Aj's Kitchen Cocktails - St. Augustine

This is.a beautiful venue. However, none of the owners are ever there. They bought this place and do not know how to run it. Drink prices are so expensive....especially when every place in the area offer a Happy Hour and reduced drink prices. Food prices are out of line too. Just because this is in a golf community, doesn't mean they can charge outlandish prices!! There wasn't anyone the place and it is like that most nights. You sure don't need a reservation. They need someone to manage the place that has restaurant experience and who realizes you need to offer incentives, (like reduced drink prices see nights) Can get a $3 beer at nearby restaurant on Mondays. $5 absolute martinis on Thursday, Places are packed. This place will close again and they are only open now, 3 days week.Parking: Parking is easy and plentiful because no one is there!!

Unfortunately I decided to try AJ’s again after a lackluster previous dinner. I took my wife and daughter for dinner on a Saturday night for 6:30 reservations. The place was all but empty. We started with some appetizers, I ordered the chicken wings. The order came out pretty quickly, but the wings were lukewarm and almost cold on the inside. I sent them back and some time later received a piping hot order of wings. They were ok, I wont say they tasted off but they were just not very good tasting. I ordered Chicken Parmesan for my meal. What a received was large flat piece of chicken that more closely resembled cardboard than anything edible. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say the chicken was as dried out and chewy as the chicken jerky strips I feed to my dogs. It was literally the worst chicken I have ever tried to eat. I did not send it back, but I did let the wait staff know after I paid that the kitchen should be made aware of how bad the food was. I waited until after I paid, I was not looking for free food, and our waiter was great, I just wanted the manager to know how bad the food was. And since this was second bad experience in a few months , I also decided to post a review to warn others.

Nice place on golf course. Good food. Nice drive through golf neighborhood to to get there.

Horrible experience. Never had good service. Went in today and the waitresses were watching TV. Waited 10 minutes and no one ever came to our table. There was also two other tables that weren’t receiving
