The Residents and visitors of Jacksonville can prepare themselves for a new flavor in town. Captain Sandy Yawn and partner Chad Quist have decided on a name and finalized plans for their new restaurant located at 618 West Adams Street.
A Partnership with Professionals and City Leaders
Working with renowned architect Brooke Robins on the 3-story renovation of Historic Fire Station #4, originally opened in 1914, she has precisely captured Captain Sandy’s vision. Floorplans and renderings for the new design are pictured below and on her social media.
Sharing the big news
The restaurant will be named ‘Maritime 618’ and will boast a nautical theme, for obvious reasons. It will feature exclusive yacht style cuisine and presentations of intercontinental seafood and cultural fares.
This unique approach offers a diversified dining experience, prepared by internationally known guest chefs, fusing delicious flavorings with innovative techniques and flair. The restaurant will also offer an expanded teaching kitchen designed by noted restaurateur Beverly Grant, and will be utilized to certify qualified culinary students interested in entering the maritime industry.
