BY LORI ALLEN, MY WANDERING FORK

​Located in Historic Springfield, The District is a newly opened Wine Bar & Beer Lounge with a modern Art Deco inspired space. Head outside to the Peacock Garden, which features our popular Boho Yurt Lounges & plenty of outdoor seating options.  Voted Jacksonville Magazine Top 50 Restaurants for our Charcuterie Board and Spinach & Artichoke Dip!

Looking for something unique or something out of the ordinary? Give a Boho Yurt a try!  The District located downtown in Springfield has come up with the unique concept of dining in a Yurt.  I gave it a try and had a blast! Because you make your reservation online the moment you arrive you are escorted to the back of this eclectic restaurant to your private tent.  As I peered inside I felt like I was transported to a scene in the Arabian Desert, from the brightly colored pillows, funny low chairs and perfectly set table you totally felt like you had stepped out of this world and into a new one. The food is top notch. I highly recommend the beef wellington or the filet and crab cake both were cooked to perfection.  The Tower as they named it is an interesting shaped tower filled with your choice of Sangria, Mimosas, or wine and of course there is plenty to share.  So step out of the box this season and wander downtown and give this place a try.
