You MUST get the fried chicken! Its one of the best fried chicken dishes I have ever had: amazing…read morebatter, juicy dark meat, corn hoecake on the side with honey drizzle, and a perfect side of collard greens with nice big chunks of bacon. Ask for the gravy on the side. Exceptional dish! Their drinks are also really good. The bartenders know what they are doing. You won't go wrong with any cocktail, a glass of the house whiskey, or just asking them to get creative for you. Service is always excellent. Professional, friendly, attentive. Very well run. And the location is really cool - an old ice factory turned into a restaurant. Its industrial setting goes with the vibe. While the Saint Augustine trolleys cart people here, don't write this off as a tourist trap. It's one of the best restaurants in North Florida.

This has become one of our favorite lunch spots every time we're in town. The food is absolutely…read moredelicious and the drinks are amazing. This time was no different. We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. 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.

10/10 recommend. I didn't take one photo- I was far too busy with taking in the evening and all…read morethey had to offer. I wasn't crazy about valet parking, but life could be a lot worse. The view though. The view.... Staff, from the hostess stand to the busboys were very attentive and professional. I enjoyed watching everyone move about the restaurant with quiet purpose. It was all well put together. The food wasn't just good, it was ahhmazing. I got the Florida gumbo and honey rosemary salmon, my BF got the she crab soup and steak tips. He did say that was the best she crab soup he has EVER eaten and desperately begged me to try just a little taste, even though I can't have dairy. When he asked for a bite of my salmon I almost told him no, it was so good I didn't want to share. That was a first for both of us. Haha We are looking forward to going back.

Locals recommended this restaurant to us, and we're so glad they did! The views were stunning and…read morethe food was delicious. We arrived just before 5:30 on a Saturday without a reservation and were seated right away. By the time we left, the entire pier was packed with guests waiting for tables, so we were very glad we arrived when we did! No complaints about the food, drinks, or service. We ordered several different appetizers to share, and everything was delicious. Great atmosphere, beautiful views, and definitely a spot I'd recommend!
