new restaurant offers a more refined omakase-style experience, where the meal is meant to be enjoyed at a slower pace. One Yelp Elite reviewer went as far as calling it the best sushi experience in Jacksonville, so this could definitely be one to save for your next date night or special occasion.
Fuego Social in Jacksonville Beach brings the Mexican food and cocktails. The menu includes volcanic stone molcajetes, slow-pulled enchiladas verdes and strawberry kiss margaritas. It’s colorful, lively and already earning some strong reviews, including one Yelper who said the restaurant “exceeded expectations.”
Then there’s Tavola in San Marco, a new Italian spot serving brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks. Everything is made from scratch, and the open kitchen lets you see some of the action happening behind the scenes. Reviewers are already calling out the authentic Italian flavors, making this another new spot worth checking out.
