I had dinner here with a large Meetup group two days ago. I ordered the Crispy Calamari Salad ($21). It was OK, but for the money they could have added more calamari to the bed of greens. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is chic and modern. read more

Absolutely delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Been here many times and it never disappoints, dinner is always top-notch!

Pretty Disappointed, this place came strongly recommended for their French cuisine. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and seated in the bar, we were not asked if we wanted dining room or bar. We were quickly brought water. The wait staff was in a wine tasting so little effort was made to engage with us. After waiting quite a while for someone to come over my friend stood up to go to the bar for drinks. That is when we were finally greeted by a server. She ordered a Margarita l asked for a Bloody Mary, the server asked if l wanted spicy or not, l said not, it was very spicy and l could not drink it. We ordered an appetizers we were only given the happy hour bar menu, the Calamari, it was good, better than most restaurants. We both had a glass of Malbec, it was delicious! We had high hopes for dinner. My friend ordered the pork I ordered the Sweetbreads and steak dish that was described by the waiter. My friend liked the pork dish. I on the other hand, was served another dish that l did not order, it was cold, tough, raw and had poor flavor, l took only one bite and set it to the side. I was asked if l wanted something else, l declined and ordered dessert, the chocolate cake, it was good, we shared it. I included the receipt. Unsure what the TLC. Charge was for? I think the happy hour Calamari was a lower price on the menu, and certainly the online menus need to be updated. Would l go back? Maybe, it is a cute trendy looking place.l, great food would be a good addition. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a friend's birthday dinner. We ordered oysters, steak, and some cocktails. The food was good, but nothing really stood out. The restaurant is located in the Mercado District, which is a very cute plaza of shops and restaurants. Perfect to go to on a date night. Would love to try this restaurant again and try something different. read more

I can't say I would really recommend this place, I would give 3 stars for the food but 5 stars for the service. I have to give an honest rating for the food alone, and my rating would be higher if the prices were lower. Our server today was extremely attentive considering they were understaffed, as service was really slow. I didn't catch his name but he was very friendly and accommodating to one of my friends who is gluten free and explained each part of the menu, and even came back out to warn her that the fries were cooked in the same frier as gluten foods. The quality of the food was good but the prices are too high for what you get imo. Very high for lunch prices, and although the portions were decent, the dishes were not memorable. I had the butternut squash panazella salad which I wouldn't order again but not terrible. I think the ratio of squash and salad to bread could have been better, it was just giant blocks of bread/croutons with veggies sprinkled on. My friends all got sandwiches which were subpar, minimal ingredients. The fries were good and they do have a really rich house made ranch. For the price and presentation I don't think this is worth it, I'd have it again if it was out of convenience since it's in a nice patio space. read more

I've been here a few times for work dinners and decided to come while I'm in town with my partner. The atmosphere is great here. Big space but feels intimate at your tables. Love the plaza and the old school Spanish feel. We had the bread board and olives to start. Bread is local and the olives were amazing. To drink I had a dirty martini and she had a glass of sparkling rosé. Main course I had the Ny strip and she has the chicken dish. Both were pretty good! Service was also great! We had a party to get to so our server made sure we were out on time. Overall, I'd recommend this as a date night spot. read more

My fiance and I went here to scope out the place for a possible wedding reception. We wanted to get a vibe and feel of the place before booking an appointment with the event planner. We arrived and it looked like there were plenty of empty tables, but yet we were told we had a 30 minute wait. Ok, no problem, we went to the bar. They didn't have the beer I ordered off the drink menu, so I had to choose another. After about 45 minutes, we still hadn't gotten the "table is ready" text, so we asked the hostess about it. Apparently we had been taken off the wait list because we were waiting at the bar. Very strange, but OK. Half the dining room was still empty, so we headed toward the nearest table. We were stopped and told we couldn't have that table - OK, no problem. We took a different table and waited for a server to take our order. At this point, it had been an hour since we arrived at the restaurant, when finally someone took our order and brought us drinks. They didn't have the entree I ordered off the menu, so I had to choose another. I think they were very understaffed, because we only ever saw one server on the floor and it took quite a while to get drink refills. Not the server's fault at all. Our soup arrived, but it was more like marinara sauce. I took a photo because it was quite funny and not at all like soup. The soup was supposed to come with bread, which it didn't, so we asked for the bread (and later got charged for it!). The rest of the food was amazing, but with all the issues listed above, we can't imagine having our wedding reception here. The dining room was still half empty, yet we were forced to sit in one specific spot. Very strange experience all around. read more

It is rare that any place gets a one star review from me. I generally can overlook poor service, or the kitchen having an off night, and try to find some positive reason to give the place a second chance. Unfortunately for Agustin kitchen I was unable to do that. The service was probably the worst I have experienced in a very long time. We were seated in the courtyard at a small table, and forgotten. I understand things happen, so around 25 minutes after being seated with no service we went and asked. The hostess apologized and said a server would be right out. 15 more minutes pass and just as we are going to leave our waitress came to the table and took our drink order. 10 more minutes after that she returned with our drinks. We decided we were committed at this point and ordered our food. I had the AK burger (listed as a house specialty) and my counterpart ordered salmon. Queue another absurdly long waiting period they brought out my burger but had forgotten to put in the fish order. So we ordered it again. Mind you in all this time we had not even gotten our drinks refilled. Then to top it all off when the fish arrived (well after I was done with my burger) it was the wrong dish. Not a mistake in how it was ordered, but a completely separate menu item that we did not order. We were for the third time profusely apologized to and told that they would go back to the kitchen right away, but we declined and asked for our check. For our "unique" experience I was treated to a near 3 figure bill. My AK burger, not worth what I paid for it by a long shot. Unfortunately I would not come back and based off of other reviews in the past few months it doesn't appear I am alone. I certainly hope for the owners sake they can get it together. read more

There are a lot of five-star qualities about this restaurant, including the professional open-view kitchen, the seasonal menu, the courtyard seating, and the prime downtown location. Service had a few bobbles, and while a few immediate needs were not apparent to the server, requests for cutlery, share plates, etc., were all met quickly. The rillette was served frozen, which was a miss, but several other dishes were exceptional, including the confit chicken and forest mushrooms, and the beer/wine list holds interesting offerings not common elsewhere. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

Ambiance, great. Drinks, great. Service, okay. Food BLAND. The food was so bland. We were wishing there was salt and pepper on the table. I will say, I got the char, and it was good, but the chicken, the cippiono, the salads, the jackfruit, SO BLAND. read more

Augustin Kitchen is a restaurant in a beautiful space that has been struggling to find itself ever since it opened. Chefs come and go, menus are tweaked, and the dissatisfaction remains the same. I so want them to be really good and in tune with the neighborhood, but they are not. I was there on opening day and have been back regularly. I keep hoping they will find themselves and deliver a great neighborhood experience to all, neighbors or not! Presentation: raw beef when asked for medium, burger McDonalds wouldn't have served; "protein " added to a salad, served a few slices of chicken on a plate next to the (tiny) salad. Augustin tries to be an upscale restaurant, upscale prices, for mediocre food and lousy service. Don't bother! Get a drink and get your food at Seis where the food is good. read more

We were a party of 5 ordering drinks and meal prior to a Theatre event we attended and gave ourselves plenty of time for both and mentioned to waitstaff also. The drinks we ordered took 30 minutes to arrive and mine was wrong and sent back. It took 39 more minutes and our meals finally arrived before my drink. Our meals were excellent all around so compliments to chef & staff!!! Service here is miserable and manager briefly visited our table to say she would take 10% off price of my drink only I left no tip. They took the advantage and charged tip regardless I'll never visit again. I ordered a gin martini with lime twist - it came with an olive so sent back - when it came back it still had olive along with lime twist floating in it I didn't send it back again but shouldn't have been expected to pay for it at all!!! read more

I tried this yesterday and thought it was great! Pretty fancy place, but prices weren't too bad. Not a very big menu, but it looked like every plate they came out with was made with great care and attention. I was gonna get the crispy fish sandwich, but I asked and the waiter recommended the turkey Rachel. Their version of a turkey Reuben. It was excellent. Their shoestring fries were very good too. I'm not much of a guy for fancy places, but they're necessary sometimes and when it's time to take some guests somewhere classy, this is definitely gonna be one of my top choices. read more

Not only did we have bad service, afterwards, all kinds of digestive issues. I would go to Seis and write this place off your dining list!

I met my family here for dinner. My experience in the bar while waiting was great. However, being in the dining room when things got busy was a different story altogether. We were a table of five and we waited close to an hour for our entrees. It is possible that this was an "off" night but it was certainly frustrating. read more

This place is featured within a mercado, several restaurants or venues that share a courtyard which is rare but an excellent idea. I was there for a work event and I must say the wait staff want very friendly but attentive. Matthew was our server and as we were a rather big party, people coming and going so all of our bills were separate. I ordered the calamari and garlic frites, took about 20 minutes to come out, if that. I tried the calamari, had other person try the calamari but none of us liked it. It was too soft (I like it fried hard) but it was also Asian inspired so I just couldn't get with the flavors so I sent it back. The garlic frites I devoured! Nothing special about them though. It was a good evening and I'd return just because I liked the atmosphere and to possibly try other items on the menu. There as ample parking as it is near a trolley stop, all free from what I can tell. I didn't go inside the restaurant but it looked quiet and reserved from what I could see from outside. read more

Ridiculous prices for the food. My eggs Benedict, overcooked eggs, $9 bread, give me a break. 4 people for brunch, $125 before tip, just 4 plates, 3 ice teas and 1 drink. Burger was $19, plain simple cheese burger, both eggs Benedict at the table were overcooked and the best part of the meal was tater tots. Good, not great food, not for the price. The $9 mini bread takes the cake. Better and more appropriate prices choices nearby. Service was good, staff pleasant and professional. Its not yhe Ritz, just Ritz prices. read more

It is okay. I think the prices are way high for the food we had. $125 for 3 people to eat lunch. One of us just had water. I had a soda. Only one person had a drink and it was just a shot. I feel like the prices here are way too high and the service is just average. The Mexican restaurant in the same building is 1/3 the cost and better food. Sorry! We have been here two times and it was just okay and very high priced. read more

I love this restaurant and think Agustin Kitchen is a great place to dine if you want to have a special occasion. The waiter was attentive, warm, and friendly. The food was made well with locally sourced food. The atmosphere is really nice in the courtyard. We had the stuffed chicken breast with midnight moon cheese & chorizo stuffed breast roasted fingerlings, chimichurri, and carrots; and the Pan Seared Salmon with nordic blue salmon, haricot verts, beluga lentils charred carrot beurre blanc. For dessert, we had the lemon blueberry cheesecake. The tart of the lemon and the sweet of the blueberry balanced nicely. We will be back! read more

Got in on Friday night, without a reservation, and I know they did us a favor. The food was SUPERB and the service exceptional. Highly recommend the mushroom appetizer and roasted cauliflower.

I came here for lunch and was disappointed. The mussels lacked flavor and the cioppino was sour. The service and ambiance is good but not good enough to offset how bad the food was.

Came here on a Saturday night 6pm with a party of 8. With bigger places, I tend to expect bad service. And, sadly, this was confirmed by the waitress who repeated my order back to me but still forgot to put in my appetizer. The restaurant was not packed with people and there were plenty of empty tables; yet, I didn't feel as if the service was great. It took way too long to order and get the food, our dessert list, or the checks. I ordered the Nogales Fries as my app, Cioppino (sorry for the spelling), and my SO ordered the lamb shank. The Nogales Fries came with a mayo-like dipping sauce and a spicy guacamole dipping sauce. It comes with fries that are breaded vegetables. I think it's a type of pepper but not sure. My Cioppino is a seafood stew that was very tangy and came with grilled shrimp, a scallop, and some octopus. I'm okay with the tang but I needed more flavors in the broth. The seafood was grilled with flavor so I'll give them that. There were also two cheese balls that I did not like. It tasted like it was fried in lamb fat, and I'm not a fan of it. For $32, I was hoping for more food. Compared to Wild Garlic Grill, this place is not as amazing. As for the lamb shank, my SO also said that his lamb shanks had some flavor and is okay but was not amazing either. I ordered the Arnold Palmer drink and my SO ordered their house lemonade. Sadly, neither drink tastes good to me. Lemonade was not sweet enough and purely sour, and Arnold Palmer did not have enough tea or sugar in it. I honestly gives this place is a solid 3.5 stars. read more

With great trepidation, we decided to try this place again after 3 years. Much to our chagrin, it stayed the same. I'm glad we had reservations as the hostess noted at least a 30-minute wait despite the restaurant was half full and I only observed one table with a reserved placard on it. Since we didn't want to take a chance, we had the classic omelet and burger. Omelet was average with red potatoes being bland. We ordered the burger medium, but it came out last medium well. We didn't ask for another one since my son was hungry. He noted it wasn't bad. And we were quickly offered the bill and was not even asked if we needed anything else. We were going to order dessert. In any case, I don't think a return trip is necessary. Service was below sub-par read more

Came here to celebrate an anniversary really looking forward to our experience. Hostess was great, seated us right away and filled our waters. 20 minutes without anyone noticing us we waived down the manager and let him know we weren't being helped. He apologized as well as our server. From then on service was good. Calamari was delicious but for the $34 steak meal it sure wasn't worth it. Steak quality was sub par and drenched in a tasty but over salty sauce. When you pay $34 for steak you cook it right and let the steak do the talking not the sauce. All in all if our bill was $50 I'd give a 4 star but for a $115 bill you expect more out of the food and service. Will not return, do not recommend. read more

I've had the pleasure of coming to this restaurant for years and have always been welcomed with great service and excellent food with both large parties and small. I was looking forward to the steak frites and a nice cocktail with a party of five last night but sadly the service was abhorrent. We walked in and were seated quickly at the big table in the bar area. Then we waited. It took 10 plus minutes for us to be greeted by our server in a largely empty restaurant and when we were... whoa buddy was this guy rude! After the long wait he saunters up to the table and rudely says "I'm ready when you're ready" in an exasperated voice. No hello. No letting us know specials. So we just ordered drinks and left. I'll be back because everyone is entitled to a bad day but "yikes" last night was terrible. read more

This place is very classy and the food is EXCELLENT. I loved sitting out on the quaint courtyard patio. The drinks were made right and the food is VERY fresh. Dogs are permitted on the patio too which was convenient.

What a disappointment. We were taking three friends out for a holiday meal. 4 adults, one child. 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, two glasses of wine, 3 desserts. $313 plus tip. I don't mind paying for a meal when it's good, but... Service was not particularly helpful. The limited menu is not the one shown on the restaurant website. If we'd known the actual menu we'd have gone elsewhere. $9 for 4 pieces of bread for a table of 5. Apps were OK - good steak tartar, the vegetable pakora was so-so. For entrees, three people wanted steak, but it came with sweetbreads, which didn't appeal. The other "side" was a gratin of shallot which came in a tiny ramekin with a paste of shallot less than a quarter inch deep. One of the steaks was for the child. We asked if she could substitute a potato or vegetable instead of sweetbreads, but no, not possible. I wish I could remember the items that were on the menu. If I could reproduce it here I think most diners would agree there just wasn't much that was very appealing. We were there at 6:15 and the place was not crowded, but two of the 6 or 7 entrees were already sold out. Dessert was fine, but I think they thought I was being overly fussy when I asked for a fork instead of spoon with my cake. Overall it just seemed loud and cold, not convivial or particularly friendly (except for the hostess, who was friendly and welcoming.) read more
