    Taverna is a wonderful spot for brunch. The food was amazing. My daughters and I had a fabulous time. I had the omelette and my girls had the hash and lemon ricotta pancakes. Everything was so tasty and beautifully presented. Definitely a must for brunch.

    Came here in January for my birthday and the server completely forgot to ring in our orders and remembered after we were sitting there for an hour. Nothing was compensated for the mistake. Thought I would try it out again for a special occasion that occurred Wednesday evening and the server was flat out rude and made us feel like a burden. This used to be my favorite place but sadly, things have changed. Hopefully they get a better staff soon.

    We have eaten at Taverna multiple times and it’s one of our favorite restaurants in Jax! Service and food is always top notch! Some favorites are the fungi pizza, ravioli and of course the orecchiette (make sure you add goat cheese!!!).

    The food is delicious. Really tasty and great quality. The service is excellent also. Currently they have a smaller menu with less items but the quality has been maintained. During this time when it could be dangerous and scary to venture out for dinner, I felt safe. All employees are wearing masks and mostly have gloves on. The tables have been distanced. The outdoor patio offers that outdoor experience that also adds an element of safety. We had a great evening and enjoyed every dish.
