The most uniquely amazing dining experience! The character of the atmosphere, the music, the food and the service is like no other restaurant in St Augustine! Ramona acoustical played tonight and it was like being at your favorite concert while fine dining. The best of both worlds. She is a local favorite for a reason! There's no talent in St Augustine like her! She puts on the most captivating performance. This is a MUST on your best places to go in St Augustine!

This has to be one of the top restaurants I have ever been to. Everything we ordered was amazing. The salmon carpaccio was out of this world. Highly recommend the signature martini for something different. The owners were actually the performers and I could not say enough good things. They were so talented. I can’t wait to go back.

This was my first time here since Chez L’mour’s media night mid/end of summer. I specifically drove from Jacksonville on this particular night for a reservation with a friend to see Rachael Warfield play from 6-9pm. The ambiance is just how I remembered. It’s beautiful inside chez l’amour. There are a couple dining rooms, a few bars, extra bathrooms upstairs, and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the live music while also carrying on a conversation with your table. We started with the bread service, had an espresso martini each which was very smooth and really hit the spot! We then ordered some caviar, one more cocktail, & beignets with prosciutto. I meant to order the delicious ube dessert along with their sorbet featured but we ran out of room. We thought we might come back later to enjoy but we didn’t make it back in. Perfect to come back another time and try! I really love this dining space paired with their live music they schedule each night. A wonderful treat and the perfect reason to make the trip from Jax.

I had my wedding reception here and the experience was incredible. Chef Ellie created delicious dishes we were raving about for days . Joey did an AMAZING job coordinating everything. And the cocktails were beyond delicious. We loved this venue because it was private and the food was incredible. If you’re looking for a place in St Augustine to have a private event look no further this is the place.

Me and my friend had a beautiful time at Chez L’amour! I'm in love with the atmosphere: dim lights, soft and classy music, amazing food, and service. The food was delicious; my favorite was the root vegetable hash during brunch with a poached egg. I never thought beats could taste so good. I wish they had avocado but it was still really good. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food, music, or a classy or romantic vibe.

A hidden gem! We stumbled on this restaurant while visiting St. Augustine and we will be going back soon! The food is amazing and the service and live entertainment were perfect! The ambiance made for a memorable experience. Joey was the best waiter and also a talented performer when he played piano and sang for us!

Being with a Chef and getting invited to another restaurant is fun, when you and your chef are impressed with every single dish, the WOW factor is definitely there. We're talking flavor explosions in every single bite, from the bread service with a sweet butter, to the main Cajun Tuna dish and vegetable platter!! Romantic atmosphere, live piano was definitely a very nice touch. When the owner comes by a few times to thank us for coming... feels like immediate family! I personally have not been to any other restaurant like it. The menu is very creative and my Chef just said it was a culinary amusement park! We will definitely be back!!! If you haven't been. It's a must go! Fabulous!!

If you are looking for a classy night out with music and a meal Chez L’Amour is the spot for you! Wonderful small plates, great meals and fabulous live music all in a gorgeous setting. During this visit I tried the Meat and Potatoes and was not disappointed with my choice. The braised short ribs were tender and delicious, the garlic mashed potatoes were rich and creamy and the carrots were cooked to perfection. The food is always top notch here!
