6 Impressive Restaurants Opening Downtown

[dp8541]

I went to Sabrga & Co. for dinner this week.  Loved it.  The interior looks great, and the food was top notch.  We sat at the chefs counter and watched them prepare the meals while we ate, meticulous to say the least.

Price point appears high per the menu, but the majority of the plates are meant for sharing (so don't be scared away by the $25+ main courses, as they are meant to share between at least two people). 

Once Hobnob and the pizza joint open by Unity Plaza that, along with Burger Fi and Burrito Gallery by Fresh Market, will be a nice dinning destination which should attract people from all over the area.

I get the concern, but restaurants are a destination. All the people in Southside, Arlington, and, I suspect, most of downtown drive now to eat, so I can easily see them driving downtown if the food is good.

But...but...but...parking!  Sometimes downtown you have to park a whole TWO BLOCKS away from your destination! How can anyone be expected to endure such hardship???

Hmmm.  Haven't seen anyone complain about that in this thread??

Please.  Almost any discussion of bringing suburbanites to the core generates cries of how hard it is to park downtown.  It may not have shown up on this short thread, but I guarantee you'll find it most anywhere you look where downtown businesses are discussed.

It's so asinine. Compared to many major cities that I've visited and other cities (major and minor) that I've lived in, Jacksonville has pretty good parking.
