    Fantastic experience! Staff was SO welcoming and attentive. Loved the Pear Wine Sangria which was crisp and clean, not overly sweet. Loved the Lobster Bisque, Pear Salad and Rack of Lamb. And the Tres Leche Cake—YUM! We’d like to come back to the rooftop bar which had a very cool vibe. Highly Recommend La Cocina!

    Wonderful meal and service at a new restaurant for us. We ordered a lot off the seasonal menu and nothing was a disappointment. Fair prices in a touristy area that offers a more relaxed vibe and elevated dining. Good portions of great food and shout out to our server, Alyssa, offered perfect recommendations, a great attitude, and the best service. Thanks for a great date night.

    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!

    Enjoyed birthday dinner, starting with delicious Montenegro meatballs(great sauce) and tuna tartare(good balance). Perfect whiskey sours. We liked the duck pappardelle and pasta alla vodka as comfort food. Nice chocolate mouse cake for birthday, good crust. Good service from Ashley and beautiful Xmas decorations. Cute hats to take home, fun idea.
