   So fun! If you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation before Christmas you’re in for a treat. So festive and the food and atmosphere is top notch.

   Love the place and we go there every time we come to St Augustine. It has the feeling of a “locals hangout”, with a really great vibe and high end atmosphere, without breaking the bank. Service is always great and the cocktails are top!

   We were really looking forward to visiting. We are foodies and in love with mixologists. We tried various drinks. ALL LACK BALANCE AND ARE MEGA SWEET. Imposible to drink. We tried from the holiday menu...then changed to the regular menú. All sweet. Even the negroni was sweet. My gin fizz was no gin and they added cream to the egg white so half of the tall glass was thick foam. This venue is stunning. It has potential. St. Agustine needs a mixology bar (other than The Well or The Ice Plant). Please, study those recipes!! Stay away from the simple syrup. The name was honest. Forgotten.

   Thank you for your feedback, Amara. For clarification, the only holiday drink you ordered was the mulled wine, which we comped. Additionally, instead of a Negroni, your order was for a Vieux Carré. We’ll review our specs to ensure every team member is on the same page with proper ratios. The Ramos Gin Fizz is a classic cocktail with gin, cream and egg white, creating the foamy meringue like texture. If a standard gin fizz was intended, there may have been a miscommunication. In that case, we would have gladly corrected any issues if brought to our attention during your visit. As for your joke about the name—it might not have landed, but we appreciate the effort. Thanks for recognizing the ambiance, and we’ll keep refining our offerings!

   First visit for our group of 4. Was very noisy when we came in and it continued that way for the next hour. Service was very attentive but not pretentious. Food was tasty and portions were generous. Don’t know why but everyone at our table received a knit Christmas cap with flashing lights. They were a big hit!! Thanks! Merry Christmas! We will be back!!

   Staff was excellent. We had an issue with the mashed potatoes - tasted terrible. The manager came over and took care of it for us. Rest of food was good. We made reservations because it was a pop up Christmas bar. We did get light up hats but was not impressed with the decor nor the drinks. We have had better experiences with other pop up bars. Overall was good.

   Thank you for your honest feedback, Karen! We’re so glad to hear our staff provided excellent service and that the manager was able to promptly address the issue with the mashed potatoes. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the rest of your meal. We’d love to hear more about what you felt was missing or could be improved with the pop-up Christmas bar decor. Are there specific elements you would have liked to see added? Regarding the cocktails, we’re sorry they didn’t meet your expectations. Did you have the chance to share your thoughts with your server or the manager during your visit? We always strive to correct any issues on the spot and ensure our guests leave delighted, and your in-person feedback helps us make that happen. We truly appreciate your time and hope to welcome you back!

    We had a fantastic time at forgotten tonic. In my notes, I mentioned that we were here to celebrate our honeymoon. We were treated to not only champagne, but free dessert. Our food was absolutely amazing! 10/10.
