Definitely a must...from the moment we arrived it was magical. The service and food were amazing. Octopus was Devine, Lamb off the charts and risotto was delicious. Reservations needed.

What a fabulous dinning experience. This was our second time dining at this quaint restaurant. My husband and I are so impressed with the outstanding food. The presentation is amazing and the taste is out of this world great. Special thanks to the entire staff for their cheerful and pleasant attention, they made us feel right at home. Ashley and Gabriel were the best. We will definitely be back.

The Gem of St.Augustine, by far the best dining experience I have ever had. Every single bite was pure perfection and the table service was outstanding. Every dish has a beautiful and unique story and I guarantee you that you will have a one of a kind dining experience.

We were visiting from Michigan and made the Llama a priority on our list. I’m so glad we did! It’s small, but intimate and works so well. The staff was incredible; it might sound cliche but they felt like friends immediately. The food was amazing, even though it might feel outside your comfort zone. Definitely recommended and if we return to St Augustine, we’ll be back!

“Every. Single. Time. They nail it.”That’s what my husband and I exclaimed as we settled back into our car for our drive back to Jacksonville after dinning Monday night. Llama just crushes it.My husband and I have been dining at Llama every year for the last 3-4 years for every significant celebration in our lives: college graduation, engagement season, getting married, first big job, new jobs, birthdays, and wedding anniversaries. How truly special do know our most cherished life memories and celebrations, are always celebrated around the most delectable and extravagant meals in NE Florida.Since we have been dinning at Llama, we have only ever had Gabriel serve our tables. What a treat to check in, see a familiar face, and ask about life when we see him at dinner. On our most recent dinning experience, he treated us to a bottle of finely recommended wine himself. Words cannot express how much joy we have making a reservation at Llama- knowing we will receive world-class hospitality from a world-class dinning establishment. Llama is truly so fortunate to have a staff member who cares about their guest, more than just as much “do you like the food”.When you dine at Llama, you’ll be delightfully surprised in every way.

Tallarines Verdes with hanger steak and Mar Y Tierra. Both were amazing and a good portion size. For dessert we had Sacred Valley. It was so delicious that we contemplated ordering a second for the car ride home. If we are back in St. Augustine, we will be coming back to Llama.

What a great experience. Innovative food with extremely well balanced flavors. The spun sugar custard is one of the top three desserts I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend.

Top notch! Worth the reservation! Ceviche was PHENOMENAL! Along with the lamb, skirt steak pasta and the desert..Mmm mmm GREAT!
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening dining at Llama. The ambiance, staff, and food and drink were amazing! We enjoyed beer, wine, ceviche appetizers, and two entrees...the care in preparation and presentation and quality of all dishes was evident and we appreciated it. We would highly recommend eating here if you are in the St Augustine area!

The experience was wonderful. Went for my wife's birthday as we did a year ago and it was just as good as we remembered. If you like lamb you'll love the rack. The deserts are next level!

Fantastic meal, had the octopus and salmon ceviche, which was done to perfection. Followed by the surf and turf for my entree. Ended the meal with their version of campfire stores, fire included.. The other meal was the risotto and gifts from the sea.

I didn't like it. Too much cerviche and not enough other variety. I've traveled in Peru and enjoyed many good meals . This wasn't one of them. The restaurant receives many excellent reviews so someone likes their food at exorbitant prices, just not me. Based on their rating, I don't think they'll miss my business. There are many other restaurants in St Augustine that are really great, I was sad this wasn't one of them.
