My fiancee and I recently took a day trip to St. Augustine from Orlando. We usually plan ahead and decided to eat at A1A based on their website. From the minute we arrived, some things seemed a little off. We had to enter the dining area by literally squezzing through a drink/soda area occupied by multiple servers. I watched as... more

Avoid the beer-cheese soup! It tasted like it was made with processed cheese...I felt like I was eating nacho cheese dip with a spoon. I didn't finish it and the waiter didn't ask why or seem to care. The fish on my sandwich was overcooked. My husband's crab BLT wasn't that great either and he wasn't too impressed by any... more

We ended up eating at A1A twice. First was on a Saturday night and they were PACKED. After about a 45 minute wait we were seated on the balcony (which was the first available seating since it was so hot outside). View definitely made up for sitting there sweating.

My family (wife 2 girls 12 & 9) visited on May 14 and loved every minute of it. The view of the harbor (if sitting outside, upper level) was wonderful at lunch time. We enjoyed everything we had (tuna sandwich, smoked salmon fish & chips, Crab blt, and can't remember the other). more

Great food - service is good for such a big place. more

I am a St. Aug local and patronize many of the local restaurants frequently. I have eaten at A1A dozens of times but have had repeated bad experiences regarding service and most importantly food quality. I at there last night (4/5/08) with an out of town visitor and we both had cold, poor quality meals. You get the feeling that... more

Have nothing but good things to say about this place. great food and views. more
