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.

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!

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.

Went downtown over the holidays. The service was great. Food was great and we really enjoyed the face it was so centrally located where we could walk to every attraction. The tour bus ticket ride and pickup area is right across the street. They take you to all the sights. Really had a good time. During Christmas time they wrap up the whole place like a Christmas present. It was very festive.

This place is located in the new Renaissance Hotel. Typically I don’t favor hotel restaurants, but wanted to give it a try. Wow. The service, atmosphere, and food were all top notch 5/5. You can even use the hotel valet service to park. Our waiter was extremely professional and courteous. I ordered the turkey meatloaf, asparagus, with a side of au gratin potatoes. The portions were perfect and it was the best meal I’ve eaten in a long time. The atmosphere was quiet, lighting just right, and there were also a few outdoor tables. Plan on returning and spreading the word.

This restaurant has unique delectable dishes and desserts beyond compare. First class food, service, and ambience for a reasonable price. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! We’re locals and this is our new favorite place. Love it here!

First time visiting st Augustine and we walked past a few places to eat and stumbled across this place. The food menu caught my attention as I wanted something to fill me up as they had great burger options. But the drinks is what was really cool how you serve your own beer and pay by the ounce. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

Was looking for a place for dinner with the fam while exploring the area. Stopped here, the girls I side the took my order were extremely nice. We sat outside on this beautiful day. We drank bottled water, so we didn’t partake in the draught beers that they are known for. The food was great though. They got our order perfect and it came out quickly considering how busy they were. The burgers we got looked delicious, although I got the Italian sausage sub. It looked as wonderful as it tasted. The roll was perfectly soft and the onions and peppers were great on the huge sausage. I would definitely go again just to get that sausage sub.

Great Irish restaurant. Authentic food. Great drink selection. The clam chowder is fantastic. The Mac and cheese was very good. The home made Irish creme is worth the hype. This place is on the water. Has really nice views with outside seating. It’s a little pricey but that is expected in this area.

Had a late lunch on Christmas day 2021 at Meehan’s with my wife and sister-in-law. It was great! We were able to get a couple of seats at the bar and avoid a very long wait. The staff was extremely courteous, and service was excellent. I had the Shepard’s Pie from the limited holiday menu, and it was terrific! I’ll definitely go back the next time I’m in town.

Just came home from the most wonderful wedding reception for my son and his bride. What a wonderful intimate space the upstairs was for the reception. Excellent appetizers and buffet! And dancing on the porch all night long! Bartenders and wait personnel were happy, efficient and added to the party atmosphere. I could not have imagined a more perfect event. To say the least a good time was had by all. Thank you Bryan and Staff for creating such a perfect party atmosphere for us, we truly appreciated it!

This was a late night order 11:30 PM as the kitchen closes at 12 PM midnight. The food was fantastic! Hot, fast and very good for late at night. We ordered wings (they come with celery and dressing), calamari and 2 Candlelight burgers-one with waffle fries and one with sweet potato fries. Again, outstanding! Would have given a 5 star but when placing the phone order I was asked if I wanted mayo, mustard and ketchup for the burgers and plates, forks and napkins. Yes please and thank you was my response to each question but we did not get any of that. Not even napkins. 🙁 I can get past no plates or forks but no napkins?? 🙁 Oh, and order was $87, tipped $20, on a pick up order, no one really waited on me, to get back to the room and realize…. 🙁 **Does the cook receive most of that tip? 😮

Went in way before closing time and tried to use their restroom. Bartender yelled at us that it cost $10 to use the restroom. We said okay and then she walked up to us and said they are not a public restroom and we had to buy a drink to use it. We agreed and she immediately said they were closed (they were not closed). Extremely rude and disrespectful. There was an entire table still there. They all seemed to be her friends. Don’t go here for the bar! Kindness costs nothing

A walk right across the street from a very cute well priced hotel, they have a fried green tomato BLT that is TO DIE FOR, it was SO good. And the waffle fries were stellar, they even kept pretty well over night. I didn’t actually go in the place to check it out cause I was super tired but my boyfriend said it deserved 4 stars, so I figure it really deserves 5 haha. He was excited about the pool tables.

Amazingly tasty retreat from the big crowds in a calm backyard just around the corner from the main pedestrian zone. Great fresh food. Good vegetarian options (double check with the staff for ingredients!) – not suited for vegans tho. Relaxing taste in music. Friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you so much!

Visited St. Augustine for the day and after a day of walking and visiting the shops and fort we were starved. We pulled in and we’re greeted by KP. We ordered the garlic bread with cheese & 2 giant meatballs for appetizer, and then ordered a pepperoni & cheese calzone. It was all delicious. The two of us split dinner and had 2 boxes of left overs to take home. We sat outside on the patio at the shaded tables where they had live music and ate our dinner. The bathrooms were really clean too. We definitely plan to return on our next trip down! It was so good!

Great spot. I was there the week before last. I had an Italian cold cut it was great. The folks next to us had a pie and it looked great and they made short work of it so it must have been. The staff was very nice. They were very busy and still did a great job. The only thing that could have made it better was if they had the diced hot cherry pepper hoagie spread for the cold cut. I can’t wait to visit again!

Had an amazing dinner last weekend! We sat outside in a charming gazebo that had a heater, thankfully! Even though it was a bit chilly, we really enjoyed being outdoors for dinner. The service was superb and the food was perfection. We loved every bite! If you appreciate fine dining in a casual setting, this is a MUST. They made our anniversary very special. We will be back again, for sure.

We had dinner here for the first time in 1988 and have come here ever since. The food is always amazing and steaks always cooked to perfection. The presentation pleasing with a very relaxing atmosphere…. Makes for the perfect date night location. Make your reservations in advance as it has always been one of the most popular restaurants in St. Augustine.

We ate here for our 31st wedding anniversary. Stayed at a air b&b within walking distance. There is something for everyone to eat here. Our waitress Susie was wonderful. Ate outside on a beautiful evening. From the the bang bang shrimp to the banana craps. Everything was fantastic. I had fish and my husband steak all cooked to perfection. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time. I’m sure next time we are in town we will be back.

Bartender/guy who “runs the place” was aggressive and unprofessional. We played a game at the table for fun. He told us to stop and why. All good. But then he proceeded to be aggressive looking for an argument over the issue. There are many great places in St Aug. We won’t go back to this one.

Surprisingly good food. Steve, the bartender, is the best conversationalist there is. I couldn’t finish my food because we just kept talking. Next time I’m in St Augustine I’m coming back.

My boyfriend and I made a reservation (would recommend) here for a Friday night, and everything was delicious. We were sat upstairs which had a cute, chill vibe. We got the Fried Shrimp Fancy to start, and then the Tuna Bowl and Meat and Potatoes for entrees. The flavors worked really well together in all three, I was impressed! It was also a good amount of food. I also had the Garden Gimlet to to drink and that was pretty tasty as well. Would love to go back next time and try more plates.

There are a lot of places in St. Augustine where you feel like the tourist that you are. The Floridian is not one of them. My family loved this place. Service was fine, especially considering how busy they were. Drinks were good and the food was fantastic. My flounder was perfect. My only complaint is that it was a bit loud. We sat upstairs and some additional sound absorbing surfaces would help. We will definitely go back.

My family and I are here and were lucky enough to get in right when they opened for dinner. The service was quick and food came out nice and freshly prepared. My son ordered the cheese quesadilla off the kids menu. We had the cheese board app, my husband got the fried chicken sandwich which he said was the best thing he has had on our entire trip. I ordered the ‘N Waffles. I will say I probably would have preferred a little more sauce perhaps on the side which I probably could have asked for. The pulled pork had a nice flavor and the cornmeal waffles was a nice twist. We ended with the salted caramel brownie which was very nice and just enough to share. All in all great experience and would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed this place. The food was exquisite and the service was friendly and prompt. If you are looking for a good place with good food, great service and comfortable setting then catch 27 seafood restaurant is the plce to go. And a special thanks to our server Spencer for a job well done. We would eat her again.

Good food and attentive service but very stark interior and boring atmosphere. Going out to a restaurant is more than just food. You want to enjoy your evening. You want to see an inviting atmosphere. This restaurant needs help with how to organize it tables and decorate its interior

Loved the garden patio, dog friendly with attentive polite staff. The vegetarian options are somewhat limited. I enjoyed a fresh garden salad and a side of seasonal veggies, my husband enjoyed the Cheshire Pork Chop over asparagus and lentils. We could not pass their desert and took home a large slice of the bread pudding, the drinks are creative and refreshing. Definitely recommend Catch 27.

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 !!!
