   Service was a little slow to start but was good after initial wait. Food was of good quality but not great for the price. Drinks also $$ but after all it’s a hotel restaurant. I’m local and would prefer salt life for better food, atmosphere and value. Do yourself a favor and walk across the street.

   Best meal we had all week traveling in Florida - didn’t expect a hotel restaurant to be this good. Our waiter Hunter was outstanding, friendly and gave us his top picks of things to see and do in St. Augustine. He is a gem!!!

    Really enjoyed the food and the outdoor area before and after dinner. Steak was great but way over priced. Overall good experience but for one big exception. They had no parking available at the restaurant even though we had a dinner reservation. The valet lot was full because of an event going on at the same time. Took 45 minutes from the time I arrived at street entrance until I was parked and in the restaurant. Waited over 20 minutes in valet line only to be told there were no spots left.

    We decided to try Harvest & Reel because we wanted to go to a restaurant near the beach that takes reservations. We didn't have high expectations going in but, for the most part, we were pleasantly surprised. PROS: -Location at St. Augustine Beach -Reservations available (although you must confirm with a credit card) -Nice looking lobby area, bar, and restaurant with plenty of space -Diverse menu with mostly above average food -Good service (our waiter was very attentive) CONS: -Parking at the Embassy Suites is valet only. We got around this by parking at the public lot next door (at the pier). -The space feels very "generic restaurant." It would have been nice if it was oriented toward the water or at least had windows. -It's a little expensive relative to the quality of the food/experience. We're on the fence about whether we'll return, although I suspect we will at some point.

    we have dined here multiple times when we are in SA. the outdoor dining offers a lovely view! we had hunter as our waiter and he was wonderful-very pleasant, attentive and accommodating. I had the house salad which was very good. for entrees my husband had the ribeye and I had the fresh catch; both of which were underwhelming. we were disappointed in the entrees since, in the past, they were very flavorful and creative. the texture and color of the ribeye was off and the flavor was lacking. hunter was excellent and the view is lovely. we’ll try again since our past dinners were spot on. thank you.

    Great restaurant in this newly renovated hotel. Creative menu featuring fish and beef. We ate here on our first night of our recent stay, and was so pleased we repeated our visit the following evening. Wine list was not extensive, but there were many nice bottles at reasonable prices. We had fish and shellfish on both nights, so we cannot comment on the beef, but the fish was fresh and very well prepared.

    a very pleasant dinner with above average service. The food was excellent. We all had the catch of the day and it was cooked to perfection. The food was a little pricey but the quality of the entree made you forget about the price. I would definitely go back again

    The service was personal and attentive. The seafood special was amazing. Flounder was perfectly cooked to retain its moisture and flavor. We were seated at a quiet booth which was great as my husband is hearing impaired. We will be going back.

    Overall Meh. First atmosphere inside of blah. Prices are on the high side which is not an issue if food quality matches the prices. We were a party of 6. They offer 3 steaks on the menu all close to $50 with the exception of the 6oz filet. I ordered the 16 oz bone in NY Strip medium rare. Steak came out well done. All the other guests’ food was cooked as requested. They took the steak back and I kept the side. 10+ minutes a new steak came out and it was better but more like medium than medium rare, but was ok as the rest of the table was almost done eating. Overall it was a decent meal but the quality was nowhere near where it should have been for the prices.

    We were very disappointed with our dining experience at Harvest and Reel. We expected much more from this restaurant. We live in St. Augustine Beach have been here three times in the past and had positive dining experiences. After our meal tonight, we will likely not be returning. It wasn’t worth the money.

    No tablecloths and server did not put cocktail napkins under our water, cocktail and wine glasses. By the time our dinner was served, the table was like a swamp with sweating water and crusty bread crumbs from the charcuterie board. Not appetizing. For a restaurant with upscale prices, I expect better. I guess the hotel caters to tourists who don’t expect better. But as a local, there are better places to spend $500 for dinner for six. On the positive side, the food was good. Not outstanding, but very good.

    Staying at the hotel so stayed in after a long drive. Ordered mushroom risotto. It was not edible. Added shrimp (3 for $12). Husband had the steak burger and he liked it. He tried to eat my risotto and couldn’t. The server was amazing! Very apologetic and took the risotto off the bill.

    Christmas Day. Hunter, our waiter and his team were great! Friendly and attentive. The manager on the floor was also excellent as we had a very grouchy man at the table next to us that she was above and beyond kind to. We had the swordfish and mushroom risotto and both were excellent!

    We knew this would be a pricey meal - $75 per person and were fine paying for a great meal on a holiday. But we weren't prepared for mediocre food, very small portions and a chef who ignored one of our party's dietary restrictions. We had to send the caesar salad back because it dressing on it (despite a request to our server for dressing on the side). And when the fish was served, it was drenched in sauce (despite our request for it to be grilled in minimal oil and served plain...due to a dietary restrictions). I should also note a call was placed to the restaurant a few days before our reservation to confirm they could accommodate the dietary restrictions and we were assured they could. On the plus side - the servers were very pleasant, although they were not very experienced.

    We did not have a good Christmas Eve experience for the price we paid for a pre-fix menu. The first thing that happened was that at check in the 2 women said our reservation was at 7pm NOT 6pm and that I was wrong so we decided to wait but I found the ail sent to us from Manager Nicole and her email said she was confirming our reservation for 6pm!!! I showed the 2 women the email and the older lady said oh well things happen NOT OH IM SO SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE!!! So right off the bat she started our experience in a negative way. The food was not worth what we paid!!!

    Only few tables yet the kitchen was overwhelmed by the orders. Lamb was chewy and well done instead of medium, risotto mushrooms had a strange aftertaste, and prices were crazy for the experience that we got. Would not recommend (especially for special occasions)…

    The electric lamps were not turned on until it was time to leave and we were cold. The main entrees were salty, but great presentation. The appetizers were great and the drinks were great. If we come here again, I recommend just get the appetizers and drinks. Waste of money on entrees IMHO.

    Reserved for Thanksgiving. We are visiting from out of town. It was unclear what we reserved as there were both a limited menu and buffet option. Front desk staff was not aware of our reservation or which we chose. We elected for the limited menu. The outdoor terrace is nice. Lovely view of the ocean and there was live music playing adjacent to us which we weren’t expecting but was very pleasant. The service was good- waiter was very friendly. The downside is the food quality and value. Incredibly overpriced for a meal that was luke warm at best, average quality and very small portion. for the price I would have expected much better. Very underwhelming. 4 scallops and a purée for 36 dollars. And it was cold. My kids split the thanksgiving dinner since there was no child option and it was also room temp or cold. tasted ok but for the price was nothing special and didn’t even taste fresh. We were grateful to have a reservation but it for the price it just wasn’t worth the trip.
