Guidebook for Jacksonville
Food Scene
Only open for lunch Mon-Friday from about 11-2 ish. Get there early because there is usually a line outside. It looks kind of like a warehouse outside. Seating is family style. The baked goods are out of this world fresh and amazing. Desserts are so good!! I always order some type of Bruschetta and my favorite dessert is the Blueberry Farmers Tart. They bring fresh bread with olive oil to the table. You will need a nap after this meal!

Everything Else
The BEST spa experience!! Make reservations as soon as you can. It gets booked quickly. Make an appointment for a manicure or a massage and spend the entire day at the spa enjoying the amenities. You can wear your white robe around the spa inside or outside by the mineral pool. Order lunch by the pool or inside. There is a steam room, hot tub, meditation room and conversation area to read magazines and chat with friends. Great for couple (separate spa areas but the pool area is co-ed), good for a day of pampering. You won't be disappointed. Bring swimsuit. By the way, the drive to the spa is absolutely beautiful. You will see the most gorgeous oceanfront homes & manicured lawns.
