5 /5 Matt M: Easily one of the best meals I have had in the last twelve months.
Food 10/10
Ambiance - 9/10, nice casual vibe
Service - 9/10 (Our server Abby was amazing and how can you not fall in love with her Southern accent.)
This has been on my “need to try” this for sometime, for a life of me I can’t understand why haven’t been. The food was fabulous, absolutely fabulous and there was not a dish that we didn’t love.
The location is down by the shipyards, which is not the center of town or near St. George Street which in my mind are good things. I prefer to be out of the tourist areas of Saint Augustine, so this was my jam. Parking less easy in a private lot, our table is ready on time, but probably the hardest thing was making sure to get a reservation well ahead of time. So don’t be like me and make the times to try this fantastic restaurant.
Enough about my comments, you really wanna know about the food, right?
Focaccia bread, Service - fabulous, crisp exterior, soft chewy interior.
Focaccia Brea and queso - I preferred this version, the queso added so much depth of flavor. Less bread, for sure but so worth it.
Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad - are you freaking kidding me, this is one of the best salads I’ve ever had. Fresh arugula, paired with roasted beets, goat cheese, and a small red sweet peppers. I cannot do it justice so JUST ORDER IT.
Baked potato - loaded baked potato was HUGE, not sure I liked the spicy beans on top but everything else was tasty.
Green beans - perfectly prepared, delicious.
Asado Trio - great way to sample their chicken thighs (fabulous), steak Picahna (fabulous) and chorizo (spicy) and no one was disappointed.
Prime Rib - they warned me it comes out rare, but parts of mine were raw. Great flavor on the outside, and the horeseradish sauce was spectacular but the meat fell short of my expectations.
Key Lime Pie - EXCEPTIONAL.
Espresso Cake - maybe avoid this one, not very popular at our table.
Olive Oil Cske - dense pound cake taste, really good
There were three meats that stood out at our table for their spice run/marinade:
- chicken thighs
- steak Picahna
- outside of the prime rib
So if you want to hit highlights, make sure you order them and share a bit, it is that kind of place.
Dress is casual, do you will see hoodies, dresses, blazers, polos - well, you get the idea.
