Restaurants near Pelican Landing by Vacation Rental Pros

It was Christmas Day let’s begin there. I made a reservation 1 month ago and as we checked in I sat down by the door. It was a revolving door droves of ppl kept coming in I guess to ck to see if they could get a table. I heard them say there is no availability until Jan6 so I would see those ppl that just asked leave. But it never stopped. More people lots of people kept coming in without reservations? Why didn’t you just put a sign up saying if you don’t have a reservation there are none available at this time. What I did see is wowwww your staff is amazing your servers are like no other I have ever seen. They all need a raise if you base on performance for just that day alone give them all a raise. They never missed a step regardless of how crowded it was especially upstairs by the bar where people were waiting behind people that were seated at the bar. They were like vultures waiting for the people who were sitting waiting to make a move. And I observed the ones standing at the bar waiting are alllll in the way of your servers trying to get the food that is on their big tray to the customers. It is an accident waiting to happen. All in all I had an amazing dinner, my server Tracylynn was amazing and even though it was very busy it didn’t take away from the delicious food we had.

Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back.

My husband & I had the eggplant parmesan & it was delicious. The portion was so large we brought some of it home. It was a limited menu but this was exactly what we were looking for. We made our reservation late & had to be seated in the bar. We had a cozy table & excellent service. We have been coming to this restaurant for years.

The service was top-notch!!!! I love Harvest & Reel, I only wish they had more vegetarian options.

Our party was a little early for our reservation, however we were seated immediately. We were given light-up holiday hats for everyone in the party because we made a reservation online. So cool! The ambiance was lovely, all decorated for Christmas, a cool little bar, and awesome holiday themed cocktails. The waiter was very attentive. Amazing food! Get the burger! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The shrimp bisque was also quite good. My only negative is the price, but I’d rather spend $150 for a meal that supports a small business, with quality hand-crafted food than pay the same for a chain restaurant of the same predictable menu items. We love St. Augustine and come up every December for Night of Lights. We hope to visit Forgotten Tonic again next year!
