Awesome food great drinks great food wonderful service by Ben

Excellent food, service & atmosphere! Our family ordered the lobster ravioli, ck parm, ck marsala, ck piccata eggplant parm, eggplant rollatini & bread with yummy olive oil dip. We recommend them all!

I wanted Greek food, but they have changed the menu. It is Italian. Pretty good. I had risotto and eggplant and a rotini roll. I'd definitely go back! It was very quaint on the inside and they have a beautiful outdoor patio. Great location off the main drag about 5 minutes from downtown.

Perfect little place with great food. Not a lot of parking spots but you can park across the road near the park. Red snapper with mussels was yummy. Plenty of outdoor seating and friendly staff.

great atmosphere, professional and very courteous staff who did everything to ensure we had a great dining experience. food was delish. server (Mallory) knew every dish and had great advice.

Beautiful ambiance, great Mediterranean menu. The service was excellent & the meal delicious. Great place to sit, enjoy a meal & good conversation. We will be back. Pictured Salmon with Risotto. Baked Pear dessert.

It was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent. I understand that two brothers recently opened it. One sat us and watched the service throughout the dining room, the other is the chef. My wife had the grilled pickled veggie appetizer along with potato & leek soup. I had the flounder piccata. Food was outstanding and could tell it was made with pride. Tasted like a family recipe! The experience was worth more than we paid. Would definitely eat here regularly if we lived in the area and will eat here again if we make it back to St Augustine.

Great food, great wait staff, and humble managers. First visit here and was quite pleased, wide selection of drinks and everything came out prepared to order.

Excellent night - great food, great service and a very very hospitable owner and staff. Mr. G., Miguel, and Stryker were fabulous hosts. We will return here every time we go to St. Augustine. Five Stars !!!!!

Don’t bother with this place!!Went there end of January 2022. It was a cold rainy night. There was a damp putrid smell as you walked inside. I asked waiter to suggest a nice shank. Beef pork or lamb. He said they were all good. I ordered the lamb shank and my husband ordered Mediterranean burger. We also had wine. Both meats were horrid. I mean no taste, —- dry, tough, overcooked. just about the worst dinner I could imagine. Shanks should be tender and meat should fall off the bone. Not at this place. They weren’t even concerned that I was sawing them meat off the bone with all my strength.We were VERY disappointed. Even the waiter asked how my lamb was and I said it was very dry and hard to cut. He just walked away. Ugh!! My husband’s burger had absolutely no flavor.My risotto was decent.You have to pay for bread at the table. Really tacky.We will never ever go back. !
