   This was for Father’s Day. I wanted to see the place due to its history, and the menu looked interesting. The ambiance was all I’d hoped for and the staff were very courteous, but unfortunately the food, while not actually bad, was quite mediocre. I had intended to order shakshuka, which was on the brunch menu, but was told that they had “run out of it” at 11:30 AM. I then ordered the chorizo omelet, which looked good but had virtually no flavor at all.

   Decided to eat here while staying at Casa Monica. Had the meatball appetizer which was tasty. Had the bisque which was much spicier than anticipated, but not overwhelming. Asparagus side was cooked perfectly. Wife enjoyed the bass while I had the pork chop. Kids ordered pork belly and octopus. Both were good, but the octopus was a little burnt. We enjoyed have the music from the piano in the bar playing on the speakers in the dinning area. Server was kind and attentive in the beginning, but it felt like we had to wait a while after we all finished eating. Once he came back, we were given a dessert menu but decided against it because it took so long to be attended to at the end of the meal. We had breakfast there the next morning. Kids ordered hot chocolate which came out extremely sour. Server admitted the machine needed to be cleaned. Oatmeal, chicken and waffles were good, but it took almost ten minutes after sitting down just to get coffee. I asked for a refill, which only came five minutes later with the check. Overall the food was pleasant, but didn’t blow me away. Service could use better training in basic attentiveness.

   Still good, but a little disappointed. I've had brunch here several times, and it has always been pretty impressive. It wasn't bad this time, but just seems to have been toned down a little from in the past. Seems like the menu is more limited. I got an omelette. It was a little skimpy, and dry and overcooked. The coffee and the mimosas were good, and the service was excellent, but overall, just a little bit of a letdown from in the past.

   I made a reservation for our family of 5 for 4pm because my daughter had a performance at the Flagler auditorium at 6pm. When we arrived I walked into the restaurant and had to ask if this was Costa Brava and told them we had a reservation and they had to put tables together just outside the restaurant (bar area) but then another party had gotten up so they cleaned that table and were told that the kitchen does not start serving hot food until 5pm. We were then told that it was cold food menu and a limited menu. When we were almost done with our food we then saw a party of 2 receiving hot dishes around 4:40. The food and drinks were good, however, I was disappointed that I was not informed of the limited menu when I made the reservation. Just want others to be informed of this.

   Really skimpy lunchtime menu. Food order was calamari dish and a hamburger.Took a very long time to arrive at table. Hamburger fresh, hot. Ok overall.French fries seemed to be from supermarket frozen, tasted like that. Calamari almost cold and on top of wilted salad. Flavorless. Server polite and apologetic and removed it from tab. Not worth the wait.

    Service is excellent. Some of the food was too spicy for me so look at the ingredients before ordering. The wedge salad had a very spicy ranch dressing but they took it off my check since I only ate half of it. The jamon croquettes were the best and drinks were very good.

    I made reservations for my family of three to enjoy Mother's day. Sadly, I was called away to serve my country for a few days. I assured my family that this would be a great experience due to the rave reviews I read. Sadly, I was mistaken. My wife and daughter, were greeted and told the party size was changed two. At which point they were directed to the bar area away from the mother's day area and the buffet and pretty much forgotten about after told where the buffet was. The restaurant was not busy yet they were infrequently checked on. I will NOT recommend this restaurant especially after how they treated my spouse who has served with me for over 20 years who just wanted to feel special on Mother's day.

    Very disappointed in the Mother’s Day brunch. Uninspired and meager offerings, poor ambiance and no attempt whatsoever to dress up the buffet as in previous years. Couple this with $95 price tag, it was an epic fail. The fact that it was tagged with “A stroke of genius” as if a buffet needs a name, was laughable. I have treated a table of 14 people in a private room a few years ago and also to Mothers Day buffet five years ago - both excellent. This year was a let down. I won’t be back.

    Their Mother's Day brunch was nothing special and cost $35 pp. Just basic breakfast offerings. Will try again to see what the regular menu is like. Nice atmosphere and good service. Valet parking a plus downtown.

    The food was really good, the dessert was awesome and the service was OUTSTANDING! A little pricey but we are St Augustine locals and understand what we are getting into. My biggest gripe, if I had one, would be the overall noise level. The pianist, who is very good wanted to be the star of the show to an obnoxious level. Soften him up a tad and we are in business. The manager visited twice in 1.5 hours and was a continuous presence in the dining area. He really showed he cares and it was displayed in the overall presentation of the restaurant. We will absolutely be back! DC

    This is an historic venue in luxurious surroundings. Staff are always professional and efficient…..predominately tourist traffic but some locals (like us) prefer the quiet ambiance and avoid this bustling towns frantic dinner scene….the menu is appropriately focused and quite small but every dish is beautifully executed……it’s a solid approach that we prefer……..good wine list, reasonable prices, and extremely convenient valet parking….St Augustine’s down town is difficult with that regard so that is a seriously good benefit.. Vincent (Vinny) who manages the operation is excellent and takes his position extremely seriously……they are a proud team and deservedly so…… I would thank them all for offering a special place to visit in one of the most stunning locations in all of the the Unites States… John E.

    Great service from manager and personnel. They are willing to accomodate all of your needs. Good ambiance. If you are not a fan of spanish food stay with apetizers (Tapas) and drinks. They worth it, particularly the Patatas Bravas and the Octopus with Pork Belly.

    Will not go back. Menu has changed. When we asked our server what would vegetarians eat he said “just read the menu”! They had no vegetarian dishes with any protein in them and the server said the chef cannot make you anything since we have no rice and no pasta. Then after we got our drinks our server disappeared for over 30 minutes and we had to flag down another server just to place our order. The food was not that good, the server and the attitude were horrible and totally not worth the price. Definitely do not order the honeycomb cheesecake it tasted like it was spoiled!

    We went for the Easter buffet at 3 pm. The waitstaff was awesome! Connor took care of us very well. I have allergies and the staff at the buffet was very responsive to my questions. I had a lot to choose from even though I am Celiac and a vegetarian. I don't think it is worth the $95 per person for me because I don't eat any of the meat or seafood, but everything was delicious! We love the Peter Cottontail cocktail too!

The dessert room had fun activities for the kids and that was a plus! Not to mention pictures with the Easter bunny. We will surely make this a yearly tradition.

    This was sadly one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in quite some time. We were one of 4 tables in the entire restaurant. Took 35 minutes after seated to get a waiter and pour a glass of wine (which we brought). The waiter was very disinterested in discussing the menu and when asked about certain dishes basically said “it’s very good” without really describing anything. Orders weren’t taken for over an hour. We were seated at 6:30 and it was 8pm before food arrived. By this time we were 1 of 2 tables in the entire restaurant. There was a true lack of care from the waiter and he seemed totally unconcerned that we had to call for him from from across the room more than once to request food/drinks. We have taken out of town guests here numerous times and took my parents this past Thanksgiving and always enjoyed it. After this last experience, we will not be back as it was practically an embarrassment to take special friends visiting to such a disappointing evening out. The only positive was when the food finally was ordered and arrived, it was hot and very good.

    A real disappointment. Nice menu, a mixture of starters, tapas, paella and other Spanish dishes. Restaurant part of a boutique hotel. Great location. The cocktails were superb, btw. Food: Not so much. One starter, potatoes with datil pepper sauce, was good. The other was not--sauteed mushrooms that lacked garlic and seasoning. More importantly, the paella for two that we ordered was tasteless and the seafood seriously dried out and chewy. We sent it back and to the credit of the establishment the manager came out and offered us something else from the menu. We had a couple of tapas they were both good. Overall, the service from both our waitress and the manager was excellent and we appreciate the fact they allowed us to sub out the paella. At the price point of the restaurant, however, they need to step up their game.

    A very small menu which did not give the flavor of Spain. We were hoping for lots of tapas options but the menu was comprised of 10 total items most of which were salads and sandwiches. Being in a AAA for diamond resort, I would’ve thought better. The server, Karen was terrific and accommodating. I will say she bragged about the sangria and it was fair at best. Look forward to staying at the hotel but probably would pass on the restaurant.
