    Sunset Grouper with Black Beans & Rice, Gouda Grits
    Robert L.

    This is one popular place, we got here right at dinner prime time, but only had to wait about 10 min to get in. They also have a bar area which is first come first serve. Huge bar with plenty of drinks and beers. They have TVs all over the place, so you can easily catch the big games. Plenty of seating, even rooftop, which was packed and a long wait. The food was tasty, not amazing, but good. My fish was overcooked, but the delicious grits made up for it. The tortellini was good, as was the coconut shrimp. The fiesta fish bowl was just okay, over cooked fish again. Overall it was a good experience, and I can see why it's so hyped up here in St. Augustine.

    Bill and the waitress was pleasant.

    Stopped for a quick drink and snack. Regular margarita was substandard, tasted like cheap sour mix. Spicy Bloodmary was good but not spicy. Order of chicken wings, good flavor but needed to be crispy. Couple of draft beers 5.50 a piece a bit pricey for around here. Overall, nothing special, but will do if you have limited options. Waitress was nice.

    Clam chowder fries (must try)
    Mandy W.

    Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, everything was a hit! Omg the clam chowder fries were BOMB, we got them on a whim because we were cold and wasn't expecting them to be so addictive, no wonder they're award winning. I got the cheese tortellini entree, the alfredo sauce was super rich and flavorful. And of course I had to get the famous peanut butter pie that everyone says to try, soooo rich and you can tell that it's homemade.

    Coconut Shrimp dinner - includes 2 sides (pasta salad and sweet potato)

    Service is great. Waitress was attentive as well as the other workers. Food is ok. We had a large party and everyone felt the same regarding their food.

    Fried chicken sandwich

    If you're looking for that perfect beachside spot in St. Augustine, Sunset Grill never disappoints! The Sunset Salad is hands-down one of my all-time favorites--the fresh ingredients topped with their dreamy Key Lime dressing is pure coastal perfection. The food here is always quality, the portions are generous (trust me, you won't leave hungry), and the vibe is relaxed yet lively.Jessica is one of our favorite servers--always friendly, upbeat, and quick with a smile. The beers are icy cold, and if you're in the mood for something fun, their espresso martinis are absolutely delish. Between the consistently great food, the super clean atmosphere, and the laid-back beachy feel, I can honestly say I absolutely love this place. It's the kind of spot you can count on every single time.

    Sunset Oysters
    Mickael G.

    It was raining when we dined here so it is hard to rate the ambiance but overall it gave beach bar/restaurant. The food was amazing! The oysters were a stand out. The blackened fish and shrimp were great. Perfectly cooked baked potato. Our waitress was very attentive so I would give the service 10/10.

    Shrimp Scampi...strange color and flavor
    Erica C.

    3 Service- Host was busy but nice. Server was full of energy and helpful. Vibe- Fun eclectic vibe, ate outside in the top floor and it was nice, although a limited view on the side. Good- Crab and artichoke bisque was good- nice flavor. Seafood platter left a lot to be desired. Fish was great, however the shrimp were chewy and lacked any sort of flavor and were left behind. Shrimp scampi- it was brown. It was an odd and thick sauce. Fish sandwich- my son liked, crispy. Lobster Mac and cheese- macaroni was ok, lobster was not fresh and chewy. Also sadly left behind. We did not complain- too late in the day and were kinda over it. Just manage expectations.

    The outdoor area is seat yourself and I picked a high top table that allowed me to enjoy the nice breeze. Abigail was my server and answered my questions while also giving me suggestions. I started with the sunset oysters that were filled with spinach dip type of filling. They were flavorful and satisfied my craving for chargrilled oysters. I asked Abigail which fish she suggested between the grouper and the trigger. She said she likes the blackened trigger fish more and I took that suggestion. There are not a lot of side options, I selected the green beans and black beans with rice. I've never had trigger fish and didn't know what to expect. It has a similar texture to tilapia and the sauce on top gave an extra layer of flavor. The sides were ok, nothing to brag about. Next time I think I'll sit upstairs to enjoy the great view.

    Key Lime Pie yummy
    Rich G.

    Lunch at Sunset. Great food and friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Wife and I shared the chicken salad pita with fries. Yummy. Also shared their Key Lime ‍ pie so good. Yep it's a 5/5.

    Another perfect steak at the Sunset Grille Jessica B is and is always a great server. Psst when there's a long wait, go to the bar. The booths, tables and seating there is first come first served. I got the last NY Strip and haha good for me. Because that's what I go there for. The green beans were good and the baked potato perfectly baked. We really do plan our trip around this steak cause it is and I really mean it the best steak south of St Louis!!! Always something to watch, the TVs or drama at the bar LOL. Love the location, the decor, the food.

GOOD: Good size portions, reasonable prices, especially for cocktails. The same margarita would be $14 elsewhere. I had the "Wrap it up mango" tuna wrap with fried plaintains as my side. Plaintains were a big portion, so I took half home. The wrap was very tropical with fruit and sushi grade tuna. I ate it all, which was greedy of me, but I enjoyed it and felt overfull (my bad). Hubby had the clam and shrimp chowder and 2 apps. Very tender clams, thick texture and more shrimp flavor than clam, tasty for sure. Conch fritters good and in our top 5 (we get them everywhere and have been disappointed but now here). The wings were cooked perfectly, not heavy and crispy. The key lime flavor was good but too light. BAD: Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. The other servers seemed right on top of the other diners. 2 person tables are a bit too small if you order multiple appetizers. But nothing bad at all here.

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

Antique, rustic, comfortable, and full of enough character that you almost feel like you've stepped 200 years back in time. Then the drinks arrive, and suddenly you realize you've been transported into the future of cocktails. I wish I could remember the name of the drink I ordered because it was spectacular. Whiskey, a little sweetness, mint, and crushed ice. That's about all I can tell you. What I can tell you is that I could have happily consumed about 30 of them, tumbled down the stairs, and been perfectly happy about the whole experience. My wife went with the Mojito, and it was brilliantly constructed. The crushed ice and layered mint made it look almost too good to drink. Almost. The drinks absolutely deserve five stars. Then came the blue crab beignets, and they were spectacular. That's the kind of appetizer that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy enjoying what's happening. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to the cocktails. The fish dip was very average and lacked much flavor, and the menu itself felt pretty limited. So here's the deal: if you're coming to The Ice Plant for drinks, I would have no problem giving it five stars. The cocktails are that good. This is a highly recommended stop for a drink in St. Augustine. But I have to review the entire experience, and the limited menu and average fish dip bring the overall experience down a notch. Four stars. Come for the drinks. Stay for the atmosphere. Definitely order the blue crab beignets. And if you happen to find yourself three cocktails deep, admiring the antique decor while contemplating the stairs, maybe just take your time.

One thing I love about this venue is their free shuttle system that takes you to your car (which is free parking) during the concerts. The venue is on the smaller side so it feels more intimate for the artists. There are a few areas where seating is obstructed but they do mention that when buying tickets. One tough thing about this venue is the merch line usually tends to get MASSIVE and I have seen people miss a handful of songs while waiting in it if an artist takes the stage. Bathrooms are usually clean but they are scattered around so you may need to hunt for them. Drink prices are pretty reasonable and they usually have a drink of the night that is slightly discounted. They also have a reusable cup that you can bring throughout the night for a couple dollars off refills!
