About the restaurant

La Nouvelle is the next story in our culinary journey by Michael Lugo. This opportunity to bring French Nouveau cuisine to our city has us so excited. Bringing to the helm Matthieu Landillon from the coastal city of Marseille, La Nouvelle allows us to explore classic French Bistro fare with an elevated edge. The atmosphere will lead you to the streets of Paris without leaving St. Augustine.

Delicious cuisine well prepared. Wine lit well-cured and knowledgable staff. Not inexpensive but not over-the-top, either; quality isn’t inexpensive but quite worth it. Definitely a “ I’ll be sure to go back” on our list!

Much prefer the main dining room to the back room to the left of the bar (where we were seated) but a great time nonetheless.

What a great experience and meal. The sorbet palate cleanser before the main course and that bread were really wonderful touches. We will be back and thank you for the birthday dessert!

About the restaurant

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.

i went and ate/had a drink at the downstairs bar last night. it was fairly busy but the bar tender was wonderful, for how busy it was the kitchen seemed to get my food out in a timely manner. espresso martini was top tier & the corn bread warmed me up from the cold. I had the stroganoff, it was the perfect portion. I would definitely recommend this place. friendly staff, good food & great drinks
