Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in St. Augustine

This was our first time back to the historic house (formerly owned by Maria Jefferson Shine, Thomas Jefferson's great granddaughter) on Bridge St. since Preserved closed more than a year ago. My husband and I wanted to eat on the porch and a table was reserved for us there but the wind and drizzle made us change our mind and sit inside. The lunch menu is rather pricey but the quality of the selections is in line with the pricing. We split a cup of the Minorcan chowder - best we have ever had highlighted by he smokey tomato broth and abundance of clams. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Royal (burger with frites) and I had the Cesar salad. Both of us were pleased with our selections. We had hot tea (several Tazo varieties to choose from) to accompany our meal. Alex provided outstanding service including refilling cold and hot water (for the tea) when appropriate. The wine list is extensive so my husband and I will be back for dinner soon. Highly recommended..

The lunch is wonderful portions and taste at a very reasonable price - thank you

Loved the place and it's location!!! The staff was absolutely awesome, very friendly, professional and very accommodating. The wait was just, given the holiday, and the food was really good. We absolutely enjoyed it....I'll definitely be back and recommend it.

This was our first time dining here, we wanted to sneak in before the move to the new location. Our server, Christian, was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable with suggestions & explaining the specials. We enjoyed our dinner and look forward to visiting again!

We had a delicious dinner 2 days before Christmas! Raintree was fully staffed, our server was excellent. The restaurant was full of lively holiday people but the background noise for us was not a problem. Our food included fresh salads, pork schnitzel, pasta pomodoro and a shrimp and sausage pasta. The food was great! Even if you don't usually get desserts elsewhere, you must at Raintree. We had bananas Foster crepe, a brandy Alexander shake and the chocolate dome cake. So good.
