Restaurants near Fountain of Youth

We had a delicious dinner 2 days before Christmas! Raintree was fully staffed, our server was excellent. The restaurant was full of lively holiday people but the background noise for us was not a problem. Our food included fresh salads, pork schnitzel, pasta pomodoro and a shrimp and sausage pasta. The food was great! Even if you don't usually get desserts elsewhere, you must at Raintree. We had bananas Foster crepe, a brandy Alexander shake and the chocolate dome cake. So good.

The men had the filet with truffle butter. It was delicious. Good wine list. Bread was served with roasted garlic. Fabulous. Highly recommend

Oh, the Red Sangria with freshly cut citrus ❤️. The house bread with farm fresh butter, outstanding ! And no one does better plantains ; next time we will order a whole side dish of them. Cafe con leche and house made flan were the perfect finish . We LOVE the Columbia restaurant and we shall return 💯☺️

Our party was a little early for our reservation, however we were seated immediately. We were given light-up holiday hats for everyone in the party because we made a reservation online. So cool! The ambiance was lovely, all decorated for Christmas, a cool little bar, and awesome holiday themed cocktails. The waiter was very attentive. Amazing food! Get the burger! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The shrimp bisque was also quite good. My only negative is the price, but I’d rather spend $150 for a meal that supports a small business, with quality hand-crafted food than pay the same for a chain restaurant of the same predictable menu items. We love St. Augustine and come up every December for Night of Lights. We hope to visit Forgotten Tonic again next year!

This is an excellent restaurant connected to the beautiful Renaissance hotel. It was beautifully decorated for the holiday. We were seated in a quiet spot as requested. Kendall our waitress was very pleasant . Making nice suggestions and attentive. The wine by the glass was somewhat limited but with very nice choices. We had the Malbec and Cabernet and not disappointed. Fish and chips was above average and the steak and frites was terrific and cooked a perfect medium rare. Nice way to end our evening in St Augustine
