  Faded Glory

  Glen Stewart on December 16, 2019 - 8:01am

  It's a simple story: A few years back the manager was personable, the food was top notch, the prices were fairly high, but there were affordable nights, like Pastabilities. Then, of course, the executive decision to change management, hire different waiters, hike the prices, abandon the affordable nights, and then, quite naturally, lose ties with the locals. Well Aviles, How's that working for ya? Lower profits? OK, then hike the prices yet again. And hire a more affordable chef. And when the number of diners dwindle, don't admit you've made a woeful miscalculation. That would require some gumption. Instead, keep pretending that those key decisions were good ones. Sound familiar? Skip this parlor of greed and incompetence and grab a bite somewhere else. There are numerous options.

  Mixed Bag

  Have eaten there a few times. It was considerably better about 3 years ago. Standards have fallen as prices have risen. It appears that the Hilton has little interest in sustaining a relationship with locals since the prices are, in many instances, very high. All in all, artifice and pretense prevail, and though good, the experience can leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

  can't cook a steak

  Matt Schifter on October 3, 2015 - 2:18pm

  There was nothing impressive about this meal except the backlighted menus and the manager wanting to make it right. My steak was supposed to be medium and came out chewy with a burned but thin outer layer. The meat was cooked on too high a heat. It made the steak taste like charcoal. The salad was also equally unimpressive. Was offered a bottle of wine in recompense but I had no interest and just left the place.

  I always see the restaurant everytime we visit St. Augustine, and tonight my family and I finally had the chance to try it. We love it; the food, the service, the ambiance... it's fine dining, but very affordable!... this won't be the last time we'll visit the place!
