Northeast Florida\u2019s next destination for elevated hospitality is taking shape in Ponte Vedra. True Story Brands, in partnership with Shark Tooth Dining, LLC, today announced plans to introduce the acclaimed Yebo Beach Haus and Lions Head Private Members Club at 301 North Roscoe Boulevard. Founded nearly 30 years ago by South African native and restaurateur Justin Anthony, True Story Brands has become a defining force in Atlanta\u2019s dining scene, known for concepts that blend culinary excellence, immersive design and the signature warmth of South African hospitality.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yebo Beach Haus, which debuted in Atlanta in 2012, has earned a loyal following for its sophistication, energy and quality. Its menu highlights New American cuisine, anchored by expertly prepared sushi, seafood and prime steaks, and elevated with globally inspired flavors reminiscent of Cape Town and South Africa\u2019s wine country. Signature dishes such as Red Butter Curry Halibut, Peri-Peri Chicken Frites and Spicy Tuna Roll showcase Yebo\u2019s distinct style \u2014\u00a0bold, approachable and memorable.

The beverage program reflects the brand\u2019s worldly perspective. Guests can expect award-winning cocktails, including longtime favorites like the Space Cowboy (a bold, bourbon-forward classic with spice and depth) and Tommy\u2019s Margarita (a bright, clean expression made with blue agave and fresh lime). The restaurant\u2019s wine list, informed by Anthony\u2019s decades of international travel, features rare allocations from South African vineyards, established Napa Valley producers and iconic French estates \u2014\u00a0available by the glass or bottle.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shark Tooth Dining, LLC acquired the waterfront property at 301 North Roscoe Boulevard in 2024. Cronk Duch Architecture along with Wolf Design Group will lead the design process, with construction expected to begin in early 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cYebo (yeah-b\u014d) is a South African English exclamation of affirmation \u2014\u00a0meaning \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018I agree\u2019 \u2014 and that spirit of joyful connection is exactly what we aim to create with Shark Tooth Dining,\u201d said Justin Anthony, Founder of True Story Brands. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring this storied property to life as a world-class dining and hospitality landmark for Ponte Vedra. Yebo Beach Haus will add something truly distinctive to the growing culinary scene in St. Johns County, inspired by flavors and wines collected over a lifetime of travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to Yebo Beach Haus, the partnership will introduce Lions Head Private Members Club, an exclusive dining club offering an elegant, discreet and intentionally curated experience \u2014 further extending True Story Brands\u2019 commitment to exceptional service and luxury hospitality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OPENING SOON: Yebo Beach Haus and Lions Head Private Members Club To Ponte Vedra by Charles Wagoner December…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9443,9441,116,9440,9439,9442,9434,9436,9444,118,117,9438,9437,9435],"class_list":{"0":"post-92822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-904-happy-hour","9":"tag-beach-bar-golf","10":"tag-jacksonville","11":"tag-jacksonville-bar-crawl","12":"tag-jacksonville-bar-events","13":"tag-jacksonville-beach-bars","14":"tag-jacksonville-events","15":"tag-jacksonville-happy-hour","16":"tag-jacksonville-happy-hours","17":"tag-jacksonville-headlines","18":"tag-jacksonville-news","19":"tag-jacksonville-night-life","20":"tag-jacksonville-nightlife","21":"tag-jax-events"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
