Uptown Swinery - St. Augustine

Tried to go, sign and menu were down. Place looks permanently closed. May just be down for work but they didn't bother to update their website or google.

I wanted to love it. We arrived and sat at a 2 seater at the front left corner of the restaurant. When the A/C came on, a terrible odor filled the air, not sure where it came from, but it was not pleasant. We ordered a **** Mary and Mimosa, a single waffle and a side of breakfast potatoes. The drinks arrived in somewhat smaller glassware than anticipated. The Mr. said the **** Mary was very weak and questioned whether there was any alcohol in it while the Mimosa was adequate.After 25 minutes, we asked the hostess to check on our order (our server was also the bartender and nowhere in sight) and to cancel if it wasn't started. A few minutes later she delivered the order and said it had been sitting there a while as it had been forgotten. The waffle was semi warm, the potatoes were unedible and spongy.It's nice to find a new good place, this was not it.

Collin our server was actually the only one working. The others just stood around. I asked a waitress for a coffee refill and she said we weren’t her table and walked off. A terrible way to treat customers. And on top of it she laughed. Terrible-Just terrible! This place needs new management or close their doors if they want any repeat business. I’ll never go back!

We wanted to try something new around town on 2/5/23 and decided brunch would be an awesome time. We were pleasantly greeted and sat without any wait. Our waitress was very nice. However, the service was very slow, and it took some time to have our order taken, weren't checked on during our meal, and we had to flag our waitress down after to get/pay our check.While we were waiting for our food, I witnessed the bartender drop the drink strainer into a glass, pick it out with his bare hands, and then proceed to pour more mixer in and serve the drink. Unfortunately, this put us off to ordering any more drinks due to the potential health issue.When the food came out, it not only looked very good but tasted amazing. All of us enjoyed our food (especially the potatoes) and ate every bit of our meals.Overall, we will give this location another try on a future date. However, I hope that the bartender is given lessons on food safety. Re-making one drink is worth the extra time versus the cost of the ingredients. The food is definitely worth it!

We just came in for an appetizer and some drinks. The baked Brie was decent however we were told it had blackberries honey and walnuts and that’s what made up our mind to get it…that was not the fruit we got…so a little disappointed there. The adult Capri Sun was fun.
