    What a wonderful experience! Our waitress, June, was SPECTACULAR! My parents hadn’t been to St. Augustine in years, and they had never experienced Columbia Restaurant. It is absolutely an experience!! Wonderful ambiance, excellent food, and nice people all the way around! I loved the decorations for the holidays as well as it was the first weekend of Light Up The Night! Thank you for a wonderful memory! We will be back for sure!

    La Novella was a perfect restaurant to take our friends to celebrate their marriage. The kind hostess set us at an outside table by a heater because it was a cool fall afternoon. Once seated, the attentive waitress took our orders and gave good explanations of various menu options. The food was fantastic and we topped it off with a white chocolate dessert that was the exact replica of an orange filled with a yummy filling. We will visit the restaurant again for celebratory events.

    The menu was filled with fun and delicious holiday cocktails. My wife and I enjoyed two specialty cocktails and both were delicious. Don’t forget the delicious food. We stopped in for a late lunch and chose a few appetizers for our meal. We shared the charcuterie board and the baked Brie, bother was amazing. The atmosphere was fun and festive for the Chrismas season. The decor was beautiful and very well done.

    Fine dining has grown exponentially in St Augustine and this fabulous location in the Casa Monica has had a few hits and misses. Cordova is a hit! We’ve dine here a few times but tonight was exceptional. Our server, Martin, is wonderful, he knows the menu and was spot on with every suggestion. Lobster roll appetizer and She crab bisque are phenomenal. The steaks, filet tonight, melts in your mouth. The signature pork chop was amazing. Finished with cinnamon bread pudding. What a treat! Oh, and the convenience of valet parking. Highly recommend!!
