Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in St. Augustine

Raintree is one of our favorite restaurants in St. A. We made reservations and the table was ready right on time. Laszlo did an excellent job of caring for us during the meal. Very friendly and efficient. Debbie had the Baked Salmon and I had the Mahi Picatta. Both meals were excellent in taste and quantity. Raintree adds a 15% tip / gratuity to all meals. You are informed of that upfront. It's also on the menu and on the check. We have been there several times now and they have never disappointed.

The experience was very romantic I loved the server she had amazing energy, as for the food it was alright but everything else was an amazing experience.

We sat outside and it was a lovely evening. The gnats were out, but there’s not much to be done about that. The ambience and view were fabulous. It was quiet and very pleasant. Our servers were attentive and polite. The food was excellent. We shared the chorizo Del Mar and a datil oyster special that were both exceptional. I had the beef cheeks which were delicious as were the accompaniments. It was a little rich for my wife’s taste, but it was delicious. She had the Trio, which was picanha, delicious ember chicken thigh and house made Malbec chorizo. She enjoyed it very much. A great experience. It is not inexpensive but there is plenty of value in the quality of the dining experience!

We were disappointed when we found that the St. Aug Beach location was closed, so were thrilled to hear that this restaurant had re-located from St. Aug Beach to the Sabastian Winery building. Many great meals in the past. They are warming into the new space which is nice and will only get better. The food is terrific! Don't miss the Escargot and any of the entrees will not be a miss! We ordered the Gambas & the Short Ribs. The Shrimp was served over pureed cauliflower & some veggies & a bit of Chimichurri around the edges, which was a delightful surprise and so much lighter than mashed potatoes, so the taste of the blacked Red Shrimp could come through. The Short Ribs were crazy good as well. Tender and delicious! The portions are significant for all items ordered and the value is very good. Our server George was a pro. Attentive and not overbearing. A great night and a great meal! We'll be back! Thank you.

This restaurant always delivers a first class experience all around.
