Amazing food and gluten free options. Highly recommended if you are visiting St. Augustine. Staff was extremely friendly and made it a pleasure to visit. Definitely save room for the ice cream.
Awesome place. Cool local art on the walls.
Gluten-free pizza. Wings were just decent. Was surprised how good they were despite having thin sauce just poured on top for some reason. Felt great after. Just great place.
It's probably not fair. I haven't been to CAPs in decades, but it's definitely not the same. I had fried shrimp and hush puppies last week. They were too greasy. It was as if the oil wasn't hot enough and soaked into the food, not hot enough to quickly fry it. My friends had jambalaya. While others may like it, if you are from Louisiana, you might want to skip this dish. For an appetizer, I ordered a smoked fish dip, which was good, but the menu said it was gluten-free. It came with something similar to toasted pita points. When we asked, we were told they were not gluten-free. They were out of gluten-free crackers and offered romaine lettuce. We needed gluten-free, not carb-free.
Excellent choice for gluten free diets. They make everything to order so along with the listed GF items accommodation can be made too. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list was excellent. Highly recommend.
We were staying at Edgewater INN, it was our first night and we didn’t really want to drive and where…and decided with a storm threatening that we’d like to stay close. The restaurant is a casual small gas station themed place. Mia, our server, was fantastic. I’m gluten free so not only was I thrilled about the gf bun for my delicious Black and Blue burger, but thrilled with the flourless choc cake (decadent rich chocolate) My husband enjoyed his meal too. The salads were fresh as well. We went on a Friday night around 7:45. No wait. Go try it! So good!
Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine!
UPDATE: I sent this review to the email address they provided same day as they requested in their reply to this review. They acknowledged that they got it and have said nothing since. Do not be fooled. They have done nothing to help me here. I will update this review if they ever reply or do anything.
Terrible experience. Bad service, not safe, below average food. The waitress did not write down our order and was very frantic. When the food came out, my mom’s (Celiac) was not the correct dish she ordered. It came out with plantains (fired in a shared fryer) and not on an allergy plate. Our waitress went back and came back in less than 2 minutes with a new one on an allergy plate. We think she just moved it to an allergy plate and removed the plantains. However, the dish was still not what she ordered and when she told the waitress, she said yes you did order this. My mom very nicely tried to jog the waitress’ memory on how we ordered and the waitress said “whatever” and walked away. Did not offer to get my mom anything else or apologize for any misunderstanding. My mom did not feel comfortable eating what she ordered so she ended up splitting my filet (also Celiac). It was a below average filet and we both felt bad the next day (likely cross contaminated). On top of that, no one at our table of 6 ever got a water refill throughout dinner
Visiting here from Boston. I enjoyed the Carrot “Lox” bagel (gluten free available). It was one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever had. They have so many healthy and yummy options here as well as to go option. The staff was also so nice
