    Truffle fries
    Eddie H.

    Finally tried Forgotten Tonic after Easter parade today. We ordered meatballs and truffles fries. Meatballs were outstanding but fries were just good. I liked the regular fries better. The 2 sandwiches we ordered were just okay. The Cesar salad was huge and just okay. Great ambiance and place was full for lunch. The waitress was 5 stars. I like ice water but they serve room temperature water. We have some other favorites that we prefer. I had to try the hype everyone was talking about.

    Getting a reservation was very difficult and we ended up with a 9:15 pm time but it was absolutely worth it. I found this spot on TikTok while searching for good food with a great vibe and it did not disappoint. We visited during the holiday season and the Christmas decorations were so fun. They even gave us cute Christmas beanies at the table. They make their sodas from scratch which made my daughter very happy. The alligator chili was amazing and a must order. I had the fresh catch which was red snapper in curry sauce with jasmine rice and it was delicious. My husband had the Caesar salad and meatloaf and both were steal a bite good. My daughter enjoyed the pasta and truffle fries. Drinks were great with lemon drops rosé and an Old Fashioned. Tatum our waitress was wonderful and very personable. Our bill was just under 200 dollars and this has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in St Augustine. Five stars.

    Hidden away from the main street of the Historic District in St. Augustine, Forgotten Tonic is a unique cocktail bar that's well worth seeking out. We visited on a busy Saturday night, and the place was packed, so it did take a bit of time to get a drink. They have two bars serving craft cocktails that are just as creative as the ambiance itself. The atmosphere feels like an old-world European cottage, with warm amber lighting and vintage décor throughout. One standout detail is how the cocktails are served in adorable, curated glassware and mugs--especially during the Christmas season. It's really fun to see the holiday theme carried through into the drink menu. Prices are on the higher end, but the experience and creativity make it a memorable stop.

    We stopped into The Forgotten Tonic while exploring St. Augustine, and just like many spots in the historic district, the location is fantastic and perfect for a break during a day of walking around. To be fair, we had already eaten lunch, so we only came in for drinks; but honestly, that may have been a mistake. The food coming out to nearby tables looked incredible, and the menu had so many appealing options that we immediately wished we had come hungry. There were several dishes we would have loved to try, even though we were already full. The drinks themselves were excellent; creative, very tasty, and part of a menu that really has something for everyone. It's clear a lot of thought went into the cocktail selection. The ambiance inside is gorgeous and really adds to the overall experience, and the service was friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. Between the atmosphere, drinks, and what we saw coming out of the kitchen, this place feels like a home run. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying the food next time.

    Went here with some friends for the Night of Lights and it did not disappoint! It's hard to get seating inside the restaurant, but we only waited 15 minutes to get a table outside. The only downside was the horses, ghosts tours, and the grinch tours would come by the road behind you so you might get heckled by the Grinch (during the holidays) and you will smell the horses when they pass by! It wasn't a big deal breaker though. Good company and good food! They decorated the restaurant too. The drinks were so good, I had to get more than one! My party and I all shared, we got the: - Silent Night (tart cherry, chocolate, orange acid, soda): Cold Apple Cider but it was pretty - Mellow Mouse (apple, strawberry, grapefruit, lemon, soda): it's like lemon/limeade mix -- this was my favorite - Snow Day Sipper (chocolate hazelnut and coconut syrup, coconut whipped cream, cacao dust): hot chocolate with coconut - Candy Cane Lane (white rum vanilla liqueur, dark creme de cacao, minty amaro, candy cane, oat milk): this one didn't taste good, it was straight alcohol with a hint of mint - Dancing Sugar Plums (gin, limoncello, plum wine, plum milk syrup, lemon, tiki bitters, nutmeg): This was really good, not too strong, not too sweet My party also shared the FT Burger, Bruschetta, Cajun Eggrolls, Pasta Alla Vodka, and Fresh Catch. The fresh catch today was the red snapper with red curry served over rice. Was not spicy, but it was like a perfect combo. The pasta was also pretty good, you can add in protein too. The burger was pretty good, was very smokey. You really can't go wrong with coming here! The food is good and so are the vibes! Come here with people you enjoy and make lots memories!

    Came back for their miracle menu and it did not disappoint! This bar & restaurant completely flips their indoor setting to be a winter wonderland with a limited edition menu for the holiday season only. My husband and I came for our anniversary and had a wonderful experience. For dinner we had the shrimp & grits etoufee and the mussels with chorizo. Both dishes were amazing and left us wanting more. Our server surprised us with a sweet treat to celebrate our anniversary - a chocolate cheesecake that was also very yummy. All of the tables had festive light up hats for customers to take and my koala lala beverage came with a souvenir koala. It was such a cute and fun night during nights of lights and I'd definitely recommend stopping here and making yourself a reservation.

    Christmas Cocktails
    Dorothy A S.

    Great find. We were recommended to this restaurant by Nicolette at the gallery that was the original Woolworths. We had three cocktails that were all Christmas oriented and delicious. For lunch we had the Harvest Brussels Sprouts salad. The combination of flavors with kale, Brussels sprouts, apple, cranberries & Gouda cheese. Delish. My husband had a Caesar with anchovies & my brother in law had the fish sandwich. Everything was awesome. Amelia was our server & she was incredible. For dessert my husband ordered the chocolate salami & Amelia surprised us with a slice of chocolate mousse cake with a sparkler for my birthday.

    This place is a gem tucked away on a side street away from busy streets. Many of the staff seemed cheerful and social for our mid-day appetizer. The decor is Christmas to go along with "Nights of Lights", and the food and drink are custom for the occasion as well. The charcuterie could have been on a board rather than a plate but the options were quite good. The meats and cheeses were good choices but missing olives, pickles or something sweet like a jam for the bread, though the pimento was a good spread for the bread. The "naughty" shot contained tequila, habanero, ginger and hibiscus. Highly Recommended!

    Shrimp and grits

    As always, another great visit to Forgotten Tonic. This remains a must-do for anyone in Saint Augustine and it's consistently the first restaurant I mention when asked where to dine in Saint Augustine. The food is always spectacular, the service excellent, and it's a classy but casual atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating throughout most of the year. At Halloween and Christmas, they go all out with decor and specialty drinks. This time we had the crispy artichoke appetizer and shared the Burrata and Chicken sandwiches. We chose to upgrade to the truffle fries. Everything was on point and excellent. Even with the sandwiches the little touches like sauces and type of bread used just make this an elevated dining experience. We'll be by as often as we can. If you haven't tried this place yet, I highly recommend you do.

    We came for the miracle pop up and now I'm excited to come back again. The food is really fresh and flavorful. The seasonal cocktails are expensive but not outside of the norm for the area. Make a reservation if you can as they get busy especially now that nights of lights is going.

    Brown Butter Cake for Dessert! So flavorful
    Bill F.

    For me and my wife this was the gem of our trip to St Augustine. Incredible date night spot in downtown st Augustine. Great drink menu. Elite appetizer: Fried Artichokes are an absolute must and not something you see on menu ever. My server recommended the fresh catch of the day and she as on point! It was flounder with Kimchi Fried Rice and man was it terrific. My wife got the Burrata sandwich and loved it...I thought it was flavorful but nothing special. The Brown Butter cake was very very good for dessert...but I do regret not trying the S'Mores Creme Brulee. I would come back here every single time we go to St Augustine. Our type of place for real!

    Shrimp and grits

    Food was delicious, loved the chill vibes in there. Bruschetta was a highlight and the shrimp and grits were some of the best I have ever had My partner got the burger and that was delicious as well! Definitely recommend, this meal was the highlight of the weekend!

    Saturn with Titos instead of gin
    Alicia H.

    This bar def hits with the tourist prices. I was a bit shocked my 1 cocktail was $22 before tip. (I know we are in downtown st aug, but most of the other cocktails I had this day were $14). My drink was good, but didn't validate the prices. Bar was hot, def needed to blast the a/c. Also the table-booth was pretty awkward- the booth seat is way too low for the table height. Uncomfortable to eat or drink and felt awkward talking with my friends.

Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back.

We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates!
