• Seafood • St. Augustine
Booked 44 times today
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.

    We booked a party of 11 for a birthday celebration and they could not have been more accommodating. We spoke with them a few times before arrival and they were so friendly and professional which carried over to our experience at the restaurant. We ordered from both the pre-arrival and the dinner menu and everything was fantastic. The only downside of our experience was it was a colder than average evening which caused the patio roll downs and heaters to be necessary. When we were first seated, the breeze, ok it was wind, was coming through gap in the flaps making one section of our table uncomfortable. They were so accommodating at shifting our table to move it so it was no longer in the wind. We would absolutely dine here again.

    My wife and I are new to Saint Augustine and tried this restaurant based on all the great reviews. It did not disappoint. The beef tartare was amazing as were the escargot. I had the Wagyu beef, which was definitely worth the price because the flavor was so fantastic with truffle foie gras butter, oh my God! My wife had the duck which she really loved as well. I don’t think you can miss at this restaurant.

    Enjoyed birthday dinner, starting with delicious Montenegro meatballs(great sauce) and tuna tartare(good balance). Perfect whiskey sours. We liked the duck pappardelle and pasta alla vodka as comfort food. Nice chocolate mouse cake for birthday, good crust. Good service from Ashley and beautiful Xmas decorations. Cute hats to take home, fun idea.
