Such a wonderful experience to enjoy a special celebration here! The food and service are top notch! We love our server, Martin! Best wishes and looking forward to the new menu and the renovation!

Had lunch but couldnt use the restrooms! I think they should have told my husband & me before we ate that restrooms were not available if youre not staying there. Food was nothing special. Attractive hotel but staff was moving furniture while we were seated, by noisily dragging it on the floor rather than picking it up.

Stopped in for lunch. Food was good. Beware. When we received our itemized bill to pay, the gratuity was included. HOWEVER... when I gave my debit card and got the copy to sign, there was a line to add gratuity with no mention of previously added tip. If I had not seen this on the first receipt, I would have added a tip. Very deceptive! Also short you on wine pours.

I came with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. We wanted to experience their Spanish influenced menu. I liked the pictures I saw in their website about the ambiance, the menu and the wine selection. I also wrote to the restaurant through the Open Table app asking a question about their menu. However, the night started with a down note for me when I saw the renovation that they did to the restaurant. The atmosphere was completely different to what I saw I their website. They went for a dark green, black and gold design that made the restaurant really dark. Just the opposite to the website pictures. We sat by the piano, and the good music helped me adjust to the last minute change of atmosphere. The service was courteous and direct. The atmosphere was casual and friendly. The ambiance reminded me of some trendy restaurants in Nashville, though a notch short of those. The food was good. The flavors and ideas came as expected from the Spanish cuisine. My wife loved the soup. My grouper and my wife's steak were good. We ordered a glass of Pinot noir for my wife and a red blend for me. Both wines were forgettable. I never got an answer to the question I sent through the Open Table app and the fact that they knew this night was our anniversary celebration, did nothing to make the experience at Costa Brava extra special. When I looked at the night overall, we had a good time. The piano did wonders for a music lover like me. My wife was happy. But Costa Brava under delivered. I expected more. Other reviews talk about the size of the portions and they are in line to what you would expect in a restaurant that wants to be trendy, modern and a cuisine specialist. The price? Well, I found their prices match what they aspire to be. The problem is that they fall short from that. Would I come back? Hmmm, not sure. Parking: The usual options available in St Augustine. Kid-friendliness: Based on the restaurant's profile I wouldn't call it kid friendly, but they do allow kids of all ages.
