20 Best Things to Do in St. Augustine, Florida

"A craft distillery housed in an early-1900s ice factory that offers free tours and tastings, an upstairs bar that playfully honors the building's history by serving cocktails with different types of ice, and a gift shop selling housemade spirits and locally collaborated treats." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Humble Datil Pepper Exclusively Thrives in One Place

"This historic building is a cool stop even without datil dishes, but if you venture to the Ice Plant Bar, don’t miss their legendary Blue Crab Beignets with datil remoulade. I wash mine down with a Rhinestone Cowboy, a blend of bourbon, amaro, pomegranate, hibiscus, mint, muddled sage and lemon, and you guessed it, datil pepper." - Carrie Honaker

3 Best Day Trips from Savannah

"Ice Plant Bar's name is no joke: The bartenders really do hand-carve ice for the drinks. Like all good upscale cocktail dens, this one offers a mix of well-executed classics—think Sazerac, Tom Collins, Old Fashioned—and new drinks, ranging from dark and smoky (e.g., the Burt Reynolds, a rye-based tipple with vermouth, smoked cherry wood, and spiced and chocolate bitters) to bright and herbal (like the Little Red Corvette, a Negroni relative with cranberry, thyme, and lemon). There's a serious food menu too: fried chicken and hoe cakes, a pan-seared fish of the day, and the Minorcan mezze, a beautiful tribute to the culture of the Mediterranean that includes black-eyed pea falafel, tabbouleh with corn and datil peppers, labneh, hummus, pita, and more." - Sam Worley

It is such a neat place to enjoy a farm to table meal! The food was incredible, the service was exceptional, and the drinks were handcrafted. If you have kids, don't let that discourage you from going. We were able to leave our stroller downstairs, and they had a high chair and kids menu available. There is also an outdoor patio. We tried the burger and the Caesar salad, with watermelon lemonade and lavender lemonade to wash it down. 5/5!

No reservations required.Tried the crab beignet, pimento cheese & bread, burger , fish of the day. Everything was well seasoned and delicious made from scratch. Cocktails were great and balanced. Service was attentive. Love the historical aspects of the industrial building. Really enjoy that it’s off the beaten path. If in St. Augustine I recommended this restaurant.

Loved everything about this place! The decor was interesting with a fun atmosphere, and great customer service from Jasmine! My cocktail (Waiting in Vain) was tasty and refreshing. We started by sharing the Lil Gems Caesar…best caesar I have ever had, the olive tapenade made the dish. I loved every part of the Skillet Fried Chicken & Hoecakes! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the hoecakes were so delicious (loved the apricot butter!). My husband also loved the burger and cocktail (Dazed and Confused). Would highly recommend!

Our party of 8 (pescatarians, vegetarian and omnivores) arrived shortly after opening and were seated immediately. The server Emma was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered a large variety of dishes and EVERYTHING was stellar. The pimento with toast was a group favorite, the fish dip with homemade chips was devoured immediately. The shrimp with Carolina midlands is their version of shrimp and grits but the “grits” are made from rice, savory, light and delicious. The Dutch baby was light and beautifully done. My eggwich was tasty, especially the bacon and crispy potatoes. My husband asked for sphere ice and she did it at the table, so cool. We ordered $5 mimosas in a variety of flavors, all great. Literally everything is homemade including the ice. Go! Enjoy!

Service was amazing, I think the food menu need more description . Food flavor and texture was adequate for the price range , you are paying for a limited menu in a historic site (it is so pretty by the way) if you go early enough do the destilería tour. The drink was flavor forward and not spirit forward. The expresso martini was flavorful and the mule was 69% ginger beer 25% ice then the alcohol (not measure mathematics lol) If you have that in mind this is a pretty place to have an afternoon with friends.

My favorite place is St Augustine. Came back to do brunch and it didn't disappoint. The little switch on the eggs Benedict were superb.

Last month, I took my mom out for our monthly mother-daughter outing (we try to do one every month!), and we ended up at The Ice Plant in St. Augustine. I was just driving around Old St. Augustine looking for a brunch spot and decided to give this place a try--and I'm so glad we did. It's definitely a popular spot--we were told a 35-minute wait, but we got seated in about 25. You take this cool little elevator up to the second floor where the dining area is, and the vibe is just amazing. It has this old-school, vintage industrial feel, with ice tools and decor from back in the day. Apparently, the building actually used to be a real ice plant where they made and delivered ice--such a cool bit of history. My mom ordered the pineapple upside-down pancake, which she loved. There wasn't anything vegan on the menu for me at first, but the waitress went out of her way to ask the kitchen if they could make something--and they whipped up an avocado toast that was delicious. I was so grateful they took the time to accommodate me instead of just saying no. Little things like that really make a difference! Oh--and the drinks were amazing too. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. 10/10 for the food, the service, the vibe, and just the whole experience.

I've had several "oh no's" to this review.. not quite sure why. The only thing I can think of is that people didn't like the fact that I ENJOYED the fact that the bartenders and severs had a GREAT time working together. I stand by my review. If you see people enjoying their job AND providing AMAZING service and have a problem with that, that's weird. Unless I'm missing something because I'm not local. But for me, we had a great time!

We had brunch here and it was fantastic! The interior is nice with plenty of seating. We started with Bloody Mary and a cider for my husband. They have an array of different cocktails to choose from, nice bar area too! For the main entrees, we both enjoyed our orders. House made pappardelle pasta and Braised Beef Cheek Sugo was the standout! Rich, savory, and perfectly al dente. The Half Pound Ice Plant Burger was equally impressive, it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. However, it would be even better if they accepted reservations, as our group of ten friends often dines out together.

On our way back down to the treasure coast, we decided to stop for late lunch in historic St. Augustine. Ice Plant popped up on our search and the menu, cocktails and vibes looked intriguing. There is dedicated parking which is a plus! We were seated promptly and loved the open layout and seating variety on the second floor. We sat in a 2 people booth/chair combo. Emma is a wonderful server, she had the best recs and alternatives to consider! Drinks and food were delicious We got the crab beignets with a remoulade sauce- the outside batter was crispy and gave tempura batter vibes I got the chicken, grits and hoecakes with the Apricot butter (super dangerous and melt in yo mouth yummy). Hubs got the fresh catch sandwich with swordfish and got the buns on the side. Also very good and cooked to perfection I ended up getting hotsauce for the chicken and bought a bottle to go - really liked the flavor of the datil pepper! Afterwards we went down to the first floor. You can get a tour of the distillery (which includes 4 drinks) and browse the gift shop for unique gifts and memorabilia. So glad we stopped in!

Wow. We haven't stepped foot in this place since it opened. We were in town for a concert so wanted to check it out for a cocktail. First of all this place is beautiful, I absolutely love the bathrooms and the waitress was incredible. I didn't know what drink to get so she walked through what she thought I might like. Even though they have a small menu I feel like they just do it right. We got the blue crab beignets and the pimento cheese with bread.... I mean they sound super simple right? How could I be head over heels for these two dishes? Well I am. I'll dream about them until I can eat it again!

I went to the Ice Plant last weekend and it did not disappoint! It's great to see that even a year later they have remained consistent! The food was delicious, service was amazing, and the ambiance is great as always. My group had the crab beignets which is one of my favorites! It was still delicious and full of crab meat! We also tried the truffle Parmesan fries and they were delicious! On my last visit I had the fried chicken but this time I tried the gochujang pork chop which was a new item and it was out of this world! It was packed with flavor and spicy which I liked, it paired well with the potatoes. The portion size was big so I had leftovers. The rest of my group had the fried chicken and the local fish which was the Cobia. They all enjoyed their meals. I had a cocktail which was refreshing.

Kinda good A.

Yelp
Honestly deserves its rating. Ambience is great. Service is great. Food is great. Side note: If you're a millennial you'll love the fact that all of the servers are dressed in a button down and suspenders as if they're part of a wedding in the 2010s. Final score 4.7

My wife and I ate here a couple days ago for lunch after touring the Distillery. The menu is very limited but what we had was great. I had a burger and my wife had a shrimp roll. Our server Destiny M. was great. It is a simple small room with wood tables and bar. Very nice place.

Such a unique restaurant located near the historic district of st. Augustine with delicious food. Such a great atmosphere to socialize and the food was so fresh. The ceviche was the best starter and the fish of the evening was flaky, crispy skin and sat on a flavorful broth. If you're looking to try something new and refreshing with great drinks, service and environment then this is the place to check out.

After a fun tour downstairs of St. Augustine Distillery I was surprised to find this fantastic restaurant atop this old building. Kevin offered excellent service and suggestions, I enjoyed his recommendations from beverages to lunch. Mushroom soup is savory and delicious. The shrimp and grits with steak cubes is out of this world!! Creamy complex flavors, plenty of shrimp and steak cubes, herbs and tomato, capers all blended made this a must try entree. So yum!! Great atmosphere in the high ceilings and spaces they created dividing up the large upper floor. Well done! I'll be back again for more!!

This place is the epitome of doing a small menu amazingly. The drinks were perfect. We had the crab beignets which were delicious. Three of us had the burger, one had the fish sandwich. The burger was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. The fish sandwich was huge and delicious. Don't miss this place.

We ordered the pimento cheese which was fantastic and set the bar high to start. Home made bread was great. My wife had the Dutch oven pbj pancake. She liked it but I was not a huge fan. It was more like a cake and very thick. I thought it would have more of the pbj flavor but the lemon was heavy. I ordered a burger medium with fries. Came out well done with peppers and potatoes and spring mix on it. I am not a fan of wilted spring mix or well done meat and expected fries. I swapped this out for a shrimp roll. I don't recall it saying this was cold... to me, pretty bland. Very unexciting. I wouldn't be a repeat customer with this menu. (Brunch menu) Pictures were after since I forgot to take before we ate except the pimento.

The Ice Plant was recommended to us as a popular spot for locals in St. Augustine. It was really cool to learn about the building's history, and I highly recommend going on the free self-guided distillery tour adjacent to the restaurant. I think it's so cool that it's a from scratch kitchen, including their ice! Our server was really kind and offered some great recs. We started off with the blue crab beignets which I thought were absolutely delicious! Packed with crab and they go really well with a squeeze of lemon. The datil remoulade was great (basically a tartar sauce). They are very rich, so we each only ate one. We also got the fried chicken with hoecakes and collard greens. I loved the collard greens which were flavored with a smokey bacon. The fried chicken was a bit dry and some parts of the breading tasted burnt. The hoecakes were also surprisingly dry though they had good flavor. The apricot butter was delicious, and I also enjoyed the gravy. Overall, I just wasn't blown away by the fried chicken dish which I thought would be a hit. I would have given this place a 4 easily, if not for that dish.

I'm happy we finally got to see experience this place as our friends said we would love it and that we did! I love that this place is farm to table so everything is fresh. Also, I love the ambiance of this place, it's really industrial but has low lighting for a romantic date night which I loved. When you first arrive, there are stairs that you walk up to lead you to the restaurant which it's very open and spacious-2 bars on each side of the restaurant with seating on both sides. The bar I liked because it wasn't too close to the main seating area so if you couldn't find an area at the bar there is lots of room to stand and not be in the way of others. As we waited, I got a drink-forgot the name but it was strong and good. They don't skimp on the liquor. Once we were seated, our friends recommended to get the blue crab beignets and we got the truffle fries, OMG both were delicious especially the beignets-I definitely want to go back just for those! As for my entree, I got the catch of the day which was the corbia and it was delicious. You can taste every bit of how fresh and seasoned the fish and all the components were! It was super filling too. My husband got the fried chicken and hoecakes and he absolutely LOVED his and couldn't finish it all. This is definitely a place worth trying and keeping in rotation every time we come to St. Augustine. We definitely will be back this place has good vibes, good drinks and bomb food!

This will be our fourth time there over the past ten years and we're never dissapointed. One of the most memorable things about the Ice Plant is the creativity behind the scenes to concoct some amazing dishes. From our first experience I'll never forget their Watermelon and Jalapeno salad. Who would think to combine these two main ingredients? Awesome. This visit we had the opportunity to enjoy a Shrimp & Carolina Gold Middlins dish which was buttery heaven. Smooth and silky grits, basically, but melt in your mouth perfect. Our second dish was the Duroc Pork Chop which was equally as great. The chop itself was moist and tender, accompanied by brussel sprouts drizzled by a black garlic balsami, next to some pickled fennel and roasted acorn squash. While waiting for our table we had the chance to watch two square blocks of ice get melted down to crystal clear orbs that cooled our bourbon. Delightful, I have to admit!! If you've never been there, treat yourself. You will not be dissapointed!

The last time we were in town, we did not stop in here to have lunch after our distillery tour as we had other plans. So this go around we made it a point to stop for lunch. Our bartender Germaine was incredibly friendly, even sat down and wrote down out a list of places to check out in the area! Great customer service! He truly made our meal experience wonderful! we opted for the steak sandwich as well as the fried chicken with hoe cakes and collard greens. By far, these were amazing meals! We would definitely order them again. We also opted for their handcrafted sodas. I got the cherry cola, which was perfect not overly sweet and my husband opted for their ginger cola, which is absolutely amazing! Fresh ginger, lime was soda. can't get much fresher than that. Love the vibe and the ambience of this location definitely takes you back! We also love that even though it's a restaurant/bar they're super focused on their ice and giving you the highest quality ice. From the pebble ice to the gentleman cut ice some of the clearest ice we have ever seen. Truly does enhance your meal.

This place was AMAZING. 10/10 recommend to all friends if you're in St. Augustine. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better! Matteo was our server for brunch and he was superb. He had great suggestions, knowledge of the menu, and some history tidbits to share. Get the eggs Benedict because that sausage, egg, and kimchi mix was incomparable. The steak sandwich was also delish and cooked perfectly. If you're just there for drinks I highly recommend anything off their housemate menu as those are all made from scratch. The mule was my favorite and I typically am not a fan because of ginger beer, but with the house made ginger it was SO GOOD.

Came here after our tour of the distillery. They are located just upstairs and offer craft cocktails and food. We didn't get any of the food as we ate before starting the distillery tour but did get a round of drinks. The bartenders were friendly and the restaurant had some nice decor. Worth the stop for a drink if you are doing a tour.

Checked this place out on a Friday at 1130. We were seated immediately. There were prob 4 people in there when we arrived and more like 20 when we left. We ordered the avocado toast, the Ban Me (not sure how to spell) sliders and the Parmesan truffle fries. Everything was full of flavor, came out the perfect temp and was good by the end of the meal. Casual to cocktail feel. Definitely a spot to check out for drinks! Good for groups or a fun date night!

. This was our first visit to this place, and we were immediately impressed by the laid-back atmosphere. They had left the iron beams from the building's past as an ice plant intact, which added to the unique charm of the restaurant. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food was deliciously seasoned to perfection.

Sadly, I really wanted to give this place a rave review, but the way things were handled, I would have given it 0 stars. We had decided to dine for brunch. Menu looked nice, drinks good, venue vibe was cool, host Trip was friendly, etc. I have a unique allergy and asked the server for a manager or kitchen staff(to take that off of the server's plate as allergies shouldn't be the server's responsibility). The Chef came out, gave us a quick rundown of what was safe, made a few suggestions, and as he was leaving we asked a question about a menu item for my mom. It happened to he about the Dutch Baby. The Chef said it's a traditional DB and that she would love it. The server returned, took our order, my mother opted for the DB(the server reiterated that it was eggy and as big as a cake). We waited for quite some time(which was fine). Our meals arrive and immediately it is noticeable that the Dutch Baby is an actual cake...not a Dutch Baby. My mom decides she was hungry enough, and would "just eat it". She took a bite out of it(was supposed to be PB&J with brown butter and banana). She immediately spit it out. It was quite bitter. The server came over to check on us and my mother told her she didn't like it. The server questioned if she was being serious and she repeated that it was beyond bitter and she wasn't going to be able to eat it. The server removed it and the manager(Alan...who is apparently the GM as he told us) was very aggressive with both her and I. He stayed that his staff took a long time to figure out "all of the issues with allergies"(maybe a 20 second conversation). It had nothing to do with my mother. He actually scoffed when she said it wasn't what she expected how it was described. He again got very defensive and restated that they spent "a lot of time dealing with things". He walked away mid-sentence. He then returned a few minutes later saying he was removing her item from the check(which according to him they don't do). She had less than a bite. As she was trying to explain to him what she had been told he started to talk over her. I then said that she was trying to explain something to him and he wasn't hearing her(she is also half deaf and he was not taking the time to focus). I also had asked him why my sandwich was served with potatoes if it wasn't mentioned on the menu and he told me it wasn't his issue. He then got snooty and started to laugh. He then questioned where we had been before we went here(I had mentioned to the server we had an issue with a restaurant this am with my allergies). He was DEMANDING me to tell him where we went and what the issue was. Sadly, as after he walked away laughing, we were done. We paid the bill(and left the server a nice tip). Neither of them came back(I was waiting for a bag for my to-go items). Just be aware that the food takes some liberties, but the GM takes disrespect to a whole other level with their customer base.

After the distillery tour, we decided to stop at the ice plant for a couple drinks. The place was very cool and spacious. Lots of seats, inside and out. The bartenders were very nice and offered different recommendations. We grabbed our drinks and a seat out on the balcony. The drinks were both very good and flavorful! They had food there too but we didn't eat this time (although it looked good!)

This place doesn't need my review. It is a unique setting, and excellent restaurant and a fabulous bar with true mixologists. It is a pricey restaurant. The service is excellent, the food is tasty and the setting is unique, although the menu is pretty limited and not a particular value. The setting is inside an actual Ice Plant that operated since 1927 producing ice for the populace, businesses and shrimp boats. One side of the building is the Ice Plant Bar and Restaurant and the other is the St. Augustine Distillery. You feel like you're walking into an old factory building, greeted promptly and taken upstairs for seating. Pretty cool environment well worth checking. The bar is amazing. This is a fine place to come for drinks, special occasions, or to just hang out. Unique drinks, three different kinds of ice and house syrups and mixes are delicious, interesting and just plain fun. The food is good. Pricey . . . but good. I felt the choices were limited, but what was there was delicious. Servings are reasonable but not huge. I particularly like the smoked fish dip ($18) and loved the Blue Crab Beignets ($24). I could eat these two dishes all darn day, but I'm not sure my cardiologist would approve. The pappardelle and braised beef cheek sugo was delicious (although I thought a little small for $24), the arugula salad was fresh and tasty although for $18 I thought a little small as well. We tried several other menu items and everything was fresh, flavorful and brought to the table timely. Service was excellent, informative without being intrusive. We'd go back for a unique or special occasion or to hang at the bar. Overall, a fun experience.

When you get recommended a place by friends, you usually go in with high expectations--which, more often than not, aren't met. The Ice Plant not only met but exceeded them in every way. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was welcoming, and the drinks and food were top-notch. This is not just a bar--it's an experience. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted and served over custom-cut ice they prepare daily. A friend asked for a custom sangria, and the bartenders didn't hesitate to whip up something delicious. The bar team here knows their craft and is happy to create whatever you throw at them. Smoked Local Fish Dip - Served with Old Bay kettle chips and house-made pickles, this was an incredible start. The chips were crisp and well-seasoned, and the pickles were a perfect pairing. House-Made Pimento Cheese - Soft, garlicky toast paired with Guava-Datil jelly gave this dish an unexpected but amazing balance of sweet and savory. Local Fish Sandwich - A massive, perfectly cooked piece of fresh daily catch, lightly dressed so the true flavor of the fish shines through. Served with pickled green tomato, lil gems, and datil remoulade on a brioche bun. Simple, fresh, and flavorful. Fernandina Rock Shrimp Roll - A Maine-style roll with lemon, mayo, and chives on a buttery split-top brioche bun. The portion was generous, and the shrimp was fresh and tender. Skillet Fried Chicken & Hoecakes - Served with collard greens, sawmill gravy, and apricot butter, this was Southern comfort food at its finest. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. If you're in St. Augustine, The Ice Plant is a must-visit. Whether you're there for craft cocktails, fresh seafood, or an unbeatable atmosphere, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

Favorite restaurant to visit when we come to St Augustine. This year, I got to bottle my own whiskey! Downstairs, there is a distillery you can tour and a gift shop. The restaurant is upstairs with plenty of air conditioned seating and a bar. Service is always quick and the menu is very succinct. I ordered the mule and the 1/2 lb ice plant burger . The mule is outstanding and the burger is cooked to request and seasoned well. After lunch, wife took me to the distillery to bottle my own bottle of 6 year old whiskey. They walk you through the entire process: filling the bottle, filling out the label and customizing with your info, and corking the bottle, It's not cheap, but definitely a cool experience!

6.5 Stars!!! Fantastic in every regards! Me and my gf stopped by one night after not being able to get a table at St. Augustine Fish Camp. I am so glad we did too because I literally had the best app of my entire life here. We ordered: - CIGAR CITY JAI ALAI IPA for me (Tasty) - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO for her (Delish) - BLUE CRAB BEIGNETS (HANDS DOWN THE BEST APP IN AMERICA) - HOUSE MADE PIMENTO CHEESE (Very Good) I had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a reason. I can't say enough about this place because everything about it screams five stars. The interior is romantic and beautiful. It has a great little bar, plus the outside patio area is great. The building itself welcomes you from afar. I cannot wait to return and try more of their food and drinks. I love this place! Enjoy :D

Why did I not know about this place!? I have to credit seeing this listed on the 2025 Top 25 Places to Eat list for Jax. When I arrived, I came just in time for happy hour which starts at 2:30pm and ends at 5pm. Per the Yelp reviews, I knew I needed to try the blue crab beignets. I also glanced over the happy hour cocktail menu and ordered the champagne cocktail. As the beignets came out, immediately I was shook! These were huge and as you cut into them, wow! The beignets were filled with fresh blue crab meat, the dough itself wasn't undercooked at all. It was very soft with that crispy exterior. I couldn't even eat both of them because they were huge and also I wanted to save room for my lunch. I ordered the grilled octopus and chorizo tacos, which my server said was a great choice. I was thrilled when they came out. The grilled octopus had the perfect chewy texture and seasoning. The chorizo had a little bit of a kick and was an interesting pairing with the grilled octopus and sweet pineapples. The plantains were soft on the inside with a perfect crisp on the ends. Overall, the Ice Plant was amazing. From the awesome atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food, I will be returning when I make another day trip to St. Augustine.

Shockingly good breakfast! Got the two-egg special. The bacon is amazing. The service was quick and attentive. The big open space has been used imaginatively for a welcoming restaurant. (This may have been the first time I brought home leftovers from a breakfast order--it was THAT good and THAT plentiful).

It's been a minute since I have been. Let me tell you we were not disappointed! My friend and I started at the upstairs bar as we waited for the remaining party to arrive. Luckily we found 2 seats at the bar and the magic began. As we reviewed the menu we had made our decision. Me= Saltburn. It got me at Tequila and jalapeño. The drink was smooth with a small bite. Although I had hoped for spicer there was no disappointment My Friend = Lolita. A delicious concoction of Vodka,elderflower and Grapefruit. It was beautifully pink! Friends arrived and the drinks kept flowing. We tried Rhinestone Cowboy and some Vodka Martinis. Time for a late lunch. The choices being past Brunch were minimal but oh so satisfying. 2 orders of skillet fried chicken and hoecakes an Ice Plant Burger and a Bistro Steak Sandwich. The food was amazing and the peach butter was Devine but the star was Sarah our waitress. We missed pics of the food as we were deep in conversation when it arrived. If you have not experienced Ice Plant please put it at the top of your list

Great atmosphere, fun setting The burger was made with short ribs and beef brisket. Super moist and flavorful. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Great service Jasmine was an excellent server. Very attentive

We were on a trolley and hungry, so we stopped here and it turned out to be a hidden gem. Easily one of the top 10 food experiences I've ever had. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend the brisket burger--it was incredible!

The ice plant is a really cool designed restaurant and bar. They also have a distillery and you can tour the distillery while you wait for the rest of your party or whenever you're finished. We went for brunch and everything was great! Our waitress was very sweet and provided great recommendations and suggestions. I ended up with the avocado toast with freshly squeezed orange juice...it was delicious! It's slightly in the more expensive end, $19 for avocado toast but it was

We stopped in for a drink and stayed for a few more! Our "mixologists" were incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service. The beverage Menu seems to change frequently, so absolutely worth the repeat business!

I've never had a bad meal here, and we've eaten here, probably 40 times! LOVE the crab beignets! That's a must each time we come.

Wish I took more photos! This place was amazing 7 years ago when I lived here and my first time back in a long time and it's just as I remember. Got the fish dip -- hasn't changed im so glad because it's my favorite. I got the fish dinner which was flounder and it had a Devine curry sauce. I highly recommend checking it out

It's "all right place" I had a burger cooked well done, instead of medium. The famous lemonades is too sweet. Service is alright too
