    Our new favorite spot in St. Augustine. We had no idea it would be a holiday pop up when we booked and it was so fun! Not only were there plenty of amazing selections for us but our kids had plenty of choices too. I would eat that shrimp and grits every day.

    The food was delicious and excellent customer service. The dip with the fried artichokes was good on anything and the artichokes had a very light coating on them. Best grilled fish sandwich I have had on fresh Cuban bread - nice and thin so it didn't overwhelm the tastiness of the fish. Nice decorations for the Holidays. Overall good experience.

    Thank you, Tony! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and enjoyed the fried artichokes (that dip really is good on everything!) and the grilled fish sandwich on fresh Cuban bread. Hearing it’s the best you’ve had is an incredible compliment! We’re glad the holiday decorations added to the festive atmosphere. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more delicious bites and excellent hospitality!

    The menu was filled with fun and delicious holiday cocktails. My wife and I enjoyed two specialty cocktails and both were delicious. Don’t forget the delicious food. We stopped in for a late lunch and chose a few appetizers for our meal. We shared the charcuterie board and the baked Brie, bother was amazing. The atmosphere was fun and festive for the Chrismas season. The decor was beautiful and very well done.
    Forgotten TonicResponded 6 days ago
    Thanks so much, John! We're thrilled you and your wife enjoyed your visit, especially the holiday cocktails—they’re always a favorite this time of year. The charcuterie board and baked Brie are perfect picks for sharing, so it’s great to hear they impressed. We love creating a festive atmosphere for the Christmas season, and it’s wonderful to know the decor added to your experience. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more delicious bites and drinks soon!
