    Forgotten Tonic is an absolute gem! From the cozy, inviting atmosphere to the exceptional service, everything about our experience was top-notch. The food was easily a 5/5—I had the pork chop, and it was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The creamiest mashed potatoes complemented it beautifully, making every bite pure comfort. The cocktails were just as impressive, and the overall vibe made for a perfect evening. Whether you’re a local or just visiting St. Augustine, this place is a must-try. Can’t wait to come back
    Forgotten TonicResponded 3 days ago
    Liz, this absolutely made our day! We’re so glad you loved the cozy vibe, exceptional hospitality, and of course, that perfectly cooked pork chop. Those creamy mashed potatoes really do make every bite better! And we love that our cocktails hit the mark too. Thanks for the glowing recommendation—can’t wait to have you back for another unforgettable night on historic Aviles Street!
