I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the experience my family and I had at…read moreyour St. George Street location. What should have been a pleasant dining experience turned into an extremely stressful and disappointing situation due to the unprofessional conduct of the manager on duty, Ms. Kale. Upon arrival, my family and I were instructed to wait outside, which we did patiently for nearly an hour. Despite this long wait, we were then seated in an extremely crowded area with no regard for comfort, space, or safety. This lack of organization created significant stress for us, especially given my current recovery from a broken femur and hip. Additionally, my elderly mother, who flew from another country to visit us, and my four children -- including one with special needs -- were placed in an environment that was unnecessarily overwhelming and preventable with proper management. What made the situation far worse, however, was the behavior of Ms. Kale. When we voiced our concerns politely, she responded with unacceptable rudeness. Instead of offering a professional apology or attempting to correct the situation, she dismissed our concerns and even laughed in our faces. This reaction was not only unprofessional but deeply disrespectful. It reflected a complete lack of leadership, empathy, and customer-care standards. It is clear that this location is focused on bringing in as many guests as possible for profit, yet management is failing to properly coordinate seating, resulting in overcrowding and poor guest experiences. A manager's role is to ensure smooth operations and address issues respectfully -- something that was clearly lacking under Ms. Kale's supervision. I hope that this complaint is taken seriously, as no family should be treated in this manner. I request that appropriate action be taken to address the behavior of the manager and to improve the overall management practices at this location. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to you seeing seeing to help improvements implemented so that other guests do not experience what we did.

The bar meanwhile was completely open and it is seat yourself. We both ordered chicken wings, extra crunchy with the whiskey rub on them. The rub is a little sweet, but we requested them to hit it lightly so that we didn't have as much sweetness on the wings. We also got an order of the pork rinds which are cooked fresh and you can ask for a dusting of the whiskey rub on those as well. They were very good, but they are a large order so definitely be prepared to share. I also got a cup of their beer cheese soup - I would not order it again. The texture was a little off for me and it felt like it was probably at the bottom of the cooker. The first bartender we had was OK, but felt like he was just going through the motions. The second bartender that took over our service was much friendlier and checked in on us periodically.

Our server, Colleen, told us the historic building used to be an opera house. We went for an early dinner on a Friday evening and the restaurant was packed. The menu has a little of everything and there is a huge bar with a long list of beers and a full array of liquor. We ordered drinks and asked for a few beer samples. A few of us chose beers and my husband had the "CYO" create your own old-fashioned with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Demerara and black walnut bitters for $15. He said it was terrific! We also ordered the County Line Boiled Peanuts which were really good, and enough for the 4 of us to share for just $7.00! Everyone enjoyed their main courses as well. I had the Black N' Bleu salad, $25. It was full of perfectly cooked steak and Bleu cheese crumbles, as well as fresh spring mix, multicolored tomatoes, picked onions and peppers. Yummy! My husband had the PK Burger which came with an egg on top. He enjoyed his as well and said that the burger patty itself was delicious. He also had a fresh side salad so it came to $22. Our server, Colleen, was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Prohibition Kitchen and I will be back the next time I'm in the St. Augustine area.

I am visiting from out of town and, after hearing so many rave reviews, was excited to get to visit…read morethe Floridian tonight. We were seated in a large dining area with soft lighting. Our booth was next to a wall with several paintings containing various sailboats. As I looked at the menu, I realized there were several tasty looking options. The burger had pimento cheese which sounded AWESOME. Man. My mouth was watering just thinking about it. Came with a free side too. But another menu item caught my eye. A dish called the "N'Waffles." This is where things took a sharp turn. I began going back and forth in my mind - weighing the potential pros and cons of each dish. The burger was, well, a burger. And the "N'Waffles" was cornbread and meat with ricotta. Sounded a bit more novel maybe? The waiter came back, and, when I am trying to decide between two things, I always impulsively order one of them at the last second. Before I even knew what I had decided, I heard "N'Waffles" coming out of my mouth. No one talks about how weird it feels to say that word out loud, by the way. I asked the waiter if I should get chicken or pork BBQ. After hesitating for a second, he said the pork. So, I went with the pork. He walked away, and I was flooded with regret. Should I have ordered the burger? Should I have got the chicken? Could I track down the waiter and revise my order? Instead, I silently accepted my fate. As I was waiting, I felt a foreign object in my eye. I blinked and blinked but to no avail. I had to go to the bathroom three times to try to rinse it out. Each time, I accidentally bumped into the table of this couple sitting next to us. Nice bathroom, but not great lighting for trying to get something out of your eye. Never did get it out. The "N'Waffles" arrived at our table. I looked down to a pile of meat on a waffle, all covered in copious amounts of sauce. I mean no offense to the institution, because I actually like it, but it did not look appetizing. It also smelled like a wet dog. I grimaced and tried to remain positive. My stomach growled as I thought about that delicious burger...pimento cheese...green tomato..mmm. But that's not what I was eating - I was eating a pile of meat drowned in sauce on a cornbread waffle. Listen. I know some people like stuff like this, but it's just not for me. Even though I had something stuck in my eye and I had slop on a waffle for dinner, I still had a great time. The waiter was nice. They were playing some good indie music which I appreciated. I liked the sailboats on the walls. And I bet that burger was gooood. All in all though, I left a bit disappointed. Disappointed, but determined. Determined to learn from my mistakes. Listen kids, don't second guess yourself. Go with what your gut tells you first and don't change it. This is true for multiple choice questions, relationships, and food choices. You know what you want more than you realize. And maybe don't order something called the "N'Waffles." I would still recommend this place. You should totally go.

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!

I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Long waits are common for this spot. The interior is the old Ice Plant so it has great character. Not super large so limited dining spots within. 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!

This French restaurant is located in a charming 3-story historic Jefferson house, once owned by Thomas Jefferson's great-granddaughter, Maria Jefferson Eppes Shine. The restaurant is on the first floor, with the entrance tucked away in the back. They have parking in the back. The second and third floors are home to a cozy Bed and Breakfast. We arrived right at 6 p.m. and were seated at a special table by the window. The restaurant isn't huge, but it has a lovely atmosphere. Renee was our server and treated us to a complimentary champagne for the occasion. She explained the menu and the specials. The Chefs Dinner Menu was fascinating, but unfortunately, I don't eat lamb. The menu changes frequently, so I'll definitely check it out again in the future and pair it with the optional Sommelier's wine pairing. There are so many wonderful choices, but I finally decided on the Bouillabaisse, remembering all the positive comments on Yelp. When my order arrived, it was presented on a large platter with a gorgeous display. It tasted as good as it looked, with the lobster eyes staring at me. It was a whole lobster, conveniently cut, which made it easier to eat. The combination of lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams in a saffron-flavored broth was amazing. I'm so glad I chose it. My husband opted for the Steak au Poivre with Pomme Aligot. It's mashed potatoes with melted cheese, butter, and cream. The texture was a bit tougher than regular mashed potatoes, but still delicious. I tasted his filet, and it was so tender. He loves the poivre sauce on his steak. Renee recommended all the wines we picked. We started with the complimentary Frederic Chopin Brut Blanc de Blanc, and we really liked it, so we ordered more. For my meal, I had the Barbebelle Rosé, and my husband had the Peyrassol Merlot Syrah blend. Both wines complemented our meal perfectly. We did run into an issue with my Bouillabaisse, as it was a bit too salty. The manager, Parnos, came and apologized and had the chef prepare a new batch for me. They fixed the problem right away. I'm really impressed with the service, the amazing food, and the beautiful restaurant that's now La Nouvelle. They even gave me an amazing dessert with a birthday candle for free! It had a chocolate center, a crispy crust, whipped cream topping with chocolate morsels. La Nouvelle was outstanding in so many ways, making my birthday super special.

We started with the Chili-Lime Shrimp, and that dish alone set the bar high. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and coated in a spicy chili-lime garlic sauce that had just the right kick. The miso butter emulsion and sweet soy tied everything together with a rich, slightly sweet finish. The Poke Tuna was fresh and vibrant--sashimi-grade ahi tossed in a cashew-citrus ponzu with red onion, cucumber, and seaweed salad. The fried wontons added a nice crunch that balanced the dish beautifully. The Mediterranean Pizza was a pleasant surprise. The combination of green olives, spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, and garlic worked really well together on a crisp crust, giving you a savory bite with a hint of tang. The Surf & Turf Fried Rice brought bold flavors to the table. Tender beef tips and shrimp sauteed in a spicy chili glaze over vegetable fried rice, finished with fried garlic, chili oil, miso butter, and sweet soy--it was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked just right--tender and juicy--paired with creamy mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a decadent truffle sauce that elevated the whole dish. Beyond the food, the service truly stands out--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel taken care of throughout the entire meal. They also offer an excellent selection of wines, beers, and spirits, along with a solid dessert lineup that's worth saving room for. To top it all off, there's plenty of parking available, which is always a bonus in a busy dining area. Overall, this place nails the balance between great food, inviting service, and a fun, energetic atmosphere. Definitely a spot you'll want to revisit.
