We were passing through St Augustine after a day on the waters, decided to eat here since it was one of the only Restaurants in that Downtown area that had parking spaces available. We walked in and were promptly greeted by a Gentleman that asked if we had reservations? We replied "no" and he seated us. The decor is a little odd, there doesn't seem to be a theme, it's a mix of contemporary and not even sure how to describe it, there's a lot going on. They had a set up for photos, and Luxury handbags set up on a back Bar area, the employee said it was a Pop up Shop. We ordered: SAN MARCO SCALLOPS scared, beurre blanc, basil oil, charred This was delicious, but only had 3 Scallops, perfectly cooked and great flavor. COCONUT CURRY POPCORN passion fruit, raw honey, whipped garlic This chicken was so salty i had to eat some of the bread they served to try and help with the saltiness. The sweet bread rolls were very good I was not impressed with the food or the Service overall.

During the busy Nights of Lights in Saint Augustine, I parked nearby and started walking toward the Christmas lights when I came across Chez L'Amour. The gorgeous atmosphere, live jazz music, and supper club vibe immediately drew me in--I just had to go inside. Even on such a busy night, there was no wait, and we sat at the bar. The espresso martinis were made to perfection, the tostada was a 10/10, and the Wagyu beef slider was amazing (I'm a beef lover, so it was an obvious choice for me!). This place is now a must-visit every time I'm in St Augustine.

My husband and I went for the first time before I gave birth to my last baby. The food is absolutely delicious, my husband enjoyed his drinks and I enjoyed that they were able to recommend some fun non alcoholic drinks for myself. We were excited as it is advertised as more of a Jazz Bar, but the music was pretty loud, and it was a random mix of music. The service was wonderful. It is adults only, so just plan accordingly if needed.

If you're looking for a space to rent with delicious food, impeccable service and a gorgeous, unique aesthetic - look no further. Some fam booked Chez for a birthday celebration and it was an incredible time. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the bar was a whole vibe, and there was room for a band and dance floor. The service was fantastic. The staff poured drinks, refilled buffet items, and cleared plates like ninjas -- smiling ninjas, of course. The food was yummmm--we had the Fritto Broccoli, fries, steak sliders and datil pork belly--and my mouth is still watering just thinking about it. And guess what---they have their own parking lot. It's not huge, so if your invite list is long there is street parking along the road, too. Will definitely return for a normal night of service when they have live jazz.

We attended media night on a culinary journey at Chez L'Amour, where love meets elegance. Indulged in tapas-style small plates, upscale cuisine, decadent desserts, and soulful jazz tunes, all in the heart of St. Augustine at 45 San Marco Avenue. Experience the passion of owners Alberto and Jeanetta as they transformed an 1800s house into a sophisticated haven for food, music, and love. 10 star's excellent service ambience and delicious food! It will be open Wednesday through Saturday from 4pm to 11pm and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. A happy hour is offered Wednesday through Friday from 4pm to 6 pm. Learn more at bitesbubblesandjazz.com

Chez L'Amour in St. Augustine offers a romantic and charming experience with its elevated uptown dining. The tapas-style small plates and luxurious desserts add a playful touch to the dining concept. The romantic and elegant decor, reminiscent of French art deco, sets the perfect ambiance, enhanced by the delightful live jazz. A truly enchanting culinary experience. They offer veg, non-veg and also gluten free options. Chef Ellie Rose pours her heart to prepare every dish to perfection. We sampled the pizza, mussels, beet tartare and coconut curry popcorn chicken all created by @chefellierose.  Everything was just so decadent and delicious.   The mocktails were just as delightful we had the Cats Meow with lemon, raw sugar, ginger, seedlip & Bandleader with beet, almond, fennel, lemon. @bitesbubblesandjazz is the perfect spot for date night, girls night or you can reserve their entire party room for a special event.  They are open Wednesday - Saturday from 4pm to 11pm and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. 45 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine Learn more at bitesbubblesandjazz.com

Great place for a date night or night out with friends in St Augustine. Beautiful atmosphere, live music and a great bar for cocktails. The chef is innovative and creates dishes with fresh ingredients. Love the ambiance and vibe. A must visit if local or visiting the oldest city. Service is great, seated timely and servers are attentive.

Very romantic spot. Beautiful decor. Definitely upscale. Drinks are some of the best I've ever had. Went back for seconds another time during our time in St. Augustine. We like some of the food others just were not our cup of tea. Very attentive service.

We have dined in many establishments in and around St Augustine and we've had trouble finding any with ambience. Chez L'Amour has the ambience we have been looking for. There are low lights and candles and a more "romantic" vibe. The food is more small plates and perfect for sharing. The live music is a really nice touch. And, they have a parking lot! We loved it and have recommended it and will definitely be back!

Great place for unique appetizers and entrees. We came for an early dinner and we were one of the very few customers that was seated. Little by little the place started getting crowded. We also witnessed a live band prepping and getting ready for tonight's gig. The food we ordered are meant for sharing and that means we get to taste all of what we order. All the food we ordered was exceptional but I thought the popcorn chicken was uniquely presented and the chicken was nicely battered and fried. Desserts and as well as the live band ends our dining experience memorable. There were still so many entrees we weren't able to taste and order because we have no more room to eat. We'd like to come and try the other things we didn't get to taste.

We went early and were seated in the Violet Room in the back. It was quiet and good for conversation. The front room is much more lively with the bar and the musicians. Music starts at 7 PM. We were greeted promptly and the service was consistently good throughout the meal. The star of the show is the food. Most things are small plates so it is easy to try several things and share. There were four of us and we loved everything we ordered. But my favorites were the Thai mussels and the mushroom plate. Very interesting flavor profiles and a knockout chef, Chef Ellie Rose knows how to make creative and delicious foods.

My boyfriend and I went a few weeks ago on a Sunday evening and it was an all around fantastic time!! The restaurant/bar is gorgeous! The drinks were super delicious and creative! The jazz band was so talented and enjoyable to listen to and watch! Just a perfect evening. I hope they continue to have live jazz music on Sunday evenings. We'll be back!!

Jen D.

We walked in and found seats by the bar, the staff were friendly and the bar tenders are knowledgeable. Highly recommend to make a reservation prior. They have good espresso martini!! The food was fantastic! And there was a live jazz band which is a beautiful touch for a nice dinner. The only thing that I noticed here is they charged % for the band, included in your bill. Other than that, this place is amazing and I highly recommend for date night or a nice ambiance dinner.

What is the parking situation?

If you have a reservation there is a small area right in front of the restaurant for customers, or if you're lucky like I was you'll get one of the 4 up front spots

The cheesecake was absolutely amazing, and our server was very friendly and attentive…read more Unfortunately, I can't remember her name, but she made the experience even better! One recommendation: please consider adding coffee to the menu. I was a little disappointed because I love having my cake with a good cup of coffee/expresso. Other than that, everything was wonderful!

While the Bar Harbor Cheesecake food was good, the entire experience was so odd. They charge $45…read moreonline for a reservation, so I called in to see additional times. I was told 9pm at the earliest on the phone, the website said 7:30 at the earliest and when I showed up in person to ask they had immediate seating. In fact, not one other table was taken indoors. We had our entire meal alone, inside this restaurant which is a converted home. Many of the homes in St Augustine are like this, so a home converted business isn't weird. But it is when 10+ employees constantly walk by and you are eating at a somewhat private table. I have no idea what all those employees were doing. We joked that the cheesecake restaurant was a front for another business because the employees seemed so busy, yet no one was there. We also had to laugh, almost the entire menu was sold out. Every person at our table had to order their 2nd or 3rd backup item, most of us completely changing our order. One in our group had the waiter come back twice to tell us they sold out of his item AS his meal was being made. While the cheesecakes were very good and there was potentially a nice selection, I think this location was a bit too odd to recommend to other diners unless you specifically just want cheesecake. If you do, just get it to go.

My wife and I arrived just after 5pm on a Saturday night. The place was totally empty (which is…read moreseldom a good sign for me). Very unassuming store from. Inside was open and pleasant. The music was a loop of calypso with the most annoying, nightmare inducing AI video I've ever seen. But I digress... The Food... my wife had a Cuban sandwich special which came with a guava smoothie (?) she also ordered a side of Yuca Frita. The insides of the sandwich were good but totally overtaken by the bread which was dry and too crumbly. But the thing that sums up this visit was the Yuca Fries...$4 for (I kid you not) THREE yuca fries! Yes, I said 3 little yuca fries on a small plate for $4!!!! I had the Vaca Frita with Yuca con Mojo and grilled veggies. The meat was dry but the flavors of all were pretty good. Ended the meal with "Cuban" coffee which was NOT Cuban coffee but what tasted like unsweetened instant espresso. And a flaN which was the highlight of the meal. Good portion, fresh and delicious. I was told this place had been open for 2 years. Hard to believe. Maybe we came at a bad time but I wouldn't expect a place like this to last six months. Oh, the server was pleasant enough. I don't think she knew just how bad things are. I'd give this place 1 star if not for the fact the flavors were okay. Oh yes, almost forgot...the bill for this lackluster of an experience was $58 including tip!! (Did I mention we drank water? Drink prices were incredibly overpriced). And finally, a terrible case of heartburn accompanied me for the rest of the evening. My wife and I grew up in South Florida so we kinda know what this food should taste like. Lots of decent to good Cuban restaurants in northeast Florida. This is not one of them. Needless to say, we won't be back!

This place is my go to for food that feels and tastes like home. The picadillo is seasoned very…read morewell and is not greasy at all. The congris pairs very well with it and for a sweet touch i added plantains. My boyfriend had the vaca frita and it was very tender and flavorful, he had yuca with mojo as a side and a vegetable skewer. Everything tasted very fresh! The service was very good and fast, our server that worked yesterday between 1pm to 3pm which was a girl (didnt get her name) was very attentive! I loved the ambiance and the music that transported me back to Cuba and Spain. We also had churros for dessert but it was a miss for us, we will have flan next time as they were out of it when we asked for it.
