    Atkins omelet w Bacon & side of bacon
    Cindy R.

    So many breakfast spots to chose from and we lucked out with choosing this one. Immediately greeted and seated, happy to wait but again lucked out. It was a Thursday morning around 9. Our server was super friendly and got us our coffee as soon as we sat down. I We split the fruit bowl, it was plenty for 2 and delicious. Even had raspberries & pineapples. I got the Atkins omelet w cheese, absolutely delicious and big enough to bring half home for lunch. Hubby got the spinach omelet w a big biscuit and hash browns. He said it was great, loved the hash browns and raved about the biscuit. Price was just about what we expected. Diane our server was amazing. Highly recommend this cute place.

    Here is the good and the bad about this restaurant from my point of view and personal experience visiting St Augustine with little kids. Do I recommend it? Sure, it's not a bad option but also not the best. The service was not that great and it seems like they need more help to run the place but it's a mom and pops so there goes that. The food wasn't bad, we tried the Big Bubba , one with grits and one with Fries, it tasted good either way. When I asked for a cappuccino I was expecting something home made, then I saw my server just picking an option out of the machine just like you can do at Fresh Market so there goes that. (wouldn't order coffee here) . Our toddler had the scrambled eggs with fries and sausage party and it was alright. Fair warning...They are not toddler friendly at all, so if you have kids and a stroller.... Good luck! Otherwise you are good to go here and wait outside to be seated. I was lucky that there was an empty table at the end and had to fold the stroller and put all bags on the floor as they offer me no option to put the stroller anywhere. The lady server was even bothered that I put the stroller next to the cooler but she was able to open the door as needed. (Only once during our meal here and it was because I asked for bottled waters to go) again, not great service. They took forever to even offer us some coffee and water and take our order and seem like they were purposely ignoring us and passing by our table while taking other orders. We were already sat down, stroller folded, toddler seating down, newborn on bassinet and bags on the floor so I wasn't about to get up. *** they don't have toddler seats*** Warning ‼ There is a big step when coming I and getting out and as we were getting in a lady with a walking stick fell down. The best thing about this place is the view of the bay that you get. They have a big mirror on the back that allows you to see the bay behind you or if you are seating forward then it's a nice view. Don't go here expecting great service and if you go with toddlers or little kids expect to sit them in your lap and if you take a small enough stroller then maybe you are good but not with the Uppa Baby Vista.

    Vegetable Omlette
    David A.

    Went back to Harbor View this past Friday. It always feels like going to visit my favorite aunt. Everyone is so pleasant and attentive. The food always hits. This time I tried the Vegetable Omlette. It was delicious. As always the biscuits are impeccable. The potatoes good but i like them a bit crispier. Great coffee, great vibe. As always, a fantastic breakfast spot.

    Fresh Veggie & Cheese omelette, biscuit, and potatoes
    Laura A.

    Happily surprised to walk right in with no wait on a Friday morning. Service was fantastic and they have a great selection of regular menu items and specials. I chose the veggie and cheese omelette with feta as my cheese choice. Potatoes and a biscuit as my sides. The omelette was big, filling of veggies and feta and cooked perfectly. Delicious and filling, it was exactly what I wanted. The extra large biscuit was crispy and buttery on the top and bottom with a soft and fluffy middle, again perfection. The potatoes were the only "okay" item on my plate. A strange mix of chunks and shredded potatoes that were seasoned well but not cooked enough. I prefer my potatoes a bit more crispy on the outside, with a nice crunch. Overall, excellent food, cozy place and the best service. Location is great too, right I. The heart of all there is to do in the old city, right along the Bayfront.

    Love the people who runs the place very welcoming I was there for my birthday weekend with my family (from Alabama) and we saw that it's just close to us and tried it and was in love with it good people good food great view great service! Will definitely come back for it. Highly recommended this place

    Been walking by here for years and never stopped in. Usually because there was a line. Little place inside and pretty busy. Lots of choices for lunch and dinner with some local favs. I ordered the Monterey sandwich which had chicken and ham on it. Brioche bun and the fixings made for a nice bite. Deb tried the chicken and potato salads. Both were really good. Service was quick and food came out in a reasonable time. Place seems to walk the line of a local place and a tourist place pretty well.

    Very good breakfast. Quick service. Small diner with view of harbor. Definitely recommend. We will come back when in the area.

    The family and I stopped at Harbor View Café after I read several Yelp reviews saying this place was great. I ordered a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit, à la carte - a bagel, and an egg, with cream cheese. I ate the whole thing, and it was delicious. My family was very hungry. Going into the breakfast and I can say there weren't many crumbs left on the table. The location is perfect right on the main road next to the water. Food: 9.0 - solid overall! Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and didn't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

    I ended my recent St Augustine staycation with lunch at Asado Life. The interior is stunning,…read moretotally my vibe & the outdoor patio areas were equally impressive. I love that they have a grab-and-go selection of meals, sandwiches, sides, and more within the restaurant. I ordered the Al Pastor Margarita and my server told me it was one of their most popular cocktails. After my first sip, I completely understood why. It's crafted with blanco tequila, lime and pineapple agave, Asado Orange Bitters (available for purchase), smoked salt rim, and a grilled pineapple garnish. For my entree, I went with the Asado Trio which includes picanha steak, house-made chorizo, and a signature-spiced chicken thigh. The steak and chorizo were both good, but I have to tell you - the chicken was the star of the show for me which I wasn't expecting. It was so moist and flavorful. Since I eat mostly chicken at home, it's never my first choice of protein when I'm dining out. That should tell you how wowed I was by Asado Life's chicken. The entree came with a house salad which was a very generous size. I really enjoyed their house vinaigrette and the toasted breadcrumbs. The potato salad side was a bit of a miss for me. I did not eat the peppers that came on it which certainly would have added some flavor. It was not bad but needed some seasoning and salt. In retrospect, I should have asked for some of the chimichurri used on the meat trio to add to it. Service was one of the highlights of the meal. My main server Stephanie was great and the servers worked well as a team. I had two different servers deliver my cocktail and then my salad, and everyone was genuinely friendly. I'm excited that they are opening a location in Jax later this year.
