    Scott and Gabby at Rue are the ultimate tandem for food and drink pairings. I have been there several times and it seems that, each time things get better and tastier. This most recent time, I took my partner in which, she has never had a 'fine dining' experience... she was completely BLOWN AWAY by not only the food but the ambiance, and service. Mark us down for the 7th of each month, as we will be regulars for the foreseeable future!

    The tasting menu is out of this world!!! It was the best date I've ever been on thanks to the wonderful staff, chefs, ambiance, and most importantly the FOOD! Holy smokes 15/10 would recommend. What an experience!!!! Loved the wine pairing with every course. So super cool

    The current "Rue experience" is a must try. Excellent 5 course degustation (tasting menu). Ahead of the pack in Jacksonville right now (May 2023).

    I recently tried the tasting menu with my husband. Overall the food was fine and our waitress was great, however the portions were incredibly small and it took about 2.5 hours to get through the meal. I do understand it’s a tasting menu, however for the price I would have thought I’d be full after my 5 course meal. Ended up getting Taco Bell on the way home after having just spent $200 on dinner…

    Exceptional dining experience. I did the “Rue Experience,” a 5-course meal with wine pairings. The pasta appetizer, the grilled scallops, the Halibut and the venison were impeccable. The service was attentive and knowledgeable without any pretense, and the atmosphere was intimate and personalized.

    What a fabulous experience, if we lived closer we would be regulars! This was one of the best dining experiences we've had in years. Miriam, Victor and Jordan were true gems and made the entire experience. 20/10 experience and this place absolutely deserves a Michelin star. Service and food was seamless. Could not give enough praises!!

    What an amazing experience! My husband and I did the 3 courses experience and we LOVED everything we tried. We will definitely come back soon. Great place for special occasions.

    First time eating here, wife wanted something nicer for dinner. Had a reservation so there was no wait, ordered the Rue Experience with the wine pairing, everything was fresh and delicious. Staff was super attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was excellent and overall experience that would definitely have us come back for more!

    WOW! Upscale restaurant with a very intimate vibe. If you’re in for a culinary adventure I highly recommend the tasting menu, a 5-course chef curated experience. The best part is that each time you go back it will be a whole new experience since the menu changes nightly! They also have an extensive drink menu with just about anything you can think of!

    We celebrated our anniversary here, and it was truly exceptional. We had a card, complimentary wine, and our dessert even had a candle. Such nice, personable touches throughout. We did the “Rue Experience,” a 5-course meal. Every single thing we had was dynamic in flavor. I would certainly do this experience again. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, the team there really works together and never missed a beat. It's an intimate setting, with low lighting.

    My favorite neighborhood restaurant! Rue never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Your experience starts as soon as you hit the door. Chef always brings new experiences daily. I highly recommend the Rue experience with wine pairing. This week we ordered from the menu and it was absolutely delicious. We started with a Mayport shrimp and the seared octopus for appetizers. For our main we went with the duck confit and the New York strip. Both prepared and plated perfectly splendid. For dessert we had the honey cake. Lord it was fantastic. If you haven’t dined at Rue Saint Marc what are you waiting for?

    We made reservations for a Friday night, just a regular date night. They have a course prix fixe menu on Fri & Sat. It is all about the experience this restaurant, and if you like to be surprised with different types of food to taste you should make reservations here. It can be a little pricey and small bites but again, it’s all about the experience and you will not be disappointed. Service was great, they have parking available and the restaurant was nice.

    It was an experience. We did the Rue Experience and it was a nervous affair. Sitting down for a meal without knowing what to expect was scary. We let our waitress know that the Mrs was allergic to ginger and didn't do Anything spicy. And I don't do seafood. With that we started our experience and it was absolutely delicious. Only one of the 5 dishes I didn't care for, but outside of that everything was a winner and the Mrs enjoyed her meal. If in the area you should definitely try it.

    Let me start by stating it has been the best dining experience of the past 2 years in Jacksonville, where interesting chefs and food are scarce. That said, while everything was nicely executed and plated, there was not a dish (we had the tasting menu) that I will remember as something exceptional: flavors are a bit muted, as if the Chef was making sure not to offend anyone’s taste. We had the wine pairing and it certainly is interesting (have you ever tried the Areni grape from Armenia? Barbera rose from Slovenia?) and complemented the dishes, but none of the wines were outstanding on their own. I did not get to try (but will!) the cocktails which appeared to be very interesting with a liquor selection rarely seen. While not creating an unpleasant experience, the waiting staff could be more present and spend less time flirting with one another or chitchatting, but the floor manager (who did not visit our table) appeared to participate in that overall attitude. All in all, my favorite in Jacksonville even there’s room for improvement at that price level.

    My 1st experience was very nice. They didn't give me any push back when asking to be seated although my group hadnt arrived yet. I hate when a restaurant does that so the fact is was a non issue was a plus. The halibut dish I tried was amazing. When i got that perfect forkful with the fish and veggies all together...just wow. Although I love dessert nothing stood out on the dessert menu for me. That was the only real negative I had about the place. I will definitely go back once the next season's menu is out.

    I have lived in Jacksonville for over 30 years and have eaten at all of the restaurants considered to be the "best of the best", but by far, Rue Saint Marc is clearly the most elevated, creative, and delectable culinary experience I have ever had. The tasting menu displayed a variety of food and flavors like no other. The caliber of not just the food, but the host, servers, chefs, and restaurant itself was on par with the finest I've had, from NYC to Rome. This is truly a French gem right here in Jax. You won't be disappointed.

  • 3/5 Information Security I. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow, what an experience! I was unable to take pictures because the place was romantically dark. However, the place was too crowded because there were as many customers as there were servers. The restaurant is one of those "you only live once" places to explore. Go for it you will like it. Get ready to spend about $250 for two. The male bathroom toilet water pressure is set too low, so don't use the bathroom unless you want to embarrass yourself.

    My husband reserved a table for the two of us at Rue St. Marc for my birthday. What a gift. We were greeted with the staff kindly opening the door for us, seated 20 minutes before our scheduled time, and no less than 4 servers attended us and told me happy birthday multiple times. Joshua our head waiter was amazing. So attentive. Our drinks never emptied, course after courses provided with precise timing. My husband’s cocktail with pecan bourbon was so good. Very smooth. The food was beyond Outstanding! Each course better than the next. Plentiful, fresh, and creative. We cannot say enough about this experience. Without a doubt the very best in Jacksonville! Thank you Rue St. Marc for a wonderful birthday meal and experience. This will be a must return restaurant for us.

    Amazing experience with a tasting menu curated by the chef. I’ll share pictures but the dishes were pretty innovative and I don’t want to misreport all the ingredients. I recommend you choose a special occasion as an excuse to go!

  • 5/5 Melissa D. 4 months ago on Google
    The tasting menu is an amazing experience. Loved everything we had and the drinks were great too.

  • 5/5 Samuel H. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful tasting menu experience for my wife’s birthday. Service was impeccable, food was fantastic and thoughtful. Would highly recommend this meal to anyone looking for a great evening out.

  • 5/5 Vincent A. 10 months ago on Google
    I had the tasting menu here and it did not disappoint. Everything was well crafted and delicious. The cocktails and wine list are impressive. It's refreshing to see a place like this in Jacksonville, and I was pleasantly surprised. The layout of the restaurant puts the kitchen in full view which adds to the experience. A great place for a date or business dinner.

  • 5/5 Chelsea R. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. Loved the whole experience. Beautifully crafted drinks, great choice in food pairing, beautiful, quiet, atmosphere. Wonderful wait staff. Will be back for more.

  • 5/5 Christina R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely spectacular time at Rue Saint Marc. Booked a quick mother daughter‘s Galentine’s dinner… And they did not disappoint! Johnny our waiter was absolutely outstanding. Had us laughing the whole evening! The quirky cocktails, chic ambience, and of course impeccable food. I would be happy to book this again knowing the experience would be different but equally amazing.

  • 5/5 J M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place with great service and great food. We had reservations and were seating real quick. Both my wife and I had the sampler meal and I can’t recommend it enough it was absolutely wonderful. We also added the cheese plate, again a nice touch. I really enjoyed the details as the waiter explained what each course was.

    There aren’t many other places that we enjoy more than going to Rue for a special evening. Chef Scott and his staff executed a perfect tasting menu for their New Year’s Eve celebration. Gabby, Robbie, and the rest of the wait staff gave impeccable service. Already looking forward to next time.

  • 5/5 Charli S. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for our anniversary and had so much fun. We tried a lot of unique cocktails that were some of the best in Jax- you could tell a lot of thought was put into creating their cocktail menu! The food was just as tasty as the drinks. Awesome date spot!

  • 5/5 Kelly S. 2 years ago on Google
    Truly one of the best dining experiences my husband and I have ever had. We haven't stopped gushing over it. Awesome ambiance, the staff was out of this world, food was delicious. We are already trying to plan our next visit back. Standing ovation, thank you Rue!

  • 5/5 Akzahara C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for NYE and did the 5 course tasting menu with the wine pairings. First the wine pairing was superb! My husband had an old rue fashion and he said it was spectacular. The food was delicious and perfect portions. My absolute favorite was the striped bass, scallop and tuna tartare. It was very low key, not loud, not crowded and everything I wanted. Romantic and phenomenal service.

  • 4/5 Nikole Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely experience here. The cocktail selection is vast and there’s something for everyone. The striped bass was phenomenal. I also very much enjoyed the patè.
