“The food here was excellent. I started with the chowder fries, different but very good. Maybe a little more chowder.I had the lobster ravioli with lots of yummy flavor. My wife had the tortellini Alfredo and has high standards for her Alfredo sauce and this measured up.Everything was excellent, however the service was too notch. The server, Christine, was very attentive and accommodating. On top of the that, busser was excellent as well. Cleared our plates timely, polite, and also very attentive, a hard worker.“

“Had a party of 9 adults and 2 toddlers for lunch. They moved chairs and tables for us and the waitress was highly attentive in a good way. Food came out hot and together dispite that some ordered breakfast and others ordered lunch. We will be back.“

“My wife and I love this place, our favorite place in St. Augustine and possibly all of Florida. You can't go wrong with anything here, drinks are always top notch, and food is amazing.Haven't tried everything on the menu but I can say the fish dip, eggs benedict, and blackened fish sandwich are out of this world.Would give the Ice Plant 100 stars if I could.“

“We frequent St. Augustine for an evening out about once a month from Mandarin (Jacksonville). We had the grilled mahi with grit cakes and grilled chicken spring risotto for dinner tonight. Fantastic food (kudos to the chef) and great attentive service. I also enjoyed 2 of their Manhattans which were as good as the ones that I had in New York!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!!!“

“This place has a great ambiance, with live music and good service. They were very busy though, so the food took a long time to come out and my soup was not hot. Other than that, everything tasted yummy and everyone enjoyed their meals. I will definitely come back.“

“In the quaint town of St. Augustine, FL, you can find this cocktail bar near the beach. The ambiance inside can be described as vintage elegance, with cozy additional seating outside. But what truly stole my heart was the bird cage out front, a great spot that practically begs for a photo op! The drinks were nothing short of spectacular. Each cocktail was crafted with meticulous care and precision, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and creativity. From classics to innovative concoctions, every sip was a delight. While we didn't indulge in the food offerings this time around, I have no doubt that they're equally impressive. However, the drinks alone are reason enough to pay this place a visit.“

“Apr 2024: Came here on a Monday night and sat on the rooftop. Beautiful views. Rooftop is first come first serve and grab a seat anywhere. They have a different food menu up there (less expensive). We ordered the lobster pizza and filet pizza. Both were excellent. The filet pizza had a lot of steak on it. Also ordered an old fashioned which was great. I would recommend this place and come back.“

“My mother, sister and I were ravenous and needed good sandwiches that would fill us up. We also needed a place with outdoor seating because we had the dog with us. We chose Cheba Hut and we're not disappointed! The outdoor seating was perfect and an employee even filled up a doggy bowl with water for our pup. The sandwiches were incredible and hearty (probably a top 3 sub - and I'm a tough critic). If you want a good sandwich and you're hungry, come here!“

“Unexpected night out landed us here. Arrived here about 830ish, unfortunately they were out of several items that we were interested in. A singer was here this evening, pleasant atmosphere. I joked that it has a Pottery Barn/Crate and Barrel feel to it.Service was great, waiter was very polite and social.Food was amazing. Steak was tender, sweet potato fry things were seasoned perfect. Great flavoring. Bread tray was different, the biscuit had an interesting scent to it, possibly an orange scent or flower. Can't place it.Would definitely come back.“

“A carribean girl dream!! Food near the beach? Plenty of parking? Great food eats and enjoyable atmosphere with nice reggae playlist in the background? Look no further! Best last minute eats before we went home. Our server was amazing, attentive and recommended great options. The drinks with wine base was absolutely a great touch and amazing!! The food was hot, fresh and excellent flavor. The tacos I highly recommend!! Can’t wait to return back! 10/10 recommend“

“Jenna & Jared have created a unique spot in downtown St Augustine. Jenna did an amazing job with my tattoo! This is my 2nd tattoo from her. She even touched up the 1st tattoo without me even asking! Afterwards, my friend & I enjoyed a glass of Prosecco at the bar! This is a great place with an awesome vibe!!“

“First time hearing of and eating at Mellow Mushroom. The staff is very amazing and friendly and pizza is top notch! And this is coming from a New Yorker:).The hours of operation were convenient. I was looking for a place to eat late at night and this place popped up a few block from my hotel. If I visit St Augustine again, I will definitely eat here and will eat at other Mellow Mushrooms in other states.“

“I don’t know if I want everyone to know but this is my favorite place. I absolutely love doing the wine tasting just before going to eat upstairs. My favorite item is the Cheeseburger with bacon (best), the music has a chill vibe and Ashley (server) took great care of us and was very pleasant.“

“We always make a few stops here while in St Augustine, the food is always good, with generous portions, tonight we had the best server, Dana.Always a great experience and I highly recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Our server was great at making sure my meal was dairy free.“

“AAaaaaaaaaaa+++++++++++ I have to admit, we were a little skeptical when we walked in the door. We could definitely get the vibe of a former Chinese Buffet of some sort......But the food was amazing. Great atmosphere. Great staff. We will definitely return if we pass through again!“

“Stopped here by myself for a quick bite. I had the rueben dog. It was the best hot dog I ever ate in my life. All beef cooked perfectly, the bun was so soft and warm, the cheese and slaw just melted in my mouth. I only hope to get back one day for another one.“

“This place has really good artists playing all the time. You see people peeking into the courtyard to see who’s playing. Some people walk and dance to the beat as they walk by, and others make there way in. I consider this pub, one the best with music entertainment on St. George street. Food offered at this location is Auntie Anne’s, inside building. I got the impression that this location only offers beers, wine, and premixed drinks. Which is fine and understandable. I was looking for more like a mixed drink.“

“The Savory Faire Food & Wine Tour with Ed was exceptional. We enjoyed his culinary knowledge, and tales of St. Augustine’s history, woven between sips and bites. A delightful treat for our anniversary with new friends. A highlight of our visit!“

“LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! Celebrated my 50th Birthday here... went two days in a row! It is such a fun atmosphere! Drinks were delicious and you get a little duck with every drink. Prices were great! So happy to have this little piece of fun in St. Augustine. Will be visiting often for sure! On Saturday, there was only one bartender, but she was working her tail feathers off and didn't miss a beat. Wish I got her name, because she was amazing!“

“The St. George Tavern is a grungy bar where your choice is a surprisingly good lunch or a day at the bar drinking your cares away. We chose the former. Our club sandwich was piled high with turkey, bacon, ham and cheese. Our bratwurst, slathered in a scrumptious mustard sauce, was the star. They seem to do a brisk take-out business and everything we saw being packed for delivery looked great.“

“This a great, new establishment in St. Augustine! Light-hearted and fun atmosphere. I played Scrabble there with my sister recently on a huge game board supplied by Mugsy's. Lol. And the wait-staff have always been polite, friendly and welcoming. Cheers!!!“

“Visited St. Augustine for the first time and tried this place and I was really good. I had the brisket, brisket ends and ribs. Sides collard greens and corn. Family members had chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, fries and blackeye peas. The Mac and cheese was the only thing on the plate that no one enjoyed. Our witness was friendly and attentive. Would recommend.“

“Nick was AMAZING. The best local dive bar we could've stumbled upon. took us in like we were locals. He sang to us with a guitar. we came down here as a girls trip to just get away and he made us feel like we were right where we need to be. Not only him but all the locals as well, could never have a nicer bartender or local crowd“

“A cool brewery in Downton St Augustine.We stopped in for a drink while wandering the city. It's a nice tap room with a lot of space. You can definitely pack a lot of people in. There are just a few tables but they don't have food anyway. The staff are nice enough.Nice selection of beers, amber, porter, red, IPA, lager. Nice spread. They were out of the 2 I was most interested in which is shame but it happens. Also while the IBU's were fairly low on most beers they all had a harsh hop bite on the finish. If you're into IPAs you'll probably like everything here. If not then everything other than the porter is probably going to turn you off.Not a bad place to drink to in St Augustine.“

“Great place to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very clean atmosphere and friendly people along with great bartenders. I would recommend going here if you like to chill and have a few drinks while you watch a game or play pool.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly place.“

“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.“

“Love this place! Very unassuming, relaxed atmosphere. Dive bar vibe ?. Great drinks, great prices. Gotta love the soft spots in the floor .Kid-friendliness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Should have given it 5 stars since they don't allow anyone under 21 years old.“

“Had a great time with TJ and Anita earlier today while we were downtown. We loved the bar, very historic feeling and the mill itself is very interesting to watch from one of the tables. We liked the drinks we got, plus the music was pretty enjoyable. Great place for a date!“

“We came from out of town just to come back to pizzalleys! TWICE!!!!! In ONE day. Sam was our waitress at first and then Isabella and Kevin the second go around. We couldn’t be more happy and pleased with both experiences. Great food, drinks, atmosphere and customer service. Ask for any of them!!“

“If you like dive bars, like I do, you will enjoy this place. Cold beers - nice jukebox - and a lot of locals. Felt a little bit as an outsider but seemed to be welcomed by everyone on the place. Pool table and tv on the wall along with a few slot type machines. If you are not into a bar that you can smoke in, forget it. This IS A BAR - with cold beer, cigarette smoke and a few good laughs. Take it for what it is.“

“Had a party of 6 for a beautiful sunset dinner. Highly recommend the back porch for outdoor casual dining. Oysters were fantastic, fresh shucked with great taste. Fish sandwich was also killer, fresh catch of the day was mahi.Dietary restrictions: Accomodations for shellfish allergies“

“I had the best experience at this restaurant for my birthday. My husband worked with Jeanetta to reserve the venue for my private event party. There was a live band that played 90s pop and r&b covers. They had a photo booth and custom made my birthday cake. I felt so special and my guests all felt like VIP. Service was amazing, food was so delicious and the entertainment was fantastic. Big thanks to Lisa and her team. We were talking about my party for days! I'll be sure to consider hosting my next intimate celebration here again! Loved every detail and care they took for my special day.“

“Loved the Castillo first time visit with my brunch group. We had a private room, it was amazing. Our waitress was very efficient and friendly. Food was delicious. Everything was great. The hotel was elegant and comfortable, we took a look around.“

“Brian gave us the best experience we have had in a long long time. Service is everything.Then the food backed it all up. Tuna app was outstanding. Wings were ???.Crab ? legs were amazing but a little small. Salmon sandwich is AMAZING.THANK YOU BRIAN!!! we will be back tomorrow night for sure.“

“We stayed down the street for vacation and decided to come here the last night to unwind before driving back home to Pinells. Had a great time. The bartender and locals were a lot of fun and everyone was super cool to us. Definitely coming back next time we come up here!“

“Burger was good, if your not a regular, you will get 2nd rate service. Had lunch, and we came back to see the band they raved about. Got here an hour early and they had saved a dozen tables, there are only about 20, for people that aren't there yet. When we asked which tables weren't saved, there was one in the gar corner. So if you're not a regualar, dont bother. If you sit at the tables they tell you not to walk to the bar and get a drink. Bar resue.....“

“PK Poutine was out of this world. The pork belly was crispy and good. The cheese sauce they use was smooth and creamy. Our waiter, Lex, was funny and truly great with taking our orders. The drinks were strong but good. Lex was good in making suggestions. The place is comfortable once we moved to the bench seats. Chairs at table aren't user friendly for wide butts. Overall it was a fun meal with a bounty of good food.“

“We did the Black Raven Rum Runner Cruise for my husband's birthday, and we had a blast! The only thing that I would change is that there aren't any speakers on the 2nd deck, so we had to move down to the first to hear. The drinks are strong, so if you like them weaker, TELL THEM! Lol. Otherwise, you get a strong drink! All in all, it was a great experience, and we are definitely coming back!“

“The bartender that is named Gina, is absolutely amazing. She provided a warm experience for me and my friends. Excellent service and she was never without a Smile. I will definitely be back again, and i look forward to her jokes and quick come back.“

“Traci our waitress was awesome! Being an Italian from NJ, NY area, we were looking for great food, we found it here! Atmosphere is great, coming back Friday. Met with the owner Tonino, very happy we stopped in for dinner. Great place to eat, drink, and listen to music. Bella serata di Gusto! Grazie mille!“

“Amazing food, good service, friendly staff. The facility is a bit run down. I will definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in town.Parking: Posted signs said "Tow away zone" with the name of a different business, but we asked the staff, and they said that was the right place to park. I guess it must have been a previous business at that same location.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to front door. It's a bit narrow, though.“
