“Sushi Zento is extremely consistent with the service and their food! It’s always one of my Go To ### spots for either lunch or dinner isIt’s always cooked perfectly and the sushi is always fresh. They also give you a nice little crab fried appetizer thing which is delicious along with the soup and salad, so win-win all around highly recommended.“
“We went yesterday for some drinks and snacks after the beach. The calamari was super fantastic. So tender and lightly fried. Best I ever had in St. Augustine and we have tried a lot of places. We also had the fish dip which was excellent too served with fried bread and cocktail sauce which was amazing. Frankie is always a great bartender. We have not been there since they gave it a fave lift. We loved it!!!“

“I accidentally left my review for the resort so I'll write it again here. The hostess Rachael was super sweet and helpful, kylee our server was also sweet and patient. Together they both helped us decide what we wanted to try on the menu and it was amazing!!! The tortellini add chicken and if you ask for it to be made creamier it is just perfection! The atmosphere is beautiful as well!“

“Peter Kalleres and his “A Team” are five stars amazing in every way!! They were professional, personable, “hands on” and impressively attentive to every guest! Peters’ excellent leadership of his staff made our sons and fiancé rehearsal dinner at “The Bailey Bar” simply the best ? !!! The food was first class delicious. The service and atmosphere from the planning stage to the event itself was excellent! Each of our 47+ guest felt special. We as host felt proud. Every detail from the table arrangements to the table and bar top decor that I requested was impeccable. Most importantly the hospitality to all was remarkable, joyful and fun. Thank you Peter for being you! ???❤️??Proud parents of the groom,Andrea and Frank Cole“
“Best seafood in St. Augustine! Just had to go back and DJ’s didn’t disappoint!! We always try restaurants from Diners, Dine-ins and Dives:Party of 5The Maine Lobster roll was on a garlic butter roll. Super fresh and filled with so much lobster. Gotta get it, it’s amazing! 2 rolls for us, lol.And the Garlic Steamed Middle Necks, were so good especially with garlic bread to soak up the juices.The Fried Shrimp are lightly breaded and a great size. This came with sweet potato fries and maple mayo which was so, so good.Also be sure to try the Garlic Shrimp Roll on a toasted butter bun. Seasoned and cooked to perfection.Oh and the clam chowder is a home run! The kids dug into the chowder too. There is a great kids menu with PB&J, hot dogs, and more.. but the kiddos had fish tacos, which they left nothing behind.Sending a shoutout to Kaleb, Jake, and Davida! Super fast service and a spotless establishment.FYI there’s lots of seating outside & inside upstairs.Can’t wait to go back for the next round!!Kid-friendliness: There is a great kids menu with PB&J and a Hot Dog amongst other options. It’s a great family friendly atmosphere for any age, including the kiddos!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp that takes you right into the restaurant. There is plenty of seating with ease for those needing wheelchair accessibility.“
“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.“
“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!!!!!“
“Very nice authentic Italian experience. Immediately upon walking in I knew this would be exceptional. Frank Sinatra playing in the background added to the relaxed ambience.I had the Veal Parmason and side of Angele Hair Pasta. For Dessert, Salted caramel Gelato.My server JoJo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is a family owned business tucked away at the end of the shopping center. I came here around 3pm and was seated immediately. I would recommend calling ahead for reservations if you're coming here for dinner. This place is that good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“This place has the best fried shrimp, hands down, served with their own sauce made with datil peppers. I am a cocktail sauce fanatic, but i opt for their sauce. They have wonderful down-home sides. I skip the fries, which are great but too filling. Lima beans, awesome; cucumber onion salad I love, but on sweet side; beets husband says good, green beans delicious. Great hush puppies. Picture of 12 shrimp dinner. When arriving, walk up to window to register. If there is a wait, there is lots of seating on both sides of the building. CASH ONLY, ATM on property.“
“By far best sushi and thai I have had here in Florida. I try to drive up from palm coast atleast once a week. Food is amazing. Great prices and the staff is excellent. Especially Veronica and Henry. I give this place 5 stars all the way around.“
“My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here and it was a wonderful meal. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. They have an extensive wine catalogue for any budget. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, it was worth every penny. It will cost $200 plus to eat here so know that going in and enjoy the entire experience.“

“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.“
“I dined at this beautiful place a few weeks ago and loved it! Wonderful scenery both inside and out. It's an aiport/restaurant! If you have a chance to sit by a window, you can see the run way of where planes would take off and land. Very exciting! Food was delicious and service was impeccable! It was my boyfriend's birthday and they surprised him with a slice of strawberry cheese cake with a candle lit (complimentary). LOVED IT EVEN MORE! Great for any evening dining or outing. Highly recommend.Parking: Parking also next to Aviation school.“
“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.“

“We had good service and the atmosphere was lovely. We got kids grilled fish dinner, blackened shrimp dinner with grits (amazing), and clam strip dinner. The green beans were slightly too salty but that was our only complaint. Prices are high but worth it because of portion size. Would absolutely go back!“
“This has been the best food and service we’ve had after spending a month in St.Augustine. The views are amazing with the spanish moss hanging from the massive tree over you or the sunset on the water due to the direction the deck faces. Our waitress super professional, friendly and helpful. We arrived early for the best seat in the house (in our opinion!). Be there for sunset! My partner loved the Belgian fries (he is Belgian!).

“Blue Crab at it's best!This literal "hole in the wall" is amazing.. I almost didn't find it... It's not in the neighborhood you would expect.. But this man cooked my Maryland style Blue Crab to perfection!Praiseworthy!So many times Ive been disappointed with overcooked crab... This guy really knows his stuff and really friendly as well. Thank you! I'm so happy!“
“We had a dozen oysters, two cioppino's, and the hanger steak. Apple pie a la mode and a bottle of wine. The four of us loved every bite and had leftovers. The steak was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The acoustics are tough in the dining room and it gets loud but the food is the star here. Dylan was our server, he knew the menu well and was attentive.Parking: Unpaved but plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Not a great place for the kids.“
“We thought we weren't going to be able to get in because the place looked so crowded for lunch, but that was the front of the building. Do yourself a favor and go around to the back. Much more open in terms of seating. Less of a hustle and bustle feel. The wait staff was very nice, super friendly and very attentive. We all loved our food! The fried oysters I had were probably the largest I'd ever seen. The Mac and cheese with bacon was absolutely delicious. The piece of fish with the fish and chips was huge The only complaint was the Ruben egg rolls. So you might want to avoid them. We would absolutely return next time we're in town.“
“Fantastic place with live music and great food. Been a family favorite for over 10 years anytime I'm in the area. Can't go wrong with many of the food options and have rotating specials as well. Definitely be willing to wait. Sometimes 2 hr wait but worth it.“

“Outer Banks Boil Company came out to our St. Augustine rental for my wife’s birthday. Scott did an amazing job! Food was delicious! Scott was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a separate pot for a member of our party with a shellfish allergy. Awesome experience!“
“Honestly can not say enough good things about this place…and that says a lot. My partner and I are from the New York / New Jersey area and are admirably very picky with where we eat out.We came to Saint Augustine for a weekend getaway and stumbled upon this place. To say we were impressed is an understatement. The service, the vibes, the drinks, the FOOD is a 10/10. In the short time we’ve been here we’ve gone twice and honestly want to cancel our dinner reservations to go back again one more time before we leave.We are oyster snobs and these are FABULOUS. We crushed 48 and wanted more! If there’s one place you neeeeed to go to either for drinks, food, impeccable vibes or all 3, this is your spot!!“

“My wife and I stopped here for lunch while visiting St. Augustine. It was our anniversary and the day of the eclipse. We were seated at the front and had a great view of the river. I ordered the shrimp and grits and they were the best I ever had. I will stop there again just for that. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere. Give it a try!“
“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!“
“My wife and I had been meaning to try this restaurant for years because we’d heard good things about it, and we finally did tonight. It surpassed all our expectations. We arrived at around 7 pm, and the restaurant wasn’t crowded and was calm and quiet, very good for conversation. The wait staff attended us well and made helpful wine and menu selections. I had a great glass of wine, and my wife had a sangria (they don’t offer mixed drinks). We ordered two appetizers and split a main dish. All were superb! The prices were on the high side, but more than worth it for the taste and the nice atmosphere, and the great wait staff. Nice artwork on the walls , too. We will be back and have already recommended it to friends.“
“Do yourself the favor and EAT HERE! They fish tacos I got were some of the best I've had in a very long while (the datil pepper ones are insanely good). They are parked next to benches for seating so you can enjoy the breezes coming from the beach nearby. The people working are super nice and helpful as well. Highly recommend!“

“We went to Casa Maya for our anniversary dinner last week while vacationing in Florida and discovered this amazing restaurant!! Fabian was our waiter and we could not be more pleased with the service, ambiance, and food! We enjoyed the seafood paella for two and it was exquisite! We also ordered the guacamole for appetizer and it came with salsa too as well as the best tortilla chips all freshly made. Best all around if you want to experience food made fresh and service by Fabian, who was a true gem. Ten thumbs up!! :)“
“We arrived early for our reservation, (highly recommended). As we were waiting for the rest of our party, Cindy came out and asked if we would like something to drink, while we wait. That alone impressed me. Next we were seated quickly after a few others made us welcome. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Our server Anne-Marie, made our whole experience an amazing one. We started out with “Garlic Knots”, that were the best. Next our entrees were some of the best meals I have ever eaten! We had Ziti with meatballs, Flounder, Chicken Wings, and an incredible Chicken Marsala, over a bed of angel hair pasta, with a perfect balance of mushrooms. We finished the meal with Tiramisu. The locals are correct about this being one of the best restaurants in town. We will definitely be back very soon.“
“Several choices of fresh, quality seafood cooked perfectly and served with tasty, non-common side dishes. Save room for the owner’s dessert of the day - coconut pie was a-mazing! Add in the bonuses of smiling, polite, efficient waitstaff and moderate prices and you have yourself an A+ meal!“
“I had the Pineapple Dole Whip in a cone a week ago and I can't stop thinking about it! I was hoping the little Dole frozen cups I found at Publix would be a good comp but they're so bland compared to Likit's. Next time we go back I will def be stopping by!“

“Our dinner was very delicious yet simple. Portion size was a bit under sized for a hungry traveler! What earned the 5 stars was the combination of friendliness, ambiance, and location. Our server gave us a good idea of this family owned business which includes the rustic over the water tiki hut, the restaurant with thatch hut booth like tables to a full facility marina. The views of the surrounding waterways are beautiful…almost don’t want to publish this one but looks like the secret it out, this place has had lots of visitors over the years. Looks like the locals love this place and so do we!Update:Later that week we visited the marina and had an opportunity to speak with the dock master Todd Foote. He took his time to answer our questions about the marina, area nearby, and seasonal weather.This place feels relaxed and folks seem friendly.“
“We’ve stayed in Vilano Beach before but we never managed to get to Aunt Kate’s. This time around, we managed to dine in on Easter Sunday.Coming at around 7 PM, they were decently busy and there was a bit of a wait but not terribly long. The outdoor patio is very cool and our waitress was super friendly.I got the fresh catch sandwich with fries as my entree. I honestly was not that impressed. The fries were pretty great but I received probably the saddest looking piece of fish I’ve ever seen on a sandwich. Their fresh catch was sheep’s head and while it tasted good, the portion size was too small and it wasn’t very crispy.Overall, this was still a decent experience. I might try something else on the menu next time.“
“The only thing that knocked this down was the waiters lack of experience on how to pour a beer. You can't fit 14.5 oz in a 12 oz glass so 2.5 oz landed on the floor. Though we are still laughing at it! The chicken picatta was like an orgasm for my mouth....can I say that? Will it get beeped? It was so flavorful. I want more!! I still left the waiter a 20 dollar tip just for the laugh! He was embarrassed ? but we are a fun loving group! No worries! My hubby didn't need that extra 2 oz anyway lol!“
“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.“
