This place has a lot of history and the interior is warm and welcoming. We were able to be seated for lunch without reservation but it did seem to fill as we stayed. If your server asks do you want the "bread and butter"? The answer is YES. Bread is very good, crispy outside with a soft tasty interior. It is a great start to the meal. Part of the service here is the table prep on several items. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria, the red, which was mixed at the table and served in a beautiful pitcher. We all went with the half and half, Cuban sandwich and 1905 salad. The salad was prepped at the table and it was delicious! The half Cuban was good and there was plenty so I brought half of my "half" home and enjoyed the following day. Great meal, great experience!

I ordered a spinach and cheese empanada and it was very flavorful and my son got a piece of flon, which was a new experience for him. Although he didn't care for it, I did eat it the rest and i thought it was pretty good! Glad we stopped by but wish we had come here first!

The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.

I love grilled, spicy vegetables packed with flavor and this bowl was on point! Everything came together beautifully and was very filling. The water views are pretty and there is an adorable little market with fun goodies and swag to browse. Service was also good and made the experience even better.

The price of a single empanada is not listed, at check out my price was just as much as the meal, so I asked about making it a meal and the attitude just got worse. Unbiased to the service the empanadas are repulsive, flavorless beef filling and a crust that's twice as thick as the meat. (2) empanadas and (1) off brand bottle of water $21. Save yourself time and GO ANYWHERE ELSE, there is too much competition in St. Augustine for trash service and food.

Servers were friendly, a bit on the "chill" side but honestly just giving off the "island vibe". One thing to note, there appears to be and "indoor' type dining area and then a more outside, screened in type area. We accidentally entered to outside area and sat there before realizing this. It was a pretty pleasant evening and they did engage the fans out there but if it's a warmer period you might opt for Inside Dining. We had draft beer, the amber lager made for Mango Mangoes, Tasty and cold! Here's what is surprising, the menu is pretty varied but it's not so complicated that you get exhausted looking at it. Just enough to give everyone a choice and we were all about it. I had the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with seasoned fries as my side. Really good! I was worried the Chipotle treatment might be overwhelming the shrimp but it was pretty subtle and the shrimp came through. There are plenty of sauces and seasonings on the table if you want to amp up the experience! Others had the Daily special Reuben, which they thought was a pretty standard Reuben but VERY good and worth a return trip just for that. Another ordered the Corn Cake, entree version, 1 Cake and it was a large serving! Everyone left very happy and agreed this was a great choice!

As for the food, we had the conch fritters and cracked conch. I absolutely loved the cracked conch, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the fritters. It was a little too much breading and I wasn't a fan of the peppers inside of them. The cracked conch came with a sweet bbq sauce and it was really good, but their homemade hot sauce tasted a lot better! As for the entrees, we got the Mahi tacos which were fantastic. The Mahi was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The only downside was that the flour tortilla was very stale. A simple fix but it did really hold the dish back. The rice was also flavorful. I also got the shrimp Anastasia, which I would give a 1/5. I really did not enjoy it at all. The sauce/broth lacked flavor. The tomatoes and mushrooms just tasted unusual in the dish, and the prosciutto was out of place. The dish was incohesive and I could make better pasta at home. I wouldn't this dish again. However, the other dishes and atmosphere made up for my disliking of one dish.
