Dine with Us Downtown

Dine with Us Downtown is a monthly initiative founded summer 2011 by Jaguars senior vice president of operations and CFO Bill Prescott with his wife Kim, in partnership with Downtown Vision, Inc.

In Prescott's personal campaign to bring more diners Downtown, his inspiration came from an article in the Wall Street Journal about Robert De Niro inviting his friends and business associates to dine at restaurants in TriBeCa, and how that simple action helped revive the neighborhood restaurants as they recovered from 9/11.

The purpose of Dine with Us Downtown is to showcase Downtown as a true Jacksonville dining destination. Downtown is home to more than 30 fine-dining and casual establishments. This monthly event brings diners from across the Jacksonville area to dine Downtown at a predetermined restaurant on the Northbank or Southbank. Dine with Us Downtown is open to the public, and reservations are recommended.

the first Dine with Us Downtown destination Aug. 4, 2011.
