“We had the pleasure of having Sporks cater our welcome party the night before our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Miles and Libby, the owners, were absolute gems to work with. Their attention to detail and dedication to making our event perfect was truly remarkable.First and foremost, let's talk about the food. It was simply phenomenal. Everything was bursting with flavor, and you could tell that only the freshest ingredients were used. The appetizers were incredible. (We had Crab Crakes, Pineapple Chicken Datil Skewers, Blackened Shrimp Skewers, Southwest Chicken Skewers, Cajun Chicken Sliders, Pork Sliders and Mac and Cheese) We had guests lining up by their tent, waiting for the next round of the Pineapple Chicken Datil Skewers.The owners Miles, Libby were awesome the entire planning process. They helped us build out menu and were very responsive with any questions that we had.At the event Miles and Libby and their team were there every step of the way, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that our guests were well taken care of. Their professionalism and passion for what they do shone through in every interaction.We cannot thank Sporks enough for making our welcome party an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for top-notch catering with delicious food and impeccable service, look no further than Sporks. They truly exceeded all expectations, and we would give them ten stars if we could. Highly, highly recommend!“
“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.“
“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.“
“We have been here a handful of times and every time the food has been wonderful. Had the wings today as part of the Sunday Funday menu and they were phenomenal. Love being able to just dock the boat and walk up. A little disappointed by the lack of changing tables in the men’s restroom. My husband has been here before with our daughter and he had to change her diaper in the back of the car. Definitely not ideal or inclusive. Our server Marisa was 10/10, so sweet and attentive! Great experience overall! Just wish they would address the changing table problem.Kid-friendliness: We sat inside, and the area is pretty kid friendly. Another child was seated right next to us and my daughter was having a blast making faces at her. However, we wish there was a changing table in the men’s room as well.“
“Driving up the coast of Florida, stayed overnight in St Augustine and had lunch here. Excellent choice! I had a sweet chili lime shrimp quesadilla, delicious! They also serve “Stubborn” fountain drinks, another of my favorites, well known on the west coast. The Root Beer and Agave Vanilla Creme soda are my favorites. The menu has many choices from tacos to burgers, salads and sea food choices.“
“Stunning building, so much history and character.I would recommend reservations just because of the size and limited tables.We shared one of the specials of the day, which was a Mediterranean sampler, and we also shared the escargot. The food was average.It was nice waking around the building afterwards looking at all the pictures from when it was originally a pool.The courtyard in the middle is beautiful and has some of the biggest koi fish I've ever seen.“
“Straight up fantastic! Super cute seating area, and good prices! The dude running the place even stayed open a little late to make us our food when we walked up to him closing. Fantastic service and the drinks were great? totally get the lemonade here“

“Kassie was our waitress tonight. Food was great, service was great. Drinks stayed full with refills and we were check on throughout our meal. I ordered a burger and my husband also. Both were cooked to order. Thank you John (manager) for making sure our burgers were exactly as we ordered and thank you Kassie for the great service.“
