The best seafood boil my boyfriend and I have ever had hands down! I absolutely loved the shrimp and grits. It was a huge portion and very filling. We also got Conch fritters as an appetizer, they were very fresh and light. They came with 6 fritters, about the size of ping pong balls. Our server was Mason. He was very attentive and nice. We will most definitely be back, but with our families!

Excellent food and service! The sushi we had was really good. It was so good after our boat ride we came back and had dinner. The prices are a little high but to be expected for such a location. I would highly recommend trying them.

Luckily we found this place and decided to eat there. This place is a beauty. Loved those surroundings of tress, plants, boats and water. I must say I loved my poke bowl, the best I had, tuna was so dam fresh and good, we also had catch of the day, rice wasn’t good though, kids enjoyed their shrimps and chips. Sushi was also refreshing. It was really good food so plz if you are there don’t miss it.

Oh my goodness where do I start. Greeter was supper sweet. We were able to get a hut with no wait. The waiter was on top of everything. He was great. We ordered appetizers – gator tail and pulled jerk chicken wraps – oh my – delicious !! Also, ordered lobster mac & cheese – delicious !! We enjoyed the atmosphere. We will be returning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! (my 10 year old daughter had a blast).

Very good food. Nice outdoor seating. Nachos were great, surprisingly so as they are…well…just nachos. Or so I thought. Perhaps I need to buy restaurant nachos more…but I digress. Flounder was fish of the day and was excellent. Shrimp and grits were awesome. Nice deserts. Not cheap, but well worth it. We don’t drink, but everyone seemed to have some fruity beverage on hand.

What a great restaurant. The individual tables up in the air like a crows nest are wonderfully romantic. The service was great. The food arrived quickly. It was great food for lunch. We love the seafood! The view was spectacular. The breeze delightful!

This place is truly hit or miss for me. Like sometimes this place is the best and is a low key, waterside dining experience with great food and even better cocktails. But other times, like my last visit, one is met with a half-filled dining room AND a 25 minute wait. I understand that the staff needs to equitable and not seat too many customers for the amount of servers BUT the weekend, dinnertime rush is going to be your busiest yet most profitable time. Additionally, the service, yet friendly and hospitable, is slow! All in all, Hurricane Patty’s is great BUT timing is key for your enjoyment.

Went for the Valentines Night Special. Very good value. Food was great. Scenery from our table on the outside deck was really exquisite. The mixed clam chowder both New England and Minocian together was a shockingly delicious combo! Loved it! Service was a bit slow but super friendly. Highly recommend this gem!!

Excellent meal. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Good selection, served fresh and hot. Lobster bisque was one of the best ones I’ve had. Very friendly and helpful staff.

So I can’t even really share how the food would have been. I always love sharing great experiences as I do my best to never give negative feedback. But I was very upset with how I was treated here. My experience starts at the front. Standing there waiting to be acknowledged. The hostess they have at the front needs to learn how to properly greet people and share with them the wait times. We were ignored for minutes by the hostess until she told us to step back and wait in another spot. There is a way to talk to customers…that is not acceptable. Another gentleman came up to the couple in front of us to share about the wait time. Again, never acknowledging us or even looking in our direction. We decided to leave as the start of our time and experience at this establishment was already soured. I see why they have a poor rating now.

Went to Nero’s for breakfast after staying the night in a nearby hotel. My breakfast was insanely delicious. The presentation and colors alone made my mouth water. Highly recommend this little gem, especially beautiful to see at night when all lit up during the annual Night of Lights celebration. Location, location, location. Perfect.

I asked before we got a table whether the seafood was fresh, and got an immediate NO from the Maitre’De. I would have thought that a restaurant that had people standing in line behind a red rope would have fresh seafood- not frozen, in this type of setting. Disappointed, but found that Harry’s on the next block down has fresh shipments DAILY, and the Shrimp & Grouper there was awesome !!!

For as busy as this place was, we got sat and served quickly. Reasonably priced drinks and food. A great selection and diversity of foods. From land to sea and great comfort foods. They all looked awesome. Great view and location

There is some good eating here. The food is definitely worth the trip. We split an appetizer and an entree. The drinks are very pricey. I can only assume it is to keep people from drinking too much. They were tasty but not strong. We ate on the outside deck and enjoyed the beautiful sunny afternoon. The deck is covered with square umbrellas that, when opened, can totally block the sun so you can sit out there in comfort.

One of my favorite spots… Has best deck and outside bar. Good music at night. Has the BEST Fried Clams. All great EXCEPT one thing… they used to have the best BEACHES ALE… I’m missing that today. Just maybe they will bring it back. Was one of my favorites.

Great service and great food. We went here for dinner. They were quite busy but got us a table as promptly as could be expected. I was very pleased with what we ordered. The apps, mains, and desserts were all very tasty. Our waitress was very kind and gave great service. We will definitely eat again at Harry’s the next time we go to St Augustine! I highly recommend checking this place out.

This place was incredible! Wonderful food and amazing staff. If the line is out the door, be sure to go in and put your name in. We stood in a line that was formed outside before realizing that they were just waiting to be called. We put our name in and waited upstairs at the bar area and the bar staff was super friendly and very helpful. Once we were seated upstairs, the wait staff were all smiles and super friendly and very attentive. This was our best dinner experience all week, hands down!

Loved my experience here! The bread was very fresh and warm. We had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer which was excellently topped. I had a chicken and shrimp creole as my entree which was delicious. Great sauce to meat and rice ratio, perfect bites every time. Cocktails were perfect and to my taste. This was the best meal we had in St Augustine— a must try!

Party of 12 seated at 8pm. We were served about 915. Some of the food was good but several orders of fresh catch prepared a variety of ways were over-cooked. The crab cake was excellent. Some of the fish was excellent. It just seemed that they had a hard time getting the food prepared at the same time for our large party on a week night at a time when there were few other patrons in the restaurant. My wife and I have eaten at OC Whites numerous times as a party of 2 and 4 and have been pleased with the fare in the past.This night , with a party of 12, perhaps tested the chef to the limit.

The first hints of Florida Spring, easy strolling distance from the heart of the old city. A patio in full bloom, providing beautiful sights and smells, a delicious Sunday brunch for my wife and 20 month old son. Hibiscus mimosas to go with the delicious shrimp and grits. A fun, kind, and engaging staff, and the woman who took care of us was truly exceptional – I believe her name was Barbie, and she took an already beautiful day, and went above and beyond to make it even more perfect. Can’t wait to return, hope to see you on our next adventure!

Super good!! We started with the crab cake. I have to say, there was a little bit of shell in it, but the flavor was so good I can’t bring myself to dock the review a star. Boyfriend got the coconut shrimp which he really liked – he said the marmalade went really well with it and even dipped his fries in it. I got the salmon fish and grits – it was amazing. Slight twist of the classic shrimp and grits. I also had the white sangria which was delicious!

Wonderful experience and fabulous staff and food! Denise is the best server ever, she was absolutely amazing! Catered to my every need while waiting for the rest of the 6 people to show up, then she catered to us all~Kim the hostess was terrific as well and so friendly and welcoming! The manager Andre was great, I told him how fabulous Denise & Kim were and then he came back to check on us and talk to all of us. I cannot say enough about this place, truly wonderful. The staff on the rooftop lounge also truly nice, welcoming, and friendly, great service there too. I highly recommend this restaurant for the views and mainly the Outstanding service, staff and food! All of our meals were excellent!!!!! Love this place!!!!

My sister and I had the most wonderful dinner here on our vacation to Anastasia Island. The location and views were amazing. We had a cozy little spot on the outdoor patio. The food was amazing, hands-down the best around. Our server’s name was Amelia and she could not have done a better job. Very attentive and personable without hovering and also was very familiar with the menu and was able to easily answer my questions. The GM even came over to say hello. River + Fort was impressive all the way around and the best dining experience I’ve had to date. I can’t wait to go back.

Love this new Restaurant in St Augustine!! We went there last night for craft cocktails and shared appetizers and had the most delicious ribs, deviled eggs w/ caviar, fried green tomatoes and really fresh berry and also a coconut cocktail. Excellent! Chelsea the Manager was very nice and so was the wait staff. The ambiance is gorgeous and different areas to sit indoors or out. Highly recommend.

Very satisfied. From the minute we walked in we were welcomed with the wonderful aroma. Great views and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The bar also had an amazing and rare, large whisky selection. And let’s not forget the food we loved everything we tried and saw what some of the other guest were eating and definitely wanted to try there’s next time. Clam chowder was one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend Fish Camp.

Love this place! It screams quality. The food is amazing, fresh, cooked perfectly, and the service is great! I watched the food leave the kitchen during our time and it was delivered fast and beautifully. Enjoyed flounder, sweet potato salad, and chocolate torte. Would love to come back! Drinks were great too! Phoebe will take good care of you at the bar.

We loved this place. We sat at the small bar and Louie was our bartender. He makes the best High Tides. We had the amazing Smoked Fish Spread and the Fried Green Tomatoes as appetizers. The Salt and Pepper Tuna and the Crab Cakes for entrees. EVERYTHING was so good. Can’t wait to go back and sit outside by the water.

Wait was about ten minutes. 630pm on a Friday evening. Every staff member greeted us even the busboys were smiling and gave a nod. Which was awesome, seemed like a great work environment. The bar was next to the waiting area upstairs which made it super convenient to grab a cocktail ( I ordered an old fashioned, the bartender was super on point, one of the best I have ever tasted). Our waiter Ben knew the menu forwards and backwards, his energy and overall demeanor was awesome. He didn’t try and sell the most expensive things on the menu, I felt his honesty and opinions are what made the difference on our selections. My wife ordered a painkiller cocktail, she mentioned how great it was and definitely not watered down. We ordered the blue crab/ artichoke dip which was freaking amazing! I had the sesame tuna and my wife ordered the shrimp tacos. Also had a side Caesar salad. Everything tasted fresh, and had very pleasing texture and flavor. Our bill total was $91 and we tipped Ben $20. Portion sizes were great, staff attentiveness was great. My only regret was that I did not acknowledge the bartender again and thank him for the awesome drinks. Oh, and the live band had us dancing in our seats. Thank you A1A!

Great atmosphere, superb view if you choose balcony seating. Smells incredible when you walk past. Beware of going later in the evening, and/or during extremely busy times like spring break. The food was less than expected. We ordered appetizers since they were out of several main course items. On the nachos, the cheese wasn’t melted, and the chicken was reheated until it was desert dry. The wings were already cool when they got to the table. They were very short staffed in all areas, so this negatively impacted the overall experience. The staff on hand, however, worked efficiently and were incredibly friendly!

Excellent restaurant and bar. Upstairs is the main dining area, downstairs is a lounge and bar. Full liquor bar available. We have been there many times and have always had a great meal. Sandwiches, soup, salad, full size entrees- good for lunch and dinner. Outside seating is very pretty. Nice view of the Bridge of Lions.
