    Our party was a little early for our reservation, however we were seated immediately. We were given light-up holiday hats for everyone in the party because we made a reservation online. So cool! The ambiance was lovely, all decorated for Christmas, a cool little bar, and awesome holiday themed cocktails. The waiter was very attentive. Amazing food! Get the burger! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The shrimp bisque was also quite good. My only negative is the price, but I’d rather spend $150 for a meal that supports a small business, with quality hand-crafted food than pay the same for a chain restaurant of the same predictable menu items. We love St. Augustine and come up every December for Night of Lights. We hope to visit Forgotten Tonic again next year!

    Amazing food and ambience! They even gave you cute light up winter hats for dining in. The artichoke dip is out of this world! The sauce for the mussels is so delicious I could drink it as soup. My husband raved about the burger as well. The drink menu was Christmas themed and so were the cocktails. So fun and delicious!

    Thank you so much for the glowing review, Jillian! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fun and delicious experience with us. Those light-up winter hats are one of our favorite festive touches, and we’re glad you enjoyed them! It’s great to hear the artichoke dip and mussel sauce stood out – we agree, the sauce is hard to resist! Our holiday cocktail menu is all about bringing some extra cheer, and we’re so happy it added to your experience. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you both back soon for more great food, drinks, and fun!

    The initial two star review for the ambience was a mistake. But I would give it a four rather than a five. Compared to other miracle events that we went to last year for example, like in Austin, it was nice, but not nearly as well done. Generally, the place is excellent. The food is terrific, and the service was equally good.
