Escape Ant And Bar - Jacksonville

They opened at 11 and our reservation was for 11 and they did not open on time! We ended up eating some where else.

The lamb and vegetables were good at first, but started to make me queasy about halfway through due to all the oil. There was literally a puddle of oil on the plate that everything was swimming in.

I'm waving. when we (2) came in on a Sunday at 6 the place was empty. the ambient lighting and brick is cool. we sat at the bar, there was no bartender. the lady who works said she was not available in this night. we asked for wein. we had to show the lady who we wanted...and also open the cork for them because they didn't know how. we saw ourselves as other tables ordered dishes and the bartender asked us to help shake and pour the dishes as they read recipes of google. I ordered the French roasted chicken with puffbäck. it was boiled chicken with pilsbury rolls, we sat like other customers came to the bar with the same settlement over their drinks and foods. we would have got a better culinary experience with wendy's 5 points.

The roasted chicken vol-au-vents reminded me of a fancy chicken-n-dumplings. Sauce was very hearty. Yum! Spinach khatchapuri was larger than I thought! Would be great as an appetizer to split between several people. A hair salty for me, but my fiancé LOVED it. My favorite was the Veggie Lumpia appetizer. It didn?t make it for a picture. Live band tonight, so be aware that it?s not particularly quiet. The 3-piece jazz band was fabulous though. Beautiful. Full bar with several TVs, giving it a fancy sports bar vibe. Very reasonably priced, we spent $45 for two people. Changing table in the ladies room, but not in the other two unisex restrooms.

Came into the restaurant is quaint, it was empty besides two other people. There is a inside dining and an outside dining. Our waitress seemed a bit new because every time I ask a question she would say she would have to go check. I ordered a Long Island iced tea top shelf it was just OK for me. Food arrives??? dry, dry, Sahara desert dry, you need water to swallow dry! I ordered the shrimp and chicken and the chicken was so dry I could barely get it down my throat my husband ordered the lamb the lamb was so dry! you needed water to get it down your throat I would not, would not, recommend this restaurant at all!! Our waitress wasn?t attentive AT ALL!!!! The owner of the restaurant came over and asked how things were when she saw us looking around ready to check out I advised her that the food was very dry she apologized and walked off. For the prices that they charge here the food should be way better I would not again would not recommend this restaurant?but on a better note the drinks were strong ???? oh for some reason NO ONE is at the host podium so when people come in and see the sign wait to be seated they are left hanging. The owner came back out before we were leaving and gave us a discount on our food advised us that she did talk to the cook and apologized profusely so I think that I will probably give this restaurant another chance but right now my review is what it is but I let the owner know that I appreciate what she did as far as the Discount and then coming back out to let us know that she did talk to the cook.
