If I could give this cafe 10 stars, I would. How many people can say they are lunch at the bottom of a pool?! The ambiance is excellent and the food is absolutely terrific. We got sandwiches and salad and all of us said our meals were the best we've had in St Augustine yet. This is a must place to eat when you're in town. Also, it is located inside the Lightner Museum which is amazing. The staff at the cafe was also kind and professional. Just book it. You won't be disappointed!!

Very nice atmosphere (in the world’s largest swimming pool) with great service and excellent food. We had the french onion soup and the Cuban sandwich with yellow rice. Loved it! The staff was also very accommodating when we had to change our reservation time.

Lovely atmosphere!! Food was tasty and fresh. Our server Brie was fantastic as well. There was even live music for lunch. You actually are seated in the old pool of this Gilded Age hotel. we walked upstairs after lunch and toward the museum. We highly recommend.

Really neat place to eat. I had read reviews about it being over priced but that wasn't my experience. We had the special with French onion soup. It was delicious.

Great lunch stop after viewing the Lightner Museum. Sean was very friendly and helpful. Food wS so good. I got the Curry Chicken sandwich and a bowl of French onion soup. Delicious
I ordered the Greek cup of soup with a half sandwich, and my wife had a cup of potato soup with a half sandwich. Both were very good—flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere was really neat, and the service stood out. There was a short wait to be seated, but our waiter made us feel comfortable and even brought a pitcher of sweet tea made with simple syrup (sugar water already melted into the tea), which was a nice touch.
Overall, the food was delicious and fairly unique for a small café. We enjoyed the experience and would definitely go again. That said, the portions felt a bit small for the price. For around $20, I would have expected a whole sandwich and a small side.

Food was mediocre at best- nothing to rave about. Service was horrible (at least our waiter was) another waiter was kind enough to top my water off and drop a pitcher of water at the table. Only reason for 3 stars is because of the setting.

Very cool atmosphere, amazing history that you get to sit and enjoy, there was love music, the staff though was not friendly. Our staff never said hello, never smiled, although was polite. The hostess as well, no smile or welcome. Food was very good and fun to walk around afterwards and learn about the history.

We had a great lunch here while visiting St. Augustine. Very cool historical building, really nice atmosphere and delicious food. I had the Cuban sandwich and my wife had the shrimp pasta. The background music provided by the live guitarist was excellent.
