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.

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.

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!

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.

This was my favorite stop on my birthday tour of St. Augustine. I don’t think I have ever seen a more impressive drink menu. I had the hummingbird and the Paloma which were both delicious. The portions were large so the pricing was appropriate. I had the mussels and a side of truffle fries and they were delicious. The toast points for the mussels were sooo good and perfect for dipping. My husband had the chicken thigh sandwich and he said it was amazing as well. They gave us a slice of chocolate mousse cake for my birthday and it was heavenly. Our server (I believe it was Ethan?) he was so sweet and really helped to make the experience. He was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. He said he has been there 3 years. We really appreciated him especially that he made my birthday that much better.
Forgotten TonicResponded on June 17, 2025
Hayley, we’re honored to be your favorite stop on your birthday tour—what an amazing compliment! So glad you loved the Hummingbird and Paloma (great picks!), and that the mussels and chocolate mousse cake hit the mark. We'll make sure Ethan hears your kind words, he’s truly a gem and we’re lucky to have him on the team. Thanks for celebrating with us on historic Aviles St., and we can’t wait to welcome you and your guests back for more unforgettable moments!

The food and service was excellent!! We ordered the FT hamburger, Chicken Bella and shrimp n grits. Everything was delicious! We usually have leftovers, but everyone cleaned their plates. Our server Eve was super helpful and friendly! We were celebrating a birthday and she surprised us with a slice of chocolate mousse cake. It was beautifully decorated with chocolate sauce and a sparkler candle. A very memorable evening for our family! It was our first trip to Saint Augustine . If we are ever back, we will definitely return to forgotten tonic!!

Cornelia, this absolutely made our day! We're so glad your first trip to St. Augustine included a memorable evening with us on historic Aviles St. Huge thanks for the kind words about the FT Burger, Chicken Bella, and Shrimp & Grits, we love hearing those plates came back clean! Eve will be thrilled to know she made your celebration extra special with that chocolate mousse surprise. Can’t wait to welcome you and your guests back next time you’re in town!
