Menu for Congaree and Penn in Jacksonville, FL

One of my favorites places to go when I feel like I need to get out of town. Congaree + Penn has an incredible dining experience... and the farm and scenery are beautiful! Always worth a visit. Make sure you walk around before or after your meal. They hadguided flower picking over the summer and it was incredible. Can’t wait for the wildflower fields to start blooming :’) Read more

Great date with my hubby. We walked the farm with our adult beverages (beer and cider) before dinner. It was peaceful and... beautiful. The ciders were delicious! (they have several they make to choose from) Dinner was incredible! We had the hummusplate and cornbread for appetizers. My husband had shrimp and grits for dinner and I had the Black Eyed Pea Tempe. Highlyrecommend! It was an awesome experience. ?? Read more

Our party of ten had an awesome visit despite the rain! The outdoor, covered atmosphere was quite calming. Our food was amazing,... the server was okay. We were too stuffed for dessert but the items available sounded delicious! The sunset cruise was lots offun! We were able to stop along the way and take pictures. I suggest you bring bug spray although they weren't that bad. Iwould recommend Congaree & Penn for a fun evening out! Read more

Ambiance was incredible. The view, the stroll through the farm and decent drinks were all very pleasant. Food was good, not... great. It presented well, but the charcuterie board was underwhelming for the price, except the crispy bread. Lamb was a bittough. I know it’s a difficult meat to cook and it’s not uncommon for this to be slightly over cooked. When a chef gets itright, chefs kiss*. Gnocchi was okay too. Expensive for what it was. But!!! Dipping these in the sauce from the lamb, wasabsolutely exquisitely divine. This combo had me dying, it was so good. Overall, worth the visit. And the menu changesseasonally, so better options coming up perhaps. Read more

Don't be misled into thinking this is just an outdoor restaurant... Get there early and take the time to enjoy the outdoor... farm/park land! Had I known before, I might have picked up some wine and picnicked there before our reservation. The $5 chargefor access to the farm/park grounds is worth it only if you have some time to spare, especially seeing that there are chairs andtables to relax at. The flight of local ciders was delicious and the food was a sophisticated change from the usual. I don'tknow that the menu is ideal for young kids, so keep that in mind, since it's not what I'd call a low cost dinner. Read more
