Dwight's never disappoints. Had a scallop special that came w/asparagus (delish) and honey carrots (awesome). Scallops were quite large with a topping including bacon...perfectly cooked, but a bit on the salty side. Also had a pistachio/cheese ravioli, which led to ordering some of those babies to take home! A fantastic night of fine dining.

It was our first time to Dwight's, which was recommended to me by several people. The food was amazing and the decor was interesting, including the art in the bathrooms. It was not to my taste coming from Chicago but I can embrace the artistic side of Dwight and his family.

Dwight’s is a true treasure among Jacksonville restaurants. Located in a small strip center on Penman Road. All meals are prepared on the stove behind the bar, creating a great ambiance. Try to get a seat at the bar in order to interact with Dwight and the staff. Food is outstanding. Fabulous crab cakes. My favorite entree is the Sea Bass. Somewhat expensive but worth every penny

This was our first of many meals at Dwights. We shared crab cakes, chopped salad and sea bass/filet entree. Everything was incredible and perfectly prepared. I love that this is a local family owned and operated restaurant…. Pasta made daily by Dwight himself! The interior is charming and the service was perfect! The vibe is cozy romantic and casual. We LOVED it! Looking forward to our next dinner at Dwights!

We had the best date night at Dwights. It was cozy and romantic. Our server Sean was excellent; he never rushed us, was so accomodating (combined 3 entrees when we couldn't decide between 2), had perfect timing between courses, and was happy to share about the restaurant with us when we asked newbie questions. The atmosphere was lively and fun, but not too loud or overpowering. The food was unbelievably good. The best meal overall I can think of in Jax. Highly recommend.

I had not been to this restaurant for several years since the pandemic. I was a little disappointed to see that the quail and the mixed grill containing quail had been removed from their menu. However, the items we chose were fantastic. We shared the evening's special appetizer of sea scallops. They were cooked perfectly and delicious. I ordered a combination of lamb chops and the crab cakes and thoroughly enjoyed both. The hearts of palm salad was as good as I remembered not to mention the great bread and dipping oil. Between the appetizer, salad and entree, there was no room for the delicious sounding desserts but I will try those in the future. A lot of food and definitely needed a doggie bag. The seasonal veggies of roasted fresh asparagus and carrots enhanced the meal. And the ravioli of the day (pistachio) was superb! But the best part of the experience was our server. We were lucky to have Sean (Shawn?) take care of us. He was accommodating, helpful and attentive without hovering. The perfect server. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will definitely return.

We chose to sit at the bar because it was a cool inviting atmosphere. The bartender was phenomenal and enjoyed his craft. We ate breakfast, and it was one of the best meals on our trip. We will definitely make this a routine every time we come back to New York.
