    Had an amazing meal here last night. We sat outside and they had live music which was amazing. The seating outside had fans that were very nice as well. The service was great. We got our cocktails fast and they were delicious and well poured. Our waitress's christina (2 of them) were very kind and attentive. My husband loved his fish tacos and I got the special of the day which was to die for.

    Caribbean Salad with honey lime dressing
    Rachel G.

    I stopped into OC White's around 6:30pm on a Sunday to order the Caribbean salad and bruschetta to go and sat at the bar with a water while I waited. The female bartender was really friendly and kind. My food was ready in under five minutes, which was such a nice surprise after a long day. I'm usually really basic about salad dressing and was a little unsure about the honey lime dressing with all the toppings, but I took the plunge and it ended up being really good and went perfectly with the fruit and nuts. The Caribbean salad was super fresh and delicious (even when I had the second half the next night!), and the bruschetta was great too. Very crunchy! They have a free parking lot for restaurant customers, which makes it an easy choice in busy St. Augustine. I'd definitely order from here again.

    It was another very busy weekend in Saint Augustine when we were all looking for a place to eat dinner. Being a group of seven it's hard to accommodate well and OC White's did it with grace and ease. We were seated right away. Our server was very attentive and amazing. We started out by ordering a drink, and they were very good. What we liked most is that they had a selection of a specialty drinks, which made our visit unique. They were all scrumptious. What was even better was our dinner. The fish tacos were very, very good. The fish was tender, and it was not covered with a bunch of batter. It was flaky well cooked and paired well with the mango salsa, served on top. The crabcakes and the clam chowder were all delicious. This is a place that I will revisit every time I come to Saint Augustine because they made seating easy. . . Something that is hard to find in this area. Oh, and they had a live guitar and singer outside, which was a super nice touch.

    Calamari
    Chris C.

    Very nice atmospheres and a warm welcome, with an offer sit outside during the week. Server was prompt and familiar with the days specials and didn't waste any time taking our orders. Started with a standard Fried Calamari, that was served at a good temp and plentiful. Unfortunately it was a bit bland. Next was a nice cup of New England Clam Chowder, that was very flavorful but slightly thicker than I prefer. Fried Flounder Sandwich was good flaky and not greasy, served with seasoned French Fries, which are a big NO in my book. I want to taste the potato and not a mix seasoning profile. Great ambiance and setting with great service well priced for good food.

    Conch fritters are delicious good size very tasty! We also had the fish and chips with Mahi - wow tasted great. We had a lovely server Barbie. She was attentive and kind. Ambience is both fun, you can watch sports or sit outside and enjoy the beautiful bay view. Would definitely recommend and return.

    We had been here 9 months ago and sat outside on their shady patio and enjoyed it. However, we had never seen the inside of the restaurant. Today we decided to return for lunch and sit inside because it was way too hot to sit outside again. We arrived fifteen minutes before they officially opened but the parking lot attendant was nice enough to let us park and escorted us inside the restaurant. They kindly seated us anyway and our friendly server, Julian, got us some waters. The menu has plenty of good sounding appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. They also had three lunch specials. I went with the shrimp melt sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. It came on a soft hoagie roll and had shrimp, garlic, tomatoes, arugula, and melted provolone cheese. A side of seasoned fries was also included. My husband had the fresh catch sandwich. His choices of fish were Mahi, salmon, flounder or cod. He chose the blackened flounder and really enjoyed it. My mother in law had fish and chips. She also got to choose between Mahi, salmon, cod or flounder. She chose the cod and said it was very fresh. The restaurant has both upstairs and downstairs dining, as well as an upstairs outside balcony. I have a feeling we will be back again.

    We were looking for a spot to grab some seafood and saw this in the distance so decided to try it. Now being in St Augustine the prices are not going to be cheap and they weren't here. The portions were very small too unfortunately. I will say though that everything tasted fresh ! My mom and I split the fish and chips and the Cod fish was amazing . The fries were really good too. We ended up getting green colored mimosas which was a fun touch to our lunch. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day and the outside seating is very pretty . Tons of tables and greenery. Our server was attentive and nice.

    Came here for dinner while visiting the area. The location is fantastic, spacious outdoor patio with live music and plenty of seating indoor in the two story restaurant. The parking validation they offers is also hard to come by for the area. Even though they were very busy, our wait was only 15 mins, which was very reasonable compared to other near by spots. Our server was friendly. I ordered the fish&chips with catch of the day, mahi mahi. The fish was tender, and clearly freshly made. Over all I'd definitely recommend this place!

    We enjoyed the live music as we waited for a table. It was really busy, but after about 40 minutes we were seated. The seafood here was delicious. For the appetizer, we ordered the bruschetta, which was a little heavy on the balsamic, but was otherwise good. For dinner we ate the bronzed salmon, which was basically a Cajun crusted salmon. We loved the flavor and the slight spice at the end. We also got the fish and chips, which were light and flaky. The atmosphere itself was lovely and inviting. We would have liked to be upstairs, but maybe that's just for bigger parties. Either way, on a busy Saturday, this was a great option!

    This was our first time here and we LOVED it! The service, the ambiance, the food, the live music, the outdoor seating area, all were AMAZING! Everyone thought their meals were great and they even have $3 hard ciders. We might become regulars.

    Cod sandwich

    Great service and nice patio seating. Inside basic bar with bar seats. Hamburger was very good and cod sandwich excellent. Would recommend. On Trolly stop.

    I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable place to get dinner! Everything was tasty and fresh, service was fast, and our server Lauren was very friendly with great recommendations and a considerate touch. With the exception of the calamari and white sangria, everything we had was a specia/not on the regular menul, but I feel confident saying taking a shot with them. Live music and ambience on the patio make this a fantastic choice in downtown to grab a bite for dinner!

    Great place to eat

    Ok, so I'm from Chicago and Naples where there a lot of great chefs and restaurants just about everywhere. Also catered food and had a wedding dessert company.

Our mixologist was named Talon; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He started by asking us what we usually like to drink (spirits and flavor profiles). 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. Talon came back over to ask us what options we'd like for our second round or drinks, so we all went with something different than the first order. Every cocktail he served us was really good and based on our individual tastes and preferences. I wish I lived in the area because I would go to Odd Birds regularly. The night we were there, they had a secret disco going on in the main dining area which sounded like a fun idea. I loved everything from the drinks, food, and interior decor. The Charlotte 33 Speakeasy area has a very pretty atmosphere as well.

Very high ceilings and though there were plenty of diners, it was overly loud. Great spot to enjoy the company you are with! Our server was top notch, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly but not trying to monopolize our table talk. We started with Cocktails which were all great. I went classic Old Fashioned, presentation AND taste were on point. We split the Crab Beignets order of 4. The breading on them was light and fluffy, the Crab tasty and they were cooked appropriately, no burns or underdone spots. For our main course, we elected to split 2 of the specials of the day so they may not be there when you go, but judging by the quality of the specials, any dish would be great. We had the Caesar Salad (which is like calling the Queen Mary2 a "boat"!). It is next level, 7 minute eggs, homemade croutons, Anchovie forward, all good! We also split an order of Shrimp Cake Sliders. These were huge, and the slaw that accompanied was the perfect match to the shrimp without overwhelming them. For dessert we settled on the Pineapple cake which also had coconut and all kinds of wonderful flavors going on! A really outstanding meal from beginning to end!

The Ice Plant location was historically St. Augustine's first power and ice complex. Now the building has been revitalized and has The Ice Plant and The St. Augustine Distillery. The St. Augustine Distillery is connected to The Ice Plant and is a great tour to check out right before heading to grab food at the restaurant. There are a variety of guided and self-guided tours. My spouse and I checked out the self-guided tour right before we grabbed dinner at The Ice Plant. The tour isn't particularly long but was filled with information. After the tour, we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The restaurant feels really spacious with its super tall ceilings. There was lots to look at reminding us of the previous use of the building. We ordered the hand cut fries, strawberry and beet salad, and the gochujang marinated pork chop. I also ordered a few of their drinks, each one featuring different types of ice to fit the drink. Honestly all the food and the drinks were so good, but the easy standout of the night for both my spouse and I were the pork chops. These might have been the best pork chops I've ever had in my life. The pork chops were incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. I was expecting it to be a little dry, as I feel like pork chop can sometimes get overcooked, but no. These were so juicy and tender. I asked our server how the pork chop was cooked. Our server said that the pork chops were cooked sous vide, which makes a lot of sense as to how they were so tender. I've already told my spouse if we are in the St. Augustine area again, I would make a special trip just to get these pork chops again, they were that good. I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was my favorite spot we checked out in the St. Augustine area, if you are ever passing by the area, check The Ice Plant out!

I ordered two side dishes to enjoy as I had a bigger breakfast (I regret now because this is one of those places I wish I could've had the whole menu) I ended up with their Mac & cheese and their deviled eggs. Their Mac & cheese was absolutely delicious. The cheeses they used complemented themselves together beautifully. The crispy outside and the cheesy inside. I genuinely loved every moment of every single bite. The deviled eggs are a new experience I have never had before. They really add their own twist to them with blue cheese and I normally don't fancy a blue cheese but they absolutely knew what they were doing because it complemented the yolk so well. It was such a unique flavor I've never gotten to experience with deviled eggs. And I will never forget it! With everything said in done. I will mention or waitress forgot about us and never brought the sauce I asked for or checked in on us. But again this place carried so heavily with the food that they could have thrown the food at me and told me to get lost and I probably would've left with a smile on my face.
