    Our party was a little early for our reservation, however we were seated immediately. We were given light-up holiday hats for everyone in the party because we made a reservation online. So cool! The ambiance was lovely, all decorated for Christmas, a cool little bar, and awesome holiday themed cocktails. The waiter was very attentive. Amazing food! Get the burger! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The shrimp bisque was also quite good. My only negative is the price, but I’d rather spend $150 for a meal that supports a small business, with quality hand-crafted food than pay the same for a chain restaurant of the same predictable menu items. We love St. Augustine and come up every December for Night of Lights. We hope to visit Forgotten Tonic again next year!

    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.

    We were fortunate to enjoy another celebration at Michael’s St. Augustine before they close on 12/31/24. Thank you for 5 great years of wedding and anniversary celebrations! We look forward to keeping our tradition alive at one of your other restaurants in 2025. If you haven’t experienced the great food, warm ambiance, and attentive service of Michael’s, do yourself a favor and book before they close!
