“My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch in early September when the town was sleepy. We each ordered the fish sandwich with waffle fries. The deep fried fish and bread slices were huge and delicious. My wife ate half of hers and I made it through most but not all of mines. The atmosphere was nice and the place was clean. Service was outstanding. I strongly recommend this small cozy eatery.“

“Reuben waited on me. I tried fajitas, rice, beans, & mojitos. It’s was amazing. 10/10. Clean, stylish, outstanding foods and drinks!!!!“

“Our favorite spot to end the day when visiting St. Augustine! The drinks are great and fairly priced. When you go, make sure to ask to sit in Will’s area. Will has always been our server when there over the past couple of years and actually remembered us a year later after our 1st week there. Maybe we spent a little too many evenings here… Nah!“

“My sister and I were in St Augustine for three nights. We found this bar and loved it to the point of visiting every night. The live music is terrific, the drink prices very reasonable and the staff awesome. Matt, the day bartender is great and our favorite person was Angela or SA. It is the oldest bar in the city. I highly recommend visiting this bar.“

“I have eaten at Piesano's twice, and each time it was awesome! The food is absolutely wonderful - today, my party and I enjoyed a cheese calzone, shrimp scampi, and gorgonzola salad with shrimp. All were excellent. And the service and ambiance are exceptional. It is very quiet and comfortable, and the wait staff are patient and kind and don't mind if you take your time. Not many restaurants are quiet and relaxing these days. The prices are fair, as well, especially considering the high quality of the dishes. Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I came here for our 31st anniversary. A highly rated restaurant. My meal, steak bowl, was very tasty. The steak was tuff. Over cooked I think. My wife had a fish meal. I forget which. She was very disappointed in the taste and quality of her meal. I have NEVER see my wife complain about a meal before. When our waitress (she was great!) Asked how the meal was my wife told her. Later a woman, not a lady, came to our table concerning our dissatisfaction. She seemed to be insulted and left in a huff. Normally a dissatisfied customer is given a discount or a free dessert. Something. Nothing was offered. What should have been an enjoyable dining experience for Saint Augustine residents celebrating their anniversary was left lacking. 🤢“

“Forgotten Tonic is our favorite place in town. It's our go to place that never disappoints. We had an amazing anniversary dinner with delicious food and great cocktails. Our server Phoebe was phenomenal and personable. We loved the Black Lagoon pop up too!“

“Great spot for food and then go outside to the back patio and enjoy great music and atmosphere“

“Amazing outdoor dining experience with delicious seafood and American dishes! Best place to eat in Vilano Beach and best waterfront dining! Also, it’s water-accessible, so bring your boat!“

“Always a fun and nice time here no matter what time of day or night. Yins rock! 🤘🏻🖤“

“Such a lovely afternoon! My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary this week. We found that The Chatsworth has an afternoon tea, which we always look for on our anniversary trips. We were not disappointed! From the warm welcome, to the lovely room with all types of tea china displayed, we were delighted. We had the afternoon tea, with a delicious assortment of teas and a 3-tiered serving dish. Everything was so thoughtfully set out -- such lovely sandwiches and desserts. We were able to enjoy our time there, without being rushed and just enough attention to what we needed. All the while, the music from "Bridgerton" was playing softly in the background. We highly recommend that you spend an afternoon and indulge!“

“I have to be honest and say I can remember when this location was a Greek restaurant in the late 70's, and it's been transformed many times. The decor is cool. Very large space with inside and outdoor seating. Very many cool drink options, but no draft beer. I did settle for an IPA in a can. The fish dip was awesome and it came with some yummy raw veggies. A worthwhile visit.“

“Great atmosphere, and good breakfast.“

“I recommend O.C. White's for the service. I followed Corey the bartender over from his previous gig. He is always johnny on the spot with your food and drinks and ALWAYS hilarious. Stop by and get your favorite libation and a dose of Corey's personality!“

“The host was very sweet and welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Food was delicious and large portions. I had the Mediterranean pasta that was hot to the last bite and had delicious flavor. My server recommended the Dirty banana frozen drink. It was amazing= an adult milkshake. Sunset was gorgeous.“

“Delicious Every Time! One of our Favorite Places to eat!“
