    Food taste - good Over price for the quantity. Ambiance is great and cozy. I love their emerald cocktail.

    FLAVOR (3/5): Decent food here but didn't blow me away for the price point. Lots of vegetarian and sharing options which was appreciated! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): Food presentation was not bad and the ambiance of the place was really what drew us in! In a great spot on the row with a good amount of outdoor seating. SERVICE (4/5): Servers came by often to check in and refilled out water cups for us frequently. TAKEAWAYS: Lots of options on the row so wouldn't necessarily be bookmarking this to come back but glad that I tried it! They also have a cafe option tucked away to the side that looks super cute!

    IMHO This review is for the Augustine cafe right around the corner from Augustine, the restaurant in Santana Row. Baked goods look enticing and delicious! So far I've only enjoyed their cookies. Of course, I'll return! I'm a cookie-aholic!!!

    I've always walked by Augustine but never got a chance to try it until recently when I had a team dinner. We got a private room for about 16 folks. We had a set menu for us that night consisting of - Garden Vegetable Salad - Salmon Tartare - Grilled Flat Iron Steak - Roasted Chicken - Crushed Crispy Potatoes - Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie My favorites of the night were the Salmon Tartare, Grilled flat iron steak, chicken, potatoes, and chocolate chip cookie. Both the steak and chicken were flavorful and saucy. The potatoes had a nice crunch and went well with the main course. I'm normally not a huge sweets person, but the chocolate chip cookie added a nice touch to the night. It was warm, crispy and chewy. The servers were attentive and friendly throughout the night.

    We celebrated Mother's Day at Augustine and had a great experience. Since we brought our dogs with us, we decided to sit outside, Our server even brought water out for the dogs. The outdoor ambiance was relaxing, and there was a live band playing nearby which made the whole experience even better. The food was also really good and everything we ordered was enjoyable.

    Tried Augustine recently and honestly really enjoyed it. We ordered a bunch of things for the table, but the kettle chips and caviar dip was the standout for me. Sounds simple, but it was so good and one of those dishes you keep reaching back for. The restaurant itself has a really nice vibe. Classy but still comfortable. Service was great too. Everyone was friendly, checked in often, and the food came out at a good pace. Definitely a spot worth going back to.

    I usually don't crave pastries like this, but my friend wanted some coffee, so we decided to head to Santana Row and check out Augustine. The moment I walked in, I loved how cozy and comfortable the place felt. The decor and atmosphere were really nice and made it a great spot to relax for a bit. I ended up getting the pain aux raisins pastry, and it was honestly amazing. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, a nice crisp texture on the outside, and was soft and flavorful inside. Definitely one of those pastries you keep thinking about afterward. I honestly wish I tried more pastries, but that'll be for next time. Would definitely come back again!

    Augustine has a nice ambiance but the food doesn't live up to it. The savory Dungeness crab donuts had good crab flavor but the donut itself was too sweet and the pairing didn't work. The gratineed oysters came out shriveled and were too salty. The citrus cured salmon tartare was the weakest dish of the night. The flavors read like salmon with Montreal seasoning and yuzu, and the textures were off. The burger was fine, fries were standard. Service was actually the most notable part of the meal, and not entirely for good reasons. Food came out promptly and the staff were attentive, but our waiter made a noticeable shift midway through. The "are you good?" check-ins started feeling less like hospitality and more like a nudge toward the door. Dessert menus disappeared quickly and payment followed shortly after. It made what could have been an enjoyable dinner feel like a transaction. Worth trying once if you're already in Santana Row, but don't go out of your way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    One of our friends from barry's ended up treating us to savory and sweet pastries. it was cool to see that they had a café on the side of the restaurant. The ambience was a sitdown outdoor café along with a restaurant inside. The service was really good and super helpful and narrowing the options to enjoy for the morning.

    Aug Augustine is a beautiful newer addition to Santana Row -- stylish, lively, and already drawing a crowd. The bar is first‑come, first‑served, and there's a great heated, covered patio along with bistro tables outside if you prefer to sit outdoors. Food was genuinely excellent. The crab donut appetizer is unique and a fun start to our meal. The linguine al limone with Dungeness crab is exceptional -- bright, rich, and perfectly balanced. The burger was cooked exactly to temp and had just the right amount of sauciness. They also have an impressive wine list, though corkage is $35 per bottle if you want to bring your own. Service was on the slower side, but to their credit, senior staff stepped in to help keep things moving. It felt like a team still finding its rhythm, but trying hard. Overall, a great meal in a gorgeous space. Four stars for the slower service, but I'd absolutely come back -- especially for that crab linguine.

    love the rotating menu and great variety of tasty food. I would say, everything on the menu each time I've dined in were good or delicious. the one thing though is some items are overly greasy which doesn't hurt the flavor but is a bit unnecessary. staff is friendly and helpful as well.

    We have been wanting to try out Augustine's before it opened. At first we were hesitant but we've now eaten here 3 times now. We didn't take photos of everything because we were enjoying the atmosphere. I love most of their dishes: - brunch pancakes - brunch/dinner smashed crispy potatoes (add truffle omg!!) - croissants - dungeness crab donuts - Augustine breakfast - dinner salmon - dinner wagyu steak - dinner garden salad (not leafy mainly beet love it) - dinner gem salad (leafy) We didn't like the calamari dish because it was more soupy. Wish it was crispy calamari. The lattes needed some help

    This place is perfect for small bites, cocktails, drinks and hanging out with friends. I didn't get a chance to take pics inside - it's beautiful. We sat outside and enjoyed the amazing California weather. Pros: - very tasty and healthy dishes - perfect spot - Santana Row - beautiful decor - simple food menu (one pager) - lots of options for drinks (several pages for wine and cocktail plus mocktails) - great to share plates Con - being Santana Row, it's on the pricier side - the waiter landed up getting 2 dishes each - though we do finish it (we had asked for just one) - smaller portions - we asked for clams appetizer, he got a clam pasta entree - it was tasty - we didn't bother returning it It's a great place to hang out. My one request would be not bringing the food out so quickly- we wanted to chat and have more drinks.

    Alter Ego and Still OG might just be the most cleverly conceived bar concept in the city. Small and…read moreintimate, yes -- but every inch of it is intentional. Let's start with the drinks. The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.

Can still remember the gourmet dogs and duck fat fries back in the days... Awesome what they did to the place. The new set up with the dim lights and neon menu is noice. Ended up chilling at the front bar. Definitely will return to explore the back at a later time. Food: A We got to sample a variety of goodies and drinks from the menu, which definitely hit the spot. The skewers were cooked just right with a kiss of smoke from the grill. The takoyaki were good as expected--yum. We ended the excursion with the milk bread; it was surely a crowd-pleaser. It was fluffy goodness, topped with furikake, and served with a side of decadent house butter. Drinks were perfectly crafted and refreshing. Service: A We were chilling at the bar and got to hang with staff. Cool folks, will be back. - John

Memorable drinks were the perfect pear and the Andean Ascent. Perfect pear was not fruity at all and had a nice aroma and spice to it. The Andean ascent was a nice drink to start with, refreshing with a bit of fizz.
