Restaurants near Crystal Cove Riverfront Resort

Dawn was our server. She was excellent. The scallop appetizer was fabulous. My husband had the shrimp supreme and I had stuffed shrimp. Wow! They were so amazing. Oh and the bread pudding was delicious too! Highly recommend the Columbia!

Amazing dining experience! Food was incredible from start to finish. Onion Tartin and French onion soup were excellent to start off with. The Steak Au Poivre and the Wagyu NY Strip were cooked perfectly to temperature and delicious. We finished the night with the Lavender Crème Brûlée which was creamy and decadent. Amelia was an incredibly attentive and informative server which helped perfect the whole dining experience. Definitely a place not to be missed during your visit to 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.

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!

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.
