I came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was delicious! I honestly didn’t even know this place was opened yet, but I’m glad I saw that it was! It’s so cute and truly does give Mediterranean vibes.
First of all, our waitress/server Kim was a treasure!!!!! She is the sweetest thing and was so fun. She gave great recommendations and has the best personality. She honestly made our experience at Alder&Oak more fun.
The lunch menu I found online on their website did not match the menu I was given, so that was disappointing, but it’s okay. The A&O Mezze Board was delicious- may have been the best Tzaziki I’ve ever had. The hummus was also so good! For my main, I had the Chicken Souvlaki. I don’t know that I would get it again because it was kind of dry and too chewy, but the flavor over all was good.
The wine list was exceptional. I tried a red and a white- both were so incredibly smooth and delicious. I love how they custom picked these wines after tasting them on location (at least that’s what Kim told us!!).
I’d definitely come back again.

Highly enjoyable first outing – beverages and appetizers only for this journey, but I cannot wait to return. Shout out to our fabulous server, Savana!

Food and atmosphere were wonderful. Only thing that made it better was the service by Devin. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. We really appreciated his banter.

So, I tried this place on Valentines Day. The atmosphere and vibes were awesome. I have to come back at night so I can sit on the rooftop area. The food was great especially the lamb shank and the hummus. The drinks were not all that great but I would come back.

After much anticipation, I was finally able to sit down for dinner at Alder & Oak, and my final report is that I will in fact be back again and again. The design concept is absolutely unique, and adds a new and exciting restaurant style to the Riverside area that will only get better as the weather warms up. We sat at an inside table but will definitely be checking out the rooftop bar for pre and post-dinner drinks next visit.
For our first time, we stuck with the basics – pizza and pasta. And cocktails, of course. We started with the Wild Thyme and Dill-usional cocktails. Both of these were served in martini glasses (perfect to me). Of the two, the dill cocktail absolutely stole the show. Such a unique concept with dill and cucumber flavors, topped with black pepper, and not too overpowering. If you like funky flavors, you absolutely have to try this out.
Of course, a dill cocktail just has to be sipped with a pizza, so we ordered the Prosciutto Parma. The crust was actually amazing, and I’m so happy to report that this pizza is worth the try. We also split the Bucatini and Truffles pasta. Again, another major hit for us. The combination of truffle and wild mushrooms (and yes, it’s important they’re wild) was amazing in this dish. Another perfect pairing with a cocktail.
While we did not get around to any appetizers this visit, our table neighbors ordered the Lamb Kofta which will 100% be on my order next time. It looked absolutely amazing. We also saw the Lobster Tagliatelle come out, and if you’re looking for a “phone eats first” dish, this is the one!
We also tried the Galatopia (milk pie).
I’d love to keep Alder & Oak a secret, but it’s truly deserving of your visit. I definitely plan on eating my way through the entire menu, so if you’ve been, I’d love to hear you recommendations below.

Very cool spot! Great ambience. The food and cocktails were delicious. We went for lunch and ordered the Beets Salad, Roasted Cauliflower, Mediterranean Chicken Pita, and Chicken Thighs. All very good. Jacksonville needs more places like this. I’d definitely recommend!

Everything here was phenomenal. From our server Savana, to the fast service and amazing breeze off the river. This is definitely the spot you want to try. I enjoyed the lamb kabob, beet salad, and for dessert; I tried both the milk pie and the pistachio baklava. I used the complimentary valet parking that was a breeze.

We had an INCREDIBLE evening at Alder and Oak! The food is out of this world, Michele (our server) was fantastic and the atmosphere and decor was so fitting. You MUST try the eggplant hummus, to die for! To complete an incredible evening, Southern Grounds is attached to the restaurant and I was able to order a coffee and have it brought directly to the table to enjoy with our dessert. We are already planning our return! What an amazing addition to Jacksonville!

Alder & Oak is one of those places that instantly makes you want to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the moment. Tucked into Brooklyn at 400 Riverside Ave, this modern, Aegean-inspired, wood-fired restaurant blends Mediterranean flavors with warmth, craft, and genuine hospitality—and it absolutely delivers.
From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming and relaxed. There’s a beautiful balance here: humble ingredients, thoughtfully elevated, all centered around the hearth and the magic of wood fire. The rooftop adds another layer to the experience—perfect for evening cocktails, conversation, and soaking in the neighborhood views.
The food is fantastic across the board. The wood-fired pizzas are Italian-style, freshly made, and full of flavor with perfectly blistered crusts. Seafood dishes are prepared fresh and treated with care, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. Every plate feels intentional and seasonal, rooted in Mediterranean and Aegean traditions without feeling heavy or overworked.
Drinks deserve their own applause. Alder & Oak boasts an extensive and well-curated collection of wines and spirits, making it easy to find the perfect pairing whether you’re here for dinner or just drinks at Zorba’s Bar. And for coffee lovers, having Southern Grounds Coffee right inside the space is a major bonus—great coffee in a setting that invites you to linger.
What truly ties it all together is the staff. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there, they elevate the experience without being intrusive.
Alder & Oak is part of The HUB, a unique concept bringing together multiple dining experiences, a courtyard gathering space, and a rooftop lounge—all under one roof. It really does feel like there’s something for everyone here, making it a standout addition to Jacksonville’s growing Brooklyn neighborhood.
This is a place built around flavor, fellowship, and fire—and it shows. Whether you’re stopping by for dinner, drinks, coffee, or a rooftop evening, Alder & Oak is absolutely worth the visit.
