“We had a fantastic meal! The beet poke was fresh and had great flavor and the 3 ramen dishes we ordered were all out of this world good! I had a sake cocktail that was refreshing and well balanced and my hubby had a nice sweet potato beer. Definitely worth the hour drive for us!”
“Our experience at the Ice Plant Restaurant was nothing short of amazing! The food was absolutely outstanding—hands down the best meal we’ve had on our trip. The fish was perfectly cooked and easily the best I’ve ever had. While their crafted cocktails were, as expected, top-notch, it was the food that truly wowed us. Every bite was packed with flavor and expertly prepared. A huge thank you to Kendall for her outstanding customer service—she made our dining experience even more enjoyable with her friendly and attentive care. If you’re in St. Augustine, this spot is a must-visit for an unforgettable meal!”
“Such a lovely location with the best lobster roll ever ! Their entire menu is filled with delicious choices of different meals . Great seating and wonderful service. Saw a great island band there and they have live music Friday SaturdaySunday check their lineup !”
“If I could give 10 stars , I would! Food is incredibly good and creative with excellent products. Yes , you will wait a little bit but that is precisely a very good sign that everything is fresh and details oriented. The patio is charming, the service is incredible, you just have to go there to enjoy the best food in town. We are french and we will definitely come back to taste everything. Thank you for the great experience!”
“We had Tallarines Verdes with hanger steak and Mar Y Tierra. Both were amazing and a good portion size. For dessert we had Sacred Valley. It was so delicious that we contemplated ordering a second for the car ride home. If we are back in St. Augustine, we will be coming back to Llama.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Met some friends for lunch and we had a wonderful time! the food was great, very fresh and quick, also two of the rolls on my friend's platter wasn't prepared as they had asked, so the waiter was very accommodating and quickly went to have them made over! Ambiance was very nice the place is super clean and we will definitely be back for more! Also they actually had the lunch menu available on a Sunday!!!”
“We had the most amazing dinner at Poppy’s! Rehearsal dinner for our nephew. Served 15 of us and everybody had wonderfully delicious portions!! YUM 😋 The service was fast and very polite!!”
“Disclaimer: I’m a native Texan, traveling on vacation.
This place offered an elevated dining experience. It wasn’t your typical local food joint. We only had appetizers and drinks, but that was enough to know it was exactly what our foodie hearts were craving.
We tried two craft cocktails—the Double Vision and the Lavender Haze. Whoever came up with the idea of mixing carrot, ginger, whiskey, and fennel was pure genius. It was such an exciting drink, perfectly made—we could’ve easily had a few more. The lavender drink was equally refreshing and intoxicating.
Small menu - which we love. We like when restaurants perfect everything, instead of a large menu where everything is mediocre.
We enjoyed the fish and sausage egg roll.
I’m a Minorcan chowder girl, and I could’ve easily swum in a bathtub of that tasty conch soup. It was that good.
The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, setting the perfect vibe for an intimate experience. Everything about the vibe was just right.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The beef Wellington was spectacular and the crispy duckling was outstanding. One of the best meals we’ve ever had from start to finish.”
“Was a little bit of a wait to get seated but well worth it! Bobby took great care of us and made sure everything was perfect. The food was presented perfectly and tasted as great as it looked. Will definitely visit again!”
“Great service and an amazing difference from the prior occupant in this location. We really enjoyed the attentive and pleasant nature of the service staff. The food was well prepared and entertaining. The sushi was good as well as the hibachi meals. I agree with many of the other positive reviews and I am happy that I have this restaurant a try after ownership and name change. It is definitely well worth it and I will recommend to my neighbors and friends.
Parking: Plenty of parking in front as lot is not used much at night.”
Outdoor Dining
“This is our go to every time we visit St. Augustine. We fully intend to try every menu item. The portions are awesome and so is the selection. The staff, even when busy, make sure you feel at home. We travel when we can from Tampa and Meehans is the hi light dining experience. Brett was our server not just this time but 9 months ago as well and we were remembered. Fantastic food and experience.”
“We were sat upon arrival for our reservation. The leather bound EXTENSIVE meno was a nice touch. Ethan, our waiter, was jovial, attentive, but not hovering. We took our time ordered drinks (Raising Cane was a fun, different flavor!). The meatballs were unique and "exotic" spices as claimed in the menu. The tuna tartar had a little bit of kick with flavoring, but the highlight was the grilled toast. We shared a small tossed salad which was just the right amount after two apps. Our mains were Duck Pappardelle (special) and pasta al vodka with chicken thighs. Both were outstanding, with nice portions size. As we were leaving my husband gave his best review "We need to come back here, there are several other things I'd like to try!" A nice after dinner walk back to our car, parked on the river. (Give yourself plenty of time to get parked and walk, as there is no direct parking on these beautiful old brick streets.)”

“My wife and I went to Michael's for our first wedding anniversary and were blown away by the experience. The atmosphere may seem simple, but understand you're sitting in a restaurant that began as a house in 1764. The floors are older than most of our ancestries in this country. On this hallowed grounds they serve amazing wines, mashed potatoes to write home about, and a filet that is done to such perfection and personal preference, that I know they're cooked sous vide, not held too long at temp, and seared to perfection by a very deft hand. I cannot wait to return to the charm of St Augustine and, when I do, it will be this very same experience that I rush to first.”
“What a great place. Food was wonderful and authentic and the service was excellent. So glad we went.”
“I have eaten at the restraunt a couple times inside and it has been awesome everytime so I do recommend eating there. Service has always been awesome, but Do not order to go. The food quality to go is nowhere close to when eat eat there and that's disappointing. I ordered hibatchi chicken and shrimp to go and pretty good chicken and shrimp floating in sauce and a bunch of onions and carrots floating in watery sauce. Will never order to go again. Especially when my whole order was over 75 dollars.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Delicious meals for my family of 4 with great service and love the ambiance inside. Very kid friendly with butcher paper on the table so we could doodle while we waited. Saturday lunch time and we still had no wait to be seated. Will definitely be back!”
“Tori is an amazing server ! She was super attentive and funny even when it was busy. We come to this location pretty often, and it’s always really good, but the service made it an extra great trip today.”

“new to town and decided to try this restaurant since it's only 5 minutes away. Boy am I glad I did! I got the pan fried fish and crab cake. It was amazing and very heavy portions as well. my boyfriend got the swiss burger which was just as delicious. and the service was amazing. Sam was our bartender, she was very helpful and gave us 10/10 service. Will definitely be back again very soon.”
“Just thought I was gonna go into this little joint. I was pretty fooled when I stepped in to a totally different atmosphere, a place where all the locals come, and it was packed, sat at the bar Andrew the bartender took care of us. He was amazing. He was on top of his game. Nothing unusual for him whatever he suggested was excellent service excellent food excellent wine excellent I drank sangria from Spain so did everybody else in the place? It’s my new go to it’s a hidden gem and I really thought this was just a joint and didn’t know if I was actually gonna eat here but was T fooled thank you so much guys for your food and service will bring all my friends and family to you.”
“Ordered shrimp and grits... $21 for a large spoon of grits and not sure what was mixed in the gravy , and 5 small shrimp.. Awful tasting and not enough for even a small kid. So disgusted. Granddaughter got chicken po boy she said was good. I sure wouldn't choose this place for seafood..”
“The attention was great, Franchesca took great care of us and her suggestions were excellent. The chimi was worldwide!!! The food was super delicious, despite the house being full, the wait was super short and the food was ready in no time!!! 10/10 🤗🤗🤗”
“Good atmosphere. Mostly the food was good but my steak in the Asado Trio was super chewy (I tried 2 bites and had to embarrassingly spit them out into my napkin). The chicken, chorizo and veggies were great! Very disappointed I mentioned this out to our waitress and no apology from management or acknowledgement. For the price one would expect top notch food.”
“Donna Hopke provided amazing friendly and very professional services! I like coming here and I always ask for her!”
“We popped in here on a whim. Tucked down a little, cute street, fostering a wonderful vibe. It was about to sprinkle(maybe..Florida, ya know) but the owner said if we wanted to chance it, would could sit outside, as the wait time for an inside table was over an hour. We decided to chance it. So glad we did! Best chicken piccata I’ve ever had. Generous “wife portions” of wine, hah. And the food came very quickly. Really enjoyed the owner’s hospitality as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Last evening we had a delightful and delicious dinner. Rum pour was generous. JJ was our outstanding and friendly waitress. She made our dinner special with her attentiveness. We will continue to return to this gem and hope JJ is our waitress again.”
“Awesome food and Ivy was the best of the best serving us and everyone our food and drinks at the bar. It took us 3 attempts over 3 hours of walking around the Nights of Lights to finally get in...was worth it! :-)”
“We had dinner at Elkhouse Eatery and were so very pleased with the service and food. Wonderful presentation and delivery. It's a must try when your in town.”
“The staff all throughout this hotel was remarkable. From front desk, valet, restaurant to pool…everyone was so kind, courteous, helpful and just fun! Amazing hotel that we highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
“I love their pizza and other food items. I go there often beautiful atmosphere and great music. A lot of fun!”
“Food was amazing the servers where excellent nice atmosphere and clean 10/10 highly recommend.”
“Ashley took such good care of our family! We each got something different (kids Alfredo, kids spaghetti and meatball, lasagna, & chicken Marsala and dessert-gelato for the kids and bread pudding for my husband & I to share) everything was amazing! Thank for for giving us a wonderful wedding anniversary dinner 💞 we have been to this location a few times and it’s never been a disappointment!”
“My wife and I came here for our 31st anniversary. A highly rated restaurant. My meal, steak bowl, was very tasty. The steak was tuff. Over cooked I think. My wife had a fish meal. I forget which. She was very disappointed in the taste and quality of her meal. I have NEVER see my wife complain about a meal before. When our waitress (she was great!) Asked how the meal was my wife told her. Later a woman, not a lady, came to our table concerning our dissatisfaction. She seemed to be insulted and left in a huff. Normally a dissatisfied customer is given a discount or a free dessert. Something. Nothing was offered. What should have been an enjoyable dining experience for Saint Augustine residents celebrating their anniversary was left lacking. 🤢”
“One of St Augustine’s most underrated seafood places. Great views, great food and great vibe.”
“Sheri was awesome! Very neat and tucked away hidden gem. Culinary skills in the kitchen are a big stand out. A lot of homemade in-house recipes that left us wanting more. The bottle of proseco chosen for us was the icing on the cake. We will back for sure....”
“Always a great stay here. The staff is exceptional and the rooms are very nice. The view is unbeatable. We look forward to coming every year.”
“Fun must stop attraction in beautiful Historic St. Augustine area. Tons to do for the whole family, they have Trolly tours and Jail House tours. A few gift shops and an exhibit inside the Gator Bobs gift shop. The gift shop has a ton of things including T-Shirts, Souvenirs, and food as well. Loved all the decor and themed items located around the area. The surrounding area was absolutely beautiful. We will definitely come again our next trip in town.”
“The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the escargot and definitely did not regret it. The atmosphere in the once past pool was a different experience. Quiet, romantic and simply beautiful. Our waitress was phenomenal and cared to our every need. We can’t wait to come back.”
“I love the ambiance and the food here. If you like seafood this is the place. Everything I’ve had is good. The portions are large and you can watch the fish in the ocean!”
“We had no prior knowledge of Blackfly. We chose it because it was close to our rental. We smiled as soon as we walked in the side door leading to the bar area and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. The further we entered the very well decorated restaurant the more we knew we had made a good choice. To us, the best reason to visit St. Augustine is dining at the Blackfly! We went all out and had drinks, appetizers, their version of Coquille St. Jacques and their Chilli lime shrimp. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection with exceptional sauces. Main course was a Chef's Special which was baked shrimps, scallops over a bed of thai noodles and a sauce to die for. I had the bone in Pork chop cooked medium rare and it was delicious. Blackfly has a vast selection of wines in their wine cellar and we enjoyed a nice Honig sauvignon blanc. Kudos to Matt, our server, who throughout the evening gave us the right amount of attention and space to relax for our entire dining experience. The food was so good and well prepared that I was compelled to go to the kitchen to thank the staff and gave a large tip for the kitchen staff . Our evening at Blackfly was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Vaughn and staff, you have an outstanding establishment.”
“The ambiance is effortlessly charming, with soft lighting, delicate floral decor, and a cozy yet refined atmosphere that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff were impeccable—welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. As for the food—oh, the food. Each dish felt like a masterpiece, with flavors that were both familiar and entirely new. The cocktails were a dream. Especially, the espresso martini. The best one I have ever had! Offering a menu of culinary artistry, this place is an absolute gem!”
“Savannah did a Great job serving us ,truly an a person to be working at your location”
“Absolutely fantastic service was very convenient fast food service our server Ashley knew all the answers to everything and she ordered for us we were not disappointed at all and have been there every time we visit. Lovely atmosphere must see”
“What an amazing experience! If you love wine and food you won’t regret it. Ed was an awesome tour guide!”
“St. Augustine, FL. Oh what a divine breakfast we had at Aviles! Shiraz, who greeted us and served us, was so wonderfully warm, quiet and sweet. Just what you need in the morning. We were the second table to be seated.
I tried shakshuka for the first time. It was incredible. And so was Steve’s croissant, omelet, our coffee, and my Cuban toast. Steve took extra long because on top of his croissant he ate my Cuban toast! They put little jars of Dickinson’s preserves on the table with a nob of real butter so of course he slowed down to savor that.
Aviles felt like a bright cocoon in the morning light with the flowers outside the shuttered windows. What a good memory.”
“We had our Son and DIL rehearsal dinner here last week and seriously cannot express how perfect it was! From the first time we inquired to the day of was exceptional! Marco is a saint! She took care of every single detail, even went as far as going and picking something up for us on her personal time, all we had to do was decide on what we wanted served and drop off decor.. everything else was handled by her! The service was amazing and the food was delicious! Everyone was so impressed! It was perfect and so beautiful! They really have it together here, the hospitality and ambiance is amazing ❤️”
“Sweet server and and excellent chef. Perfect Dining experience and has been for over 20 years! Mikados never lets me down.
Kid-friendliness: Kid are always welcome but may be afraid of the fire.”
“I bought our piercings at the Port Orange city center event. Froze them until last night, cooked them today as directed. They were delicious. I will be getting them again”
“I was there on October 7th, and I will come back here any time I return to the city. The prices are beyond reasonable, the food was great, and the bartender was awesome. Would recommend to anyone who visits St. George Street.”
“My wife and I did our rehearsal dinner at the taberna and they were phenomenal.The food was sneaky good, I would definitely recommend the plantains, the beans, and most importantly the short rib. The bacon wrapped scallops rocked too!Autumn and her team took tremendous care of our whole group. I can’t say thank you enough.”
“Me and my family have dined here every time when visiting St Augustine and the food has never disappointed me yet, fresh food and a great atmosphere!”
“Last night we made a dinner reservations quite late The food was very good We were the last ones but were given excellent service We would definitely come again The server Spencer was really on point”
“The food is typical Buffalo wild wings a decent meal with a beer or two. This place stood out for the Great customer service experience, and the manager Mr. Zanzari who keeps a constant eye on the place and makes everything possible to make sure all excels... Thank you Sir.”
“Ordered ox tail. Never had it before just heard how good it is. I'll tell you it was the best beef stew I ever had. Had cabbage and fried broccoli dam it was good will be back soon.”
“Stopped by today 2/14/2025 and sat at the bar for an adult beverage and dessert:) It was a different kind of experience sitting there (usually at a table eating!). Well let me tell you the 2 bartenders Taylor & Lena were the best!! So fun watching them being “mixologists”….so good!! They were so sweet too! And of course our drinks were sooo good, “a chocolate covered kiss and simple beer for the hubby!”. But to top it off Eddie, the chef came out and delivered a special dessert to me. So yummy and he is soooooo nice. OC White’s are so fortunate to have these 3 as part of their staff and many others. And let me mention their food is the best!! Thanks for topping off our Valentine’s Day!!! Jacqueline & Bob Scheidler ♥️”
“The grand opening of the Texas Roadhouse in St. Augustine was a bustling affair, with diners pouring in non-stop. The managers and staff were well-prepared and eager to serve. As I arrived, I noticed the addition of a To Go walk-up window, a fantastic concept that I'll surely use in the future. Our dining experience was delightful, thanks to our server Taylor. She was incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable, making our time there enjoyable. Despite my son running late, she remained patient as I held the table for an extended period. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice Nay, one of the servers, who stood out from the rest. She was not only efficient and diligent but also showed compassion and care. I watched in awe as she communicated with an elderly couple using sign language, engaging them in full conversations. The couple looked so happy and appreciative of Nay's genuine personality, and I was equally impressed. I made sure to inform Nay's manager, Chase, of my observations. The staff's genuine desire to make the dining experience enjoyable is what will bring me back in the near future.”
“This is always my FIRST stop when I am in town!! Bartender was amazing, great service as always, and YUMMY food!!”
“Perhaps because of the night lights in the city, there were quite a few people shopping. The place was nice. Everything I ate was delicious.
It was worth the wait.
I loved your Christmas decoration.
It is not economical.”
“Last night, a small group of us came in for dinner to celebrate a friends birthday a little early. We were quickly sat on the patio with an amazing view of the water, our sever was prompt and attentive while also very knowledgeable about the menu. She even went the extra mile with a co worker to bring out the cake cake and help sing with us:) But the show stopper for me was for sure the Tuna Bowl!!! It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth! Each bite was just, chefs kiss. An amazing dish!!! I will definitely be back and will highly recommend this place to anyone in the area visiting or local.”
“One by of worst experiences of our lives! Food is ok. Rude waiter, loud, perhaps high as kite!!!! Could not wait to get out of there. If you want to be treated poorly,and by Jason,this is the place to go. He has poor customer service.”
“We were on the Rum Runner 21+ tonight and it was horrible. My husband and I wanted to get outta there so bad and we couldn’t. Another couple that was there could not wait to get off the ship as well. We get it’s a 21+ and totally fine with the bad words. But the way they talked about sex etc was just nasty and embarrassing. I would not waste my time on this if I were you. It’s nothing like it was said to be. Yea that sang and told jokes but that was it. No pirate stuff, no finding the treasure like we were told. Just not happy at all. We will not return.”
“Small and quaint, lovely staff, food was fast and yummy!!! Highly recommend over chain restaurants. EAT LOCALLY and support small businesses”
“Thank you very much for a wonderful evening for our wedding in The Milano Room. The staff was very attentive to our needs during pre-planning and during the event. The meatball appetizer was incredible!! Thanks for everything!! -Tom and Michelle”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“Brunches experience so far have been awesome ? big parking lot great spot for motorcycles. The different sections have created uniquely different atmosphere. Family friendly pet friendly. Diverse menu plus the upstairs bar is great for watching sports not bad seat in the house ?
Parking: Location is great rarely a wait
Kid-friendliness: Big menu for kids
Wheelchair accessibility: Awesome ?”
“Was visiting the area and looking for a nice burger spot. It's delivery only but this was by far one of the best burgers I have ever had. And the Chefs seasoned potatoes really blew it over the top. Price was reasonable too. If you haven't tried it. Try it.”
“We went on August 19th to eat, my card was charged twice for the same meal. I've called twice, been told the manager would call me back and never got a call back. I will never go back again and will now have to go to my bank to dispute the charge. The couple I went with also had their card charged twice as well. Ridiculous! It wasn't cheap to eat there, but I was willing to pay for good seafood... but not twice! Won't ever go back!”
“Got off the beaten path today with my wife to try St. Augustine Fish Camp for lunch. We’re really glad we did too. Everything about or visit was amazing. Seated quickly, Josh and Cody were very attentive to all or needs as were all the staff. Food was presented well, it was fresh, hot and tasted great! Well done Fish Camp!”
