Llama Restaurant

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: This restaurant is tiny; reservations are a must! It is not well suited for large groups and that's a good thing! Also, if you have mobility issues, be aware the bathrooms are in the back and require you to leave the restaurant to access them.

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 the pork belly pasta and it was out of this world. Decent wine selection, and delicious cappuccinos. When back in this area I will make sure to return here. Make a reservation here you don’t regret it. This would be a great date night spot as the ambiance is really nice.

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 was really fishy and had horrible bad taste, I could not eat it. The ceviche was served with the pickling sauce separate from the fish, then once it's at the table you put in the pickling juice yourself. This does not allow for enough time for the pickling to 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 and flavorful. Lamp chops had great spices and cooked perfectly. The services was great and on spot. Always like it when service is 100%. Tables are limited and so is parking. I HIGHLY recommend you make reservations or else you're not getting in. We had to make them a month in advance. Would I go here again? YES!!!

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 goes into each plate. We got the octopus, (most tender I have ever eaten), a cheviche, and my husband got the lamb. Wonderful food and night!

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 our expectation, regardless which one it wouldn't be something we would pick again. As a main dish we picked Surf and Turf. Much better but for $48 I would like to see more protein. I would even ask for lobster instead of shrimp, even though it was very good. I do want to say that Lisa was awesome. Very nice and helpful. She is what most people should strive for in hospitality industry. Job well done Lisa.

This is one of the most amazing restaurants that I have ever been to. Everything was simply delightful. My husband and I enjoyed the ceviche nikkei. It was the most amazing ceviche. I loved the citrus and salmon together. My entree was the chupe de camarones. The flavor of this was incredible! It was one of the best seafood dishes of my life. It didn't need the rice on the side at all. Hubby had the seco de res and he preferred my dish over his! That's how phenomenal it was. For dessert my husband chose alfajores affogato. I didn't like this one at all. It would have been much better without the espresso on top. Although I have had their custard with spun sugar on top before and that was delightful. The drinks weren't as good this time when we dined. They definitely seemed more sugar filled than flavorful. Lastly the service is always wonderful. I love coming to this restaurant. It is one of a kind.

Hands down the best dining experience in St Augustine. I brought a friend who was visiting from out of town and they were floored by everything. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food is top tier. The only thing I’d ask is for more vegan friendly items on the menu, but I can’t knock a star for that. They did an amazing job accommodating me. Thank you for a great experience!

Top notch foodie experience of Peruvian cuisine. We started off with appetizers YUCAS HUANCAINA and CEVICHE NIKKE. As a vegetarian I only had the yucas which was very good. My wife and another couple had the Ceviche as well as the yucas. They enjoyed both. The only negative was the really small portions - 5 pieces of yuca and a tiny portion of ceviche. The entrees were happily well portioned and I was filled up adequately. They have vegetation soltado (as well as Lomo) and it was delicious as well as filling. A mix of onions, mushrooms, potatoes and peppers stir fried with tasty spices added with garlic jasmine rice made this meal a winner! My wife had the Amazonian arapaima which she really liked. We were full after the entrees but decided to try the Alfajores affogato which is shortbread cookies, ice cream and a shot of expresso - delicious! The expresso really added to the overall taste experience as I have had alfajores previous but never with coffee. The service was excellent with and the waiter gave us little shot glasses with some sort of very tasty, creamy citris liqueur to clean our palate before the main course. All in all it was a very pleasurable experience. Llama is a little pricey but I believe worth the experience.
