The Heart of the Home

A table made for connection — for laughter, stories, and the moments that matter most.

When you walk through the front door, the warmth of The 1923 greets you instantly — a soft glow spilling from the kitchen, the scent of something sweet in the oven, and the sound of conversation from the dining table. The house feels alive, as if it’s been waiting for your family’s story to unfold within its walls.

In the bright, open kitchen, mornings begin with coffee and quiet chatter. By evening, it becomes the center of celebration — music playing softly, a table full of shared dishes, and stories that stretch long after dinner ends.

And if you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else, Live Oak has you covered. Dine under the lights at The 406 on Duval, start your day with Southern comfort food at Dixie Grill, or grab pastries and coffee from .50 Cal Coffee & Desserts. Every meal feels easy, familiar, and part of the experience just the way holidays should be.
