I sat out on the patio, it was the perfect afternoon. Very peaceful and beautiful flowers. My server was a bit distant, but the food and drink came out very quickly.

Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal…read more Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three.

Beef Bourgeon $31 Spaghetti squash with chicken $20 + $5 for chicken. A glass of Caymus Walking Fool $17.

The drinks were delicious, and they also serve food here. However, we did not grab a bite to eat. The ladies were very friendly and bubbly. I can't wait to come back and visit again.

He ordered one of their halloween specials and I ordered a drink from their happy hour menu! The drinks were a bit pricey (around $14-16 for a non-happy hour drink), but are worth it for how they craft it. Both our drinks were delicious and the presentation was great. The bar itself is a bit small so it could be hard to get seating if it's busy, but we stopped by at a pretty slow time so there were plenty of seats to choose from. And the bartenders + server were all wonderful and extremely nice!

A new name for an old favorite…read more We stopped for lunch on a beautiful weekday. Parking lot was surprisingly empty even though Bike Week was going on over on the coast. A nicely prepared hamburger and a delightful bacon-stuffed BLT both hit the spot. We didn't get our requested medium rare, but it was tasty nonetheless. The BLT was served on toasted and buttered bread. Don't see butter much - seems to always be mayo. It was great. Having an abundance of bacon certainty sealed the deal. The cole slaw was creamy and looked and tasted freshly-made. The black beans and rice side was a pleasant surprise and delicious. Our service was prompt and efficient. This place can succeed if it keeps serving good food like we had.

I had the Espresso Martini, which the bartender made sure to make it sweeter for me as Ana said I could have them tweak it. The Bartender's Call was a great display. Ours came in a smoky treasure chest and was a play on the Old Fashion. We ordered the Mojo Chicharrones and it was perfect. I can't even explain it. We also ordered the Chicken Avocado Dip. The arepas were so crisp.

Service is just ok. Hard to connect with the server. They have their own parking lot here which is convenient since it's in St Augustine and we came right when they opened for dinner so it was not packed at all. I was excited about this restaurant but I went in circles on the menu & couldn't decide. I'm glad I did order what I did. I was ready to leave for whatever reason, but my husband had ordered before me. I think it was due to waiting for the server a while to get back so I can order.

Another review I swore I wrote years ago! It took us a while before we made it here when we first…read moremoved to the area. It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.
