Harvest & Reel at Embassy Suites Resort St Augustine Beach

What a beautiful restaurant! You would never guess you were inside a resort. Thank you to Angela for the wonderful recommendations. My Champs de Provence, 2021, Rose, Provence FR, went extremely well with my Shrimp Cocktail sprinkled with Old Bay & served with a splash of cocktail sauce. The Grilled Cheshire Pork Chop with roasted potatoes & pomegranate reduction was cooked to perfection- I've honestly never had a pork chop this tender before! Thank you for a wonderful experience, I can't wait to visit you guys again!

Good food. We ate here twice. One for dinner and once for the free breakfast. For dinner, the filet was great but we did ask for it to be cooked a little longer because it was mid rare versus mid well. The side dish of potato’s was just okay so you may want to ask to substitute for one of the other sides. The salads were great. Good wine selection. The break buffet was not very good so I suggest skipping that except for bacon and head straight to the grill for an omelette or fried eggs. They also have great oatmeal, breads, fruit, yogurt and cereals. They have many juices and sift drinks. They have a coffee bar but it’s industrial requiring cream and sugar. Some guests were avoid the coffee bar that came free with breakfast and paying for latte’s at the Starbucks next to the restaurant. Service was great and all the people are nice. The location right on property was convenient. I especially liked them not automatically adding a tip to everything allowing me to decide on the amount.

The food was very mediocre. It took a long time to get what we ordered and when it arrived, it was not enjoyable. The onion rings were listed in the menu as “hose made” although I don’t know if they were boasting about just being cooked there or cut, battered and cooked because they were grease logged. They arrived w before the entrees instead of being spaced apart. The artichoke dip was terrible and tasted like it was canned artichoke not fresh. The grandkids did not eat their food. The “Mac n cheese” was from a box!! The only thing fresh was the fruit. I ordered the diver scallops and they were served with something similar to succotash. Overall the meal was sub par.

Locals do not need to pay to park. Valet will take your vehicle just get your ticket validated by your server and it’s free. I just tip the guys. Food is always incredible, Hardly ever a wait, and the bartenders are so talented. We love it here. They even have an amazing kids menu. After dinner there’s sometimes live music so we’ll take our drink outside and enjoy the best views.
