Reviews for Llama Restaurant in St. Augustine, FL
What an INCREDIBLE experience!!! Our first visit to Llama Restaurant, and it was nothing short of AMAZING!! We were waited on... and attended to by at least 4 different servers, each helping each other to provide us with an unforgettable experience. Asvegans and occasional vegetarians when traveling, Llama restaurants menu is perfect! My hubby, being Peruvian was just asimpressed! We ordered the traditional Papa la huancaina, Veggie Saltado and Vegan Ceviche….and these plates did NOTdisappoint! Absolutely DELICIOUS, elegant and worth every penny. The owner came to check on us as well. We are blown away by howtasty the food was, the perfect service and the drinks and dessert delighted the senses! We will definitely return when we visitagain to St. Augustine! Read more
We had an amazing dinner. You can tell that the chef puts a lot of thought into the food and presentation. I was admittedly a... little unsure about some of the menu items but we were blown away by everything we ate. We went with another couple so we alltried everything (3 apps, 4 meals and 2 desserts) Don’t hesitate, this is a must do restaurant. Our pictures don’t do thepresentation justice. Read more
Outstanding! Some of the best food and service I've had the pleasure of experiencing since I moved to Florida. Tiny restaurant... with absolutely amazing food and creative presentation. Top notch service without being stuffy. Highly recommended! NOTE: Thisrestaurant is tiny; reservations are a must! It is not well suited for large groups and that's a good thing! Also, if you havemobility issues, be aware the bathrooms are in the back and require you to leave the restaurant to access them. Read more
This was our second time going after we found it two years ago and were amazing by the food! This year the good was still... delicious and full of great flavors but things are tapered off a bit. I had the river fish wrapped in banana leaf and it wasreally fishy and had horrible bad taste, I could not eat it. The ceviche was served with the pickling sauce separate from thefish, then once it's at the table you put in the pickling juice yourself. This does not allow for enough time for the picklingto do its trick. I mean it's a app that you're ready to eat but it's not ready. Other than that the fish was fresh andflavorful. Lamp chops had great spices and cooked perfectly. The services was great and on spot. Always like it when serviceis 100%. Tables are limited and so is parking. I HIGHLY recommend you make reservations or else you're not getting in. We hadto make them a month in advance. Would I go here again? YES!!! Read more
While we enjoyed our visit to Llama I think our experience could have been much better. We felt that the appetizer (Ceviche) was... a missed opportunity and left us somewhat disappointed. Especially at $17. Maybe it was the size or maybe it was ourexpectation, regardless which one it wouldn't be something we would pick again. As a main dish we picked Surf and Turf. Muchbetter but for $48 I would like to see more protein. I would even ask for lobster instead of shrimp, even though it was verygood. I do want to say that Lisa was awesome. Very nice and helpful. She is what most people should strive for in hospitalityindustry. Job well done Lisa. Read more
One of the best meals I have had in a long time! The food was absolutely amazing and you can see how much heart and thought goes... into each dish. The restaurant is very small, but makes you feel like you are enjoying a meal with family. Not a big busy place.We brought our 2 year old and the staff was so accommodating. So reasonably priced for the quality of food and care that goesinto each plate. We got the octopus, (most tender I have ever eaten), a cheviche, and my husband got the lamb. Wonderful foodand night!

What a little hidden gem/ small local joint. Came here after reading nothing but great things and it far exceeded expectations.... Friendly and fast service! The food was beyond good. Had a couple of different ceviches which were prepared perfectly. Had thepork belly pasta and it was out of this world. Decent wine selection, and delicious cappuccinos. When back in this area I willmake sure to return here. Make a reservation here you don’t regret it. This would be a great date night spot as the ambianceis really nice. Read more

It all tastes even better than it looks. It’s more thana restaurant - Llama is an experience. Adventure awaits. Read more
