Restaurants near Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine

We went here for the Miracle Pop-up Bar, one of our annual traditions. The festive drinks are always super fun and delicious, and their food menu is great as ever. Both my husband and I had a couple of their vegan options which were delicious, and the other two with us had the mussels and the chicken sandwich. Portion sizes were so much bigger than I remembered! It’s always busy, especially during the Christmas season so reservations are an absolute must. Fun little perk: they gave us special Miracle beanies as a thank you for making a reservation!

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner at the Columbia. Our waitress was excellent, even though she was very busy she made sure to check on us frequently and attend to all of our needs. I don’t remember her name but it was her birthday on Thanksgiving. The restaurant was decorated beautifully as always at this time of the year. We had a great table in the enclosed patio. It was pretty noisy but that is expected with all the large groups and just adds to the holiday atmosphere! We come here often as we live here and are never disappointed!

We had such a lovely evening at Michael’s! The service was wonderful and dinner was outstanding. We started with an appetizer—a tostone shell filled with beef tips, tomatoes and peppers! Wow—so glad we ordered it. My husband and I split the wet aged filet and my daughter had the flat iron steak! Everything was fabulous! We can’t wait for Michael Lugo to relocate this incredible restaurant to the Hyatt at Vilano!

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.

Old City House is my favorite restaurant in all of St Augustine. It has that perfect old world ambience. The courtyard is quaint and romantic. The food is absolutely delicious and lavishly decorated. This restaurant also makes the best margarita in town! The wait staff is top shelf. I can’t wait to go back very soon. I highly recommend this hidden gem of our beloved St Augustine 💜
