Selfie with my sister and espresso martini
Aimee P.

During the busy Nights of Lights in Saint Augustine, I parked nearby and started walking toward the Christmas lights when I came across Chez L'Amour. The gorgeous atmosphere, live jazz music, and supper club vibe immediately drew me in--I just had to go inside. Even on such a busy night, there was no wait, and we sat at the bar. The espresso martinis were made to perfection, the tostada was a 10/10, and the Wagyu beef slider was amazing (I'm a beef lover, so it was an obvious choice for me!). This place is now a must-visit every time I'm in St Augustine.

We were passing through St Augustine after a day on the waters, decided to eat here since it was one of the only Restaurants in that Downtown area that had parking spaces available. We walked in and were promptly greeted by a Gentleman that asked if we had reservations? We replied "no" and he seated us. The decor is a little odd, there doesn't seem to be a theme, it's a mix of contemporary and not even sure how to describe it, there's a lot going on. They had a set up for photos, and Luxury handbags set up on a back Bar area, the employee said it was a Pop up Shop. We ordered: SAN MARCO SCALLOPS scared, beurre blanc, basil oil, charred This was delicious, but only had 3 Scallops, perfectly cooked and great flavor. COCONUT CURRY POPCORN passion fruit, raw honey, whipped garlic This chicken was so salty i had to eat some of the bread they served to try and help with the saltiness. The sweet bread rolls were very good I was not impressed with the food or the Service overall.

My husband and I went for the first time before I gave birth to my last baby. The food is absolutely delicious, my husband enjoyed his drinks and I enjoyed that they were able to recommend some fun non alcoholic drinks for myself. We were excited as it is advertised as more of a Jazz Bar, but the music was pretty loud, and it was a random mix of music. The service was wonderful. It is adults only, so just plan accordingly if needed.

If you're looking for a space to rent with delicious food, impeccable service and a gorgeous, unique aesthetic - look no further. Some fam booked Chez for a birthday celebration and it was an incredible time. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the bar was a whole vibe, and there was room for a band and dance floor. The service was fantastic. The staff poured drinks, refilled buffet items, and cleared plates like ninjas -- smiling ninjas, of course. The food was yummmm--we had the Fritto Broccoli, fries, steak sliders and datil pork belly--and my mouth is still watering just thinking about it. And guess what---they have their own parking lot. It's not huge, so if your invite list is long there is street parking along the road, too. Will definitely return for a normal night of service when they have live jazz.

We attended media night on a culinary journey at Chez L'Amour, where love meets elegance. Indulged in tapas-style small plates, upscale cuisine, decadent desserts, and soulful jazz tunes, all in the heart of St. Augustine at 45 San Marco Avenue. Experience the passion of owners Alberto and Jeanetta as they transformed an 1800s house into a sophisticated haven for food, music, and love. 10 star's excellent service ambience and delicious food! It will be open Wednesday through Saturday from 4pm to 11pm and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. A happy hour is offered Wednesday through Friday from 4pm to 6 pm. Learn more at bitesbubblesandjazz.com

Chez L'Amour in St. Augustine offers a romantic and charming experience with its elevated uptown dining. The tapas-style small plates and luxurious desserts add a playful touch to the dining concept. The romantic and elegant decor, reminiscent of French art deco, sets the perfect ambiance, enhanced by the delightful live jazz. A truly enchanting culinary experience. They offer veg, non-veg and also gluten free options. Chef Ellie Rose pours her heart to prepare every dish to perfection. We sampled the pizza, mussels, beet tartare and coconut curry popcorn chicken all created by @chefellierose.  Everything was just so decadent and delicious.   The mocktails were just as delightful we had the Cats Meow with lemon, raw sugar, ginger, seedlip & Bandleader with beet, almond, fennel, lemon. @bitesbubblesandjazz is the perfect spot for date night, girls night or you can reserve their entire party room for a special event.  They are open Wednesday - Saturday from 4pm to 11pm and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. 45 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine Learn more at bitesbubblesandjazz.com

Great place for a date night or night out with friends in St Augustine. Beautiful atmosphere, live music and a great bar for cocktails. The chef is innovative and creates dishes with fresh ingredients. Love the ambiance and vibe. A must visit if local or visiting the oldest city. Service is great, seated timely and servers are attentive.

We have dined in many establishments in and around St Augustine and we've had trouble finding any with ambience. Chez L'Amour has the ambience we have been looking for. There are low lights and candles and a more "romantic" vibe. The food is more small plates and perfect for sharing. The live music is a really nice touch. And, they have a parking lot! We loved it and have recommended it and will definitely be back!

Very romantic spot. Beautiful decor. Definitely upscale. Drinks are some of the best I've ever had. Went back for seconds another time during our time in St. Augustine. We like some of the food others just were not our cup of tea. Very attentive service.

Great place for unique appetizers and entrees. We came for an early dinner and we were one of the very few customers that was seated. Little by little the place started getting crowded. We also witnessed a live band prepping and getting ready for tonight's gig. The food we ordered are meant for sharing and that means we get to taste all of what we order. All the food we ordered was exceptional but I thought the popcorn chicken was uniquely presented and the chicken was nicely battered and fried. Desserts and as well as the live band ends our dining experience memorable. There were still so many entrees we weren't able to taste and order because we have no more room to eat. We'd like to come and try the other things we didn't get to taste.

We went early and were seated in the Violet Room in the back. It was quiet and good for conversation. The front room is much more lively with the bar and the musicians. Music starts at 7 PM. We were greeted promptly and the service was consistently good throughout the meal. The star of the show is the food. Most things are small plates so it is easy to try several things and share. There were four of us and we loved everything we ordered. But my favorites were the Thai mussels and the mushroom plate. Very interesting flavor profiles and a knockout chef, Chef Ellie Rose knows how to make creative and delicious foods.

My boyfriend and I went a few weeks ago on a Sunday evening and it was an all around fantastic time!! The restaurant/bar is gorgeous! The drinks were super delicious and creative! The jazz band was so talented and enjoyable to listen to and watch! Just a perfect evening. I hope they continue to have live jazz music on Sunday evenings. We'll be back!!

Jen D.

We walked in and found seats by the bar, the staff were friendly and the bar tenders are knowledgeable. Highly recommend to make a reservation prior. They have good espresso martini!! The food was fantastic! And there was a live jazz band which is a beautiful touch for a nice dinner. The only thing that I noticed here is they charged % for the band, included in your bill. Other than that, this place is amazing and I highly recommend for date night or a nice ambiance dinner.

What is the parking situation?

If you have a reservation there is a small area right in front of the restaurant for customers, or if you're lucky like I was you'll get one of the 4 up front spots

My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. 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.

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.

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!
