    Highly recommend this hidden gem! Right off the main square and tucked away on a cobblestone street. The string lights and backlit bar make this the perfect date-night spot. Their cocktails are not only delicious but also have adorable quirky names like "Peach Better Have My Money" It was so fun just ordering that cocktail! The crispy artichoke is an exceptional version of spinach and artichoke dip, soooo good.

    Pork Chop was Ok, not fantastic. Cosmopolitan was a disappointment. Save your drinks for Tini Martini bar.

    James was a terrific server. The half chicken was tender and juicy. The burger was very flavorful. Great cocktails. And, of course, the fried artichoke appetizer was first rate.
    Forgotten TonicResponded on July 7, 2025
    Thanks so much, John! We’re thrilled to hear James took great care of you and your guests, he’ll be happy to get the shoutout. Sounds like you hit some of our favorites too; that fried artichoke appetizer definitely has a fan club. Glad you enjoyed the burger, chicken, and cocktails—hope we get to welcome you back for another round soon!

    It’s our go to spot in downtown St Augustine. The bread and butter is sinful!

    Food & cocktails and service were simply exemplary. Restrooms and vents very clean too, usually restrooms are disastrous at the best of restaurants. Being in the hotel and restaurant business, this is always a clear sign how well a restaurant runs. Abigail was very sweet and professional. We will be back :)
    Forgotten TonicResponded on June 23, 2025
    Julien, it means so much coming from someone in the industry, thank you for noticing the little details that reflect how we run things behind the scenes. We're thrilled you and your guests enjoyed the food, cocktails, and hospitality, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Abigail. Clean vents and restrooms may not be flashy, but they're part of what makes the experience truly great. Looking forward to welcoming you back to our cozy corner on historic Aviles St.

    The food was amazing! Came out fresh. It was well prepared. The chef brought it to the table. He was so so sweet and took pride in his work. It was delicious. I highly recommend. We got the meatball appetizer, steak sandwiches, and pork chop.
    Forgotten TonicResponded on June 23, 2025
    Leah, we’re so glad you and your guests enjoyed everything from the meatballs to the pork chop. Hearing that the chef personally brought your dishes and shared his pride in the food truly means a lot to us. We love those moments that bring a little extra warmth to the table. Hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious visit on charming Aviles St., the oldest street in the country.

    Fantastic evening. Sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for our table. Great mixology going on. Robust specialty drinks. Quite the spectacle. Dinner, drinks, and service was amazing. Get the pickle appetizer. It slays.
    Forgotten TonicResponded on June 18, 2025
    Jeremy, love everything about this! So glad you and your guests enjoyed the full experience, from cocktails at the bar to dinner and hospitality. Our bartenders will be pumped to hear their mixology impressed, and yes the pickle appetizer definitely brings the flavor! Thanks for spending your evening with us on charming Aviles St. Come back soon for more!

    Super great experience in the place. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate us. We had the bread with their special butter, it was to die for. Burrata was on point and the half chicken dish was one of the best dishes that I did know I needed…try it. Drinks were awesome too!
    Forgotten TonicResponded on June 17, 2025
    Jorge, so glad we could get you and your guests seated early and that the whole experience hit the mark! Huge thanks for the love on the bread and butter, simple but so good, and we're pumped you enjoyed the burrata and that half chicken. And cheers to the cocktails too! Can’t wait to welcome you back to our cozy spot on Aviles St. for more.
