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.

And if you're not comfortable with being grabbed by your arm by one of "The Girls!" to be moved out of an obviously overcrowded aisle, DONT GO! Also you will get comforted, dismissed and talked down by what I'm only to assume, was the the owner; lates 50s white woman with white tank and an old cowboy hat & her overly buff older dude! The kicker, I was told, " I must not be from the "area" because folks here are ok with being touched and displaced by "The Girls!". So we left and will never return; told my finance that spot was definitely off our bar crawl for the wedding! Just upsetting that folks still act so pretentious and rude to people they don't even know! I felt targeted both racially and because of my sexual orientation. IT A LOCALS ONLY HANG OUT PERIOD!

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

I visited on June 18th at around 6pm, and the only negative thing I have to say is about the…read moreattitude of the host at the entrance. When I arrived with my pregnant wife and my service dog, he asked somewhat curtly if it was a service dog. After I confirmed and thanked him, he rudely placed the menu on the table, turned around without saying another word or showing any basic courtesy, and just walked away with his back to us. It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.

This has officially become our go-to hangout every time we're in town. The live music scene here is unbeatable--whether it's a full band, a solo singer, or anything in between, they are always bringing the energy. It honestly feels like the music hub of Old Town St. Augustine. They keep it simple with beer and wine only, but as a wine girl, I was SO happy to see they serve Decoy Cabernet No cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel wine here--thank you!! The atmosphere is what really makes this place special though. The staff is consistently welcoming, and we absolutely adore the bartender Rose--she's the best and makes every visit feel like you're among friends. And speaking of friends... somehow this last trip we ended up chatting with a total stranger who knew a bunch of our friends back home. Small world moment for sure and just adds to that fun, connected vibe this place has. Great music, great people, great wine--what more could you want? We'll be back every single time!
