This one really missed the mark for us đŸ‘ŽđŸ» Cost $130 including tip. As a St Augustine native, I’ve wanted to try this place for quite some time. After reading the reviews I made an 8PM celebratory dinner reservation for my boyfriend and I. We arrived around 7:50 and were promptly seated, although I asked to be moved as we requested a booth. We were greeted by our waiter and given water almost immediately. He asked for our drink orders as well, and then disappeared for quite some time. My boyfriend pointed out that he was also the bartender so I was trying to give him some grace. Although the majority of the night he was standing over by the pizza oven with most of the staff who all just looked bored. The place was quite empty for a Friday night. He finally returned with my drink but he forgot my boyfriend’s soda, but he wanted to get our appetizer order. I reminded him of the soda, and continued to order the antipasto misto, As well as the Focaccia bread basket. After putting in our appetizers, he told us that the board would be missing some things because they were out of olives, as well as mushrooms. He also mentioned they were out of steak, ribeye, as well as lobster. “Most of the meats” he said. As more time passed (roughly 30 mins) we considered leaving money on the table and and going home as NO ONE had come to our table to give us any updates. Once finally brought the board, and I asked him to go ahead and take our entree order. I ordered the gnocchi gorgonzola and my boyfriend ordered the tagliatelle pasta. We also got a pizza for the table. We figured the pizza would take some time so we snacked on our board and he finally brought out our main entrĂ©es. As he set the entrĂ©es down, he asked if we still wanted to order the pizza or if we wanted to “wait some time “. My thought was maybe so they would be able to close early? It was very strange. The Gocchi was cold, doughy, bland and had barely any cream sauce throughout the dish. The tagliatelle was atrocious, it tasted ‘spoiled’ in my opinion. The pizza was then brought out, which we weren’t a fan of either. The dough was light and airy, cooked nicely on the bottom. But again the sauce was AWFUL. The arugula tasted rancid like it was old, and for being fresh out of the oven the pizza was barely luke warm. So disappointed, and our celebration dinner was ruined.

Wow. Terra and Acqua used to be one of our favorite everyday restaurants. No longer. I fear the owners have checked out and this restaurant will fail quickly like its sister restaurant Alta Marea did. Our dinner tonight was worse than mediocre. The waitress could not locate the wine we wanted or even figure out whether it was available. As she explained, “maybe if a manager or an owner was here” could that basic question be answered. We chose the daily special red. It was fine. The only high note was the fritto misto. That did not disappoint. Everything else did. The tri colore salad was a due colore. Zero radicchio in the salad. Hence it was just green. Certainly not 3 colors. The lobster ravioli were “ok” but lukewarm. That was a waitress fail because nothing was hotter than barely lukewarm. Clearly everything was sitting for quite some time before it was brought to the table. The cinghiale pappardelle pasta was also lukewarm and strangely contained a ton of black olives with pits and still had bay leaves in the sauce. Who does that? The pappardelle cernia, which is a cheaper version of a dish that used to be on Alta Marea’s menu, was also lukewarm. The fish was overcooked as well. Very disappointing. Perhaps the strangest dish was the ravioli zuccha. It was in melted butter. Not brown butter as stated on the menu. Not even lukewarm, it bordered on cold, and the tops of the ravioli were hard and dry and it had to be cut with a knife, not fork, because it was so gummy. Also, there was a random almond cookie tossed on top. Thankfully the diner did not have a nut allergy. As noted, there was no manager on duty at prime time on the busiest weekend of the year in St Augustine. We learned a manager just quit. I can see why. And if the owners don’t care enough to get to their restaurant to oversee it if they don’t have a manager to do so, well, they deserve to fail. Very sad. Hopefully Terra and Acqua will turn around. But we won’t be back any time soon.

The hurricane put a huge shift in our wedding plans. I was devastated, but the show must go on. This restaurant was the only place available to make last minute reservations for a party of 11 (guest number is wrong on the receipt). I booked it 2 days before. I was grateful and appreciative. We arrived at 5pm, and they had a makeshift setup for us. Not the most comfortable, but the restaurant was quaint, so we made it work. It took a while for the waitress to greet us and take our drink orders. Then even longer to take appetizer orders. Even longer to take our entree orders. We noticed other tables that sat down AFTER us, to include a party of 6, get their orders taken, eat, and LEAVE
 and we’re still waiting. When we asked what was going on, we were given so much attitude and disrespect. We were told “You got your drinks and appetizers, what’s the problem?!?”. We decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. I understand that large parties can put stress on a restaurant. However, this reservation was made in advance. Terra & Acqua knew we were coming, I even called the restaurant that day to confirm our arrival. They should’ve planned better, or not accept a large party if they couldn’t accommodate it. But what forced us to leave was the attitude and disrespect that was shown to my husband and father when they inquired what was going on. The supervisor/lead server’s attitude was disgusting and could utilize some leadership and customer service training. As you see in this receipt, in the hour that we sat in this restaurant, all we were served were drinks and bread. A whole hour
..one round of cocktails
. and bread. We ended up eating at Panama Hattie’s. They were very nice and great customer service. Casual dining wasn’t what we’re looking for on a wedding day, buuuut I was so grateful to be treated nicely at Panama Hattie’s after my horrible experience at Terra & Acqua. I’m sure the food is great, but I refuse to eat at a place I don’t matter.

Google Published Public Record FL Aqua Terra. Aqua Terra in St Augustine is not advised for personal safety. I am St Augustine reviewer designated and empowered official St Augustine Floriida 'local guide' by Google Corporation.

I was paid my bill at Aqua Terra and had a complimentary cappuccino at the Acqu Terra patio.

A- Aqua Terra threat to personal safety incident One: While my coffee was half finished, an Aqua Terra employee N- pizza oven asked me to leave the premises. A- Aqua Terra threat to personal safety incident Two: I left the Aqua Terra building and patio and moved my electric scooter, my backpack to the front London Looks and I sat on a public park bench to get my backpack / helmet ready to drive to my next destination. Aqua Terra employee N- pizza oven asked me to leave the entire build lot which is not in any way within the St John FL County code for Aqua Terra's place of business Aqua Terra is advised here to Google Published record of Aqua Terra employees threatening my personal safety similar to Employees at Bar Beer Service places: No Name Bar and Pierres Pub's St George St see my Google Public Published Record FL St Augustine FL Pierres Pub whereas Pierres Pub Bartender and owner removed a non paying homeless Pierre Pub patron to protect me who was harassing me -- while I was not a threat, Pierres Pub persisted to protect the 'homeless patron' at Pierre's Pub unless I decide to leave. I immediately left Pierres Pub.

May 8 2025: See my Google St Augustine Local Guide Reviews - the following St Augustine Businesses have published record customer personal safety issues with the current personnel and management team and not recommended: Aqua Terra, Shanghai Nobbys, British Pub on Anastasia Blvd, Cafe Eleven, Pierre Pub. Cafe Eleven, Aqua Terra, No Name, Pierres Pub management are advised to review interior snd exterior security camera video for Google Published Public cited documented paying customers experiencing personal security threats from the actual employees who are part of the Management and Enployee team of these businesses.

Cafe Eleven employed bass player from the opening band before "Rize employed by the owner Cafe Eleven for Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 8:00 p.m - -The Cafe Eleven employed bass player started talking to me ..

A - "You have lot of energy" and

B- "Do you like to party?"

I diverted him elsewhere by asking him a direct question - I said to him - Dont F-c& with Me!, then politely said to the Cafe Eleven Bass Player "Do You Like Reggae?" - Then the Cafe Eleven employed Bass Player got embarrassed and ran up ti the front the stage.

The Cafe Eleven employed bass guitar player seemed to be looking for a cocaine fix. When I felt threatened by him when he asked me Do like to party? With the intention of Cafe Eleven employed bass guitar player in my party --- No!

I politely diverted the Cafe Eleven Bass guitar player elsewhere by asking "Do You Like Reggae?" - the cafe eleven employed bass player got embarrassed and ran up away from me to the front the stage.

While I could of stayed to Rize finish, I could not enjoy the reggae concert after I had to dismiss a Cafe Eleven employee Bass Guitar player who forced himself on me inside Cafe Eleven to engage me for a high energy "cocaine party" I left the Cafe Eleven building immediately to safety.

Inside Cafe Eleven, the Cafe Eleven employee said to me:

A - "You have lot of energy"

B- "Do you like to party?"

The Cafe Eleven Bass player was harassing me - I did not invite the Cafe Eleven employee Bass player to speak to me - he said above forcing himself on me.

Out for a birthday dinner w the parents. My wife ordered seafood pasta, my father in law ordered lasagna, as did my mother in law. Both parents complained that the top of the lasagna was overcooked and hard (my mother in law complained to me, but powered through it). My wife complained that the ravioli skins were hard, no soft consistency at all. She ate the shrimp and the seafood stuffing, but did not want to wait for another plate. Upon paying of the bill, no plates were comped. The manager had made a table visit asking us what he could do to make our experience better. I guess in his language that meant "we" should have told him to comp the meal. My wife paid the check, and, after seeing her plate still on the menu, Circled it and wrote in the tip section that the waiter should get the money for the pasta. I took the parents out to the car, to which other mother in law discussed the event w the manager. The began to argue about the process of him handling the table. He really felt we should have told him how to handle the issue. After walking the parents to the car, I didn't have the keys, and went back to the restaurant to get the keys from my wife. It seems the manager has seen the lack of tip, and was coming out to confront me, meeting half way between the parking lot at the door. I didn't know at this time thst my wife had stiffed the waiter. The manager asked again what he could have done better, I told him he had 2 out of 5 plates complain, and I would have comped the pasta. He repeated that he asked us what he should have done. I told him that management response is up to management. He then tells he doesn't appreciate a 200.00 bill getting his staff no tip. I told him that was his .anafement problem. I don't usually give reviews, but I absolutely feel ownership and the general public need to know how this guy manages. I have managed food and beverage, I don't believe higher clientele pay for experiance they are dissatisfied with. I know the front of the house (wait staff) pays for failures from the back of the house (kitchen). That's why you have managers. The fact this guy came out to chase me down amazed me. Especially after him and his staff made us pay full price. Bad mgt...Not goin back if he is...
