We will be visiting St Augustine the first weekend in June. Any restaurant recommendations? What we like - smallish places, we don't want to dress up too much, entrees between $15 and $20. We'd like to know whether we'd need to reserve a table in advance. Thanks.

April 2001.

Excellent service & food. No reservations. Put name on wait list when you arrive -- enjoy drink on deck looking out over marsh area. Linen cloths, etc. but atmosphere is more casual than dressy -- certainly no Jacket & Tie (but we wear Dockers not jeans on vacation).

There was another "special" place on beach road headed north from Jacksonville area but I can't think of its name. May be able to locate it in my photo/scrapbook for you. It was more "local" and very casual but food was excellent & different.

Thanks MHS, that will take care of one night!!

Any more suggestions, anyone?

The Conch House. It has a great setting: right on the water (literally). It's sorta tucked away and hard to find. Go across the beach (towards the beach) than you zig zag through a residential neighborhood. Ask for directions. And prepare to wait if you're going on a weekend night. It's very popular. But the food and atmosphere is worth it. If you drink, they have a nice bar adjacent to the restaurant. Have fun.

I meant go across the BRIDGE (not the beach). Jeeze - it's toooo early to be typing.

A unususal place in Crescent Beach about 8 miles sout of saint augustine, it looks like a dive but the food is great, it's a mom an pop place they kid around, and even do some magic I think the have a webpage but it was a nice experience. The Treasure Ship

I enjoy St Augustine. Try O'Steen's 205 Anastasia Blvd for seafood.
My father liked the Gypsy Cab Co.
828 Anastasia Blvd. for regular eating.
I know O'Steen's gets crowded but is informal.

Cortez Bistro. Reserve outside table.
