Brian was an outstanding server and even happened to know some of the kids who had passed. The food, drinks and service were excellent!! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food!!!! Quick and friendly service. Just like a northern fish fry!“

“Awesome Italian restaurant , our waitress Mary was great. We know the owners, fantastic husband & wife team, they both make it one of the best Italian restaurants in Jax area. The piano 🎹 man, Roger Wood is so talented. He is such an old soul musician, plays the crooner standards that Baby Boomers love. Did I mention the food is fantastic. Vito's is such a fun time. We always leave there with a full belly, happy memories, and wanting to return soon. Well done 👏.“

“First time there a week ago food and service was perfect! I brought another friend 5 days later but this time the food was barely lukewarm. Service was good but my friend did not want to complain that her chimichanga was cold. Sometimes you just don’t feel like it. I didn’t care for my dish which I wouldn’t order again which was quesadilla with chicken and pineapple. I couldn’t taste the pineapple. I’ll go back but order something different.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Attentive service and delicious meals“

“Lovely atmosphere and food!“

“The fried shrip was great. outstanding service followed!“

“I am extemely grateful for being able to reserve time for 14 people on Mother's day when other places gave me the run around. We were given a private room to accomodate our large party, but noticed that the whole restaurant was very laid back and didn't feel overwhelmingly overcrowded. The Elevated Margarita is my new drink recommendation and all the seafood and sides tasted amazing. Our server also did a wonderful job taking care of us on our special day. Thank you!“

“I ordered the Red Snapper Escovitch dinner and it didn't miss a beat!!! It was seasoned to profection & very delicious!!! I also got an order of plantains which was very delicious!! Their staff was very nice as well as the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend them!!!“

“This is one of the very best Sushi restaurants that i have ever eaten at. The service was spectacular and the selection of sushi and sashimi was stupendous. I have eaten in many Sushi restaurants and I have to say this is by far my favorite . Whenever we are in St. Augustine I know we will eat there again. My husband, who does not like sushi, also loved the food he was able to get.“

“Stopped in for good old fashioned fish and chips one night and Tony at the bar suggested that I come back on Thursday nights when it was the special. That was great advice. Two huge perfectly battered and fried planks of flaky white fish, delicious French fries and a couple of hush puppy's total hit the spot. Their homemade cocktail sauce is also great with the perfect amount of horseradish. Overall it was a great experience! Give them a try right off 295 and Old St. Augustine rd!“

“The service is not the problem. This has a great chance to be better than what it currently is. Sitting out back is cool for the kids because of the otter and the alligator in the pond. But this inside not great, it kind of smells in my opinion. Bu the people here are very friendly.“

“A dozen raw oysters on the half shell and half pound each of shrimp and black mussels… some of the best I’ve ever had! Fantastic place to eat. Highly recommended“

“To set the stage, if I was forced to select only 1 cuisine for the rest of my life, this 51 year old Georgia boy would select Chinese 🇨🇳 food 🍜🥡🥠🍚. I've eaten at a TON of Chinese restaurants and you're in luck if you're able to get food from here. Every dish I've had is a perfect representation! One last thing I must point out, this place, BY FAR, has the BEST pork fried wontons I've ever had. I included a couple of photos. You can see perfection in the crispy wonton bubbles. Trust me, just get em. This place absolutely deserves 10/10 on every aspect!“

“Randy was friendly and helpful. Hope that's the norm and not just because I walked in with a hottie. Good suggestions on wing sauces and specials. Atmosphere is best one can expect in a strip mall. Well done.“

“What a vibe ! Good food and the vibes are for every race. Dj played party in the USA by Miley cirus while I ate a bob marley oxtail 🫶🏽“
