We used to go to the A1a Beach Blvd location for a nice evening out. Tonight was our first time at the new location. The new restaurant is beautiful, the servers were great. The food was very good. Many previous favorites on the menu. My favoriteMy Rack of Lamb was undercooked. I ordered Medium, but received them nearly raw (took them home to cook more). Bread was cool. Butter was tasty but nearly frozen.

Our first dinner since they moved from their hotel location. The quality and service remain suburb. They have created a beautiful room on the third floor of the winery.

Everything was lovely till the end. The ceviche was delicious, and so was the salmon. The New Zealand Lamb did not have much flavor. Wine and cocktails were delicious too.

Wonderful place to meet old friends while passing through St Augustine. We noticed the patio is dog friendly, which is a huge plus to note (even though we did not have our dog). Atmosphere and food were perfect for our lunch plans. Service was so so. Server never returned to refill or ask to refill beverages.
