 Cool ambience |
95 Cordova Street Casa Monica Hotel Jacksonville, FL 32084 United States +1 904 810 6810 |
Curry Chicken Salad and Semolina-crusted Calamari are the kind of fare that provides the exotic quotient at 95 Cordova. The interior comprises reddish-maroon walls and ornate furniture; the large windows and the golden draperies seem much too palatial, while the pastry section with its many-tiered cakes also exhibits ostentatious leanings. Private parties are organised with prior reservation, but be warned - a shindig here does not come cheap! Review © 2007, Wcities |
