The Ice Plant is easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The menu is intentionally tight, with just six rotating entrées. Everything is made completely from scratch. Outstanding service, thoughtful food, and a level of craftsmanship you don't come across often. A must-visit in St. Augustine. 10/10. Well done! read more

The Ice Plant - Hand down, the best Shrimp & Grits I have ever had. 10/10. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Came here after our tour of the distillery. They are located just upstairs and offer craft cocktails and food. We didn't get any of the food as we ate before starting the distillery tour but did get a round of drinks. The bartenders were friendly and the restaurant had some nice decor. Worth the stop for a drink if you are doing a tour. read more

This restaurant provided the best fish sandwich I've ever eaten. Service was friendly and prompt. A great place for a very enjoyable lunch!

We visited St Augustine FL in the beginning of September. Such a cool place! Would definitely like to try the dinner menu as it just seems like a good vibe to check out in the evening! Cocktails, apps, salads, and burger were exceptional! Our server offered recommendations which showed to be helpful. read more

. This was our first visit to this place, and we were immediately impressed by the laid-back atmosphere. They had left the iron beams from the building's past as an ice plant intact, which added to the unique charm of the restaurant. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food was deliciously seasoned to perfection. read more

This review is long overdue and while the menu may change, I still highly recommend this local jewel. Hubby and I each enjoyed the gem Caesar salad plus shrimp - he had regular size I had the small salad - paired with a lovely and reasonably priced Chardonnay. We enjoyed our salads on the little upstairs deck. They were delicious and more than filling. Service was friendly and professional. Will definitely return when I'm back in the area! read more

After the distillery tour, we decided to stop at the ice plant for a couple drinks. The place was very cool and spacious. Lots of seats, inside and out. The bartenders were very nice and offered different recommendations. We grabbed our drinks and a seat out on the balcony. The drinks were both very good and flavorful! They had food there too but we didn't eat this time (although it looked good!) read more

6.5 Stars!!! Fantastic in every regards! Me and my gf stopped by one night after not being able to get a table at St. Augustine Fish Camp. I am so glad we did too because I literally had the best app of my entire life here. We ordered: - CIGAR CITY JAI ALAI IPA for me (Tasty) - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO for her (Delish) - BLUE CRAB BEIGNETS (HANDS DOWN THE BEST APP IN AMERICA) - HOUSE MADE PIMENTO CHEESE (Very Good) I had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a reason. I can't say enough about this place because everything about it screams five stars. The interior is romantic and beautiful. It has a great little bar, plus the outside patio area is great. The building itself welcomes you from afar. I cannot wait to return and try more of their food and drinks. I love this place! Enjoy :D read more

Favorite restaurant to visit when we come to St Augustine. This year, I got to bottle my own whiskey! Downstairs, there is a distillery you can tour and a gift shop. The restaurant is upstairs with plenty of air conditioned seating and a bar. Service is always quick and the menu is very succinct. I ordered the mule and the 1/2 lb ice plant burger . The mule is outstanding and the burger is cooked to request and seasoned well. After lunch, wife took me to the distillery to bottle my own bottle of 6 year old whiskey. They walk you through the entire process: filling the bottle, filling out the label and customizing with your info, and corking the bottle, It's not cheap, but definitely a cool experience! read more

On our way back down to the treasure coast, we decided to stop for late lunch in historic St. Augustine. Ice Plant popped up on our search and the menu, cocktails and vibes looked intriguing. There is dedicated parking which is a plus! We were seated promptly and loved the open layout and seating variety on the second floor. We sat in a 2 people booth/chair combo. Emma is a wonderful server, she had the best recs and alternatives to consider! Drinks and food were delicious We got the crab beignets with a remoulade sauce- the outside batter was crispy and gave tempura batter vibes I got the chicken, grits and hoecakes with the Apricot butter (super dangerous and melt in yo mouth yummy). Hubs got the fresh catch sandwich with swordfish and got the buns on the side. Also very good and cooked to perfection I ended up getting hotsauce for the chicken and bought a bottle to go - really liked the flavor of the datil pepper! Afterwards we went down to the first floor. You can get a tour of the distillery (which includes 4 drinks) and browse the gift shop for unique gifts and memorabilia. So glad we stopped in! read more

Spencer was a amazing bartender and i would definitely recommend and come again for him!

It's been a minute since I have been. Let me tell you we were not disappointed! My friend and I started at the upstairs bar as we waited for the remaining party to arrive. Luckily we found 2 seats at the bar and the magic began. As we reviewed the menu we had made our decision. Me= Saltburn. It got me at Tequila and jalapeño. The drink was smooth with a small bite. Although I had hoped for spicer there was no disappointment My Friend = Lolita. A delicious concoction of Vodka,elderflower and Grapefruit. It was beautifully pink! Friends arrived and the drinks kept flowing. We tried Rhinestone Cowboy and some Vodka Martinis. Time for a late lunch. The choices being past Brunch were minimal but oh so satisfying. 2 orders of skillet fried chicken and hoecakes an Ice Plant Burger and a Bistro Steak Sandwich. The food was amazing and the peach butter was Devine but the star was Sarah our waitress. We missed pics of the food as we were deep in conversation when it arrived. If you have not experienced Ice Plant please put it at the top of your list read more

When you get recommended a place by friends, you usually go in with high expectations--which, more often than not, aren't met. The Ice Plant not only met but exceeded them in every way. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was welcoming, and the drinks and food were top-notch. This is not just a bar--it's an experience. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted and served over custom-cut ice they prepare daily. A friend asked for a custom sangria, and the bartenders didn't hesitate to whip up something delicious. The bar team here knows their craft and is happy to create whatever you throw at them. Smoked Local Fish Dip - Served with Old Bay kettle chips and house-made pickles, this was an incredible start. The chips were crisp and well-seasoned, and the pickles were a perfect pairing. House-Made Pimento Cheese - Soft, garlicky toast paired with Guava-Datil jelly gave this dish an unexpected but amazing balance of sweet and savory. Local Fish Sandwich - A massive, perfectly cooked piece of fresh daily catch, lightly dressed so the true flavor of the fish shines through. Served with pickled green tomato, lil gems, and datil remoulade on a brioche bun. Simple, fresh, and flavorful. Fernandina Rock Shrimp Roll - A Maine-style roll with lemon, mayo, and chives on a buttery split-top brioche bun. The portion was generous, and the shrimp was fresh and tender. Skillet Fried Chicken & Hoecakes - Served with collard greens, sawmill gravy, and apricot butter, this was Southern comfort food at its finest. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. If you're in St. Augustine, The Ice Plant is a must-visit. Whether you're there for craft cocktails, fresh seafood, or an unbeatable atmosphere, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

I'm happy we finally got to see experience this place as our friends said we would love it and that we did! I love that this place is farm to table so everything is fresh. Also, I love the ambiance of this place, it's really industrial but has low lighting for a romantic date night which I loved. When you first arrive, there are stairs that you walk up to lead you to the restaurant which it's very open and spacious-2 bars on each side of the restaurant with seating on both sides. The bar I liked because it wasn't too close to the main seating area so if you couldn't find an area at the bar there is lots of room to stand and not be in the way of others. As we waited, I got a drink-forgot the name but it was strong and good. They don't skimp on the liquor. Once we were seated, our friends recommended to get the blue crab beignets and we got the truffle fries, OMG both were delicious especially the beignets-I definitely want to go back just for those! As for my entree, I got the catch of the day which was the corbia and it was delicious. You can taste every bit of how fresh and seasoned the fish and all the components were! It was super filling too. My husband got the fried chicken and hoecakes and he absolutely LOVED his and couldn't finish it all. This is definitely a place worth trying and keeping in rotation every time we come to St. Augustine. We definitely will be back this place has good vibes, good drinks and bomb food! read more

This is a first time to St Augustine and we walked a bit before lunch. We did the distillery tour next door first and nit was ok. If yiu are a bourbon gin rum vodka drinker you won't learn anything. Any way we did a search for scallops in the are as MY wife loves sea scallops. This place popped up as haveg delicious scallops. We arrived and we'll they dont have and she told us never have had scallops..... strikeout on the advertising. Honestly we enjoyed the place. My wife and I split the sheep head fish sandwich with fries. Very good and tasty. My nephew had the po boy and loved it ( but it is a large sandwich). The kicker is THEY CHARGED ME $5.00 TO SPLIT A SANDWICH! OMG are you kidding me? We just dont eat enough to order the full thing. We are not sure we will go back here. Maybe it is a florida thing but they need to rethink this stuff. read more

Why did I not know about this place!? I have to credit seeing this listed on the 2025 Top 25 Places to Eat list for Jax. When I arrived, I came just in time for happy hour which starts at 2:30pm and ends at 5pm. Per the Yelp reviews, I knew I needed to try the blue crab beignets. I also glanced over the happy hour cocktail menu and ordered the champagne cocktail. As the beignets came out, immediately I was shook! These were huge and as you cut into them, wow! The beignets were filled with fresh blue crab meat, the dough itself wasn't undercooked at all. It was very soft with that crispy exterior. I couldn't even eat both of them because they were huge and also I wanted to save room for my lunch. I ordered the grilled octopus and chorizo tacos, which my server said was a great choice. I was thrilled when they came out. The grilled octopus had the perfect chewy texture and seasoning. The chorizo had a little bit of a kick and was an interesting pairing with the grilled octopus and sweet pineapples. The plantains were soft on the inside with a perfect crisp on the ends. Overall, the Ice Plant was amazing. From the awesome atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food, I will be returning when I make another day trip to St. Augustine. read more

Such a unique restaurant located near the historic district of st. Augustine with delicious food. Such a great atmosphere to socialize and the food was so fresh.

Loved loved loved it! My friend and I sat at the bar for a late afternoon snack. The bartender was so good at her job, making the drinks effortlessly, and discussing the pros of the appetizers we wanted to order. I ordered a Napoleon Dynamite to drink, with rum, apple, habanero, spiced pear and lemon, and it was delicious. We ended up sharing a few items to eat. First, the blue crab beignets. We just ordered 2 so we could try them, and they were amazing. They were like crab cake bites, and stuffed with crab meat. We also ordered hand cut truffle fries, which came out as a huge portion and were incredibly tasty. And my favorite item, the Smoked Fish Dip, which was fantastic with Old Bay, Kettle Chips, and pickles. In my mind - this was a perfect meal. The bartender also gave us tips for when we headed to the distillery, which is on the bottom floor of the building, and they came in handy. The Ice Plant will be a must-visit for me any trip in the future to St. Augustine. read more

We waited about 30 minutes, which wasn't bad, went to the bar and ordered my wife a lemon drop, must have been the first time the bartender made one! I requested a Michelob Ultra, but the bartender said they only have Craft beer, so I ordered a Crown Royal with a lime twist, the worst drink I have ever had! We finally got seated at a table for two, right across from each other. The noise was so loud that we had to yell to talk! My wife ordered some chicken, and I ordered ricotta with a sausage sauce....both meals were overpriced for what we got! The only thing we can say positively is that our server was very pleasant and bubbly. I would NOT recommend this place, unless you like a lot of noise, craft beer, and overpriced food! read more

We stopped by Ice Plant on a chilly Saturday afternoon around 2pm for drinks. Already by that time, both bars were standing room only! There were lines at both bars as the bartenders worked to catch up. Once we got our cocktails, I understood the hype. My cocktail, Valley of the Dolls, was SO good. Basically a fancy vodka cran, the lemon and Jamaican bitters added that tartness I love that keeps a drink from being overly sweet. This converted warehouse has the typical industrial vibe, but they've done so in a way that is elevated from typical casual. Make sure to check out the distillery downstairs and the house brewed liquors for take home! read more

Review entirely based on the host. We walked in, attractive family of 3 with our 9lb service dog. The host glared at me so oddly, his eyes were literally bulging. He said no dogs in the restaurant. No hello, welcome, I'm sorry however,.... I told him he is a service dog and pulled out my badge. He said (wait for it-it belies every ADA regulation) "it's it Reallyyyy a service dog?" Do not put it on your lap or the seats he barks at us. Walks us upstairs puts down menus walks away. He then went to the service area and talked about us. Needless to say we left. I told a nice waitress why. Looked like a good place it's sad that he is the first person people meet. He shouldn't be a host. He's the antithesis of a host- he's hostless/hostile/rude. It was as though we were hurting him somehow by attempting to dare to bring a dog in a restaurant and he had zero regard that the dog he deemed so unworthy of his status has actually saved my life. read more

After enjoying a liquor tasting at the Distillery, our group made our way up to The Ice Plant that is located above the Distillery. We came in around lunch time and were sat right away. I liked the decor and industrial bones of the building. This building once was an ice plant back in the day. The bar creates some great cocktails and presses the ice into its shapes. I started with an old fashion and it was strong and delicious. Our server was helpful when deciding what food to order and service was quick. I ordered the panchetta sandwich that came with fries. The sandwich was very large and a really unique mix of flavors. I definitely recommend ordering. The fries were crispy and the server brought out some garlic aioli that was tasty. Overall a great experience here. read more

Great food, great bar, and a great atmosphere to check out. Loved the burger but also the salads were amazing.

4.75 Service- great. Waiter was knowledgeable and nice. Wait time- For two at a fairly early time (6) on a Friday it was a 10 minute wait. Menu- Somewhat limited in options, but does have good options overall. Great drink options - alcoholic, light alcohol, mocktails. My husband had a beer and I had an old fashioned- very good. Vibe- Nice, darker and open. Somewhat of an industrial feel. Upstairs seating, elevator offered. Food- Delicious. Husband had the special- Scallops. Perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth. Pricey at $39 for four scallops, but worth it based on the quality. I had the Roasted Chioggia Beet and Fuji Apple salad. Added shrimp, medium size with 6 total. Shrimp weee average, salad and dressing was superb. Lots of flavor, wood quantity of beets, apples sliced super thin and topped with goat cheese. The honey-sherry vinaigrette was wonderful, a little sweet and a little tart for balance. (And I normally like savory dressings) Will be back. read more
