Tried to go, sign and menu were down. Place looks permanently closed. May just be down for work but they didn't bother to update their website or google.
I wanted to love it. We arrived and sat at a 2 seater at the front left corner of the restaurant. When the A/C came on, a terrible odor filled the air, not sure where it came from, but it was not pleasant. We ordered a Bloody Mary and Mimosa, a single waffle and a side of breakfast potatoes. The drinks arrived in somewhat smaller glassware than anticipated. The Mr. said the Bloody Mary was very weak and questioned whether there was any alcohol in it while the Mimosa was adequate.After 25 minutes, we asked the hostess to check on our order (our server was also the bartender and nowhere in sight) and to cancel if it wasn't started. A few minutes later she delivered the order and said it had been sitting there a while as it had been forgotten. The waffle was semi warm, the potatoes were unedible and spongy.It's nice to find a new good place, this was not it.
Collin our server was actually the only one working. The others just stood around. I asked a waitress for a coffee refill and she said we weren’t her table and walked off. A terrible way to treat customers. And on top of it she laughed. Terrible-Just terrible! This place needs new management or close their doors if they want any repeat business. I’ll never go back!
We wanted to try something new around town on 2/5/23 and decided brunch would be an awesome time. We were pleasantly greeted and sat without any wait. Our waitress was very nice. However, the service was very slow, and it took some time to have our order taken, weren't checked on during our meal, and we had to flag our waitress down after to get/pay our check.While we were waiting for our food, I witnessed the bartender drop the drink strainer into a glass, pick it out with his bare hands, and then proceed to pour more mixer in and serve the drink. Unfortunately, this put us off to ordering any more drinks due to the potential health issue.When the food came out, it not only looked very good but tasted amazing. All of us enjoyed our food (especially the potatoes) and ate every bit of our meals.Overall, we will give this location another try on a future date. However, I hope that the bartender is given lessons on food safety. Re-making one drink is worth the extra time versus the cost of the ingredients. The food is definitely worth it!
We just came in for an appetizer and some drinks. The baked Brie was decent however we were told it had blackberries honey and walnuts and that’s what made up our mind to get it…that was not the fruit we got…so a little disappointed there. The adult Capri Sun was fun.
First time visiting with out of town guests. Enjoyed appetizers and drinks. Casual dining country atmosphere with limited menu. Quality was excellent. I will return! In the meantime, enjoy the charcuterie or the shrimp and grits!
Parking: San Marco Blvd. can be bsy at times. Evening view of parking entrance is limited.
This place was pretty good. The hash with short ribs was very good, short rib shredded up perfectly, the hash aspect was delicious and a nice portion. The Johnny cake and chicken was mediocre. The chicken was good but it just seemed like a lot of syrup over powered what was there. The syrup may have been necessary though because of how dry the Johnnycake was. I think I may have given this a 5 star if I had ordered something else. If the johnnycakes always come out that way they should remove it from the menu or alter the recipe. Ambiance was nice a simple, I can roll with their pig theme.
Loved our brunch here. Fun mimosa flavors and lots of menu options. Service was friendly and helpful. Fun spot for a quick bite or more leisurely meal.
Elevated comfort food. The loaded chips - oh my goodness! Pig Benedict & Skillet Mac were ridiculous. Our young adult couple had just completed a 5K so no guilt going all in. Truly a food guilty pleasure with absolutely no regrets! Only complaint - very noisy.
This is a great place for Sunday brunch. Food is great and the drinks are good too. Love coming here and then walking around St Augustine.

The service was great! Super friendly! Loved the atmosphere as well! Get the tower mimosa, it won’t disappoint. The chicken and Johnny was delicious and of course we couldn’t leave without getting the egg Benedict with pulled pork. A must try if you’re in town!!
Loved the Watermelon mimosa (the tower looked amazing too - next time) and cinnamon apple “caprisun”. Enjoyed the pig Benedict + chicken & Johnny cakes.
Delicious food! Probably some of the best French toast I’ve ever had! I would recommend coming here and trying it out!Service was a little slow, but overall had a lovely time as the staff was friendly.
Excellent food~ will definitely go again when in St Augustine.
Enjoyed my time here! Waitress was very attentive. Atmosphere was cozy! Outside eating area is dog friendly.
