VJs Florida Grill & Barbecue - (Near Monticello, FL)

Megan Pervenecki Hug in a mug was excellent! He even accommodated me when I asked for half milk/half oatmilk! Knowledgeable about coffee, he was telling us about how an iced Carmel macchiato should not be stirred. Great conversation and warm/friendly service. Having organic coffee is a nice touch.

Judy Lynch Very happy we tried this place. My husband had the eggplant and I had the large Grandma’s sub. Both were delicious. The bread was phenomenal. I took half home and it was even better later after it all melded together. Very friendly owners! We brought home their frozen everything bagels, they are pretty amazing too!! We look forward to trying the Small Plate dinners they are now offering on Friday and Saturday nights. Hidden gem!

Lee and Amy Goldberg We went to Sizemore’s right before the Air Show and were amazingly able to be seated right away on the patio! It’s a beautiful restaurant! The food was really good and the drinks (which I forgot to take a picture of since I was too excited) are awesome!! My husband got the Bloody Mary and I got the Coastal Breeze. We loved them both! We definitely recommend this restaurant! Sit on the patio if there’s a nice breeze.

Summer Marlin Lane We went for lunch. Google maps said that they open at 11 but they do not open until 11:30. We arrived at 11:25 and the door was locked but they let us in. The atmosphere is very beachy and chill. Lots of creative decor. Love that the menu is on the healthier side. The food was delicious. The service was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Dan Boback I’m not sure what else can be said that hasn’t already, but in our experience, dinner at Daniel’s on 1/6/26 was absolute perfection, and may have been the best dinner I’ve ever enjoyed in my life. Just a terrific choice of appetizers and we selected the burrata with fresh tomatoes. Absolutely stellar and off the charts delicious. Wish I had taken a photo because the presentation was equally perfect as the dish itself. The main selections were difficult to make. But we ultimately chose the Wagyu filet and the regular 8oz filet. Both were superb, and the Wagyu was perhaps the most delicious cut of steak I’ve ever had, and yes, I’ve been to Sizzler. We enjoyed the truffle mashed potatoes as our side, and then topped it all off with the skillet cookie that was simply unreal. Felipe, our server (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly) did a fantastic job and was full of information on everything on the menu. He respectfully suggested I change my original selection to the Wagyu and I’m incredibly happy he did. We love visiting upper end steakhouses across the country and Daniel’s is currently at the top of that list. We will return to Fort Lauderdale just to have dinner here again. Kudos to ownership, management and a great kitchen staff on such a fine establishment.

Matt M I have always been a big fan of the French Pantry at its Power’s Avenue location in Jacksonville. The vibe was always cool, where you are dining with people you don’t know and even seeing the occasional celebrity on a visit. The St Augustine version is very very different, more like a traditional restaurant, so without the first location’s quirks. First, I need to tell you that this is a very different location, it features: - full bar - dinner hours (open till 8:00 PM) - a private dining room - cooking classes - dinner menu - a beautiful and large dining room. Second, the things you found great at the original location: - fabulous desserts - bang bang shrimp - bruschetta in all shapes and sizes - all your favorites But you want to read about the food, not my comparison of the two locations: Beer - good selection of beer and wine, we tried the Intuition Beer that is so popular in this area. It did lot disappoint. Truffle Fries - thinly sliced, served with a delicious homemade aoli. French Onion Soup - traditional presentation, but a slightly sweeter finish. I did not love it, but the cheese and bread were delicious. Bang Bang Shrimp Po Boy - delicious presentation, perfectly cooked shrimp, really delicious. Chicken Pesto Pannini - this was very dry, and I really think I was missing the pesto, so I used the aoli I mentioned earlier. Presentation and the dryness just did not impress me. Oatmeal Cookie - I love a good oatmeal cookie, and this was good. Wedding Cake - another delicious choice. I have to say I favor the original location, mostly because I hate change. But the fact that they serve alcohol, are open for dinner and have cooking classes, this is French Pantry 2.0x
