    "Good Vibes, great bites!"
    Eva-Tanja C.

    Our dinner at The Press was a delicious blend of comfort food and classic favorites. We started with the lightly breaded calamari, which was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and perfectly seasoned. The breading was light enough to let the fresh flavor of the calamari shine, and the grilled pineapple added just the right touch. For the main course, my husband went with The Conquistadore Burger--juicy, well-seasoned, and stacked with bold toppings that created a rich, satisfying bite every time - this burger won best of St Augustine. I ordered the Steakhouse Burger, which was equally impressive, boasting a smoky, savory flavor that paired perfectly with its hearty toppings. Both burgers were served on house made buns and came with one side. Service was prompt and friendly, and the relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy the evening. By the time we left, we were already talking about what we'd try on our next visit. Rating: -- A great spot for a casual meal with food worth coming back for. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

    I didn't order this burger but had to take a photo!! Staff said it's called the vanquisher.

    We will find any reason to drive 95 miles to St Augustine just to be able to grab a burger here. Lunch or dinner, it's all good! And it's not all burgers... check out the menu there something for everyone. It's a small establishment with amazing staff & fast chefs. Seating is mainly inside with a few casual tables outside the front entrance. Establishment is in a plaza with shared parking.

    Steakhouse Burger and the Conquestidor. Burger!!!

    From the delicious pretzel and beer cheese and homemade fried pickles For starters - then the burgers were amazing!!!! To top it almond the white chocolate bread pudding was AMAZING! And all served by our wonderful waitress Audrey! Great job! We will be back for sure!!!

    Chipotle beer cheese flatbread.

    Wow! The food is incredible. Their signature burger is absolutely incredible and different. Steaks are great. Good flatbreads. Deserts looked incredible going by. Service was great. Food cake out pretty fast. Very unassuming ambiance.

    Seafood pot pie

    If I could give it more stars I would. This place hands down rocked my world! I had the filet mignon, with grilled veggies and the most amazing shrimp and lobster cream sauce and my husband had seafood pot pie. I can't wait to come back to this little gem.

    Mushrooms n onions on the side

    Traveling, he drove past it while I ck on yelp,looked good so we turned around. Got there around 5, not a big place. Sam the bartender was welcoming and made my man happy with a cold Amstel Light, his fav! I got the chicken corn chowder, nice n hot with a kick to it. Prime rib sandwich was good, could have used more meat. He enjoyed the salad that came with it and the mushrooms (for me ) n onions on the side. When we were leaving the place was filling up. Definitely would go back, pictures do not do them justice.

    Prime Rib Sandwich

    The Press is a cozy spot in a strip mall. We had to make reservations for this small place, otherwise we would not have been seated. Food was good. Portions were large and the service was good. We were interested in trying the large pretzel with the cheese sauce. So yummy. For entrees we had the goat cheese and spinach flatbread, the el Cuban, the Cabernet mushroom and Swiss burger, the prime rib sandwich and side salad. The burger was really good, but I don't care for Swiss cheese. It seems you can't ask for substitutions here. However, I did like it regardless. The day we dined had a dessert special of Key Lime Pie for $5, so look for that on Thursday nights, if available. The portions were good but overall I thought the prices were fair considering the quality of ingredients. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. We had a really good experience here, but you must make a reservation if you want to sit in dining area.

    Bread pudding try it you will love it

    Lunch at The Press today. Arrived after the lunch rush. Plenty of tables and parking out front. Wife and I shared the prime rib sandwich with fries. Excellent got it with onions and mushrooms. Added a side salad and a bowl of French onion soup excellent taste. For dessert their white chocolate bread pudding so yummy. So it's a 5. Worth a visit. Excellent food and service thanks to Tammy and the team.

    The small dining room was packed, and dinners were patiently waiting inside and outside. That was the indicator of excellent cuisine. This chef driven, no kidding tasty food and extremely friendly place won our heart last night. We drove from Orlando to the Nights of Lights in St. Augustine, and decided to have dinner at The Press. The Open Table reservation at 7 truly helped. We walked in at 7 and Brystol asked me, "Are you Tony?" Then she sat us right away. The folks in the queue was impressed. Brystol was also our server. We recommended the Sangria, so we took one red and one white. They only have beers, wines, and Sangria. We started with the Ginger Calamari, which was delicious and fresh. I also tried the House Onion Soup, which I really liked the way it was -- not so much of cheese and I could taste the sweetness of the onion and other ingridients. We ordered the 2 special dishes of the evening, both with a touch of New Orleans flavors. I had the steak and shrimp, with medium heat; my guest had the fish and shrimp. The entree portions were huge, but well garnished. My medium steak was perfect. I loved the way the greenbeans were cooked, still green and crunchy. Each main course came with a side salad with a dressing of choice. No room for desserts after such a great meal. I couldn't get the name of the young man who expedited the food, but he made the dining experience special, with nice smiles and prompt attention. I wish this place can grow and perhaps expend its dining room by taking over the spot next door. They deserve the higher ranking though not to be right at the historic corridor. I sincerely thanked the culinary team and Brystol for such a great dining experience. We will return soon.

    So comforting, like home.

    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.

    Good atmosphere and the food coming out of the kitchen looked and tasted great -- no complaints…read morethere. 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.

Such a cute place but we felt like the staff was just blah. No personality, not helpful, nothing. Not interactive or engaging. Maybe it was an off night for everyone. I will give it another chance.

It gave modern tiki bar feeling, it was clean and felt very warm and inviting. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender and a very extensive and beautiful leather bound menu! I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs. Both were fantastic!! If we didn't already have dinner plans, we would have stayed here for dinner! Definitely will be coming back here next time we are in town and every time after that!
