We had the “Encocado de Mar” and the “Pulpo à la Gallega” both dishes were very good.
All though I have rated the food with a 5 star rating, I would like to point out that the original “Pulpo à la Gallega” is absolutely NOT this dish at all.
I have traveled all over Spain with my wife (who’s from Spain) and the preparation and presentation for this dish is not even close to what it’s supposed to be. Maybe the restaurant should give their dish a different name.
Yet… I will point out that their style for preparing the octopus is absolutely delicious!
I will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant.

We went for my birthday and I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! Everything was great and food was even better. The Blood In The Water drink was delicious. The lobster bisque and ceviche were both Devine! I didnt like the duck personally but my husband loved the short ribs. My server was great and helpful with the menu. 5 stars all around.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The service was good. I appreciated the little thoughtful details, like putting our names on the reservation card. The food was good, especially the lobster biscuit! We had Seafood platter, shrimp itself was not tasty but the broth was good. The only downsides were that they didn’t offer custom drinks—for example, I ordered a martini with gin but was only given the standard drink menu—and the menu has changed, but the website hasn’t been updated.

Nice place to go for a dinner with family or friends.
I got the Lobster Bisque soup and their Sea Bass.
The sea bass was soft and flaky. The soup was warm and delicious.
Service was pleasant.
If you visit Saint Augustine, this is a nice spot off of the main strip to enjoy dinner/drinks!

I want to start by saying Kateryna saved this entire experience!
We happened upon the location after visiting the winery. It was pretty cool being 12/30/25 and it was getting late. Since we are visiting, we decided not to drive around and opted to try this location.
We went to the host stand and there was a young lady and a young man there. They were looking a little down their noses at us, but whatever. I didn’t see a dress code at the door. Again, it was cool outside that day, so I had on a long sleeve t-shirt and hubby had on his mossy oak pullover. We were asked if we had reservations, and we didn’t, so the young lady said, there’s room out in the patio.
I’m like, it’s cold – almost didn’t get to finish my sentence and was told there are heaters out there. They’re heaters didn’t do to much, after I tested it. I came back indoors and was about to have my husband get our outwear from the car, when Kateryna came and told us there was an indoor table available, but would be needed at 6:50pm. It was nearly 5:30, so, plenty of time. THANK YOU, KATERYNA!!!
Kateryna was attentive and quick to respond from the water all the way to the bill. Our food was wonderful! No room, sadly, for dessert. I can’t help but wonder if it was the way we were dressed or that we were an interracial couple which prompted the hostess to immediately suggest outside. Either way, I’m glad Kateryna jumped in.

Warning: Vegetarians are second class citizens at La Cocina at the Cellar Upstairs and their snobbish chef will treat you like a basement dweller.
Their current chef refused to make a sandwich without the turkey deli meat which is like refusing to not remove onions, lettuce or tomato from a sandwich.
Very disappointing since this same restaurant had previously made the same meatless sandwich for my vegetarian wife on two separate occasions.
We won’t go back and if you have food restrictions or allergies, don’t waste your time with this snooty line cook.

La Cocina at the Cellar Upstairs (San Sebastian Winery) 10/10! Brought us in early before our reservation, the service and staff were amazing and the food was delicious and phenomenal! Lobster bisque, escargot, Chilean sea bass and shrimp pork belly tortellini was fantastic. Surprise birthday dessert to top it all off. After we enjoyed drinks outside with live music. Before dinner, we did the wine tour before hand to make a little date night out of it. Highly recommend!

We recently hosted our rehearsal dinner at La Cocina and the experience was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth.
The food was exceptional—beautifully presented and full of flavor. Our guests were raving about the menu selections all evening. The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion: elegant yet comfortable, creating a relaxed environment for family and friends to celebrate together.
Special thanks to Zoe and the team for accommodating our requests and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It truly exceeded our expectations and made an important night even more memorable. We highly recommend for any special event!

Delightful staff. Awful food. Ridiculous prices for the quality. Ordered their signature shrimp dish, the duck, filet mignon and Brie appetizer. Only the steak was acceptable.
The shrimp dish had an off taste. The Brie dish was nothing, and I’ve never had tougher duck. For the three of us with no alcohol, I paid $207. Never again. Never.
