   Simply horrific. Avoid at all costs. Disaster of a restaurant.

   Nights of lights at Christmas time in St Augustine is a crazy time. Lots and lots of people riding the trolleys, and trying to eat dinner. Almost no parking so each dining establishment is very overloaded. We ordered the roast chicken, the catch of the day (halibut) and short rib. With two of the party having dairy issues and the kitchen being worked very hard, no gravy or sauces were provided due to the dairy sensitivities. This made two main courses a little dry, we have eaten here before and enjoyed it. It is a great location near to Ripleys and the trolley tour. A wonderful snowflake cocktail was offered as a speciality choice with rum. My wife really enjoyed it. At $19 though it was a little indulgent. Wines are available by the glass for $13-$14 so not too outrageous. In short any place in the city during this time is very busy. So come with a flexibile attitude and be thankful you got in. The wait staff are super busy also but made time for a brief chat with us. They are very friendly but overworked, and rhe check in desk is quite helpful. If you did not make a reservation the bar (over 21 only) has a full menu available. We would go again only when its a little quieter.

   I was gonna write a long review about the subpar experience we had tonight, but im lazy so to sum it up: -hostess in training needs a LOT more training -Matt was a fantastic server who made the night great after the strange start! -From other reviews I’ve gathered this place is under new ownership/management or something, so until they get their crap together I would steer clear!

   I used to love Saints-George. It had excellent cocktails and lovely food but it’s gone so downhill. The ingredients are now clearly cheap, the food is poorly executed, and the drinks are both boring and poorly conceived.

   Fuimos con una reservación y no nos atendieron hasta media hora después.. Cambiaron el menú y era el navideño y no había muchas opciones para variedades. Las persona que lleva las reservaciones atiende de muy mala forma. Mi primera ves y no volvería a ir

   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.

   I was a little worried after reading some recent reviews but what ever service issues they had were definitely fixed. We had reservations and check in was smooth. We were taken to our table in less than 5 minutes of waiting. I had requested outdoor seating and I wish I hadn't. It was a little chilly however it's on the second floor overlooking the Main Street so there was a lot to see. The only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is their space heaters do not work so if you're eating there at an outside table after sundown bundle up. They had a limited menu due to the holiday which also may have helped them iron out the kinks mentioned in recent reviews. Our service was great, served by Lei sp? Lei was attentive and very friendly. She kept a smile on her face even though the restaurant was crazy busy and she was running. Location is great, food is good and 5 stars for service.

    We usually love the Sainte-George for the holidays, but this year was a bit different from previous years. It started with an overbooking for the 6:30 time-slot, so everyone who had a reservation was made to wait outside until a table was available - we were eventually sat around 6:55. Our waiter was attentive and very apologetic for the wait and he was the best part of the evening. The prefix menu was way overpriced for what it was and the options were minimal - they didn't even include any of the regular menu items, so we were disappointed to not see a pork chop or a steak for Christmas Eve dinner. 3 of us started with the potato leek bisque, which tasted more like a Mexican potato chowder than a potato leek bisque. The highlight of the meal was the crab and artichoke dip, which was fantastic. The holiday platter was weird - ham, tiny amt of mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, and over roasted brussel sprouts. Our other guests had the halibut and said it lacked flavor and had too much sauce. I do understand that we were dining on one of the busiest nights of the year, but for $415 for 4 people, I definitely expected better service on the front end (hostess was not super pleasant, but also clearly overwhelmed by the overbooking) and much better food. I was disappointed because we've been to the restaurant many times and have loved the food and experience. Hoping this was just a fluke with the holidays and an overwhelmed staff.
