We hosted a special dinner for two of our soon to retire colleagues at Harvest & Reel. The appetizers were delicious, especially the calamari, crab cakes and charcuterie board. The salmon, filet and the Delmonico steak were a 10/10. Drinks were good too. Service was excellent. It was a perfect place to celebrate individuals who've dedicated so much to the Finishing Trades. read more

Service was excellent, food was really good. The manager went above and beyond to make us happy. We came a little before close and the still treated us with the whole menu and full service. It's an intimate place to dine and converse. read more

My husband & I stayed one night at Hampton Inn St Augustine Beach, and we got there on Tuesday. we were anticipating eating at the Sunset Grille as we had before when we stayed. Closed Tuesdays We decided to take a walk over to the Embassy Suites . I'm so glad we did. The lobby is huge and all decorated for Christmas. There were guests sitting in the lounge area, lots of couches. Kelly, our hostess, seated us and asked where we were from, she was so friendly. Kelly kept coming back to check on us, and asked us if everything was good. Jack was our server. Best service! My husband had the rib eye steak. He said it was on the best steaks he's ever had. It was lovely. I think we will book on our way back north. Even if you don't stay there, at least try the restaurant, you won't be disappointed read more

Went as a couple on Valentine's Day for dinner and we had an excellent table near the expo line. We got to see everything being done. It made for excellent dinner conversations not to mention a lot of action. Our waitress was great and the food was simply delicious and wildly constructed. This dinner left us saying, "More please!!" read more

Good food and great service. Everyone, especially Katie, Anna, Michael & Maddox at the bar made us very comfortable.

We had beef short rib. The portion was small and fatty. The green beans were just average. A glass of wine and one meal was $89.00.

The Harvest and Reel is located inside the beautiful Embassy Suites resort. This beachfront property doesn't currently have beach access so keep that in mind. We stayed at the resort and ate here twice during our stay. As we often do, we decided to share a few things because this was our first time here. We started with the crab bisque. It definitely needed some seasoning. We order the pork chop. We asked for medium. It was more medium well but still juicy so we ate it. The potatoes were tasty. The couscous is so lacking in any seasoning I just couldn't eat it. I tried lemon, salt, and pepper. It just couldn't be helped. We were offered a free dessert because they saw we didn't eat it. We got the side. Do not get the entree of it! The chocolate brownie (best way I can describe it), was good but very rich. Later in the stay, I ordered the Caesar salad with halibut. I would skip that as well. It ended up being $27 for a very mediocre salad. It comes in large pieces and the halibut was very small and overcooked. Our server was friendly and accommodating. He was attentive and made every attempt to keep us happy. The bartenders were also friendly but complained about their jobs quite a bit. Overall, the resort is lovely but the restaurant needs some work. I would not have gone back had we not been staying there. read more

I had eaten at Harvest & Reel a few years ago, when it opened, and had an amazing time. Since we were staying at the Embassy Suites Resort St. Augustine Beach , I figured it would be a fabulous time to try it again. Located in the lobby of the hotel, Harvest & Reel is a gorgeous dining space. It's dark, and cozy, with an open kitchen and a "Farm Fresh and Shore To Table" concept. Yum. We had a party of eight, and were celebrating my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's anniversary too. Our server was Harrison, and he was a dream. He had great knowledge of the menu, made excellent suggestions, was super attentive to our table, and was just a general superstar. Thanks to him. We started with wine and appetizers. We sent an order of the calamari and the charcuterie board down to the "kids'" end of the table, while the "adults" had another plate of calamari and the crispy Brussels sprouts. I'm not a huge calamari fan, but these are fried in the lightest batter, and served with a flavorful green goddess drizzle and hot peppers, so it hits just right. The crispy Brussels sprouts were so good that my husband ordered them as a side with his dinner. I shamelessly snagged some of those, too. Oops. I wasn't super hungry after apps, so I went with the Corn Risotto (as did my brother-in-law, who is a vegetarian). My nephew ordered the Delmonico ribeye, one niece had the Cheeseburger with potato wedges (it came with two patties), and everyone else had the filet mignon, with assorted sides. I am pretty sure we all joined the Clean Plate Club that night. I wish I had more photos of the entrees, because they were beautiful, but.... I got involved in conversation, and you know how it goes. Harrison brought out a slice of salted caramel cheesecake to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, compliments of the restaurant, which was a lovely and sweet touch. Harvest & Reel is a wonderful restaurant, perfect for intimate dinners and special occasions. Thank you for such a wonderful time! read more

Fantastic restaurant in the Embassy Suites! We got in at around 8PM on Sunday and was thankful that this place stays open til 10PM which means dinner is only an elevator ride away. We were immediately seated. I requested a booth so we could have more room and be isolated from the other guests. They do practice social distancing, staff wore masks and they sanitized each table well. I ordered a glass of cabernet and my husband had some unsweetened tea. He wasn't super hungry so we did not order an appetizer to share. Instead, I started with some leek soup. I thought it would come in a small bowl but was pleasantly surprised when a huge, steaming bowl of soup came to the table. It was delicious. You can definitely taste the leek. There were some little chunks of potatoes as well and a bit of crispy onions on top. For my main course, I ordered the fresh catch which was mahi simply but deliciously seasoned with some salt and fresh ground pepper served with some haricot verts. Wow! It was so tasty and amazing! My husband had the scallops and he enjoyed his meal as well. We did not order dessert because we were both full and tired and just wanted to get up to our room and pass out but I would love to dine here again before our trip is over so hopefully I get to! read more

We were excited about the restrained menu at H & R. We had a late dinner after the rush had cleared out. Looking for a vegetarian option, I ordered the Butternut Squash Risotto. Sadly it was not good at all. Mushy, pile, end-of-the-night dish is what was delivered. It tasted precooked and there were maybe 5 very dry pieces of squash on top that also tasted like they were cooked much earlier than served. My husband had a steak cooked to perfection. We started off with Calamari. It was a bit chewy, but had good flavor. Staff was very nice, but I would recommend the restaurant attend to quality late in the evening. 86 that Risotto if you don't plan to serve it fresh late in service. read more

Wait staff is inexperienced. They mistook the Riesling ordered and delivered a piñon noir. We were seated promptly even though it was thanksgiving. Our table had to be an extra because all around were perfect wooden tables. Ours was scratched, off color and wobbled. But we let it pass. A pitfall is when asked would you like sparking or still water and you are given an $8 bottle of water. Tap would have been fine but be careful how you phrase your requests! We ordered from an impressive menu and my husband had the Delmonico ribeye. It comes with fingerling potatoes the steak came perfectly cooked. I ordered the halibut cooked blackened with olive oil and lemon and the chef was able to accommodate my dairy free request. It came with a risotto and cranberry side. The fish was cooked perfectly but wasn't blackened and I had to ask for lemon. I also ordered a side of rosemary fries that came with a tiny side of onion relish. The fries were the best I've had, crispy, not oily. This was such a great side that I asked for another onion relish. I could have eaten the fries as a main course! My issue was the cost of the fish. It was a 4 ounce piece for $35. A bit steep I think. The server tacked on a $.50 charge for the extra onion relish. I do think that the chef had a very heavy hand on salting of the food. The room was a bit loud as it was an open space next to the bar. Since it was thanksgiving there were few options for dinner. The restaurant is located in the Embassy Suites hotel. This is a massive establishment where you must valet your car. We saved the tip as the valet handed us the keys and disappeared. Overall it was a good meal but still some minor glitches detracted from the overall experience. Kudos to Tori who was very personable and chatted with us. Guess he was the host. Lobby and outside was beautifully decorated for the holidays. read more

The place is convenient; that's for sure but for ambience and food selection leaves something to be desired. We mainly went here because we didn't have a lot of time; but it was okay. Nothing special and a lot of people just dragging in from the pool. I think it sells or markets itself as being somewhat upscale; but it's not. It's a standard hotel restaurant, so as long as you are okay with that you will be fine. read more

The restaurant is located inside the Embassy Suites Hotel on St. Augustine Beach, a beautiful setting and location. The service was outstanding from our server Annalise. We started with the calamari appetizer, which was delicious and very big. I had the scallops entree, which was also very good and a large portion. My husband had the filet, which he gave a 5 star rating. This was our first visit to the hotel and the restaurant, but we will definitely be back. read more

Good food with great views in a relaxing atmosphere in St Augustine. Great place to bring out of town guests.

It's hotel food! Really not interesting and for sure everything seemed like it had been frozen. The only good thing was the Caesar salad, it was real salad cut in halves. Our bread basket had stale bread. I would suggest you walk down the street. read more

I'm not kidding about the bread... so good... totally worthwhile Pittsburgh Rare is sometimes called Black and Blue read more

Came here for dinner while staying at Embassy Suites! We have eaten here when the hotel first opened up and can't quite remember how the food tasted, so we made sure to try it again on our visit!! The restaurant was empty which was pretty surprising since the hotel was pretty busy! We were seated immediately, our waiter was very attentive and was great with the kids! Once our food arrived, it all looked and tasted really good. (Not pictured) but the creamed spinach was my absolute favorite!! Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the kids' meals were yummy (so they said)! On our next trip to St. Augustine we will be dining here again! read more

This is certainly a date night spot! The Vibe & Swag of this location is great. First thing: parking is challenging. They do have valet parking for a price or you can park by the pier and if you can find anything. We choose the valet. Which we were surprised that they were offering valet due to the pandemic but we were fine with it. The lobby is nice, big and gorgeous! The bathrooms are very clean (btw i threw a pic of the bathroom because of how nicely clean it was) which is rare. Staff is great on site! Our hostess sat us down quickly! We made reservations for 6pm, but it didn't pick up with people until 8pm. Our waitress was very sweet and great! She served us well. (Not sure if her name was Ashley or something with a A) but she was great. We were on a double date so we got our appetizers and shared. The calamari was chewy in my opinion but the breading was really tasty. The artichoke dip was really tasty and creamy. I will order that again. My friend had the Delmonico Steak ($44, 16oz)- she gave some and it was perfectly cooked and juicy with amazing flavors. My wonderful wife has the Squash Risotto. I wasn't expecting anything from this dish but wow this was so good- we added shrimp to the dish for $10 more. I do think this dish is a bit overpriced, but it was really good. My friend and I did the pork chop with cornbread- this is a dish that I will come back for. 10oz bone-in pork chop was great and a huge deep pan corn bread piece is served with it. The pork chop is coated with BBQ. It was not dry and compliments to the chef for cooking it perfect and keeping it juicy and flavorful. We ended off the night with some nice desserts. The chocolate cake was very rich and ou read more

We ate breakfast here every day of our stay; and, the food was terrific. There are typical offerings on the buffet; and, custom omelets at the chef station. In the back, there are juices, and soft drinks; a variety of bread and pastry items (including donuts!); and, a tip jar that is well-hidden. The oatmeal and the grits were standouts for me and my wife, as we had them each morning we dined in. The first day, the oatmeal was the best I'd ever had in my life, with a wide variety of toppings that made customizing the bowl easy and flavorful. When we ordered omelets, we tipped the chef; and, at the end of our stay we tipped the staff that bussed the tables. The restaurant manager keeps a keen eye on things; and, signs in the lobby indicate the hours and wait times to expect in the morning. My wife and I noticed they had a wine dinner scheduled in late-March, which will probably be postponed. But, we seriously considered coming up for the weekend just for the dinner event! read more

We had the best experience here tonight. I ordered the Smokey pineapple cocktail, the 6oz filet with scallops and crispy brussell sprouts; and the flourless chocolate torte. All were delicious. As shared appetizers, we ordered the artichoke dip and the tomato burrata salad. Again, delicious. I completely blanked on our servers name but she had red hair and she was perfect. The manager we met was delightful as well. I will be back soon! read more

Staying at the hotel so had a to go order. I regularly eat calamari and this is quite legit. So tender and crispy with great sauce. It's a must order! Spring salad with figs and manchego cheese is worth an order as well. Burger is a burger. Thankful that the kids menu includes a fish and fruit option. Thanks for a will be back for sure!! read more

Wow! Normally food in a hotel isn't the best, but WOW was the food here delicious! Their ribeye with grilled onions & potatoes were my favorite for 2 of the 3 nights I stayed. The scallops & shrimp were flavorful & cooked perfectly. Staff is friendly & the restaurant is super clean! read more

It's really good but overpriced. Chicken wings were $3/each, so we passed. There is no chicken wing worth more than $0.75 ea, most are $0.25 to $$0.50 ea. The grouper was very good. Everything was so so they used Sysco foods for most everything. We spent $1,500 a day for Sysco? read more

Shout out to Tory! He was very personable and an excellent server. He became our local friend during our stay! Food was excellent as well. The $5 bread basket was the hidden gem on the menu--Artisan bread served with a combo of European butter and the best olive oil was phenomenal! Calamari, artichoke dip and Brussels sprouts were also the best I've ever tasted. Fresh catch Mahi with mango chutney was delicious! Highly recommend this place! read more

We tried to eat here but due to the help issue or availability of help the outside dinning area as closed even though we made reservations for the outside someone could have called us.

By far one of the best places to eat a nice dinner in St Augustine! Our server, Anna was absolutely sweet and provided an amazing guest experience.

Go here. Don't concern yourself with that fact that it's in a hotel. We are staying at the hotel which hosts this restaurant and the food quality had met or exceeded the quality of every restaurant we've been to on our trip. We've chosen to eat here for meals or appetizers three times on this trip. All amazing. Drinks are great. Food is great. Service is great. Tonight we had a sit down dinner (rather that dinner or apps at the bar). Service was excellent. (Thank you Analiza and team). Food was plentiful and delicious. Appetizer was their take on roasted Brussel sprouts. Perfect. Lori had apps for dinner. Crab cake (second time she's had it) would make someone from Maryland ecstatic. Caesar salad was huge and delicious. Homemade dressing and presented wonderfully. I had a Turkey club with cranberry Mayo and multigrain bread which was literally the best Turkey club I've ever had. We saw more formal entrees being delivered to other diners that made our mouths water. Based on our experience, I doubt you would be anything but thrilled with a meal here!!! read more
