The Little Stove — Restaurant in Jacksonville

The Little Stove where do I start. We visited this place two days ago. My background is in culinary arts, I have worked in hotels/restaurants for many years. Let me paint the picture for you guys. It was me and three of my good friends we are all visually impaired first of all. As soon as we entered into the restaurant there was no greeting whatsoever, no assistance, no one even asked if We wanted anything to drink. We literally sat at our table for 7 to 10 minutes we were waiting on someone to approach us, waiting on someone to say something to us but nothing was ever said. From there we just left, when we first walk into the restaurant it felt cold very uncomfortable it was almost like walking into a diner in the 50s.

“Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Jacksonville anymore.” I get this feeling every time I walk through those doors. Austin, Dallas, New York, Chicago? Nope, Jacksonville IL. While it could easily be right at home in any of those major cities, Liz and Andrew chose to bring this slice of culinary heaven to us here in Jacksonville, and for that, I am most grateful! The food is inspired and delectable and driven by Andrew's vast and impressive culinary history. The cocktails are far and above the most inventive you will see on any menu in Jacksonville. Trevor has a real passion for his craft and it shows. Everything here is hand crafted with love, and for that you may wait an extra few minutes, but it is so worth the wait. Give it a try, I guarantee you will not be...
