Dwight's Bistro

Delightful surprise upon entering, with warm ambiance and attentive staff. Tried New York strip and loved it, though also sampled filet mignon. Others enjoyed sea bass, crab cakes, and veal. Sides of pistachio ravioli, green beans, and carrots were seasoned perfectly. Generous portion sizes. Dessert disappointment with thin crème brûlée. Overall, a meal worth revisiting, especially enjoyed the apple pie and tiramisu, paired with a delightful brut rosé. 🤤✨🙌perfect for a date night .

A must try, and try again! Very good food! My Sea Bass had a crusty/crunchy skin and flaky white inside. Also had the crab cakes, excellent! I eat a lot of chicken, but seafood is my preferred choice. This chef has it done to a science. Well done Dwight!

Always awesome. Delicious escargot followed by big ole scallops with bacon, shallots and cooked perfectly. Ricotta/pistachio stuffed ravioli (side) prompted us to order some uncooked ravioli and sauce for take home. Not a fan, but my lady assured me the asparagus side was really good. Great experience, good service, excellent food and value!

Excellent service, complimentary wine, beautiful atmosphere.

I didn't try all the food, but of the menu I had:
The quail, which was absolutely delicious!
Wonderful escargot, which came fresh and hot.
Crab cake, very flavorful without being overpowering.
A complementary ravioli, a little on the sweet side, not my thing personally, though beautifully presented.
A slice of key lime cheesecake, that was incredibly creamy.

The waitress (Tova!) was very quick to help us, and answer all questions.

This restaurant also features a mosaic wall, and numerous art pieces. The music playing is tasteful, and not too loud. Truly a spectacle on all fronts, good job!

One of my favorite places to dine in Jacksonville! 🥂 The meal started with fresh baked crusty bread & escargot. The 2nd course was a crisp chopped salad with blue cheese & bacon. Then I devoured the bone in pork chop as my 3rd course. It was one of the best I’ve ever had! Bravo chef. We also enjoyed the scallops casino, veal piccata, & angel hair with scallops. Everything was perfectly prepared & incredibly delicious. Chef finished the meal with a key lime pie 🥂 and even came outside to say goodbye as we left. Bravo chef! Thank you for an incredible dining experience yet again.

I can't say enough about this place and the people who work here. I found Dwight's by accident after getting donuts next door and I am so happy I did. Dwight is amazing and the food equally amazing. He takes the time to talk to you and really get to know you. He puts his heart and soul into his food and it shows. I have literally tried everything on the menu and it is all fantastic. Don't shy away at the price, I promise it's worth it. They always have a good bottle of wine that is reasonably priced, too.

Great old music from 40s era. Great atmosphere with wonderful mosaic tile work. The filet mignon was heavenly!! The carrots and asparagus tasted super fresh. Server on point! I was too full for dessert, they had some not on menu that sounded delicious though.

One of our “go to” places. Had a great dinner with our son and his girlfriend! The pork chop is my personal favorite!

wow loved the scallops, great staff & service, fun place. Dwight is great guy. Put this place on your list of find restaurants.

Food was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long long time. We had crab cakes for an appetizer. I highly recommend them. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and a creaminess inside. I had the ravioli for dinner and my date had the carbonara. Both were amazing but I have to say the ravioli was the real hero.

The crab cakes are the best I have ever had. All of the food is prepared to perfection. It's a small little gem and the owner is always there cooking. Super friendly staff. I come to Jacksonville just to eat here.

Dinner was delightful! Romantic atmosphere, attentive staff, cozy setting. We had their escargot, crab cakes, and we split a filet ( there is a $12 split fee for extra veggies and ravioli). The escargot tasty in garlic butter. The crab cakes scrumptious loaded with crab. The tender,juicy filet cooked to perfection with a balsamic glaze. Served with unique, fresh veggies: Asparagus, roasted corn and glazed carrots.

This is a regular spot for us. The crab cakes are the best I have tasted in the U.S., no kidding. The filet is one of the best cuts you will ever taste!

Dwights is great! Service was excellent, atmosphere was classic and the food was delicious! Hand made pasta is best. The lamb, crab cakes and the duck... oh the tender crispy duck!! We're definitely going back. No matter the menu, the chef will make or combine anything they have just the way you ask. True dining over just eating out.

Our dining experience at Dwight's Bistro, owned and curated by the talented Dwight and managed by Kevin, was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece.

As the evening unfolded, it became apparent that the culinary wonders prepared by the chef and the impeccable service from our server, Gary, would make this a dining experience we'd never forget.

We started our gastronomic journey with the exquisite crab cakes. These delectable morsels were a harmonious blend of succulent crab meat and delicate spices, expertly seared to perfection.

Each ravioli pocket was generously filled with a luscious blend of ingredients that tantalized our taste buds with every bite. The chef's exquisite sauce elevated the dish to new heights of indulgence, making it a standout dish of the evening.

The tuna, a delightful surprise on our culinary journey, was a true revelation of the kitchen's versatility. Cooked to absolute perfection and seasoned with finesse, the tuna showcased the chef's ability to handle a diverse range of flavors with equal expertise.

The handmade pasta fettuccine Alfredo with filet and mushroom was an experience to cherish. The pasta was flawlessly cooked, and the Alfredo sauce was a divine amalgamation of creaminess and savory goodness. The addition of tender filet and earthy mushrooms elevated the classic dish to a whole new level of culinary excellence.

For dessert, we savored the apple crisp, and it was the perfect conclusion to an exceptional meal. The crisp crumble topping, paired with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples, was a symphony of sweet and tangy notes that left us with smiles of contentment.

Throughout the evening, the warm hospitality from Dwight and Kevin Delude made us feel like treasured guests in their bistro. Their genuine passion for food and dedication to delivering an outstanding dining experience were evident in every aspect of our visit.
