"Though the food might be good, the service was bad and the atmosphere was lackluster. For a place to have such high recommendations and reviews this place fell very short of expectations. I took my gf here for her birthday and was excited to take her here. Made the reservations and even selected birthday as the occasion. When we got to the restaurant our table hadn 't been cleaned off, nobody said happy birthday or even asked what the occasion was. The waitress was not polite and made it seem like we were an inconvenience for wanting to ask a question that may have taken 1 or 2 minutes of time. Now I understand that if a place can hold over 200 people is packed and you are rushing around, then yes I can understand being rushed, but this place holds maybe 25 people max at a given time. We also wanted to try something and asked the server her opinion and the server acted like it would be gross if we ordered it, that is distasteful and just made my gf upset. I even tried talking to the manager about the experience and just didn 't get anything in response and so we left hungry. I get this place might have good food but let 's be honest, you can find good food anywhere and especially in a place like st augustine. When you are spending $100 per person you are paying for the experience and are looking to enjoy yourself, this place falls way short of that. St augustine has many great restaurants and if you are actually looking for a nice place that you will enjoy then I urge you to look elsewhere."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."
