    Fantastic experience! Staff was SO welcoming and attentive. Loved the Pear Wine Sangria which was crisp and clean, not overly sweet. Loved the Lobster Bisque, Pear Salad and Rack of Lamb. And the Tres Leche Cake—YUM! We’d like to come back to the rooftop bar which had a very cool vibe. Highly Recommend La Cocina!

    I made a reservation on Open Table for 2:30, even had to give a credit card to make it. We arrived at our time and was told they close at 3! They did finally honor it but then we felt rushed and we were asked to leave since they were setting up for dinner not long after we finished our meal. The food was good, but we were meeting important business customers and this was not a good experience for that.

    The lobster bisque is amazing! The filets were cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious! We had a reservation, but came a little early. Our table was ready and they sat us immediately! Great service and we will definitely be back soon!

    We were surprised by this gem on the edge of St.Augustine! The service was exceptional, we had the lamb entree and it was perfectly cooked. The presentation of the food was delightful as well. Extra value was ample parking in this very busy place. Great experience all around! We will be back.

    Loved the live music. It was not loud at all. The coq au vin was insanely good. My husband had the choripan. We bought a bottle of wine and never felt rushed even when it was quite busy.

    Javier gave us excellent service. The beef carpaccio was especially good, as was the lamb. A note for tourists like us, if you’re wanting a cocktail you should know they only serve wine and beer.
