Restaurants near Old St Augustine Village

We had a fantastic time at forgotten tonic. In my notes, I mentioned that we were here to celebrate our honeymoon. We were treated to not only champagne, but free dessert. Our food was absolutely amazing! 10/10.

Five stars are simply not enough! We are absolutely thrilled to have discovered this gem of a restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and care that make this place truly special. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The staff? Phenomenal. Every single person we encountered was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made us feel like honored guests, and their service was impeccable without ever feeling rushed. Now, the food—wow. Each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly executed with fresh, high-quality ingredients and flavors that had us savoring every bite. Whether it was a classic dish or something unique to their menu, everything was prepared with so much love and care. It’s rare to find a restaurant that excels in every category, but this one does. We’re beyond happy to have them in the area and are already planning our next visit. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have such a standout spot to enjoy. Bravo to the entire team!

Somehow this place slipped by us over the years -we will definitely be returning now that know if it . Would have been nice if they had children’s options on the menu or even just half portions. The portion sizes were very large! My salmon was a bit over seasoned, but the pork chop and filet were delicious. A few more wines by the glass would have been nice, but we settled on a great bottle. Service attentive. Ambiance cozy. Not a very large place so it might be a challenge for larger groups.

The Cordova staff were so nice! I can't say enough nice things about them! Our waiter even purchased me a dessert for my anniversary that I was celebrating! Such an unexpected, nice gesture! The food was absolutely amazing! Melt in your mouth delicious! Lovely atmosphere with low lightening on the beautiful decor including the gorgeous Christmas trees. Soft live piano music topped off the atmosphere. Only confusion was the valet only parking at Casa Monica hotel where Cordova is located. The valet parking is past the Starbucks underneath the hotel. When you turn in it looks like you will drive into a staircase but the valet attendants are there. Highly recommend!!!

Food was good and servers were really nice but it was clear they were understaffed. They continued to be mice while being visibly frustrated after running out of eggs. The place has nice ambiance and food concept is cool. Hopefully they are able to get more servers and eggs.
