13 Gypsies - Sharpes

Fantastic date night! Each plate was delicious and cooked to perfection! The mushrooms are honored to be cooked in these dishes! 5 stars!!

Try to come and eat here every other month or so, It is phenomenal. One of my favorites in Jacksonville. Love the small tapas style plates, reasonably priced and able to try so many different plates/flavors.

We 've dined here countless times over at least 7 years, many for special occasions referred this place to everyone we knew. We 've spent over $400 since December 30th and it was the only place our child wanted to dine. As a former bartender, server, manager and local restaurant owner, I was dumbfounded at our treatment. To support the accuracy of this review, read YELP post by another customer about same server on 1/31/24. WED EVE, 4/24/24, after years of begging friends to make a 100 mile round trip, several friends booked using OpenTable, 1 table for 6pm,1 for 6:30. Some needed to arrive/leave various times for work parental obligations(which needn 't be explained,I do so for insight). We had the 6:30 reservation, so we promptly arrived 6:15. Noting our friends with the 6pm booking looked displeased, we were saddened that An , who 's the BEST FOH mgr in Jax, WASN 'T working. The person instead was dismissive, rude annoyed-specifically with us-from the moment we entered the establishment. We waited for this person to greet us, which never happened (not a big deal as it was nearly full). Our friends informed us the only empty table next to theirs was ours, so we sat ourselves.That table of friends explained to us they were told 3 rules: 1)they had 1.5 hours to complete their meal, 2) it 's against the rules to push our tables together, 3) I myself had broken the 3rd rule by not calling to confirm my reservation. Being ignored/not served for at least 10 mins being spoken of in a derogatory manner was unnerving and obviously deliberate, since we only had 1.5 hours to eat. We were uncertain whether we 'd be served at all, having broken rules . Having proof of confirmation text 7:10pm 4/23, I walked away from the dining area to the corner to address the false info inferred to other table. When I showed the server our confirmation, I was accused of purposefully avoiding their confirmation phone call. My reply was I didn 't even know of the call, and as I don 't work there I don 't know the rules . The disgruntled server began a tirade as elaborate as a Hollywood script. Then the server shouted bizarre theories, started to become emotional when I defended myself, then complained to the back of house when I asked who was the owner or mgr. One critical tirade about my prior bookings was shouted to the entire restaurant, which could 've been falsified considering they did as much thru Opentable by reporting we were no shows. So a gaggle of loud and rude middle aged women accused of abusing the system were escorted out by a cook for attempting to meet, greet and eat. The vitriol and contempt displayed towards all 7 of us by staff was unsubstantiated, scary disturbing. We were yelled at, jeered by several presumptuous people, ridiculed ejected-all within 25 minutes. It should also be noted we 've had 7 people at tables pushed together in the past.

Never was able to eat there because the lady who was working front of the house was so rude to us and then said we only have 1.5 hours to eat because other people (regulars) were coming. We had 2 confirmed reservations but she denied that so we left and had a great experience somewhere else.

I can’t rate the food because we never ate and if overall, I could give zero stars I would; Tiffany the hostess was beyond rude to myself and my friends. We had reserved two tables, one a three top and one a four top because OpenTable would not accept reservations for parties of four or more. When we got there, Tiffany informed us we only had an hour and a half to eat, which would’ve been fine but the way she addressed it was absolutely unacceptable. We had barely sat down when she told us that we could not talk loudly so as to not bother other patrons. I have never been to a restaurant where there were so many rules! Then she accused one of my friends of skirting the system for making two reservations and yelled at her for not answering her phone earlier in the day when she called to confirm the reservation. We were continued to get berated by Tiffany when finally the owner came out and made us leave! Trust me, I was not going to spend a dime in that establishment but I have never in my life been treated this way anywhere, especially for no reason. Save your money and don’t go!!
