Best Historic Restaurants in St Johns

We dined at Raintree on Thanksgiving. It felt like home. The food was excellent and the service/staff was warm and welcoming. Now…the food: we tried the turkey gumbo and lobster bisque. Both amazing. The traditional thanksgiving dinner was fantastic as well. We are looking forward to future visits!

The food is always outstanding at the Columbia. I didn’t take pictures, I probably take it for granted because I am a local… So easy to make a reservation with OpenTable! I have to give a huge shout out to my server Shane who was the most personableguy ever! Did a great job with the sangria and salad presentation plus he definitely schooled me on some different menu options! He is awesome and if you get a chance to eat at the Columbia in Saint Augustine do yourself a favor and request him! 

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.

The charcuterie board and the sweet and spicy chicken. Awesome!

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.
