   Reserved dining for the four course valentines meal. They were out of the steak and substituted for another. For the price point and what was offered on the menu was just okay. Service was great and the server did a good job. I feel if being charged a premium for a premium dinner, should have offered a better menu and have what was on the menu. Quiet dinner and nice atmosphere. Would go there again to give it a second shot but not for a dining experience with a small curated menu of two options.

   The staff and location are wondeful. We have been here before for a regular dinner night out and everything was amazing. I decided to get a reservation for the Valentines day four course menu priced at $125 per person. The 1st course was a small but very good puff pastry. 2nd course was either salad or lobster bisque. Lobster bisque was awesome, salad was nothing special. We both got the prime rib eye medium rare and it was disappointing. It was closer to rare, under seasoned and room temperature. It came with asparagus and potatoes which were cooked well but pretty bland. Finally, shared desert that was supposed to be mousse and pana cotta but was more like pudding and spoon full of whipped cream. For a $300 dinner it was very disappointing.

   Service was fast, waiter was respectful. Food, however, was not worth what I paid.

   We selected this restaurant to celebrate a good friend’s 70th birthday. The experience exceeded our expectations. The service was stellar( our server answered our questions patiently and with care, and steered us to terrific choices from mocktails to dessert). Each dish was impeccably prepared and delicious , the room was lovely and we’d return to st Augustine just to eat there .

   The service was slow. The team seemed unorganized and stressed. Maybe there was a shortage of servers? The men seating people also seemed unorganized. The food was very good.
