• Seafood • St. Augustine
Booked 27 times today
The Reef, originally called Comptons, was built by the Usina family on a beautiful piece of oceanfront property, owned by the family for generations, located on tranquil North Beach, three miles north of the Usina Bridge. Comptons opened in 1989 and enjoyed great success for the next ten years. It closed in 1999 due to the ill health of Mr. Compton and hurricane damage. There are few remaining true Oceanfront restaurants in Northeast Florida, and of those, The Reef, commands the most spectacular views. Sit at any table inside and the view is dynamic to say the least, or enjoy the recently rebuilt and expanded deck where you not only look out at The Ocean, you listen to it too as the waves break and the birds cry. To complement this vista Chef Denzel Aponte' has created a menu primarily of fish and seafood balanced with beef, poultry pasta and creative specials, always fresh and sourced locally whenever possible.

    The change in ownership of this previously excellent restaurant has resulted in the very best eating establishment in all of St Augustine! Having lived five years in France, I can say La Nouvelle serves up the highest quality and genuinely authentic French food! Everything about our dining experience was way beyond our already high expectations! If you haven’t eaten there yet, you are missing a dining extravaganza par excellence!

    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.

    Overall, the food and chef's creations were excellent, truly fine dining. Service was excellent - well informed on the menu, had opinions on wine selection and were attentive during the evening. Definitely recommend. One detail - For dining at this level and expense - would think they would have a full liquor license.
