Weekend Special!
Dawne F.

This Kitchen & Craft Bar seamlessly blends unique and eclectic flavors, with innovative dishes that highlights the best of coastal cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Located just steps from the sandy shores of St. Augustine Beach, and my hotel room, this light-filled eatery invites guests to indulge in their creative comfort fare & seasonal specials that captures the essence of Florida's culinary landscape. The inviting breezy atmosphere is enhanced by the warm and friendly staff, like Barb & Josephine, providing attentive service that complements the delicious food offerings...which, brekkie was my favorite. The restaurant features both indoor & outdoor seating and a bar serving fresh-pressed juices, local spirits and craft beers...making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the picturesque coast. Let's get crafty?

Found this place last minute on Christmas Day so you can imagine the mission. I was able to get a reservation for my whole family. The food and service was phenomenal my family enjoyed it so much. This really made our Christmas trip very special. Pictured is the delicious dessert I had. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a picture of my main course but I order the chicken and it was perfect.

I had the blackened shrimp Po Boy and my wife had the crab cakes, which were quite good, but I was a little disappointed with the Calamari. The service was fast and friendly. They have a fair selection of draft beers and they're good and cold, but a little bit pricey.

Fried pickles- yummy

Enjoying happy hour at Santiago's Florida Kitchen at the Guy Harvey hotel. Happy hour in the bar runs from 4 to 7. Started with a couple of draft beers and their fried pickle appetizer (special price at happy hour). Came out nice and hot. Our waitress brought out regular and datil pepper sauce (the datil was yummy not too hot). The other appetizer specials look good (yep always fun to look at the plates of food as the staff walks past your table). Had planned on ordering a dinner but we must admit we had a couple of beers and after the appetizer just didn't have room for a big dinner. So I ordered a side salad and we split the chicken sandwich. Only negative the fries could have been hotter. Friendly staff. Good food. We arrived at 4 pm and when we left they had a nice crowd.

Datil Fried Flounder Sandwich - looks good, but wasn't.

I really wanted to like this place, but IMO, The food was just not good. This restaurant is located in the lobby of the Guy Harvey resort. The restaurant is not very big, but it does have a full bar and a handful of local craft draft offerings. I ordered the Datil Fried Flounder Sandwich, which came with sides of fries and coleslaw. When it was delivered to the table it was a nice presentation, however that's where it ended. The bun was not the freshest. The two pieces of fried flounder looked huge, but it was mostly breading and air with two very thin pieces of fish. The fish also had an old grease flavor to it. The fries were of the frozen variety and were not very tasty and the coleslaw was awful, it had to be made a couple days prior as it was mushy and not at all flavorful, I couldn't eat it.

Shrimp Poke Bowl

Santiago's was in the lobby of the hotel I stayed at, so I gave it a try! I found myself eating at Santiago's not for just the convenience, but because food was delicious! The first night we ordered the calamari. It was drenched in a sweet and savory sauce. I believe it's bang bang sauce and teriyaki sauce or sesame. Amazing taste! Breakfast is great because they give you a big portion which is a good way to start the day especially when you're traveling. I also tried the poke bowl which was yummy! Service was nice, overall friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean, they have outdoor seating- a patio with lights and nice tables, which was very popular. I sat inside all times, my preference, and it was very pleasant. I recommend Santiago's!

Manolin sandwich and fries
Scott F.

We based our visit on yelp reviews and pictures. Yelp has helped us more times than I can count to find good places. The lunch we had was good but the service seemed kinda slow. Since we are on vacation it wasn't a big deal, but still would have made the experience better not to sit so long My wife had the fish sandwich with a side of slaw and I had the Manolin sandwich. It was piled high with ham, pulled pork, and salami, with mustard and pickle and Swiss cheese. ( think Cuban sandwich). They have a dog friendly patio and an osprey has built a nest in the parking lot on top of a light pole. Don't forget to look up!

I was visiting from out of town and was craving seafood. I'm so glad I chose this spot because it…read morewas perfect! The weather was beautiful so my daughter and I sat outside. There was a live band playing cover songs and that was super fun listening to. There is a big fire pit in the middle, and the outdoor area is spacious. I ordered the seafood boil to share with my 5 yr old daughter and we both loved it! Service was great, no complaints at all. I had one drink , the linen drink which was gin based- it was delicious. Great spot, would love to go here again and bring my husband next time we are in town!

We just returned from what should have been a nice dinner and are still trying to wash the taste…read moreout of our mouths. From bow to stern (nautical theme here) this was just a bad experience across the board! Our waiter had zero personality and acted as if he really didn't want to be there, the food was bad, and the cost was far more than the value provided. A rainy Sunday night and not very crowded - maybe 4 - 5 tables, but somehow our food managed to get lost in the kitchen and we waited way too long for food that was (in my case) completely inedible. My wife ordered the fresh catch halibut dinner grilled, and I ordered a blackened grouper sandwich. Both entrees were heavily salted; my wife tried to wipe the seasoning off her filet, which was at least decent sized. My sandwich contained the thinnest, saltiest piece of fish I'd ever been served, and I only managed a couple bites before giving up. My wife's filet wasn't fully cooked, and since we weren't eating sushi-grade fish, my wife was concerned about that. When she told our waiter he barely glanced at her plate and his response was "That's cooked. Some people are just finicky about the texture." "Finicky??" Are you sh**ing me?? How about saying "I'm sorry, would you like me to have it cooked more?" She also pointed at my sandwich and said that it was so salty I couldn't eat it, and all he said was "I'll be back." At least he didn't tell me I was being "finicky". The manager came over shortly after and explained that our server told him we weren't pleased with our meal. My wife explained the issues and his response "Too salty? I know who that is. One of our guys over-salts a lot. I'll talk to him." He then apologized and offered to get us something else, but I declined and said I was done. He vaguely pointed at our food and said he would "discount it". While we waited for the bill my wife took what was left of her fish to the house cat sitting on the patio, and the cat wouldn't even eat it! I'm sorry Mr manager, but if you know that one of your employees has issues with preparing food correctly... either educate them or replace them! Don't apologize and admit you're aware of bad food coming out of your kitchen! And then the topper - our bill came and a whopping $13.50 was discounted from almost $90! He didn't even take off the full cost of my sandwich which was still sitting on my plate! We usually try to give benefit of the doubt to restaurants, but this experience was bad enough that we both agreed we will NOT return. This is a prime example of why zero stars should be allowed!

The deck is covered and there are fans and windows so it did not get hot. The food was great! Bang bang shrimp wasn't spicy at all, had a nice tangy flavor, and the shrimp was tasted super fresh. The crab bisque fries were crispy and the bisque tasty. The lobster ravioli was SO good. I usually do not like cheese with seafood but this worked perfectly. It was creamy, savory, slightly sweet from the crab and shrimp cheese sauce it comes in which perfectly complemented the very stuffed lobster ravioli. The fish and wedges were really good too. Fish was meaty and crispy, wedges tasted roasted instead of fried and the coleslaw was creamy, crunchy and sweet. As a bonus, the tartar sauce was good too. Our server (Josh?) was very attentive, polite, friendly and quick. The menu isn't huge but I would come back if I'm in the area again. There are some coupons available as well for lunch in those travel pamphlets at the hotels.

Friendly, attentive, efficient and professional. She made our experience here seamless and very enjoyable! You couldn't ask for better service. She gave great food recommendations. Also, Jeff (the manager) stopped by our table, took the time to chat with us and made us feel right at home. We appreciated the old-school St. Augustine Southern hospitality that has been lost since the inevitable growth of the area. You definitely can't go wrong with their Fried Shrimp and Chicken Wings (loved the flavors of that buttery Garlic Parm)! Both seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ample outside seating steps away from the beach, feeling the breeze off of the Atlantic Ocean, a truly laid-back atmosphere, sunburnt tourist watching and counting all the Jeeps heading out to brave the soft sand while enjoying an ice cold beer or sweet tea...so priceless.

She started us out with baked oysters and they were good, but it was too much bacon and cheese for me personally. It overwhelmed the oyster flavor, but if you're trying oysters for the first time or wanna please a picky group then these are good. My daughter got the stuffed flounder with corn casserole as we called it, as her side. It was delicious! Probably the best thing ordered! Tacos and kids grilled fish was great too! Definitely a solid amount of fish nuggets in the taco. The fries were some of the best ive ever had. For the seafood feast, we ordered scampi style and it was good, but it reminded me of a clam sauce style, not really buttery and garlicky. It was still good, but what disappointed me was the melted plastic bag served at the table. It was difficult to open, even our server had trouble opening. Idk why everyone loves serving food in plastic bags. It's sooo hot from the steam that plastic leaches into the food. I don't get the infatuation with this, unless you're ordering to go. The fans upstairs are a nice and necessary touch and not too hot up there, despite being summer in July. I would go back and order the stuffed flounder again! Seriously, that was the best thing we ordered. Ashley was johnny on the spot too!
