Loved our experience , say a party of 10 at the kings table , music was perfect , enjoyed it but could still have a conversation! Staff were attentive, food was incredible ! The bisquits are to die for, and the sidewinder fries are a favorite! Loved the chicken and short rib, crab bisque yummy, along with the fig , goat cheese and prosciutto very tasty . Portions are also generous! Finished with the chocolate chip cookies ! Such a lovely evening highly recommend!

Three of our group were celebrating birthdays and it was a great place to do so! The ambience was surprisingly quiet and relaxed for a packed Saturday night. The food was on point, and the staff was very accommodating.

This has moved to the top of the list for "must see" restaurants in St. Augustine! It checks the box for all of the things that i look for ( and some unexpected surprises) in an outstanding restaurant.The owner has an art gallery nextdoor in the old historical Woolworth's building ! The decor is modern and clean with original artwork adorning the walls which also happens to be for sale. The icing on the cake, live music that isn't overpowering. Service was spectacular! It's the little things like bringing clean utensils and plates after the first course, not having to ask for anything because our server anticipated our needs. Last but not least, the food was very gourmet! We shared a few items starting with the best cesar salad in town; hands down! Yes, it has anchovies but they were mild, and mixed greens with homemade dressing that was spot on. The honey biscuits were fluffy crips on the edges. The truffle fries are unlike any you've experienced! They are thick spiral hunks of potato with the truffle sauce on the side that you could drink! And finally, the scallop and lemon risotto. We added a few grilled shrimp to it since we were sharing, all cooked perfectly. Chef's kiss! Super flavorful, fresh spring peas, micro greens as a garnish and the most decedent cheesy risotto! We will definitely be back!

Overall just OK.. very poor acoustics and the excessive bar noise makes it hard to enjoy a dinner. I recommend this location as a bar experience but definitely not a good dining room.

Great food and response to food allergies. Overall all, the conversational level of diners is very loud for the rainy day dinner we reserved. I enjoyed our meal which took a while to arrive. Salmon was cooked to right temperature. The live DJ was a welcomed treat to cap off a mini vacation.

Great steaks and service! Had a beach vibe rather than a traditional steak house feel, but makes sense for St.Augustine.
