   Food was just ok. Nothing to write home about. Wasn’t a fan of the plastic plates.

   We were there for a birthday celebration. Food and drinks were spot on, ambiance was to die for, and service was stellar. Highly recommend.

   I wanted to love this place but they have a long way to go. I hate to be critical of the atmosphere because this area has so few rooftop places to enjoy but the design is pretty bad. Three fourths of the view of the ocean is blocked by a view of what I think is service elevators and A/C units and somehow the designers managed to not take advantage of the best parts of the roof. If you can look past this (literally) it's not bad and like I said, the area lacks in beachside dining so there is that. I did love the general atmosphere of the bar area, the couches, the fire pits and corn hole games. On to the food and drinks. Kinda meh. Both drinks I had were lacking in flavor and poor combinations. The mermaid tears tasted only of lemon juice and vodka and the mojita wasn't made with fresh ingredients and tasted like canned juice. The food was bland. The lumpia's were boring. My Caribbean Bowl had a good amount of tuna but it wasn't top grade and there was no sauce of any kind to give it some punch. The entire thing tasted of just onions. My husbands smash burger was over cooked and the tricolor sweet potato fries were actually boring chips. The dessert was even meh. It consisted of 4 fried balls of bread pudding with a side of nasty tasting mango flavored juice boba balls. All of this for $144 for 2 people. We will go back in maybe 6 months to give them a second try only because we are hopeful they will receive feedback and improve and the view is the best you will find in the area.

   These folks have lots of work to do to get the “edge” off from their recent opening. We waited 45 minutes for our first drink, and it was evident they had sat for some time before being served as the ice was melted! It’s an unusual menu, but one we enjoyed so we could try out things we never had before. The views are wonderful.

   New rooftop restaurant in Vilano is fabulous. The view is incredible and the service was exceptional. The food was definitely a dining experience. Many different dishes with Mediterranean influences. Looking forward to a return visit.

    A wonderful addition to St. Augustine’s culinary scene! Casual yet upscale with a variety of delicious options for food & beverages plus top notch service with the beauty of 360 degree views of Vilano Beach and St. Augustine. Loved it!
