    Shrimp Cocktail
    Caroline B.

    Lovely restaurant located inside St Augustine's Renaissance hotel! Beautifully decorated with an incredible bar. Service was extremely attentive and kind. Loved the seaweed salad with the shrimp cocktail and our Chardonnay was delicious as well. Hope to be back soon to try more of their menu!

    SO and I stopped here for an amazing breakfast. Our breakfast was made to order with great ingredients and presented well. The coffee is pretty good, too.

    We were staying at the hotel and came to the Castillo restaurant for breakfast. It was a nice place. Service: Our waiter, Frederick, was excellent. There was a large, private party there and he apologized for the longer than usual wait for our food. He provided great recommendations and checked in on us often. Food: I had the old fort breakfast Sammy, my husband had the buffalo chicken bowl, and my son had the kids pancakes. Frederick recommended I get the sandwich with the apple butter on the side since it could be overpowering. I'm glad I did, but it was nice to add some to the sandwich. The biscuit was a bit dry without any type of sauce or butter on it, so I did feel like it needed something. Otherwise, the sandwich was good and the roasted potatoes were crisp. My husband enjoyed the flavors and textures of the buffalo bowl.

    Went there for valentines day and from beginning to end we had a wonderful experience. Food, service etc. All was fantastic and had a really nice vibe. Try the valentines day menu and it was wonderful. All the food was great and very satisfying. I look forward to going again and enjoying the other meals and beverages they have.

    First Yelp review of 2026!! Always looking for new places to eat. I am apart of a group on Facebook and this was recommended. The food was well cooked well seasoned. The service was extremely helpful, the food came out on time. The ambiance was amazing. I ordered the short ribs, the award winning short ribs, they were great. My wife ordered the blackened flounder, also great!! 5 stars!!

    Birria slow-braised short rib with street corn risotto, lime crema, seasonal vegetables, fried corn and cojita cheese. Phenomenal!

    We were unaware when we made the reservation that this restaurant was inside of the Renaissance hotel so when we discovered this we honestly weren't expecting the fabulous meal we had. We ordered the birria braised short rib with street corn risotto and seasonal vegetables and the spinach & artichoke stuffed airline chicken. I switched out the polenta cake it came with for the potato purée and I'm glad I did. It was delicious and the perfect complement to the chicken. My only complaint is the portion size. I don't eat a lot so it was fine for me but if that were my daughter or brother, they would've been left hungry. My wife said the birria braised short rib was one of the best meals she's ever had in her life, and that's saying a lot!

    Great service. Amazing Christmas decorations. Stand out drinks and appetizers. Enjoyed the crudo and tartar especially.

    This was a classy hidden spot in St. Augustine. You are able to park free in the garage if eating in the restaurant which is ideal for downtown. We had a nice spot close to the front. I will say the lighting was a bit dark which would be great for romance but we were having a girls night. Service was nice. We did the charcuterie board and Brussels which were delicious!! I had the short rib which is what they are known for. Amazing!! Melt in your mouth amazing!! Will come back for a date night soon.

    Delicious! They were very accommodating for our large party and the service was still great and fast! Located right before downtown, this place was very nice and the food was great!! All of the food and drinks we ordered were amazing! Would definitely recommend!

    Food was ok. Service inside great. Ambiance kinda cool. The bad part. Bad signage for parking. Parked in valet only. No valet. Oh wait another entrance for valet. Nearer the restaurant. Asked the hostess went back out. Your keys. Um no I parked and then walked here and I don't want you driving my car. It isn't the tip either. More than half empty everywhere. My partner said don't make a scene the manager I guess overheard. Is there an issue? Yeah I don't want valet. Oh you can park in the garage. Welll garage ain't free and we dropped over $200 on your empty mediocre restaurant. No matter not coming back. Valet boy telling me he can't let me get my own car. He didn't run to come park it. Menu pricey and very limited I settled on fish and chips. They were good but not $30 worth can get that anywhere.

    This restaurant is located at the Renaissance Hotel in St. Augustine. A little off the main drag of bars and restaurants, but a higher end option. We were there for a friend's birthday with a party of 7. The service was excellent, especially for our group size! We ordered: The calamari and the brussels sprouts to start, both were excellent. I could not believe how massive the order of sprouts were so keep that in mind when ordering apps. Then we ordered several cocktails. The lavender bee's knees actually had no lavender in it, which seems misleading regarding the title and was not the most balanced cocktail considering the strength of the gin and elderflower flavor. Riesling, Moscow Mules, and white tea shots were also ordered and were great. For entrees we had several orders of the Salmon, the short rib and the bao buns. Everything was incredible except for the bao buns and the truffle fries. I was disappointed with the truffle fries as there was no flavor and they were quite bland. Overall good experience and would dine here again.
