    Shrimp & Grits
    Mike S.

    I had never been to Sainte - George but when someone wants to get brunch I am always in. We made a reservation for the balcony for 4 people. We arrived and were quickly taken to our table. The inside is very nice but the balcony is for your where it's at. Just amazing views. Probably one of the best in Downtown St Augustine. We looked over the menu and I will say both food and drinks were more on the pricy side but nothing crazy. None of their cocktails were calling my name so I went with a glass (or 2) of the Riesling for $10. The menu had a lot that sounded good: Mains, Handhelds, and of course Breakfast options. Our waitress was very helpful going over the options and what was good. I of course ended up on one of my brunch classics, Shrimp and Grits. Our food came out after 15 minutes after ordering. I will say this was were things were lacking. The Shrimp & Grits was just kind of bland. It was stated that the shrimp were blackened which they had some seasoning but still didn't give them the flavor it needed. The Andouille Sausage seemed like your typical Hillshire Farms and didn't help with more flavor either. I will say the shrimp were cooked perfectly which for sure saved the dish. I would come back for the views, service, and drinks, but might be passing up on food next time.

    Location was great. We stopped by to had some dinner on a busy Saturday. Place looked nice and we decided to sit outdoors. Food was good. We had some salmon and Risotto. Maybe both a little on the oily side? But they tasted good. Ambiance was good with lovely music in the background. Service started good but went downhill. We didn't have utensils and napkins or water refills, when our food came. Manager offered us free dessert or drinks for the oversight. We didn't want any that night, so I guess is good that management wanted to apologize. We kept having not too great of a service during the night. Well, if you are in the area, you might consider stopping by and have an experience of your own. Hopefully yours will be much better. Happy dinner!

    First of all, I want to thank my boyfriend for choosing this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere and the terrace were amazing, and the food was excellent--we'll be back.

    Service and atmosphere were fantastic! Our server (I believe his name was Caleb) was so friendly and helpful. He helped us narrow down what we should eat a few times! I ended up ordering the bacon, egg and chorizo waffle sandwich. It was good but I wish it had felt a little more up scale. The vibes of the restaurant are so nice and intimate, but the food felt a bit commercial. I enjoyed my sandwich a lot but next time I would probably try something new.

    A Disappointing Valentine's Day Experience I always try to give a restaurant some grace on Valentine's Day, knowing it can be one of the most challenging nights of the year for service staff. However, our experience at Sainte-George Restaurant in St. Augustine left us unimpressed--not because of the holiday rush, but due to poor coordination and disappointing hospitality. The Good: Let's start with the positives. The food itself was solid. I had the filet mignon, which was decent--nothing spectacular, but well-prepared and served with carrots and potatoes. While the price wasn't the best value, it was reasonable given the setting. Naomi, the bartender, was the highlight of the night. She was friendly, efficient, and handled our order with professionalism. The Issues: We had a 5:30 PM reservation and were promptly seated on the outdoor patio. Normally, this would be a pleasant setting, but at 60° with wind, it was far from comfortable. Our hostess mentioned she would bring water and be right back, yet 10 minutes passed with no service--no water, no server, nothing. Realizing it would be too chilly to enjoy the meal, I went inside to ask if we could be moved. I was told there were no available seats inside, but we could sit at the bar itself--not at the bar-side tables, as those were "reserved." We opted for the bar, making the best of an uncomfortable situation. Then came the frustrating part. Throughout our meal, we watched multiple walk-in customers--without reservations--get seated at the very bar-side tables we were told were unavailable. Even more frustrating, two couples who sat at these tables quickly left after seeing the limited menu or high prices. It was disappointing to see tourists given preferential treatment over a couple with a reservation. Final Thoughts: For a $90 per person experience, we expected a more seamless and professional dining experience. Instead, we encountered disorganization, poor communication, and an arbitrary seating policy that seemed to prioritize walk-ins over reservations. While we are locals and always on the lookout for great restaurants in St. Augustine, we won't be returning to Sainte-George. The area is filled with fantastic dining options that offer both better service and a stronger value for the price. If you're visiting and looking for a memorable meal, I'd recommend exploring elsewhere.

    Four stars for the ambience! The service wasn't that great and we're a little disappointed that our drinks weren't refilled. It took quite a while for someone to come by to take any orders, but she tried to rush the kids meals. I think the waitress tried her best but she never really came around. The restaurant is quaint and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was portioned pretty small but it was good. The bar is pretty upstairs as well but the restroom needed a little TLC. I like the location though, easy to get to if you're already on St. George street. Try it if you're in the area though if you want a nice meal.

    I thought I had left a review for this place when we had dinner but I don't see one so let's drop on for brunch. First off the upstairs and outside seating is awesome. Really great view. Plenty of open seats but it is a Friday at lunch time. Great sounding choices. Got a bowl of the mushroom soup. Pretty tasty but it didn't knock my socks off. Missing something. For main we had the Thai noodle salad. It was ok but like the soup it seemed to need a little something more. Maybe more sauce. Over pretty good food with great views. Nice to sit and chill.

    I made a reservation about three weeks in advance for Valentine's Day. We arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time and were seated at an outdoor table on their upstairs balcony. After we were seated, no waiter came around for about ten minutes. It was a cold and windy night so my husband went down to the hostess and asked if we could move down to the bar area instead. She said yes, but only to be seated at the bar and not a table. We were so hungry that we agreed to sit at the bar. While we ate our dinner at the bar, we saw other diners come in with no reservations and get a table in the bar area. Poor customer service from both the hostess as well as the upstairs waiter. The menu offered 3 appetizers, 4 entrees and one dessert option. I had the lobster pasta and my husband had the filet mignon. The food was fine.

    The world's worst and most overpriced nachos.
    Nicky W.

    Went today for the happy hour menu and could not have been more disappointed. We ordered mojitos, which were fine but nothing special, and nachos. The nachos were absolutely horrible - plastic cheese like the movies and stale chips. We could not believe that any decent restaurant would serve them. We voiced our disappointment to the waiter twice and he was apathetic. We were charged $12 for them. Whoever put them on plate and sent them out should be embarrassed.

The Ice Plant location was historically St. Augustine's first power and ice complex. Now the building has been revitalized and has The Ice Plant and The St. Augustine Distillery. The St. Augustine Distillery is connected to The Ice Plant and is a great tour to check out right before heading to grab food at the restaurant. There are a variety of guided and self-guided tours. My spouse and I checked out the self-guided tour right before we grabbed dinner at The Ice Plant. The tour isn't particularly long but was filled with information. After the tour, we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The restaurant feels really spacious with its super tall ceilings. There was lots to look at reminding us of the previous use of the building. We ordered the hand cut fries, strawberry and beet salad, and the gochujang marinated pork chop. I also ordered a few of their drinks, each one featuring different types of ice to fit the drink. Honestly all the food and the drinks were so good, but the easy standout of the night for both my spouse and I were the pork chops. These might have been the best pork chops I've ever had in my life. The pork chops were incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. I was expecting it to be a little dry, as I feel like pork chop can sometimes get overcooked, but no. These were so juicy and tender. I asked our server how the pork chop was cooked. Our server said that the pork chops were cooked sous vide, which makes a lot of sense as to how they were so tender. I've already told my spouse if we are in the St. Augustine area again, I would make a special trip just to get these pork chops again, they were that good. I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was my favorite spot we checked out in the St. Augustine area, if you are ever passing by the area, check The Ice Plant out!

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.
