A bite at b.b's

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to find awesome new restaurants. So, when business conveniently brought me to Jacksonville last week, my boyfriend and I decided to make the most of my extra time and go exploring downtown.

Aside from working at the WJCT studio on the outskirts near the stadium, I had never been to Downtown Jacksonville so I didn't know what to expect. As adventurous as we are, Sean & I still made 8pm reservations for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse just incase our search ended badly- I'm hypoglycemic, so our adventures have to have certain precautions...I'm not very pleasant when I'm hungry! After driving around downtown for a few minutes we soon realized it was no downtown Orlando. We saw a place called Jacksonville Landing right on the riverfront so we decided to walk around there and see what we found. Awesome location, awfully dated. It had a boardwalk vibe and was probably an awesome place 20 years ago, now not so much. So we picked a restaurant on the upper floor and sat outside right on the water, after glancing at the menu we realized that this place was not what we were looking for and we weren't ready to settle just yet! So we paid for Sean's coke and headed back to the car, pretty hungry at this point! We weren't ready to give up just yet so we jumped over the bridge to check out the "other side" of downtown inching our way closer to Ruth's Chris. We were just about ready to head over to our reservation when we passed this really cool looking building seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
