The staff were incredibly pleasant, and the food was amazing. We started with the garlic shrimp appetizer and enjoyed sirloin steaks as our main course. The vaulted calves and butternut bisque were also unique and delicious. While waiting to be seated, we noticed several returning customers, which made us confident that we were in for a wonderful experience.

Little out of the way on the very south end of St. Augustine but that does take you out of the main tourist part of town.

Definitely worth a try if you have a chance.

The lobster bisque was a good but you could tell it was just a thickener added to vegetable soup, and it clearly wasn't lobster. It was either scallop orcrab meat. Staff was friendly, but the place needs some kind of sound dampening.
