    My wife and I are new to Saint Augustine and tried this restaurant based on all the great reviews. It did not disappoint. The beef tartare was amazing as were the escargot. I had the Wagyu beef, which was definitely worth the price because the flavor was so fantastic with truffle foie gras butter, oh my God! My wife had the duck which she really loved as well. I don’t think you can miss at this restaurant.

    Wonderful place to kick off Christmas celebrations with friends. The atmosphere and decor was beautifully done and inviting and comfortable. Online pictures do not do it justice! i had the winter salad as my starter which was a special for this evening. It was dressed to perfection. We even complimented the host as each bite was so flavorful. The Osso Bucco was delicious and the wait staff could not have been more outgoing and accommodating! Already made my next reservation! 10/10
