Rique Kitchen And Wine - Jacksonville

I had reservations and had asked to dine on the terrace. I was with a dear friend I hadn't seen. He was on the crew of The Who, who appeared in Jacksonville the next night. As I said in the hostess, are you Mr. Price? I said yes and she said you were on the terrace. It was delicious and I felt appreciated.

I decided to try Barrique Kitchen on a Friday night with two friends. Originally, I thought I booked a reservation, but the restaurant couldn't find my reservation in the system. It still wasn't a problem to seat us though which was nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice with soft lighting. I think this would definitely be an ideal date night place. Overall, the experience was good. I think I enjoyed my drinks more than my food, but it could have just been my taste buds that were off. The most memorable thing in my meal had to be the calamari and Mediterranean Moscow Mule which was very tasty. The calamari was fried tempura style which was very unique to me but very good. I'm not sure what the twist of the name was for the Mediterranean Moscow Mule but the taste was what a normal Moscow Mule is slightly sweet and spicy with the ginger beer. I would probably come back again for cocktails.

It was a slow time for them business wise while we were there but the food was great and the fact that it was Tuesday 2 for $20 small plates made it even better.

I went here for lunch and I think it's a nice little spot. The interior was clean and we'll organized. Our waitress was nice, she explained the menu and was knowledgeable of the wines and dishes (unfortunately I cannot remember her name). We had the charred Octopus, wine flight (which was half off) and the goat cheese ravioli, all were delicious. I would definitely go back for more.

Went for the cheese board, the cheese available was great but the variety and quantity wasn't the best. Good truffle fries and drinks as well
