the ice plant

tonight my wife and i enjoyed an anniversary dinner here. we’ve heard a lot of good things about this place, we were not disappointed in any way. the service was excellent, as was the meal. we started with blue crab beignets, they were amazing. very light and full of crab.
my wife had gnocchi with lamb and goat cheese ricotta. she was very happy with it.
i had the braised short rib with some puréed potatoes and a salad. it was fork tender and had a great beef flavor.
we split an apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert. i don’t eat ice cream but the cobbler was delicious, just like everything else.
the place is pricey but i feel like i got what i paid for.
on a side note, the place really was an iceplantand i used to buy ice here in the ‘70’s.

today, 9/18/16 is the first time iceplantstarted serving brunch and i can say they delivered! on point, unique, always having you wanting to come back again and again, as we have come to find that everything served at iceplantis. we decided on the pastrami and eggs skillet and the french toast...my best friend and i brunch a bunch(almost every sunday) and this is hands down the best of them all!!!
from the quality service, industrial quaint atmosphere, craft cocktails, and unique artful menu - there's nothing that compares!!! iceplantis setting the bar higher than any place in st augustine and surrounding cities - a true gem!!
we are already planning our next visit for mid week. if you are looking for somewhere that locals love - look no further. if you are visiting st augustine and want a place that you will come back to visit just to go here- you've found it! look no further. cannot say enough great things to the staff and owners of iceplantother than thank you for creating a place of quality, value and rarity. you have me always looking forward to coming back again and planning my next visit when we haven't even walked out of your door.

monday december 29m 2014 - pathetic performance by the host. we have been to the iceplantmany times and enjoyed it, so this experience was very disappointing. we were with out of town guests, arrived at 4:30 and placed our name on the list for a party of 7 (there were three names ahead of us on the entire list). we were told that seating for dinner would start at 5:00 so we went to the bar to wait. 5:00 came and went, several parties being seated and served. when asked the "host" said he had to wait for the bar manager to ok opening up the back section. 5:20 past, parties being seated in the back and still no call from the host. i stopped hime to inquire as to when we would be seated and received the same "waiting for the ok to open the back" excuse. at 5:35, we left, embarrassed for our guests and wholly dissapointed to the total lack of service (from the host; zack and the bar staff were attentive and professional). it is doubtful we will return to dine there and will certainly no recommend the iceplantagain.

hey lovelies! i recently spent the day in florida's oldest city, st. augustine with a few of my foodie friends!  we enjoyed a day of macarons, wine and live music, and the awesomeness that is   the iceplant! there's been a lot of buzz about this place and after visiting, i can definitely understand why!  for starters, it's history dates back to the early 20th century when it was merely an ice manufacturing plant.  as soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a bit of nostalgia, as they have kept some of the original fixtures to add character to the once old ice factory turned vintage restaurant and bar. one of the things i was most anxious to try was their craft cocktails! i was very indecisive, but our waitress, maggie, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when it came to assisting me in choosing the right cocktail. i went with the sin city and i don't think i could've asked for a better drink.  my best description would be that it was equivalent to a spicy margarita and i love a good margarita! it had corazon tequila, ancho reyes, and madarine napoleon with vanilla pepper, lemon, and habenero sugar around the rim for a nice kick!  whoa!  i savored every drop! a few of my buddies got the same thing i did,  but my friend nate went for a cocktail that wasn't on the menu called the amelia.  it was similar in taste, to the amelia i had here , at bazille inside of nordtrom.  what i loved most about this drink was the ice sphere that he got with it! after all, we were at an old ice factory and the iceplantbelieves "ice is the cornerstone of the american bar and an integral component of a well made drink."  so it was only right that one of us got a personally carved piece of ice.  it was a perfect sphere!  the food was delicious and very fresh!  i love that their restaurant is farm to table and that their seafood is local and their beef is grass-fed! three of the five of us, including me, got the shrimp and grits.   it was very tasty.  the grits were very creamy, t

doesn't need my review. the iceplantdoesn't need me to give it a good review. after all, there was a two-hour wait for a table of two this evening. that being said, my friend and i sat at the bar and had delicious drinks, decent service, and good food. i will be back. no other place like it in st aug. cheers!

firstly, theplantis open for dinner now. table of 4 and all of our meals were fabulous. great place. go when you can.

our visit to the iceplantmade for a fun evening with great cocktails and surprisingly good food. this will definitely be a regular st augustine stop for me.
