It was a great experience! The food was amazing. It was busy when we arrived, but the wait was short—less than 15 minutes. The mahi mahi was absolutely delicious, while the Datil chicken was okay. Definitely loved the seafood more than the chicken! Service was great as well—our server kept checking on us and was very attentive. Overall, the ambience was really nice too. Highly recommend!
My family of 4 walked right in on a Tuesday night and were greeted with a cheerful kind server named Shawna. She kept our drinks full and was quick to take our orders and get our food out. Rainbow trout for me, with garlic mash potatoes. I LOVED it. Most entries are served with a salad. Bread came with the salads. Totally different, but great. My boys had steaks and they were all prepared exactly how they ordered. We recommend Black Molly. My husband had a Bloody Molly and enjoyed it.
We finally decided to give this place a try! After a small wait, we were seated & what seemed to be a good experience- when down hill quick - our service was initially good - then we got to see things other tables were getting- my wife's drink was empty for most of her meal - thank goodness we called right away & found out that our 1st experience was not typical- Maria quickly took the blame & offered us a return visit- so I will update this after our next time- food was very tasty & the spinach artichoke dip was one of the best we have had! Her salmon was excellent & my pasta was quite loaded
What a great place to eat! Food is ample and delicious! The chefs are very talented and offer a nice variety of options. We’ve eaten there many times since moving to St Augustine and it’s become our favorite restaurant. Service is always impeccable and Happy Hour is a terrific value. I’m especially impressed by the friendly, responsive service by Kate, Johnathan , Laree, Josh, and Kaylee (sp?).
Black Molly's Lunch Amazing lunch specials, we both got the Steak Kabob $15.99. I ordered a Jolly Molly which was a BOGO. She had a Sweet Tea Been meaning to try this place for a long time, sad it took us so long to try it. Great experience, clean food at a reasonable price. Chef even peaks out to see everyone enjoying his food. I gave him thumbs up from across the room & he acknowledged. Must try!!!
Our server, Cathy, was amazing. We sat outside and enjoyed the quiet and an amazing breeze. That would have made it a good trip. The food, however, elevated it to amazing. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. You have to try this place!
