    The team did a great job, good food and service. Ashlee was very great to everyone. Not as decorative as in years past, but still super festive and fun. Definitely recomend!!
    Forgotten TonicResponded 1 day ago
    Doug, thank you for the kind words and the recommendation! We're so glad you enjoyed the food, hospitality, and festive vibe—and we’ll be sure to pass along your praise to Ashlee for making your visit extra special. This year, we decided to switch things up after three years of our whimsical theme and are still fine-tuning the new look. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see added, we’d love to hear your ideas. We want every visit to feel magical and memorable. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more great times on Aviles St.!

    We went here for the Miracle Pop-up Bar, one of our holiday annual traditions. The festive drinks are always super fun and delicious, and their food menu is great as ever. Both my husband and I had a couple of their vegan options which were delicious, and the other two with us had the mussels and the chicken sandwich. Portion sizes were so much bigger than I remembered! It’s always busy, especially during the Christmas season so reservations are an absolute must. Even with all the busy-ness, the staff was super prompt, attentive, and friendly. Fun little perk: they gave us special Miracle beanies as a thank you for making a reservation!
    Forgotten TonicResponded 1 day ago
    Ixiim, we're thrilled to hear you have made Forgotten Tonic part of your annual Miracle Pop-Up Bar tradition! It’s wonderful knowing you and your guests enjoyed our festive cocktails and delicious vegan options. Thanks for noticing the generous portion sizes—we aim to keep things hearty and satisfying! The holiday hustle on Aviles St. makes reservations a smart move, and we’re glad the Miracle beanies added a special touch to your visit. Can’t wait to welcome you back next year for more festive cheer!

    Our new favorite spot in St. Augustine. We had no idea it would be a holiday pop up when we booked and it was so fun! Not only were there plenty of amazing selections for us but our kids had plenty of choices too. I would eat that shrimp and grits every day.
    Forgotten TonicResponded 1 day ago
    Shannon, we’re so excited to be your new favorite spot in St. Augustine! Stumbling upon the holiday pop-up must have been such a fun surprise, and we’re thrilled it added to your experience. Knowing both you and your kids found plenty of delicious options makes us so happy—especially hearing how much you loved the shrimp and grits (we agree, they’re hard to resist!). Can’t wait to have you all back for more great times and tasty meals on Aviles St.!

    The food was delicious and excellent customer service. The dip with the fried artichokes was good on anything and the artichokes had a very light coating on them. Best grilled fish sandwich I have had on fresh Cuban bread - nice and thin so it didn't overwhelm the tastiness of the fish. Nice decorations for the Holidays. Overall good experience.

    Thank you, Tony! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and enjoyed the fried artichokes (that dip really is good on everything!) and the grilled fish sandwich on fresh Cuban bread. Hearing it’s the best you’ve had is an incredible compliment! We’re glad the holiday decorations added to the festive atmosphere. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more delicious bites and excellent hospitality!
