Vino and Van Gogh
Dwelvin Simmons and Alisia Martin introduced The Wine & Food Society of Jacksonville to a new dining experience with an over-the-top dinner at what would seem a very unlikely restaurant. M Brothers at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville. M Brothers is the latest restaurant by arguably the best chefs in the area, Matthew and David Medure. The restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience within the main building. It's easy to forget you are in a hospital when you enter the restaurant and are transported to a fine dining experience in a beautiful setting. Members were encouraged to get in touch with their artistic side and dress like the art/artist or engage their creative side.
