Lobster Appetizer with puffed pastry so good
Twanfran J.

Went as a couple on Valentine's Day for dinner and we had an excellent table near the expo line. We got to see everything being done. It made for excellent dinner conversations not to mention a lot of action. Our waitress was great and the food was simply delicious and wildly constructed. This dinner left us saying, "More please!!"

The Harvest and Reel is located inside the beautiful Embassy Suites resort. This beachfront property doesn't currently have beach access so keep that in mind. We stayed at the resort and ate here twice during our stay. As we often do, we decided to share a few things because this was our first time here. We started with the crab bisque. It definitely needed some seasoning. We order the pork chop. We asked for medium. It was more medium well but still juicy so we ate it. The potatoes were tasty. The couscous is so lacking in any seasoning I just couldn't eat it. I tried lemon, salt, and pepper. It just couldn't be helped. We were offered a free dessert because they saw we didn't eat it. We got the side. Do not get the entree of it! The chocolate brownie (best way I can describe it), was good but very rich. Later in the stay, I ordered the Caesar salad with halibut. I would skip that as well. It ended up being $27 for a very mediocre salad. It comes in large pieces and the halibut was very small and overcooked. Our server was friendly and accommodating. He was attentive and made every attempt to keep us happy. The bartenders were also friendly but complained about their jobs quite a bit. Overall, the resort is lovely but the restaurant needs some work. I would not have gone back had we not been staying there.

I had eaten at Harvest & Reel a few years ago, when it opened, and had an amazing time. Since we were staying at the Embassy Suites Resort St. Augustine Beach , I figured it would be a fabulous time to try it again. Located in the lobby of the hotel, Harvest & Reel is a gorgeous dining space. It's dark, and cozy, with an open kitchen and a "Farm Fresh and Shore To Table" concept. Yum. We had a party of eight, and were celebrating my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's anniversary too. Our server was Harrison, and he was a dream. He had great knowledge of the menu, made excellent suggestions, was super attentive to our table, and was just a general superstar. Thanks to him. We started with wine and appetizers. We sent an order of the calamari and the charcuterie board down to the "kids'" end of the table, while the "adults" had another plate of calamari and the crispy Brussels sprouts. I'm not a huge calamari fan, but these are fried in the lightest batter, and served with a flavorful green goddess drizzle and hot peppers, so it hits just right. The crispy Brussels sprouts were so good that my husband ordered them as a side with his dinner. I shamelessly snagged some of those, too. Oops. I wasn't super hungry after apps, so I went with the Corn Risotto (as did my brother-in-law, who is a vegetarian). My nephew ordered the Delmonico ribeye, one niece had the Cheeseburger with potato wedges (it came with two patties), and everyone else had the filet mignon, with assorted sides. I am pretty sure we all joined the Clean Plate Club that night. I wish I had more photos of the entrees, because they were beautiful, but.... I got involved in conversation, and you know how it goes. Harrison brought out a slice of salted caramel cheesecake to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, compliments of the restaurant, which was a lovely and sweet touch. Harvest & Reel is a wonderful restaurant, perfect for intimate dinners and special occasions. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Fresh catch of the day - mahi with haricot verts
Mel A.

Fantastic restaurant in the Embassy Suites! We got in at around 8PM on Sunday and was thankful that this place stays open til 10PM which means dinner is only an elevator ride away. We were immediately seated. I requested a booth so we could have more room and be isolated from the other guests. They do practice social distancing, staff wore masks and they sanitized each table well. I ordered a glass of cabernet and my husband had some unsweetened tea. He wasn't super hungry so we did not order an appetizer to share. Instead, I started with some leek soup. I thought it would come in a small bowl but was pleasantly surprised when a huge, steaming bowl of soup came to the table. It was delicious. You can definitely taste the leek. There were some little chunks of potatoes as well and a bit of crispy onions on top. For my main course, I ordered the fresh catch which was mahi simply but deliciously seasoned with some salt and fresh ground pepper served with some haricot verts. Wow! It was so tasty and amazing! My husband had the scallops and he enjoyed his meal as well. We did not order dessert because we were both full and tired and just wanted to get up to our room and pass out but I would love to dine here again before our trip is over so hopefully I get to!

Butternut Squash Risotto.
Kimberly M.

We were excited about the restrained menu at H & R. We had a late dinner after the rush had cleared out. Looking for a vegetarian option, I ordered the Butternut Squash Risotto. Sadly it was not good at all. Mushy, pile, end-of-the-night dish is what was delivered. It tasted precooked and there were maybe 5 very dry pieces of squash on top that also tasted like they were cooked much earlier than served. My husband had a steak cooked to perfection. We started off with Calamari. It was a bit chewy, but had good flavor. Staff was very nice, but I would recommend the restaurant attend to quality late in the evening. 86 that Risotto if you don't plan to serve it fresh late in service.

Came here for dinner while staying at Embassy Suites! We have eaten here when the hotel first opened up and can't quite remember how the food tasted, so we made sure to try it again on our visit!! The restaurant was empty which was pretty surprising since the hotel was pretty busy! We were seated immediately, our waiter was very attentive and was great with the kids! Once our food arrived, it all looked and tasted really good. (Not pictured) but the creamed spinach was my absolute favorite!! Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the kids' meals were yummy (so they said)! On our next trip to St. Augustine we will be dining here again!

Squash Risotto with Shrimp
Anthony G.

This is certainly a date night spot! The Vibe & Swag of this location is great. First thing: parking is challenging. They do have valet parking for a price or you can park by the pier and if you can find anything. We choose the valet. Which we were surprised that they were offering valet due to the pandemic but we were fine with it. The lobby is nice, big and gorgeous! The bathrooms are very clean (btw i threw a pic of the bathroom because of how nicely clean it was) which is rare. Staff is great on site! Our hostess sat us down quickly! We made reservations for 6pm, but it didn't pick up with people until 8pm. Our waitress was very sweet and great! She served us well. (Not sure if her name was Ashley or something with a A) but she was great. We were on a double date so we got our appetizers and shared. The calamari was chewy in my opinion but the breading was really tasty. The artichoke dip was really tasty and creamy. I will order that again. My friend had the Delmonico Steak ($44, 16oz)- she gave some and it was perfectly cooked and juicy with amazing flavors. My wonderful wife has the Squash Risotto. I wasn't expecting anything from this dish but wow this was so good- we added shrimp to the dish for $10 more. I do think this dish is a bit overpriced, but it was really good. My friend and I did the pork chop with cornbread- this is a dish that I will come back for. 10oz bone-in pork chop was great and a huge deep pan corn bread piece is served with it. The pork chop is coated with BBQ. It was not dry and compliments to the chef for cooking it perfect and keeping it juicy and flavorful. We ended off the night with some nice desserts. The chocolate cake was very rich and ou

We ate breakfast here every day of our stay; and, the food was terrific. There are typical offerings on the buffet; and, custom omelets at the chef station. In the back, there are juices, and soft drinks; a variety of bread and pastry items (including donuts!); and, a tip jar that is well-hidden. The oatmeal and the grits were standouts for me and my wife, as we had them each morning we dined in. The first day, the oatmeal was the best I'd ever had in my life, with a wide variety of toppings that made customizing the bowl easy and flavorful. When we ordered omelets, we tipped the chef; and, at the end of our stay we tipped the staff that bussed the tables. The restaurant manager keeps a keen eye on things; and, signs in the lobby indicate the hours and wait times to expect in the morning. My wife and I noticed they had a wine dinner scheduled in late-March, which will probably be postponed. But, we seriously considered coming up for the weekend just for the dinner event!

The inside is just as impressive with it's "oil and gas" theme, it's rather small but we were able to get seated without a wait even though it was nearly filled. The staff here was very inviting and attentive, the menu is also themed and fairly priced, we ordered "The Ford Galaxie" two eggs your way, a choice of meats, choice of toast or biscuits and home fries or grit - although the winner here in my opinion is the coffee it's delicious, strong and robust. Unfortunately everything here wasn't perfect the "West Creek Whipped Spread Butter Blend" is an abomination, it ruined everything we put it on, my bad for not asking for real butter after applying it to my toast, my grits and the English Muffin we ordered, it was inedible to the point we left everything on the plate this stuff touched it wasn't refrigerated as suggested on the label I'm guessing. I usually eat only real butter so what was I thinking - so my dilemma is how do I review this place fairly based on that stuff and the fact it ruined our food since we loved everything else. Well I guess they'll get three stars for now and I'll return and maybe bring my own butter because this place is a place you really want to love...

If planning a breakfast out while visiting St. Augustine Beach give Beachside Diner a try but make…read moresure you pack some patience as you'll probably have to wait for a table as this place is popular. For our visit this time they said about a 30 minute wait which was actually 20 minutes. The vibe of the place is very cool with the old jukebox and a bar as well as tables both inside and outside. We were seated outside this visit which was fine as it was shady. I had the corned beef has with hash browns and 2 sunny side eggs. The corned beef is full of shredded corned beef with just a small amount of potatoes. The hash browns with onions were nice and crispy as I asked and the eggs were cooked nicely with the right amount of run when broken. My wife has the Classic Breakfast which is somewhat similar to what I had but with no meat. Hers was done nicely too. Thanks for a nice visit and see you the next time we're back to St. Augustine Beach!

The bad: the food was ice cold, there doesn't seem to be air conditioning in the restaurant, and if you ask for scrambled eggs - you'll be served with egg beaters versus fresh eggs. The corned beef hash - not worth the $8 upcharge when it's cold and the fat has congealed

She started us out with baked oysters and they were good, but it was too much bacon and cheese for me personally. It overwhelmed the oyster flavor, but if you're trying oysters for the first time or wanna please a picky group then these are good. My daughter got the stuffed flounder with corn casserole as we called it, as her side. It was delicious! Probably the best thing ordered! Tacos and kids grilled fish was great too! Definitely a solid amount of fish nuggets in the taco. The fries were some of the best ive ever had. For the seafood feast, we ordered scampi style and it was good, but it reminded me of a clam sauce style, not really buttery and garlicky. It was still good, but what disappointed me was the melted plastic bag served at the table. It was difficult to open, even our server had trouble opening. Idk why everyone loves serving food in plastic bags. It's sooo hot from the steam that plastic leaches into the food. I don't get the infatuation with this, unless you're ordering to go. The fans upstairs are a nice and necessary touch and not too hot up there, despite being summer in July. I would go back and order the stuffed flounder again! Seriously, that was the best thing we ordered. Ashley was johnny on the spot too!

GOOD: Good size portions, reasonable prices, especially for cocktails. The same margarita would be $14 elsewhere. I had the "Wrap it up mango" tuna wrap with fried plaintains as my side. Plaintains were a big portion, so I took half home. The wrap was very tropical with fruit and sushi grade tuna. I ate it all, which was greedy of me, but I enjoyed it and felt overfull (my bad). Hubby had the clam and shrimp chowder and 2 apps. Very tender clams, thick texture and more shrimp flavor than clam, tasty for sure. Conch fritters good and in our top 5 (we get them everywhere and have been disappointed but now here). The wings were cooked perfectly, not heavy and crispy. The key lime flavor was good but too light. BAD: Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. The other servers seemed right on top of the other diners. 2 person tables are a bit too small if you order multiple appetizers. But nothing bad at all here.

We glanced at the menu and ordered at the register. Bring cash! Helps local businesses keep more of their profit than paying high service fees for card payments. 3% charge for card swipes. I love the cash payment way over cards anyday but I'll leave that for a forum discussion. We sat outside and food arrived promptly. Ratings are as follows: * Kids Pancake 10/10 (fluffy, air, tasted like vanilla it was delicious. *French Toast 4/10 I could be wrong but I thought the menu said cinnamon roll on a brioche bread. Not sure tasted like regular white bread flat and not cinnamony. * Kids egg breakfast 10/10 she left nothing *Coffee regular self serve 10/10 dark roast! Delicious and fresh Total $37 could be because I paid with card since I only had a $20 on me. Nonetheless great spot, friendly service, and I loved the outside space.

The venue is on A1A, right by St Augustine Beach. This was our first time there. They serve food but we had dinner beforehand, so we only had drinks. It's a nice little venue though. The show itself was awesome and Mick was so nice to meet afterwards! Why am I giving a 5 star review when we didn't even try their food? I'm at fortunate to know a few people that many would consider to be famous in the world of music. I have tagged along with them when they've done meet & greets at venues of various sizes from hundreds of fans to thousands of fans. Many, MANY venues handle these things very poorly. It ends up leaving fans feel as if the artist doesn't care about them when it's actual the venue that is unprepared and/or is treating the fans that dirt. That was absolutley NOT the case at Cafe Eleven. Every person we encountered from the staff seemed genuinely concerned with making sure the fans had a good experience. For us, this started a week prior when they took the time to email us to double check something about our order because our order was a bit odd. My wife paid for part of the order and our friends paid for the other half. The venue actually took the time to reach out to make sure we knew everything needed to match up. We did know that ahead of time but the fact that they even bothered was a touch I don't think I've ever heard of another venue taking the time to do. Well done Cafe Eleven! Based on that alone, I wouldn't think twice about driving down from Jacksonville next time there's an event at Cafe Eleven that I'm interested in.
