Join author Dorothy K. Fletcher as she recalls the history of the
city's lost restaurants and reflects on a more gracious time in
Jacksonville living.
The city of Jacksonville has long enjoyed a wondrous array of
restaurants with fine cuisine and unique atmospheres. Some of the
greatest of those now exist only in memory. Le Chateau, with its elegant
patio and seascapes, was a beacon of fine dining. The Rainbow Room at
the George Washington Hotel offered a crowded dance floor with its
dinner experience. The Green Derby was the hub of passion for fans of
Florida and Georgia during one of the fiercest rivalries in college
football.
