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!

They recently reopened in…read moretheir new location, and the space is beautiful -- stylish, welcoming, aesthetically gorgeous, and just full of great energy. The service was excellent, and the food has that fresh, thoughtful, farm-to-table feel where you can tell care is going into what comes out of the kitchen. For me, one of the biggest highlights was how seriously they take gluten-free dining. I had warm, made-from-scratch gluten-free biscuits with pork belly and a peach bourbon jam, and oh my goodness -- absolutely to die for. Everyone at the table enjoyed them. It is not often that you find a gluten-free biscuit that feels like you are getting the full experience rather than settling for an alternative. I was also impressed by how many gluten-free options they offer. Even their po' boy can be battered with rice flour. Our waiter explained that the chef is gluten-free and that they are very mindful of guests with celiac disease, including separating food preparation when needed. That level of care is a huge plus. And it wasn't just the gluten-free food that impressed us. One friend ordered the meatloaf sandwich and received a seriously hearty piece of meatloaf. My husband had the BLT with pimento cheese on thick sourdough bread, and it was excellent. We also heard that the chicken and waffles, offered during dinner, are a must-try -- so that may be calling us back! The cocktail menu was another win. The drinks were creative, original, flavorful, and clearly thoughtfully crafted rather than just the standard options you see everywhere. Everyone in our group seemed genuinely happy with what they ordered, which says a lot. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, creative drinks, fantastic food, and some of the best gluten-free options I've come across. Five stars all the way. I would absolutely return to The Floridian and work my way through more of that gluten-free menu!

Compared with the previous location in the historic area, the new dining room is more spacious with most tables having at least one side with banquet seats. Parking is so much easier, and I think the food quality is better and more consistent than it used to be. This was our second visit to the new location and each time the food and service have been amazing. As always it's a great place for vegetarians and vegans with most items on the menu having vegetarian or vegan options. There is no shortage of great seafood and meat options too. They have local meat and seafood on the menu. There are also lots of gluten free options. We were celebrating our anniversary and the manager and our server were so nice and accommodating. There is a lot of outdoor seating under old live oak trees which will be amazing in the fall and spring. In August at least at lunchtime it would be far too hot to sit outside. For guests visiting from out of town, this is a great lunch stop before or after visiting the Alligator Farm!

My favorite cocktail is the chichimosa. While the s'mores on fire is a really nice show, the base is composed of traditional alfajores cookies. The parmesan ice cream is an interesting and tasty addition, however. -Salmon Civiche (Ceviche Nikkei): 4/5 -Anticuchos: 3.5/5 -Surf and Turf (Mar y Tierra): 5/5 -Seafood Paella (Arroz con Mariscos): 5/5 -S'mores on Fire: 4/5 Service: 4/5 The service is really good. The servers are knowledgeable of the menu and able to answer many specific questions. At times the service felt a little rushed, which is why I gave it a 4/5, but nothing to deter me from going again. Atmosphere: 5/5 It is truly a beautiful restaurant. The décor, the lighting, the cultural aspects on the wall, the different sections of the restaurant...all really contribute to a vibrant and authentic experience. They've recently expanded as well, and I was blown away. Value: 4/5 This is truly an experience. The pricing can be a little pricey, but I believe it is worth it. This is probably not a casual night out for dinner, but a nice date night, a celebration, or an elevated experience. Opportunities for Learning: 5/5 The menu has many traditional Peruvian options with unique twists. The menu maintains many of the Spanish names for the dishes, so the menu will have you googling. I first learned about the anticuchos cooking style at Llama, and I continue to learn every time I go back.

Wow... what an experience! This cute little place packs a BIG punch. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe staff was very welcoming and friendly. We had a reservation and they sat us right away. Reservations are usually required since they get full real quick. The server was kind and explained the menu and meal service to us. We started with specialty cocktails. Everything is hand made and fresh. You can taste the difference. We got some appetizers. Personally, my favorite was the yucca with the trio of dipping sauces. Each sauce was better than the last, and I wanted to continue eating each one long after it was done. The octopus was delicate and melted in your mouth. The flavor combos in the volcano dish were so wonderful. It was like chips and dip. I was most excited for my meal. The pesto pasta with the hanger steak. EVERY.THING.WAS.AMAZING in this dish. I was savoring each bite. Getting sad when I was reaching the end. The pesto was packed with flavor. Creamy and aromatic. The hanger steak?! Oh boy... perfectly cooked. Juicy. Melted in your mouth. I wanted a lot more of that. What a great piece of meat. I was reallllly looking forward to dessert. And it did not disappoint! I got the s'mores dessert. I love s'mores everything. And this was an elevated s'mores like I never had before. The presentation was WOW. The smore was in a bag that they lit on fire at the table. The fire charred the marshmallow on top perfectly. The Carmel on top of the delegate shortbeard was melt in your mouth. Those shortbeard cookies were incredible. Buttery and crumbly. Perfect. The strawberry compote to mix with it was fresh and bursting with flavor. All the flavors melding together to light your taste buds on fire! I would LOVE to return and try some more items. We had a wonderful experience!
