The Blackened seared tuna was fresh, light and tasty. Their sangria is authentic Spanish recipe. I was impressed and dinning in the balcony was a nice experience.

Tell me why everyone around us is eating at 10:30pm, and they just decide to stop serving food when they close at 12am. It’s quite ludicrous to be a bar with food and not serve at least until 11:30. What a wasted opportunity.

The service was terrible — we sat for 40 minutes before someone even came to get our drink order, and lunch took almost two hours. The food was mediocre at best. Both kids complained about still being hungry, so we had to go get more food on St George after lunch was over. And the house salad description sounded great but was missing the pecans and was served with a ton of store-bought bacon bits, so the whole thing smelled and tasted like dog breath. Super gross and definitely not worth the extra $7. We went there because someone recommended the bay view from the second-floor balcony as wheelchair accessible for my dad. Unfortunately, they have all the tables pushed against the wall instead of the railing, so he had to sit facing a yellow wall with his back to the bay for the whole two hours.There are so many exceptional restaurants in St Augustine — this is one of the few duds. Skip it. The view isn’t worth it.

Really good food and a great selection of beer on tap. Bar service with a full food menu on the first floor. The actual restaurant with table sevice is on the second floor. No elevator.

Stopped by while on a self guided brewery tour. This is Resto & brewery multi levels, multi bars and seating areas. Sat on the balcony overlooking the water, will be a better experience when the construction on the street is finished. Had a couple of tasty IPAs, no food. Good service.

Food was disappointing. My cubano sandwich had one thin slice of pork, one thin slice of ham and two pickles. My friend’s grilled cheese had one slice of cheese and one slice of bacon. Fries were served luke warm, at best. Wouldn’t go back.

We’ve dined here multiple times. However, my review is on my wedding on January 26th 2024! Laura was absolutely amazing! I love St Augustine and she definitely helped me make my dream come true! We got married in the Bayview room and it was absolutely perfect! They helped set up our decorations the food was amazing and the staff was so attentive and friendly!

Worst dining experience in years. We were told it would be a 30-minute wait for a balcony table and it ended up being over an hour and then we were sat and ignored another 15 minutes before anybody even acknowledged us. Then we were served the worst Caesar salad I have ever had with shredded parmesan instead of shaved and it was warm. Our fisherman's platter had the smallest piece of fish + it was overcooked. The shrimp was acceptable and the calamari was alright but both were barely a handful and the fries were lukewarm. They were out of slaw and I mistakingly choose the veggies that were hard and barely warm. We only come up every couple years but we will never come here again.

Wonderful Experience Anything we needed they did for our meal and custom-made my drink how I requested it. Food.. Oh the Shrimp Taco’s were excellent... Hubby had Fried Shrimp and also said they were seasoned nicely. One of favorite dining places in this beautiful area! Thanks Again ❤️

The shrimp and grits is more like bacon and grits. Barely any sauce and more bacon than shrimp. Extremely disappointed with their food. This was my second time there and again another disappointment. :-(Their nachos were okay. The waiter that served me on the balcony was nice.An expensive experience for not good food.
