   We were stuck by a train and a little late. They were accommodating. We ordered a salad, burger and two duck pasta dishes. The pasta dishes were more brothy/watery than saucy. And they came out just warm in temperature. Almost like it had been sitting out? Flavor was good and I was hungry so I demolished mine! Service also felt like it took longer than usual but when they did it was attentive. I'll still come back but didn't feel like it was up to par and value. It was 48 dollars for my pasta and a drink.

   Thanks for sharing your experience, Nina—we really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. The duck pasta definitely shouldn’t be watery, and it should’ve been served hot, so we’ll check in with the kitchen team to make sure we’re hitting the mark. Nick was your server that evening, and we’re glad to hear he was attentive, but if anything ever feels off during your meal, we always encourage guests to let a manager know in the moment and give us an opportunity to make things right in the moment. We’d love the chance to give you a stronger experience next time.

   Simply the greatest cocktail menu in Northeast Florida, and one of the best food establishments as well. The service, ambience, and quality of the menu offerings (that cocktail menu though!) are hard to beat.

   Max, what an amazing compliment—thank you! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the cocktail menu (our bar team will be especially proud to hear this!) and that the food and atmosphere hit the mark too. Can’t wait to have you and your guests back for another round!

   Love the mussels. Like that it is out of the main streets and when weather permits eating outside.

   Jo Carol, we always love seeing your name pop up—thank you for your continued support! So glad to hear you enjoyed the mussels and the outdoor vibe off charming Aviles St. Looking forward to the next time you're in with us!

   We had a fantastic meal at Forgotten Tonic! The FT Burger, fresh catch, and chef’s cut steak were all excellent, and we loved the fried artichoke and hummus starters. Their take on a gin and tonic was fresh, unique, and absolutely delightful. The restaurant has a very cool, intimate vibe, and our server was attentive without being overbearing. The kids’ menu is cleverly named with options like “I don’t care,” but the portions were pretty small. Definitely recommend making a reservation—it’s a spot worth planning for!

   Stacey, we’re so glad you and your guests had such a great experience! Love that you enjoyed the variety—from the starters to the cocktails. The kids’ menu always gets a smile, but we appreciate the note on portion size—we’ll take a closer look at that. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback and for planning ahead to dine with us on Aviles Street!

   Four of us ordered different meals. None of them were very good. Very disappointed. But a neat place for drinks.

   Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re really disappointed to hear the food didn’t meet expectations, especially since that’s not the experience we strive to provide. Do you recall if your server—James, I believe—was made aware during your visit? We always appreciate the chance to make things right in the moment. If you're open to sharing more details, feel free to reach out to us. Your input helps us improve.
