    We were looking for a good place to eat after spending the day with the kids at Hogwaller not far…read moreaway. I saw a faded sign for the restaurant, checked the reviews and photos and said well let's try it! On arrival my dining mates (husband and another couple) looked at me like I'd lost my mind - it's eclectic for sure! But they had good drinks and the food was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was a trip and it's everything I want from small town, old school Florida. Great option to check out after you go to Island Grove Winery! I also wanted to address some of the other reviews insinuating poor service based on race. As a table of ghost white people sat in the back dining room when the whole place seemed pretty empty....the service was not at the pace of a chain that's trying to flip tables as fast as possible. Even with three exhausted kiddos with us close to bed time we just ordered another round, let the kids explore the taxidermy and the books.

    We went to this restaurant on recommendation from our airboat driver, and they did not disappoint…read more We were seated right away and the hostess and the waitress were fabulous. They really took care of us. My husband got a Caesar salad with blackened chicken and I got the combo plate with gator, frog legs and catfish and it was so amazing. I have to say probably one of my first favorite things were the collard greens with bits of ham in it superduper delicious. They make a great drink. My husband liked their sweet tea, and I had a gin and tonic, which was really full of gin! We had no room for dessert, but the ones that walked past the table looked amazing. I really recommend this restaurant.

    I went to their brother lounge, No Name Lounge for happy hour. They had a well cocktail for 8…read moredollars during happy hour (4 to 7) everyday. I took the suggested old fashioned for the drink. I was stunned that was only 8 dollars. It's was a strong drink and got me happy immediately. I felt the buzz immediately and really helped made my late afternoon. My bartender was friendly, and made a great drink for me. The atmosphere is just a nice hotel bar, and nothing fancier. There were a couple TVs, and the immature me had to watch SpongeBob SquarePants. It's located at the Hilton, and parking is free. For a strong old fashioned costing 8 dollars during happy hour is a steal, especially at a higher end hotel. I'm so glad I'm staying here and took advantage of this deal. This helped me make my evening when I am becoming my own worst critic. Overall: A+

    Some names come with expectations built in. Shula is one of them. When you see that name on the…read moredoor, you're not thinking "pretty good." You're thinking dialed in, no shortcuts, done right every time. This one didn't get there. The hotel lounge pulls from Shula's kitchen, so I kept it simple with French onion soup and chicken wings. The soup came out lukewarm with cheese that never quite melted. Flavor was decent, but it felt unfinished, like it got called to the plate a few minutes too early. The wings followed the same pattern. Mediocre across the board. Not hot in temperature, not hot in spice, just kind of there. Nothing was bad enough to send back, but nothing came close to what the name sets you up to expect. And that's really the issue. When the bar is that high, "fine" ends up feeling like a miss. Three stars.

    One of my favorite venues that I have EVER been too and I have been to quite a few with my Husband…read more Everyone here is always so darn happy and very quick with getting my answers to the questions that I have when I come here! One thing I love about this venue is their free shuttle system that takes you to your car (which is free parking) during the concerts. The venue is on the smaller side so it feels more intimate for the artists. There are a few areas where seating is obstructed but they do mention that when buying tickets. One tough thing about this venue is the merch line usually tends to get MASSIVE and I have seen people miss a handful of songs while waiting in it if an artist takes the stage. Bathrooms are usually clean but they are scattered around so you may need to hunt for them. Drink prices are pretty reasonable and they usually have a drink of the night that is slightly discounted. They also have a reusable cup that you can bring throughout the night for a couple dollars off refills!

    Working musician here and I was surprised to be so disappointed with the sound. Sound system is…read morepoorly designed. They lack coverage of the near pit area, especially pit 2 (center), so the mix is extremely muddy when you see a driving rock band. You get a lot of low frequency (bass and kick drum) that eats up the mid-range frequencies of the vocals, keyboard and guitar solos. They needed to put "fill" speakers over the stage to project down to get adequate coverage. Being an amphitheater with no real walls, mixing this venue was always going to be a challenge. But there is a design issue to could be rectified. Otherwise, the venue is fine. Parking is a bit of a hassle since most people have to shuttle from a remote lot, and there will be (sometimes long) waits for shuttles, but they do have a system. Food is up and down. Look for the food trucks parked to the right of the concessions as you walk up. You sometimes find some good options there. Everything else is basic "ballpark" fare. Bathrooms seemed fine. Just a couple of them so you will wait at peak times, but people move thru quickly. Not a bad venue other than the sound issue. Probably fine if you want to jump around and dance to your favorite band without hearing any definition in the sound, or if you see and act that is not so driving (saw Allison Krause there last year and her more sparse, delicate sound played well there). Toad The Wet Sprocket and Men at Work tonight, ugh. Couldn't hear the keyboards, much of the guitar work, or any of the lyrics all night long.

    St Augustine Amphitheatre - Canopy that covers lower bowl - notice the storm clouds - the canopy gets real important in inclement weather.
