The drinks, apps and food were very good. A little time between ordering and delivery during each however we were not in a rush. The Manhattan while tasty was a little small for the price. We all enjoyed our meals and had a great time.

Very enjoyable experience with friends. Our first time dining at Forbidden Tonic, we especially wanted to visit during the Christmas popup. The Christmas decor was festive which really set the mood. From the moment we entered we were greeted. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious, especially the shrimp & grits. We also enjoyed the Cajun egg rolls and the chicken Bella. The meal was so delicious my husband went to the kitchen to compliment the Chef.

To put a surcharge that you claim are for employee benefits is totally ridiculous. That is on the business not the consumer . Even though the consumer can back out of the surcharge it makes the customer look bad to the waitress/ waiter even though you gave a good tip. For that reason Ill never go back as long as that policy is in effect!

We had friends visiting from out of town and wanted to take them somewhere fun for drinks and dinner. We had never been to Forgotten Tonic, but it had been on our short list for some time. The cocktails and food were fantastic, and our service was great after a bit of a slow start. My one complaint is that the cocktail prices were very high (even by downtown St. Augustine standards). I'm not sure whether that's because "Miracle" was still going on and we ordered from the themed menu. In any case, we had a great time and will definitely return!

Everything was very good , I suggested to the owner to add tablecloths or placemats, it gives you a better sensation and it reduces the noise. I personally don’t like bare tables.

Cute restaurant in art district of downtown St Augustine. Went for lunch so didn’t try cocktails. We enjoyed our food, everything tasted delicious. A member of my party felt that squash soup was not hot enough. Tried red fish for the first time, and it was amazing. Want to go back for dinner.

The food was amazing. There was a lot of flavor - we went with the chicken egg roll and the pasta primavera and pork chop. We also had a few cocktails- the apple martini was by far my favorite (tasted like apple pie). The service was great and the restaurant is really cool. However, the noise was awful. It was hard to have a conversation. If you’re looking for a quiet date night maybe not but it’s definitely worth checking out!

It was our 1st time here. Looking for new dining experience in St. Augustine. Read reviews & gave it a try. Cozy, warm, friendly place. Holiday decor was pretty. Good bar scene, booths, tables. Our server, Eden, was very professional, attentive, & personable. Excellent rink selection, a bit price, but different variety than most. Apps were delicious & generous portions. Mains also scrumptious. Will return. Recommend.

We had a great time! The drinks and food were good, but pricey for what you get. The drinks are either small or full of ice...not much bang for your buck. Party of four, two hours=$300. That having been said, next time I'll eat before I go so I can afford more drinks, lol!!!

We knew we were in good hands with Eden, our server, as soon as she introduced herself. She shared the specials (and there were many) without even a hint of hesitation or note checking. Her knowledge of the menu and the history of the restaurant immediately put us at ease. Eden was so engaging and demonstrated a pride of ownership that made our New Year’s Eve experience truly special. We started with the baked brie and a bottle of Pinot Noir from Oregon. For our entrees, one of us ordered the bacon wrapped filet and truffle fries - out of this world! The flavor and temperature of the steak was perfection. The fries were hot and crispy with just a hint of truffle - not too overpowering. We also ordered the 14 ounce bone-in pork chop with fries. Once again the flavor profile and temperature were spot on. Both of our meals were amazing! We finished with a brown butter cake and a side of vanilla ice cream. If you’ve never had brown butter cake, and we had never tried it, you should definitely order it. From now on whenever brown butter cake is on the menu, we’re going to order it. You could tell that the staff loves what they’re doing because everybody was hustling to make all diners’ New Year’s Eve experience the best it could possibly be. The Christmas decorations inside the restaurant are unparalleled. We had a great table by the tree and a very memorable experience. Happy New Year to the entire staff at Forgotten Tonic and sending special gratitude to Eden for her warm and welcoming hospitality

Our server was very sweet and welcoming. The food was delicious. The only thing was that the main course came out before the salads, and I specifically ordered the salads as our starter. The Christmas decorations were amazing. The noise level was too high for us to enjoy, but that’s just us! We’re in our seventies, and it was New Year’s Eve!

The holiday decor was beautiful and the staff was very nice. However, our waitress was not very attentive. She served wine in a dirty glass and brought cake with ice cream on top after we said not to bring the ice cream with it. The food was overpriced as were the drinks. The ambience was definitely the highlight.

We had the best time at Forgotten Tonic! The Miracle pop up was beautiful, and drinks were yummy! We had Lima bean hummus, the egg rolls, and butternut squash soups. Everything was delicious! Can't wait to go back!
