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.

My partner and I went here Just Because (and to use a Resy credit from AMEX), and it ended up being…read moreone of my favorite recent dining experiences. Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back.

We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates!

If you're in St. Augustine, do yourself a favor and check out Treylor Park!…read more We grabbed seats at the bar and immediately loved the vibe--super friendly atmosphere, really clean, and a menu that's anything but boring. One of the coolest touches? A TV disguised as a piece of art that's actually a live stream of downtown St. Augustine. Such a fun, unique detail! Now let's talk food I ordered the shrimp and grits tacos, and WOW--they were packed with flavor. The grits added this unexpected crunch that worked so well with the shrimp. The textures blended perfectly and made every bite interesting. My husband went for the Miyagi beef tacos... and let's just say there were zero leftovers. He cleaned his plate, which says everything. Great vibes, creative food, and a memorable experience all around. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

The vibe alone makes it worth the visit--think…read morequirky, creative décor with an RV-inspired interior that gives it a laid-back, offbeat charm. It got pretty busy while we were there, but impressively, they were running with just one server--and he absolutely held it down. Despite the crowd, he stayed attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly, which really stood out. The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.

St Augustine can get pretty busy, especially around the holidays. There was a bit of a line for us but not too bad, especially if you don't have anywhere to be soon. The service was good as well as the food. The drinks are obviously the main attraction and they did not disappoint. They were very strong and I love that they leave the shaker at the table for you to finish your full drink. This is a must-try spot in the area and we'll be back!

My husband's burger, ordered a medium rare, was well done. We didn't see a server for a while after we received our food, so he just ate it. The $4 up charge for sweet potato tots is so not worth a dime. They were inedible, but our server didn't ask how ANYTHING was so there wasn't any opportunity to change, send back etc. My fries were piping hot and tasted good for about five minutes until they cooled. After that, they were very mealy...you know how those taste. So very disappointed after hearing good things about this place. We won't be back here. Plenty of other places to eat in SA. Restaurants are crying the blues about costs, but don't seem to care much about quality any longer. I don't know about you, but until these establishments can show me they care about customers and quality, I'm going to be cautious about spending my money on a lunch costing $70. You?

I thought their Tea choices were nice and tasted good and they brought each of us a full pot of what we selected. They brought us our little tier of a mix of a very small items. A ramekin of beer cheese soup (delicious and wish it was bigger) a pimento cheese triangle (so so) and a very very small hot Brie pastry (did not have a lot of taste and hard to tell what it was actually) The rest was dessert items and although they were good, nothing was amazing to me.

We even called to ask if they were open because it was hard to find the entrance (on three surrounding blocks) and the person who answered the phone said yes we're open, inside the Collections or Collectors or something like that. No mention of it being private to hotel guests only. So we wandered in from the heat of a 90 degree day to an empty bar with the A/C blasting and one lone employee standing there who politely apologized but refused to sell us a drink as we were not staying at their property (big shrugs all around). Could someone please explain to me what sense it makes to pay a girl to stand alone in an air conditioned bar with no customers and refuse to take our money? We were nice, she was nice.
