Spy

This is the best food we’ve ever had in St. Augustine! Sushi bar is great, kitchen food is devine! This is a must try 1 block from St. George Street.

My husband and I stopped in with another couple and fell in love with Spy. Downstairs is a gastropub and upstairs is a sushi spot. We all picked off the downstairs lunch menu. We had the Massad Reuben, the KGB, the Berlin Wall, and the MI6. All were stellar! The cornbeef and the saurkraut are curred in house and make an amazing sandwich. We were also treated to homemade matzo ball soup. The owner/​chef Ed spent some time talking to us about his food And was very kind. Dodie was our server and has a great sense of humor. If you’re in the area, stop in and give this great little spot a try!

We stumbled upon this new place while exploring Hypolita Street. We were lured in by the music of the outdoor musician playing on the Spy’s outdoor patio. We sat, (and drank) for hours as we listened to the «Pied Piper» and people-​watched from this fantastic location.
The owner and staff were customer-​focused, and participated in our conversations and banter. We sampled some deliciously yummy flavored sake, sangria and ice cold brews. We had already eaten, so I wasn’t hungry enough to try any of their delicious menu, but I will be back to sample all their rich offerings. And yes, this is a new establishment, and all the staff is new, but what they (currently) lack in experience, they make up in personality, fun and customer service. That being said, I would rather visit here than sit at another «established» place where the staff treats you badly, (listen Meehan’s).
The inside dining area is dark and comfy, and perfect for a quiet Sushi tasting with friends, or intimate couples night out.

Good live music, fantastic atmosphere, and yummy food. While on vacation, spy was a place that was highly recommended for their sushi and they did not disappoint. I ordered the volcano roll and I devoured it in less than 5 minutes. My friends order the st Martin I believe, and we also had orders of gyoza, teriyaki chicken stir fry and spicy tuna roll. In my group of 4 girls, everybody raved about their food.
It also helped that the live music was fantastic which made for an even better dinner. The singer sang blues, country, and many varieties of cover songs. I thoroughly enjoyed myself sitting outside in the court yard with the nice breeze, good food, and great music.
Overall spy is a place I will be back to when I’m back in town for vacation. It was refreshing and an overall great evening.
