Crafting Every Dish with Passion and Precision
Chef Blackford’s approach to cooking is rooted in tradition, technique, and a dedication to fresh ingredients. Every dish tells a story, reflecting his skill and creativity.
A Taste of Tradition
Argyle is our tribute to the roots and traditions of golf, this iconic pattern has transcended time. It was originally worn as a statement of independence by rebellious Scotsmen that refused to adhere to common rules provoking change. We are setting out to break the rules of fine dining, as we will deliver elevated food in a swanky and welcoming atmosphere. We want to embrace the beauty of The Yards and tradition of golf with a modern dining experience.
Creating New Memories For You and Your Family
At the helm is Chef Jonathan Blackford, originally from Pittsburgh, PA. He studied at the Culinary Institute of America and has worked all over the country. Most recently in CA, he was the Executive Chef/Investor at A Restaurant, CDM, and Owner of Fork & Knife. Chef Jon and his wife Kristi moved from Southern CA to Jacksonville Beach, FL. Their dream is to elevate the dining experience through ingredient driven food and drinks, with a cool vibe to chicly let your hair down.
From Vision to Reality
The moment we stepped into the space, we knew it needed a transformation. We gave the kitchen and dining area a complete refresh, creating an atmosphere that feels upscale yet inviting. By August, we were serving lunch, fine-tuning every detail to ensure each dish and cocktail reflected the high standards we set. A few weeks later, we expanded to dinner service, marking the true beginning of Argyle’s journey.
A Menu That Speaks for Itself
At Argyle, every dish tells a story. Our menu is inspired by my years in the industry and my commitment to using the best local ingredients. From the rich, buttery scallops to a perfectly cooked ribeye, we focus on bold flavors and expert techniques. Our handcrafted espresso martini is the perfect way to end the night—or start it.
