    Mojo Chicharrones and Chicken Avocado Dip
    Maryerie R.

    Visiting from Tampa: this place is amazing! The decor is cute and is large. The food was amazing. Ana was so kind and her recommendations were great. 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.

    I loved this place! From the parking lot to the bar area. The bar is beautiful space and the bartender was really nice! I looked on their instagram and I asked the bartender for a pretty drink and she did not dissapoint! I asked for the bartenders choice so I don't remeber what the name of the drink was but it was so refreshing and delious. I got the chefs tacos with chicken which was really good! I would highly recommend! I would love to go back and get another beautiful drink!

    We dined in on a reservation. The restaurant was not very busy. We started with the cachapa and guacamole as they were out of tequenos. The cachapa was underwhelming in that it wasn't very crisp though the cheese was melty and delicious. The guacamole was chunky with lots of onion and tomato. Two party members split the parilla grill which was generously sized and all the meat was cooked beautifully. The arepa (with pork) was large and the meat was tender as well as well seasoned. The brussel sprouts were spicy and saucier than they appear on the website. One party member got a tweeting which she said was ginger forward but tasted good.

    Cool spot, nice ambiance, good food and good drinks. I was there for a tequila tasting event, held in the speakeasy, which was pretty neat. It's behind the big bookshelves. I had the chicken avocado dip and really enjoyed it. I also had a drink that was very good, took a pic of, but can't recall the name! The bartender may have made it up. The service at the bar was good, and our food came out pretty fast. Overall, cool vibe.

    Gnocchi with shrimp, delicious

    4.25 Yummy food and a great vibe. Only thing to change is that it was pretty warm inside. Inside vibe- great. Clean bathrooms. Service- Wonderful, hostess to server very helpful and friendly. Drinks- very good. Beer, French 75, and two bartenders picks (smoked old fashioned and a gin choice) Food- Started with the Taqueno (warm and cheesy, delicious). Two of us had the stuffed gnocchi (one with chicken and one with shrimp)- both tasty, chicken was super juicy. Curry chicken sandwich- good but honestly not great. A bit dry without the sauce from the bun. Cuban- very very good. Dessert were churros and beignets- warm, soft with a crispiness, served with caramel and chocolate sauce. Will be back, definitely a great and unique experience!

    Finally made it to Odd Birds after having it saved on Instagram forever! It happened to be a slow night which was a bit of a bummer since we were on a girl's beach weekend and were hoping for more of a lively vibe. Still, I'm so glad we finally got to check this gem out! The decor is just as cute and quirky as it looks online, but the real star of the night was the drinks. We all opted for the bartender's choice, and he absolutely nailed it! Four unique and delicious cocktails, each perfectly crafted to our individual preferences. It was such a fun and personalized experience! Can't wait to come back, hopefully on a busier night to soak in the full vibe!

    Oddbirds hosted an Edgar Allan Poe event that was so much fun! Traveling actors did a wonderful job of performing 4 different pieces of his works as well as bus and serve 4 different craft cocktails! Each cocktail was a representation of the prose recited and all were wonderful! I did not take pictures of the drinks as the lighting was dark but each was a unique experience! Definitely recommend seeing these performers. Their next stop is Ybor city in Tampa!

    Honestly it wasn't my favorite. I wanted to like it but for the price the portions could have been better, it seemed like every dish was lacking just one thing to make it great. May give it another try, but I feel it would be only because of the cute decor than the food or drink

    Loved how they served the beer
    Rick P.

    Really unique place. Outside kind of covered and indoor seating. Very well stocked bar. Menu is small but lots of interesting things to choose from. Started off with a beer. Nothing on draft but plenty of small batch brewery selections to choose from. Appetizer was empanadas. Very good and dipping sauce was really good. Candyce did the odd burger which was loaded with bacon and double patties. Side was black beans and rice. I had the Cuban with the plantains side. Glad I chose that side. Very good and different. Brought the check in a book with past people writing in it. Very unique. Make sure you get a picture in giant bird cage at the entrance.

    I'll be here every time I come to St. Augustine. Great cocktails and service. Had the happy hour food and the arepa and Cuban sandwich were fantastic. Cool vibe and music.

    Birria Enchiladas
    Isabella V.

    Starting with the food. I ordered the Cachapa, elote gnocchis with chicken and the birria enchiladas. The gnocchis were absolutely amazing -- they were stuffed in the middle, which gave them such a unique and unexpected flavor. The dish overall was insanely good and easily my favorite. Highly recommend it. The Cachapa was tasty but expensive for what it was. But nonetheless still a good item. The barria was a little dry, but aside from that, everything was great. Service was also very fast, which we appreciated. Overall, a really solid spot with standout food. Seating both inside, outside and a bar

    We loved this place! We booked a 4 p.m. reservation on a Saturday for lunch, but the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, so reservations may not be necessary for lunchtime. The service was incredibly quick. We were seated immediately, and our server came by right away to take our order. Our drinks arrived in under five minutes, and our food followed about 15 minutes later. The staff was fast, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The ambiance was another highlight. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with charming Christmas accents sprinkled throughout. There was so much to look at that our eyes kept wandering around the room. The only downside was that it felt a bit warm and humid inside. We had walked about half a mile to get there in the middle of the day, so it took a while to cool off, and the fans didn't seem to help much. The drinks were fantastic! The drinks we ordered had unique flavors that really captured the essence of Florida. They were tropical, bright, and had a delicious coconut-forward profile. For our meal, we ordered the Parilla for Two for $55, and everything on the platter was so good. We loved every component, with the only minor complaint being that the chorizo was a bit too greasy. Other than that, the portion was generous, flavorful, and definitely enough to satisfy two people. We wanted to try more items from the menu, but the platter filled us up completely. We truly enjoyed everything we tried at Odd Birds and would love to return. They also have a speakeasy, which we plan to check out on our next visit!

    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.

    The Ice Plant is one of those places where the experience starts before you ever take a bite of…read morefood. The decor fits St. Augustine perfectly. Antique, rustic, comfortable, and full of enough character that you almost feel like you've stepped 200 years back in time. Then the drinks arrive, and suddenly you realize you've been transported into the future of cocktails. I wish I could remember the name of the drink I ordered because it was spectacular. Whiskey, a little sweetness, mint, and crushed ice. That's about all I can tell you. What I can tell you is that I could have happily consumed about 30 of them, tumbled down the stairs, and been perfectly happy about the whole experience. My wife went with the Mojito, and it was brilliantly constructed. The crushed ice and layered mint made it look almost too good to drink. Almost. The drinks absolutely deserve five stars. Then came the blue crab beignets, and they were spectacular. That's the kind of appetizer that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy enjoying what's happening. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to the cocktails. The fish dip was very average and lacked much flavor, and the menu itself felt pretty limited. So here's the deal: if you're coming to The Ice Plant for drinks, I would have no problem giving it five stars. The cocktails are that good. This is a highly recommended stop for a drink in St. Augustine. But I have to review the entire experience, and the limited menu and average fish dip bring the overall experience down a notch. Four stars. Come for the drinks. Stay for the atmosphere. Definitely order the blue crab beignets. And if you happen to find yourself three cocktails deep, admiring the antique decor while contemplating the stairs, maybe just take your time.

First, the seating. The tables are unusually tall, making us feel like little kids trying to sit at the adults' table. It wasn't comfortable for anyone in our group. Then there were the lights. They continuously blinked above our table, and it was so distracting that we asked to move. Unfortunately, the second table had the same issue. I know St. Augustine is famous for its ghosts, but I wasn't expecting them to be playing with the lights at 7:00 p.m. while the sun was still shining! The biggest frustration was ordering. We were told menu items could be modified, but after placing our order the server kept returning one item at a time to tell us they actually couldn't make the requested changes. It would have been much better to know that before ordering. The pickle appetizer was another disappointment. Based on the description, I expected a pickle-forward appetizer. Instead, it was mostly kimchi, pickled onions, and other pickled vegetables with only five slices of actual pickles. I honestly don't have the words to describe how disappointing that dish was. I was also excited to try the tzatziki green beans, but the crisp pickled green beans tasted more like fermented green sticks than an enjoyable side dish. The baked Brie arrived with what I initially thought was melted cheese inside the croissant, but it turned out to be undercooked raw dough. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had just taken a bite of raw dough. I actually started feeling sick before we even left the restaurant. My younger son ordered the house root beer, which tasted extremely watered down. He also had the pasta with added grilled chicken, but the chicken was dark meat, overly shiny, and completely unappetizing to him. I ordered the non-alcoholic Velvet Slippers mocktail. One sip was enough--I honestly can't find the words to describe how unpleasant it tasted. My friend ordered the steak sandwich and requested the peppers be left off. After ordering, she was told they couldn't accommodate that request, so she had to pick the peppers off herself and still didn't enjoy the sandwich. My older son ordered the lamb sirloin. Even though lamb is often served medium-rare, this was so rare it looked like it was still bleating. We paid our bill before dessert because my stomach was already upset. I ended up making one last stop in the restroom before catching up with my family, who were already halfway down the street, ready to forget Forgotten Tonic. Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Between the uncomfortable seating, blinking lights, inability to accommodate simple modifications, disappointing food, and getting sick before leaving the restaurant, we won't be returning.

We dropped in late afternoon and grabbed a few seats at the indoor bar. The bar staff here works the entire bar I'm sure we were greeted by all of them during our visit and each provided exceptional service. The drinks here are very creative and all come with very generous pours, if you like rum this is a place you'll fall in love with after your first sip - we decided to just go down the drink menu and try as many as we could responsibly and immediately knew this would be a favorite when in the area. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite drink and it would be just as tough to pick a favorite off their small bite menu. We decided to try a few of the specials, it's a relatively simple menu but everything is filled with flavors that are incredible - the char-grilled oysters are plumb, fresh and unique in every way, the fried black grouper bites were crispy served with a delicious remoulade and a spicy jalapeño chimichurri that will light up your tastebuds, we also tried the jerk chicken thighs skewers and amazing crab empanadas filled with a curry concoction like no others. The portions are large enough to share and really balance out the cocktails, this was a really nice experience and one I plan to repeat in the near future, with all the options in St. Augustine this one is at the very top of the list in my opinion and with parking at a premium in the area they have plenty, definitely worth a try...

The renovations are a massive improvement over the previous bar, and the atmosphere is genuinely lovely. The Good: The food is generally solid. The fish dip and salads are nice, and I've had the smash burger a few times--it's amazing. The fish sandwich I ordered was very bad and I couldn't get a member of staff's attention so left it uneaten. The Bad: Unfortunately, my most recent visit was entirely derailed by the service. We sat at the bar and the experience was frustrating. The female bartender (dark hair, glasses) repeatedly interrupted me while I was trying to order, and then got my drink wrong. When I tried to correct it, she literally walked away. My friend tried to order for me, but three bartenders were huddled together chatting and completely ignoring the patrons. We spent a lot that night, and leaving a fish sandwich I didn't enjoy (and couldn't send back due to lack of service) just added to the disappointment. I sincerely hope management addresses the bar staff's lack of attentiveness, because if this continues, this cute place won't last. I'd be happy to speak with the manager directly about this, as we are locals who want to keep coming back.
