Loved our food. Service was on point. I got the chicken dish and the cream they put on top was amazing! Drinks were good too. I would recommend the bees knees. Was a little noisy but cute place
Great service and extensive bar menu
Terrific craft cocktails, solid menu, good crowd - saw a camo kilt!
Went here as we were looking for someplace different. Food and drinks were very good. We opted for two appetizers and they were both excellent. Could be a frequent stop for us from now on in St A
Service was very friendly. Cocktails were average. Appetizers were great. Burger ok, Scallops were completely tasteless as was the succotash. Based on all the positive reviews we were very disappointed in the food. Can't say I would go back.
Very good atmosphere the food is amazing and the servers are always very attentive. We plan on coming back.
Food was mediocre and overpriced. The appetizer came burnt as well as the dessert. Steak was ok but not worth 39$. Drinks were good but way over pticed for the size.
We had crab cakes for appetizers & Blackened cobia & shrimp & grits for our entrees and they were excellent.
Service was slow, though our waiter was very friendly. The food itself was mediocre and portions were a bit small. The meatballs were definitely the highlight of the meal.
Staff was wonderful! Everyone friendly. Had FT burgers cooked as requested. Will be back
We LOVED this place. Six friends had a lovely outside brunch with fabulous food, service, and cocktails. HIGHLY recommend!!
First time visiting Forgotten Tonic, really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Jackson our waiter was great!
Good food, friendly service, cosy atmosphere and good cocktails!
Tim at the bar was attentive and nice.
Love when you go to a restaurant and they get it all right. Food and menu was great, loved the eclectic atmosphere snd Jackson our waiter was attentive, fun and was on top of everything. A great night for our group of 7.
The food and cocktails were truly remarkable! There were five of us at dinner and all were incredibly impressed at how good everything was. While we caught the very end of it, the holiday pop-up theme was super cute!
Very good food and service, we will return in a distant future The complete disregard for social distancing, need for decreased capacity and mask use still after one year of pandemic is the unfortunate reality created by local authorities in this restaurant and all others in St Johns county.
Wonderful evening at FT. Service was great and food was delicious.
Fun place with great service and good food. Baked brie was excellent, the burgers were tasty and the fries were served hot and just right.
Food was horrible
Cool place, good food, amazing cocktails and great ambience.
Everything was wonderful. We ordered two appetizers and drinks, all were excellent.
All of our entrees were well prepared fresh, seasoned perfectly and delicious. Tables were socially distant and the staff is wearing masks. The service was excellent and the ambiance was perfect!
Excellent food, service and extremely accommodating.
Everything was absolutely spot on fantastic! Unbelievably impressed. We went for a special birthday dinner for a friend and the service by Kayla was outstanding, the food was out of this world, and they even provided a birthday cake for the birthday girl. Cannot give it enough stars!!!
Super cool place and fun atmosphere! The food was kind of bland and waitress flirted with my husband and took my wine with 2 sips left... Then tried the take my next glass with some left in it too. Overall funny experience but probably wouldn’t go back.
I visited the forgotten tonic for the first time. We were there for a birthday dinner to celebrate my friend. I made reservations for 6 and they sat us promptly. The wait staff and service were great, the food I was not impressed, their wine list was ok and drinks were good. Ambiance was loud and there was not very much social distancing.
This place is a gem. Great staff, food and drinks!
We could not have asked for a better date night! The fruitcake cocktail was amazing!!! I would go back there just for the shrimp and grits!!!!
Much more casual than previous cellar 6. Did not feel special for husband birthday. We were given dirty dishes with dirty water and food on them like they came out of the dirty instead of clean pile. Took a while to get clean plates. Asked for medium burger and got very well done. Fried tomatoes also very crispy. Scallops were tiny. The only excellent thing was my drink and it was overpriced. Felt tacky for what we hoped would be great birthday for hubby especially since we are not going out as much. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.
Took some out of town guests and we were seating in one of the booths. Great atmosphere and the burger was outstanding! Done to temperature and super delicious. Our second time there and they do no dissappoint.
A group of us went Saturday night. The food was scrumptious as well as the cocktails we all enjoyed. Our server was outstanding as well! Super experience- we will be dining at Forgotten Tonic again soon!!
Overall it was an adorable evening. Christmas themed everything!! We opted out of the Gingerbread Old Fashioned and went with their standards...absolutely delectable! Bartenders made fabulous cocktails. Wine list was perfectly abundant and most of the food was stellar!! Only thing that could’ve gone better was our table:/ it was tiny and crammed into an awkward corner like deal, but no biggie. The cocktails made up for it!
We got the bruschetta and Meatballs for an app, both outstanding dishes. Mr. ordered a filet MedWell, however it came out a definitely Medium (which of course I loved.) I ordered the scallops with asparagus and corn succotash. Unfortunately, the scallops may have been sitting too long before the made it to the table because they were way overdone for a girl who knows who finicky searing scallops can be :/ and the succotash could’ve used more flavor/salt.
Kayla was an outstanding part of our evening! Perfectly attentive and timed each dish’s arrival well so we didn’t feel rushed or have the table crowded. A+
Again, overall it was a 4.5 experience! Perfect for a first date, will definitely return for a drink when in town and to get to try the infamous Brie Appetizer 😄
Our experience was exceptional! Super friendly, energetic, great recommendations on food. Made my brothers birthday a memorable one. We will definitely be back!
No social distancing, very few masks worn by the customers. We were so uncomfortable that we ate quickly and left.
I always have a great experience at Forgotten Tonic. The best part are the drinks,they have a great list of cocktails that will have you coming back for more!
Great gluten free options!
Shelby was our server and she was very attentive, personable, and very customer service oriented. My husband had the shrimp and grits and they were outstanding and I had the burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The fries were delicious too as well as our drinks. We loved it. We will return one day.

Great appetizers and wine and enjoyed the overall experience. Will be back!
Excellent atmosphere, food, and service! Cannot wait to go back when we’re in St. Augustine again.
