    Amazing dining experience! Food was incredible from start to finish. Onion Tartin and French onion soup were excellent to start off with. The Steak Au Poivre and the Wagyu NY Strip were cooked perfectly to temperature and delicious. We finished the night with the Lavender Crème Brûlée which was creamy and decadent. Amelia was an incredibly attentive and informative server which helped perfect the whole dining experience. Definitely a place not to be missed during your visit to St. Augustine!

    This restaurant is beautiful. We understand they recently redecorated and it looks like a Moroccan scene with arched entryways and middle eastern style. A piano player fills the place with all types of music which is one reason you know you’re not in Algiers. The other is the fantastic menu items which were strongly American. We had a prime filet that was very tender and tasty and a two inch thick grouper that matched. The waitress had been there for four years and was able to cover her stations with easy. Always available and cheerful. This was a special occasion (birthday) and we were served a complimentary dessert. Wow! What a spectacular event for us!
