Restaurants near Lightner Museum

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner at the Columbia. Our waitress was excellent, even though she was very busy she made sure to check on us frequently and attend to all of our needs. I don’t remember her name but it was her birthday on Thanksgiving. The restaurant was decorated beautifully as always at this time of the year. We had a great table in the enclosed patio. It was pretty noisy but that is expected with all the large groups and just adds to the holiday atmosphere! We come here often as we live here and are never disappointed!

Great food, balanced flavors, careful plate preparation, appropriate serving sizes, huge wine menu, 2 sommeliers to help answer wine questions. Would come eat here every day if I could.

The food was delicious and excellent customer service. The dip with the fried artichokes was good on anything and the artichokes had a very light coating on them. Best grilled fish sandwich I have had on fresh Cuban bread - nice and thin so it didn't overwhelm the tastiness of the fish. Nice decorations for the Holidays. Overall good experience.

Haven’t enjoyed a meal so much since before Covid. From the moment we walked through the door we were treated like royalty. Franco was attentive to our needs and courses came out in perfect timing for our romantic date night. Enjoyed my rack of lamb, perfectly done along with my husband’s filet. Best goat cheese appetizer for two followed by a warmed lettuce salad. Wonderful sorbet between courses. Very special evening with great memories.

Old City House is my favorite restaurant in all of St Augustine. It has that perfect old world ambience. The courtyard is quaint and romantic. The food is absolutely delicious and lavishly decorated. This restaurant also makes the best margarita in town! The wait staff is top shelf. I can’t wait to go back very soon. I highly recommend this hidden gem of our beloved St Augustine 💜
