    I love a coffee shop that opens early on the weekend. I was the first customer in and Bar Citra soon welcomed families, couples, and someone working on a laptop which let me know this is a spot that locals love. I had lunch plans that day so I truly intended to only get a coffee, but I was quickly enticed by the sourdough. I ordered the Simple Toast which is served with flaky salt butter and seasonal jam, currently fig which paired nicely with my honey fig latte made with house-made syrup. The interior offers various seating areas, a mini market with wine by the bottle, condiments and culinary items, and Lineage Coffee available for purchase. Be sure to check out their website to view the menus and the weekly events. The wine, pizza, and ricotta dumplings in particular are calling my name.

    A true St. Augustine gem! We absolutely loved this natural wine bar and cafe that we visited while passing through town. I had DM'd them on IG to confirm whether we could bring our 1-year old there and they quickly replied letting us know YES, they are a family-friendly business. They also had a high chair available for our little guy which was much appreciated. We stopped in for an early dinner to relax and give our son a break from his car seat during a recent road trip. The food and wine were amazing! I love snacky plates to share while sipping on some natural wine. I typically go with any fizzy red that they have available by the glass which never disappoints. We had the bread & butter (the salted whipped butter was SO GOOD), roasted veggies with a chili garlic yogurt, ricotta dumplings, and the pickled & deviled eggs. They also offer salads, pizza, charcuterie/cheese, and other bar snacks, as well as dessert, coffee, and plenty of zero proof options. They even make their own sourdough in house. The interior is super cute & minimal with a large bar and a good amount of table seating. They also have a retail area featuring some fun gifts and bottles of wine for purchase. Can't wait to visit again the next time we're in the area!

    Omelette, pizza, Caesar salad and  "simple " toast which was anything but simple!

    What a wonderful new spot in town. The Caesar salad salad was fantastic. The omelette was so unique and delicious. The pizza was made with homemade dough and ingredients. We also had fantastic wines by the glass and they have quite an assortment of beer as well. Check it out, but don't tell the tourists

    Had a pretty average experience earlier today. Ordered the cardamom bun, tahini latte, Roman pizza and bar snack (olive oil chips with fried fava beans.) I think I was coming in with super high expectations since they're featured in Michelin guide. The slice of sourdough pizza was actually the best out of everything I ordered, but it was more of focaccia then pizza and I think it should be labeled as such. Coffee was ok, the bun was a little stale and bar snack was just prepackaged chips (boulders ) mixed with prepackaged fried favas. I'm not sure but maybe the place is more geared towards alcohol drinkers since most of the menu is alcohol beverages and there isn't much food on the menu. However, for people like myself who are more interested in the food itself, it was very average. I'm giving 4 starts because decor was actually really cool and interesting. The place has a potential if they worked on their menu a bit more

    Wow! Great new bar/café. I had a Gruner Veltliner ('fresh' Austrian white wine) with the Pizza al Taglio (today's potato & onion); Roasted veggies in a chili garlic sauce -- topped off with a cardamom bun! ALL were delicious, perfectly prepared and beautifully served. There are nice accessories, books & wine for sale and the menu has MANY coffee choices as well. Nice seating and exceptionnally nice cocktail music with great service. I look forward to returning with friends next week. Happy Hour! Beer & Aperitivos too.

    Cute and quaint. This place is like a piece of Italy in the middle of St Augustine. The coffee was SO tasty!

I had maybe the most bibimbap of my life here, and that includes contenders from a number of restaurants in the Atlanta area. It was truly perfect. $8 for adding tofu (maybe 1/4 block lmao) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen financially, but hey it's a tourist area and it was absolutely made with skill & care, so I wasn't even mad. Seriously, I wanted to hug whoever cooked it. It is so worth it. Everyone else at my table was thrilled with what they got - burrata sandwiches and a fish sandwich. Not a good beer selection, it's very cocktail focused. Not my thing but yeah I will absolutely be back anytime I am in this wonderful city. This is not one to skip

    I wanted to love Forgotten Tonic because the menu looked unique, but unfortunately this was one of…read morethe most disappointing dining experiences we've had in St. Augustine. First, the seating. The tables are unusually tall, making us feel like little kids trying to sit at the adults' table. It wasn't comfortable for anyone in our group. Then there were the lights. They continuously blinked above our table, and it was so distracting that we asked to move. Unfortunately, the second table had the same issue. I know St. Augustine is famous for its ghosts, but I wasn't expecting them to be playing with the lights at 7:00 p.m. while the sun was still shining! The biggest frustration was ordering. We were told menu items could be modified, but after placing our order the server kept returning one item at a time to tell us they actually couldn't make the requested changes. It would have been much better to know that before ordering. The pickle appetizer was another disappointment. Based on the description, I expected a pickle-forward appetizer. Instead, it was mostly kimchi, pickled onions, and other pickled vegetables with only five slices of actual pickles. I honestly don't have the words to describe how disappointing that dish was. I was also excited to try the tzatziki green beans, but the crisp pickled green beans tasted more like fermented green sticks than an enjoyable side dish. The baked Brie arrived with what I initially thought was melted cheese inside the croissant, but it turned out to be undercooked raw dough. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had just taken a bite of raw dough. I actually started feeling sick before we even left the restaurant. My younger son ordered the house root beer, which tasted extremely watered down. He also had the pasta with added grilled chicken, but the chicken was dark meat, overly shiny, and completely unappetizing to him. I ordered the non-alcoholic Velvet Slippers mocktail. One sip was enough--I honestly can't find the words to describe how unpleasant it tasted. My friend ordered the steak sandwich and requested the peppers be left off. After ordering, she was told they couldn't accommodate that request, so she had to pick the peppers off herself and still didn't enjoy the sandwich. My older son ordered the lamb sirloin. Even though lamb is often served medium-rare, this was so rare it looked like it was still bleating. We paid our bill before dessert because my stomach was already upset. I ended up making one last stop in the restroom before catching up with my family, who were already halfway down the street, ready to forget Forgotten Tonic. Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Between the uncomfortable seating, blinking lights, inability to accommodate simple modifications, disappointing food, and getting sick before leaving the restaurant, we won't be returning.

The history, ambiance, food, and hospitality were all exceptional. Renee, our server, made the evening feel so personal. She was warm, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable. We talked throughout dinner, and not once did she make us feel rushed. She helped curate our meal, and her service will be remembered just as much as the incredible food. Panos, the manager, also stopped by our table and was so friendly and welcoming; everyone genuinely cared about creating a great experience. Every dish was outstanding. The escargot was perfectly cooked (not rubbery at all) with the ideal balance of garlic butter, paired with an incredible fresh-baked baguette. The foie gras was excellent, the steak au poivre was cooked beautifully, and the duck confit was probably the best I've ever had. The red wine-marinated grapes were such a delightful, unexpected touch. For dessert, the lavender crème brûlée was such a unique and incredible flavor profile, very light and delicate, beautifully executed, and the chocolate mousse was just as good. After I left, I checked a few photos out online and only wish I had a chance to try the burger and the peach dessert thing. Also the oysters - couple next to us had them at the end and I wish I had saved room for a few. It's rare to find a restaurant where every part of the experience, from the food to the people, feels this special. We only wish we lived closer. Such an incredible place. This will definitely be our first choice if we ever make it back to St. Augustine.

(This is exciting for someone who is all this stressed out about parking, lol) We made reservations the morning of the branch and we were able to be accommodated. We were promptly seated when we arrived. Our server, Nina, was polite, attentive and patient with all our questions. She even gave us advice when we asked about some local areas to go check out after the meal. We sat indoors, though they were available outdoor options for seating. The decor was well done and seems pretty classy. The food was fantastic! We tried the deviled eggs, raw oysters with datil hot sauce, and escargot. I tried one of the off menu omelette selections, which was expertly made. We also tried the bouillabaisse and Branzino. Everything was cooked to perfection. We also tried the lavender crème brûlée, pot de creme and Paris -Brest. We thoroughly enjoyed those desserts! I will highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion. The quality of the food was excellent, and as such, I will return.

She screamed at me as I tried to open up the refrigerator to get a cooled Sauvignon Blanc, not seeing the aggressive sign it was ONLY for the worker to touch the wine. Then she screamed at my daughter looking at an umbrella. Talk about anger issues! This shop was the exact opposite experience. I was greeted upon walking in, offered assistance to pick out wine and the owner engaged with my daughter. I was so much happier to spend my money here vs Fort Alley. I ended up getting some Italian reds, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and some wines from my Paso Robles in Southern California, one of my favorite wine regions. I was hoping to get some Prosciutto but the shop was all out. The shopkeeper explained there was a rush from customers and she didn't get her regular order in. It was completely understandable. And appreciated her sharing why it wasn't available rather than being dismissive like at the previous wine shop I was at over at Fort Alley. I am so glad I came to this shop. I come to St. Augustine often to visit my family and I'll be back.
