The Reef
If a spectacular dinner with a view is what you seek, there is no better place than The Reef. Despite the beauty of the Northern Florida coastline, there are not too many true oceanfront restaurants around St. Augustine. Thankfully, a restaurant of some kind or another has been on this spot for decades. Since it is so close to the water, the kitchen focuses on seafood, however there are still some meat and poultry options. Sunday brunch is a popular time, where the staff serves eggs Benedict made-to-order, homemade waffles and crab legs in addition to other classic breakfast items.
This local favorite, gorgeously situated on the historic oceanfront promenade of Avenida Menendez, is a strong contrast to most of its neighbors. While certainly possessed of an ageless grace, it's clearly from a bygone era when rents were lower and businesses of non-elite tastes and targets could afford to inhabit the premises. Indeed, the decor and architecture is markedly dated, but the staff is courteous and welcoming, and the food has kept St Augustine residents coming back fopr decades. The eponymous harbor view is likewise an attraction, and daily specials often provide a sumptuous repast at a steal of a price.
2 Creeks Bar & Grill is a neighborhood restaurant which serves lunch and dinner with a full bar and outside patio. Breakfast served Friday - Sunday. Trivia on Wednesday nights. Live music Friday nights and some Saturday nights.
