We have dined her at least several times per year over the two decades + that we have lived here. I have always really wanted to LOVE it for a variety of reasons including the fact that I thoroughly enjoy French cuisine, wine and all things French! Regrettably, the consistency in the quality of the food and the level of service waxes and wanes The food is good; not great! The wine list and off-sale of wine is among the best in the area (by far)- which is the main reason I shall return.

Great service and the wine selection is second to none. The food was lackluster though. For what we spent, food needs to be much better. While the menu sounded great, execution was not there.

we found the trout tasteless even with a nice sauce. The beef bourguignon was very salty and any spices were drowned out. There was lipstick on the coffee cup and the waiter too causal in speech. Each got a slightly different version the day's specials. The manager at one point came up behind me and reached across my plate to remove a dish, nearly striking me in the face and startling me for sure. We've had better meals there. Once the majority of the tables were occupied it became very noisy. We'll try Medure, Le Petit Paris, or Dwight's next time.

As always had excellent meal at JJ‘s was a little disappointed the fish special was significantly higher cost than their menu items and it wasn’t brought to our attention at time of order however it was exceptional. The lamb chop starter was cooked perfectly and very tasty. Service was very good for what seemed like a busy Wednesday evening.

An outstanding French bistro in Ponte Vedra. The only issue is last reservation is 7 pm during the week & 7:30 on weekends, too early for French or Latin American customers. An extensive wine list & many dining options including a variety of specials depending on the season. We are regulars & plan to continue to be.

Service was random, servers 3 to be exact. No one owned the table creating the feeling of just get you out the door. Quiche a signature dish was not fresh as well as the fruit. Fries on the Hanger steak dish were limp, soggy and greasy. If you are going to be a 5 star restaurant with 5 star cuisine, detail is crucial. I enjoyed your SanMarco location in the past that's what brought me to Ponte Vedra. Disappointed on a special occasion.

We we’re running late and called the rest auto let them know we were behind. When we arrived the owner was quite rude and said we had 5 minutes to order our dinner. Considering that we spent $233 for dinner he should be grateful to people that help his restaurant turn a profit. To tho the had the audacity to say we didn’t show. I’m happy to send in our receipt!

Food was great! Excellent French Bistro. My wife and I look forward to our next visit. The Duck was perfect (crispy skin) and the Cassoulet was one of the best we have had. I ordered the lamb and it was literally falling off the bone, flavor was perfect. We asked for a wine pairing and we were happy with the bottle offered. Like I said we can’t wait to go back.
