It is somewhat off the beaten path and not on the main drag in the town, but well worth turning down to Treasury Street and following the music to here!!!

We didn't get anything from the food menu, but the Charcuterie Board on the table next to us looked amazing. They have music every night and host a Full Moon Tasting Event as well as a Wine Walk through the town (I will take pictures when I go and post them) and Trivia nights with a band. I highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

I was looking on Yelp for a restaurant in St. Augustine to celebrate my birthday, and La Nouvelle…read morecaught my eye with such great reviews! I knew we had to go. I'm so glad I did. This French restaurant is located in a charming 3-story historic Jefferson house, once owned by Thomas Jefferson's great-granddaughter, Maria Jefferson Eppes Shine. The restaurant is on the first floor, with the entrance tucked away in the back. They have parking in the back. The second and third floors are home to a cozy Bed and Breakfast. We arrived right at 6 p.m. and were seated at a special table by the window. The restaurant isn't huge, but it has a lovely atmosphere. Renee was our server and treated us to a complimentary champagne for the occasion. She explained the menu and the specials. The Chefs Dinner Menu was fascinating, but unfortunately, I don't eat lamb. The menu changes frequently, so I'll definitely check it out again in the future and pair it with the optional Sommelier's wine pairing. There are so many wonderful choices, but I finally decided on the Bouillabaisse, remembering all the positive comments on Yelp. When my order arrived, it was presented on a large platter with a gorgeous display. It tasted as good as it looked, with the lobster eyes staring at me. It was a whole lobster, conveniently cut, which made it easier to eat. The combination of lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams in a saffron-flavored broth was amazing. I'm so glad I chose it. My husband opted for the Steak au Poivre with Pomme Aligot. It's mashed potatoes with melted cheese, butter, and cream. The texture was a bit tougher than regular mashed potatoes, but still delicious. I tasted his filet, and it was so tender. He loves the poivre sauce on his steak. Renee recommended all the wines we picked. We started with the complimentary Frederic Chopin Brut Blanc de Blanc, and we really liked it, so we ordered more. For my meal, I had the Barbebelle Rosé, and my husband had the Peyrassol Merlot Syrah blend. Both wines complemented our meal perfectly. We did run into an issue with my Bouillabaisse, as it was a bit too salty. The manager, Parnos, came and apologized and had the chef prepare a new batch for me. They fixed the problem right away. I'm really impressed with the service, the amazing food, and the beautiful restaurant that's now La Nouvelle. They even gave me an amazing dessert with a birthday candle for free! It had a chocolate center, a crispy crust, whipped cream topping with chocolate morsels. La Nouvelle was outstanding in so many ways, making my birthday super special.

My wife's onion soup was good and her Steak Au Poivre was plentiful and tasty. The service was excellent and our server was friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

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.

My husband & I live in the area and decided to check out at Cellar 6 on a recommendation. After being seated by the hostess at a high top, the floor was pretty busy, but we sat at our table for 10 min. Without being greeted, or without menus. Finally, the server dropped of 1 menu & says that's she'll be right back. Shortly after, the hostess brings by two waters. We sat for another 10 min. before the server came back to take our order. I ordered the bikini martini, and we ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer, and we both got the chicken bev. & a cesar salad. It took 20 min. to get our appetizer, but received no silverware. Then the salad came out about 15 min after we finished our appetizer, still no silverware, no one in sight as we stared at our salad. We finally called attn. to the hostess & asked for 2 sets of silverware. Even though the silverware was warm from the dish room, my fork was fitly. It took another 5 min. to call this to anyone attn. & receive a new set (for the money that you spend, who knows why they expect you to use the same fork for three course meal, am I suppose to just lay dressing covered fork the table after finishing my salad?) Overall the food was so-so, and we chalked up our experience to the fact that they were seemingly busy. Exactly 1 week later we find ourselves in town again visiting family & decided to give Cellar 6 another try. It was 8:45 pm & this time they were not busy at all. We waited about 5 min. to be seated, this time getting 1 menu off the bat. It took 12-15 min. for Heather to come over to our table and greet us. At this point she took our drink orders. I had decided to order the mango lemonade from the bar. We were seated close to the bar, and It was pretty entertaining to watch the bar tender make drinks, including mine. What was almost equally entertaining was watching Heather walk by it about 4 times as it sat on the bar top and I waited & watched from our table. Another 5 min. passed before Heather finally brings my drink. After we ordered an appetizer, two salads, & two entrees, We told her that were would be stepping outside for a few minutes, she said "Oh absolutely, no problem". We came back inside literally 3 min. later, & to our surprise, our table had been cleared & a single woman is sitting at our table looking over a menu. We stood around for a couple of min. confused about what had just happened. With no one around to explain, we decided to sit at the table next to our original. It does seem like the wait staff is more concerned with polishing glasses, and fiddling around with dishes behind the bar as they chat with each other than they are with paying attention to existing customers. So we sat at our new table with nothing as we tried to get Heather's attention. We waived her over as she finished with the table behind us. We had to explain what had happened with our previous table, and that we now needed new waters & silverware sets. It was like she had no idea what was going on. About 15 min. later, she brings out 1 salad (my salad). We asked her what happened to the appetizer. She explained that the kitchen was backed up (even though it was a slow night). We also had to ask about my husbands salad, she explained that his entree (the burger) didn't come with one. We knew this, but had to reminder her that we did order it with the entree. She said that was a quick fix & would be back with it. I didn't want to eat my salad while my husband sat there and watched. After all, we came here to eat together. It took 10 min. before Heather appears with our....appetizer. After we were done with that, we waited another 15 min. for my husbands salad. Half way in, I pull a hair wrapped around mixed greens out of my own mouth. I nearly through up. After losing my appetite & waiting another 25 min. for our entrees, my husband quickly ate his burger, we asked for a box and a check, nothing comped (not that we wanted it, but should have been offered) we paid, and left. Will never return and was by far the worst service we have ever experienced. Left at 10:30pm read more

Unforgettable Experience at Forgotten Tonic - St. Augustine- Dining at Forgotten Tonic was nothing short of exceptional. Tucked away in the heart of St. Augustine, this hidden gem offers an inviting atmosphere, top-tier service, and some of the best food and drinks l've ever had. The cocktails were expertly crafted, balanced, and bursting with flavor-each sip was better than the last. Whether you're a fan of classic cocktails or unique house creations, their bar program is truly top-notch. The food was equally impressive. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with rich, fresh flavors. From appetizers to entrees, each bite was an experience in itself. The quality of ingredients and attention to detail were evident in every plate. Beyond the incredible food and drinks, the ambiance and service elevated the evening.

If you're in St. Augustine and looking for a spot with an incredible drink selection and a lively atmosphere, Forgotten Tonic is worth a visit. Located on charming Aviles Street, this hidden gem offers a unique blend of craft cocktails and a flavorful menu that caters to various tastes. The cocktail menu is a standout here, with creative concoctions that showcase the talent behind the bar. I had the Sazerac, and it was hands-down one of the best I've had in a while--perfectly balanced and made with precision. The Bourbon Sour was another favorite, with just the right amount of tartness and smooth bourbon flavors. If you're a fan of inventive drinks, this is the place to go. Service was another highlight. Our server was friendly, and knowledgeable, and ensured our drinks never ran dry. The ambiance is fun and lively, with a bustling energy that makes it perfect for a night out with friends. That being said, the noise levels can get a bit high, especially during peak times, so it might not be the best spot if you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner. read more

Went to Forgotten Tonic for brunch a few Saturdays ago with a few friends, and it was amazingggg! One thing to note, they do require a $20 per person for reservations credit card hold, which I haven't experienced at other places before. But honestly, it was worth it. We ended up running late due to traffic coming from Jacksonville, FL, and when we called, they were so kind and accommodating about it. The staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming. Everything we ordered was sooo good. Our favorite drink was the Raising Cane--we each had about 2-3. Definitely a must-try. We loved the variety on the menu. We ordered a few appetizers to share and split three different entrées, and every single dish hit. Pro tip: always ask about the fresh catch and the chef's cut. The options sounded so good that we ended up getting both, and I'm glad we did. Also, the decor deserves its own moment--it's so beautiful and aesthetic. The space feels warm, fun, and just the right amount of maximalist. read more

The drink menu is full of creative, expertly balanced options, and the bar teams takes so much care in crafting the perfect drink for you, whether you choose something on or off the menu. Throughout the year Forgotten Tonic hosts festive pop-up bars that always add an extra fun element to the already outstanding experience.

Located on a historic side street off of King St (main drag) and away from much of the tourist congestion. Small inside seating of 12 tables or so with outside sidewalk seating available. Limited dinner menu but enough selection for most diners. Entree salads, soups, flatbreads, several pasta selections, chicken, steaks, shrimp & grits, great burger platter. Limited wine list but extensive martini choices and other craft cocktails and beer. Nice happy hour. Great service and good basic American food. Chief Frederick even came out to check on our meal.

I'd picked it because I wanted a place with a charcuterie board and their brown butter cake sounded good but somehow they missed us ordering the charcuterie so we never got it and they were out of the brown butter cake Still, all the drinks and food we did get were great and we had a good time.

Once we gave him the information he needed, Talon proceeded to make us some amazing cocktails. I absolutely loved mine and could have drank them all night. I tried some of my friends' drinks and they were all excellent as well. We ordered several appetizers to share (guacamole, wings, empanadas, and mojo chicharrones), everything was very tasty.

Even though it sounds rather stuffy, this is a very friendly and welcoming place. Our meal and the whole experience was amazing! Professional, yet friendly staff and our waitress was wonderful! Cozy, yet elegant dining areas. We started with bread with roasted garlic cloves and basil oil. Had an appetizer of prosciutto wrapped scallops and potatoes (Scallop Saltimbocca). I had their special of pan seared redfish and my husband had the wild mushroom pasta. We were served raspberry sorbet as a palate cleanser before the entree. Finished with rum cake we shared that they graciously split in half portions for us. All in all, it was a wonderful dining experience!

The staff had barely arrived, still unpacking. ...and yet, they were so gracious to our party being there too early. We were welcomed in by the bartender and immediately made to feel at home by the ladies (bartender + waitress) who began chatting with us like we were locals. The drinks were phenomenal (aperol spritz was very refreshing). My favorite thing we ordered that day was the eggplant flatbread (sounded kinda funky... but is actually mouth-wateringly delicious). It was a great experience. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in town. Thank you for being so welcoming to the out-of-towners standing awkwardly in the doorway of your not-open-yet restaurant.

For drinks, my husband enjoyed the Smoked Old Fashioned, and I had the Maracuyá Margarita. Mine was a little on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable and refreshing. Our server, Grayson, was attentive, friendly, and provided outstanding service throughout our meal. The manager also stopped by our table to check on us, which was a nice touch and showed that they genuinely care about their guests' experience. He was very friendly and welcoming. Great food, great drinks, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!

The drinks were overpriced, and the overall experience was absolutely not worth the hassle. Customer service makes a huge difference, and unfortunately this place completely missed the mark. We will not be returning and would not recommend wasting your time trying to get in. Overall, a very rude and unpleasant experience.

The waitress was sweet and answered all the questions my friend had regarding the menu and we ordered a little beverage to enjoy. I got the espresso martini which is a sad attempt at an espresso martini for anyone who truly enjoys them. But my friends drink was actually really good! We both ordered the avacado toast which we loved! My bread was a little too toasty for my liking but oh well. The thing that threw me off is hard boiled egg was an extra 3? 4? Dollars. For one egg cut in half. That price didn't add up to me at all. Overall we enjoyed our toast enough to come back!

The server was quick and attentive and we ordered right away. We ordered a spinach feta pizza, spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer and a mojito. The mojito was prepared really well and was delicious. The appetizer and pizza ended up coming out at the same time. The spinach artichoke dip was alright. The feta pizza was very good. The crust for the pizza was also really good. Overall, good experience. I would definitely go back if we were in the area.
