    I suggested checking out The Modern Rose for the aesthetics and drink menu. This spot is incredibly Instagrammable, and the Aphrodi-Tea was very pretty as well as one of the best sips on the trip. I interacted with three members of staff, and they were hospitable from start to finish. I was most disappointed in the food menu, as I had browsed on the website, only to find that the actual menu on-site had less options and was more expensive. That was a bummer. My friend and I ordered a toast flight, which was decent...and not worth the steep price. If I was to return, I'd have a tea party and then go elsewhere for food.

    This quaint little restaurant was our destination before starting our exploration of St. Augustine. Greeted, seated and served by Marissa, our breakfast experience, the food and the service made for a great start of the day. Decor reminds me of a nicely accented tea room with ambiance fitting for an afternoon tea. All the dishes were delivered with attractive plating and flavorful in taste. Perfect place for entertaining guests or just personal pampering. Latte's looked great and tasted good. Omelet, croissant and bacon all well prepared. If you are looking for a treat make this your destination.

    A must see!  So many cute photo ops inside and out!

    Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Daniella and Melanie from Modern Rose on Friday night. Kudos to these female business owners and their absolutely stunning tea room. Every inch of the space inside and out is so pretty and ornate and well thought thru. Walking by the decor literally pulled us inside, even though it was past the dining hour. Melanie and Daniella showed us all the different rooms of their space and their menu as well. SUCH a cute place to host a girls night, birthday party, shower, or other gathering. The lighting and decor is sure to make your pictures pop, and the food sounded incredible. Can't wait to come back and dine here!

    We came over after church. This place is getting well known now after 1 year. All the food was very good. Waiter recommended the modern egg pizza and it was very good. He was correct but he had a bunch of orders mixed up and didn't listen to bring out Chocolate croissant out last. Brought it before my meal came out. I never found him when I asked for the check. Luckily the front desk man which I think was the owner brought it for me. As we were leaving waiter never even acknowledged us. Luckily everyone else was friendly. I wasn't going to let this ruin the 5 star. My wife got the French toast and love her latte. This place is so well decorated but they will be needing more room with the quality of their food. We waited 15 minutes for a table but the food here is worth the wait. We hope they will get better waiters or we have a better waiter experience.

    Wild and amazing breakfast experience

    This is the most unique dining experience ever! It's a value because of its one-of-a-kind experience. The customer care and perfection of the experience (food, atmosphere, service, quality, decor, and consistency) makes it worth every penny!

    We love it! Everything we ordered for breakfast was delicious. The waitress who served us was very attentive, and the atmosphere was very Victorian--very period-style; I loved the décor. We'll be back.

    Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and recommended the pistachio coffee. It was absolutely delicious--we're so glad I took her suggestion!

    I'm still so amazed at this place and honestly craving it as I type this! My boyfriend found this place and brought me here for a very cute brunch. The service was great the owner and staff were so friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond and I appreciated it! Now the food was so freaking yummy one of the better omelettes I've had and the matcha was amazinggggggg!! I love this place and can't wait to bring my family here.

    Overall, was a nice breakfast! A little disappointed in the service as when we first got there perhaps the owner/ staff was unsure how to sit a party of two because they had just gotten a call before us for a party of nine and we're scrambling around. Once we were finally seated, our order was taken however it must not have been put into the kitchen, even though we saw him use a machine to take our order because a table of five got their breakfast before us. wish they would've come by to tell us the mistake, but we just had to pay attention and figure out that our food was up next at least it was tasty. Hopefully, they figure out their staffing issues even for a busy time of year because it was a Sunday morning at 9 AM.

    Just as it is adorable, it's delicious! The best kept secret brunch spot in St. Augustine. It's cute Victorian decor, tea service and delicious foods seriously can't be beat. The owner and the staff were very lovely, accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. The location is nice too; it's a block from down town and a bit more quiet during the busiest times of the year. You NEEED to try this place. Seriously!!!

    High tea, individual tiered trays

    I wrote a review 11 months ago and decided to see how things have fared this year. I am happy to report that everything is still stellar. I have been for their high tea and today was there to celebrate a birthday. The menu has been revamped slightly but the food is absolutely delicious. Melanie, the owner, and her husband were there to make sure everything is perfect. The ambiance is as charming as it gets. The service was on point. I think the Princess Diana salad with grilled chicken is one of the best salads of all time. If you get tea service it will be served in a most charming pot. I was also there with some friends several months ago for the high tea. I am posting all the pictures together. High tea is a special menu by reservation only. Everything is simply delightful. This is one of my favorite places in St. Augustine.

    Super cute tea place with tons of teas. They don't take reservations so we left our name and were told it would be about 45 minutes so we left our name then walked downtown. The place was decorated for Halloween, they had so many different teas and coffees it was hard to choose. When they aren't as busy, they do tea flights but they said because they had so many large groups that day they wouldn't be able to. No biggie. I really liked the breakfast sandwich I got, the modern egg sandwich. I also liked the happy go lucky tea, super fruity but would love to try more. Luckily my mom and I split the Lotus Flower Bomb because it was very, very sweet. Maybe it's the ambiance that got me but I'd love to come back and try their high tea.

My husband wanted to order additional beverages, but it took quite a while for our server to return. The ambiance, though, was lovely.

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!

The Ice Plant location was historically St. Augustine's first power and ice complex. Now the building has been revitalized and has The Ice Plant and The St. Augustine Distillery. The St. Augustine Distillery is connected to The Ice Plant and is a great tour to check out right before heading to grab food at the restaurant. There are a variety of guided and self-guided tours. My spouse and I checked out the self-guided tour right before we grabbed dinner at The Ice Plant. The tour isn't particularly long but was filled with information. After the tour, we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The restaurant feels really spacious with its super tall ceilings. There was lots to look at reminding us of the previous use of the building. We ordered the hand cut fries, strawberry and beet salad, and the gochujang marinated pork chop. I also ordered a few of their drinks, each one featuring different types of ice to fit the drink. Honestly all the food and the drinks were so good, but the easy standout of the night for both my spouse and I were the pork chops. These might have been the best pork chops I've ever had in my life. The pork chops were incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. I was expecting it to be a little dry, as I feel like pork chop can sometimes get overcooked, but no. These were so juicy and tender. I asked our server how the pork chop was cooked. Our server said that the pork chops were cooked sous vide, which makes a lot of sense as to how they were so tender. I've already told my spouse if we are in the St. Augustine area again, I would make a special trip just to get these pork chops again, they were that good. I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was my favorite spot we checked out in the St. Augustine area, if you are ever passing by the area, check The Ice Plant out!
