The Reef, originally called Comptons, was built by the Usina family on a beautiful piece of oceanfront property, owned by the family for generations, located on tranquil North Beach, three miles north of the Usina Bridge. Comptons opened in 1989 and enjoyed great success for the next ten years. It closed in 1999 due to the ill health of Mr. Compton and hurricane damage. There are few remaining true Oceanfront restaurants in Northeast Florida, and of those, The Reef, commands the most spectacular views. Sit at any table inside and the view is dynamic to say the least, or enjoy the recently rebuilt and expanded deck where you not only look out at The Ocean, you listen to it too as the waves break and the birds cry. To complement this vista Chef Denzel Aponte' has created a menu primarily of fish and seafood balanced with beef, poultry pasta and creative specials, always fresh and sourced locally whenever possible.

    Wow! What a dining experience! Paul was knowledgeable and attentive with great recommendations! Lauren, our server, was sweet, kind, and made the evening special. Oh, and the food was prepared and seasoned perfectly! The ratatouille (a side item) should be its own dish. It is out of this world. I have never had anything like it. Cheers to the entire staff at La Nouvelle Bistro for a memorable evening. We will be back!

    Fine dining has grown exponentially in St Augustine and this fabulous location in the Casa Monica has had a few hits and misses. Cordova is a hit! We’ve dine here a few times but tonight was exceptional. Our server, Martin, is wonderful, he knows the menu and was spot on with every suggestion. Lobster roll appetizer and She crab bisque are phenomenal. The steaks, filet tonight, melts in your mouth. The signature pork chop was amazing. Finished with cinnamon bread pudding. What a treat! Oh, and the convenience of valet parking. Highly recommend!!

    Food was exceptional. A little noisy but it’s a small space and a historic building so that’s to be expected. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

    Michael’s is by far one of the top fine dining options in St. Augustine. Great food with imaginative preparations. A fantastic wine list at very reasonable prices. Our server for this visit was Meghan. She was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of the menu and wine was spot on. Highly recommend her and Michael’s.
