    Fine dining has grown exponentially in St Augustine and this fabulous location in the Casa Monica has had a few hits and misses. Cordova is a hit! We’ve dine here a few times but tonight was exceptional. Our server, Martin, is wonderful, he knows the menu and was spot on with every suggestion. Lobster roll appetizer and She crab bisque are phenomenal. The steaks, filet tonight, melts in your mouth. The signature pork chop was amazing. Finished with cinnamon bread pudding. What a treat! Oh, and the convenience of valet parking. Highly recommend!!

    Food was exceptional. A little noisy but it’s a small space and a historic building so that’s to be expected. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

    Wonderful place to meet old friends while passing through St Augustine. We noticed the patio is dog friendly, which is a huge plus to note (even though we did not have our dog). Atmosphere and food were perfect for our lunch plans. Service was so so. Server never returned to refill or ask to refill beverages.

    Michael’s is by far one of the top fine dining options in St. Augustine. Great food with imaginative preparations. A fantastic wine list at very reasonable prices. Our server for this visit was Meghan. She was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of the menu and wine was spot on. Highly recommend her and Michael’s.
