There were four members in our party. We went on a weekday evening with reservations for 7. This was my first visit but others in our party have eaten here often. We were seated promptly and service was excellent. They have an extensive (not to mention over-priced) wine list. Apparently, well-heeled customers actually buy their wine here by the case!! I was driving so didn’t imbibe but still our drink bill was higher than the food bill!! The food dishes were beautifully presented. Everyone loved what they ordered. My only criticism is the noise level. Restauranters are like sheep – so many have installed hard reflective services and removed soft furnishings. Their theory is that a noisy restaurant implies success. Given the high prices, I expected a more refined, quiet clientele. So many people seemed to be talking loudly to be heard over other people also talking loudly. Certainly, doesn’t happen in Paris and being European I find it annoying.

After leaving our home in Paris 26 years ago, we have found just a small handful of restaurants that truly capture the essence of the French dining experience.
We love Jj’s Liberty Bistro for their friendly and attentive service (Grace and Joyce), authentic atmosphere, extensive wine list (with a fantastic Sommelier Matt at the helm), Chef Oscar’s creative delicacies, the grandest dessert showcase in Jacksonville, and of course, there to welcome you in, JJ himself.
Thanks to JJ for attempting to shake the rust off of my French – I will continue to practice as we plan to return time and again. A perfect date night in a cosy, warm and classic Ponte Vedra establishment – bravo et salut!! — at Jj’s Liberty Bistro.

Love JJ’s. Recently I asked to be educated on cavier, and JJ gave me and my guest a 4 course tasting with wine paring. Excellent! Amazing experience

Spectacular lunch, amazing service, customized meal when I made a particular request. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. The food really is on point, and the wine pairing when I asked for one was a solid match.

This place is absolutely amazing! JJ is very knowledgeable on wine; desserts were delicious. Our server, Grace, was nothing short of amazing herself..)). Do yourself a favor and come get some great food with a very warm and welcoming staff.

We dined at JJ’s Bistro on December 31, 2026, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing.
My fiancé and I were never informed of the price of the entrée we ordered prior to ordering. Our server verbally listed and recommended the nightly specials, but did not disclose the price of the special we selected. The menu presented to us showed similar entrées priced around $48, so there was no indication that the recommended special was significantly higher.
Only when the bill arrived did we discover that our entrées had been charged at $75 each. When we questioned this, staff claimed a dinner special applied for the entire evening, despite no disclosure anywhere prior to or during service. That lack of transparency is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, a mandatory 20% gratuity was applied even though our party consisted of only two people, and this was also not disclosed in advance.
The food itself did not justify the pricing. Our steak was not cooked to order, and overall the meal was underwhelming, especially for what ended up being a very expensive dinner.
Between the undisclosed pricing, forced gratuity, and mediocre food quality, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. Transparency and communication were completely lacking, and we would not return based on this visit.
JJ himself was extremely rude, unwelcoming, and dismissive when we said hello and entered the restaurant. Despite presenting the restaurant as a high-end French dining experience, the quality and service did not come close to matching that image. Having dined at Michelin-star restaurants around the world, I found both the food and overall experience to be mediocre at best. A quick look at how management responds to negative reviews online shows a consistent lack of accountability or responsibility toward customers, which speaks volumes about how issues are handled here.
Edit now that the owner has responded:
As you can clearly see, this restaurant takes no accountability for their mistakes. He didn’t even have the decency to apologize for my food not being cooked to order and my experience, not being pleasant. That alone shows a complete lack of a customer service mindset and basic respect.
My fiancé and I both ordered our steak to be medium rare. My steak came completely cooked through, no pink at all. His steak came completely cooked through halfway and then pink on one side. Neither of them were properly cooked and truthfully, the food really wasn’t that great.
Do yourself a favor and do not dine in here

We had an excellent dinner tonight at JJ’s Liberty Bistro. The entrees ( sea scallops and crab crusted sea bass special) were delicious. The house wine bordeaux was spot on and the desserts (coconut cake and blackberry tart) were a perfect ending to a special meal. The service was excellent as well.
JJ’s Liberty Bistro is a gem in Ponte Vedra Beach and highly recommended.

Huge wine selection to indulge in house or buy a bottle to go.
As you enter, the display case of desserts gets your mouth watering.
Very friendly staff got us seated and orders right to our table. Also kept our drinks fresh and filled.
The salad sandwiches are packed full of fresh ingredients and bright red tomato slices.
The menu includes chef specials for the day. Today included Korean Spare Ribs. Included French fries and a big portion of broccolini. It was ok.
Small thin slices that I could chew. Not great, but nothing unusual.
Then I got the bill. $32 for those Korean slices.
Still kicking myself for not asking the price.

Ordered Escargots, it comes with brie, pate, grapes and crostini. The escargots’s creamy sauce was really good but too salty for me, escargots itself were soft and well done. Also got onion soup, Boston cream pie and a chocolate eclair. The soup was okay, over salted and the cheese tasted kind of like a rubber. The bread with butter was soft and delicious! As per desserts everything was really good! The chocolate eclair is gigantic!
