We had the spinach artichoke dip. My husband had the filet with lobster tail. I had the Wagyu ribeye. I suggest the mashed potatoes! So delicious.

If you go in with that mindset, don't arrive starving and take in the beauty of the Ocean, you'll have a nice night. The complimentary bread is delicious! We both ordered dinner salads, Roasted Beet and Tuna Poke. The salads were fine, nothing special. For the price, I expected a larger salad portion. As I stated, this restaurant is all about the location. There is a large free parking lot and another overflow lot across the street for each access to the restaurant.

We had a really good time here…read more The food is really fresh, the portions are great and our service was on point. One thing about me is I'm a sucker for octopus and I ended up getting the appetizer and the pasta with octopus and both were great but that appetizer stole the show. Also for an app we got the shrimp and pork egg rolls and their sweet chili sauce was amazing. My husband got the pork chop and we also got the pineapple upside down cake the the yuzu cheesecake that we forgot to take pictures of. We had no complaints about any aspect of our meal and we will definitely make our way back again.

We had fun eating at Schooners this time. Half of the fun was from our server, Jojo who made…read moresuggestions on the menu and said to trust her, because "Fat girls love food". I did not think she was fat, but she was so funny and engaging. Here is my take on the food: Ranch - homemade and delicious, ask for some on the side no matter what you get. Blue Cheese - not homemade, but decent. Tarter - they do it right. Roumelaud - I like their roumelaud. Salad - fresh, tasty but fairly plain. New England Clam Chowder - award winning and it is pretty terrific, Onion Rings - large, crispy Black Eyed Peas - just not my think, they were too soft. Broccoli Casserole - always good, do good that sometimes they sell out. But this time, it was awful, not edible so it got sent back. Cheese Grits - cheesy and gritty Hush Puppy - sweet finish, delightful. Fried Oysters - nice and crispy. Fried Shrimp - I think this is the way to go, they do such a good job of lightly frying the shrimp, and the coating is subtle so give it a try.

Exceptional Service, Fresh Seafood, and a Perfect Waterfront Atmosphere…read more My wife and I had one of the best dining experiences we've ever had at The Boathouse in St Augustine. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the water, and the atmosphere alone was worth the visit. To make it even better, a sweet, friendly kitty joined us and rested at our feet while we ate. She was gentle, lovable, and happy to let us pet her, a perfect little addition to an already beautiful afternoon. From the moment we arrived, the staff was outstanding. The hostess seated us immediately, and our server, Tom, was exceptional. He kept our drinks full, checked in just enough without ever interrupting, and always kept an eye on our table as he walked by. His attention to detail was impressive. I ordered the stuffed grouper, and it was phenomenal! Clearly fresh, perfectly seasoned, white and flaky, with a decadent crab stuffing that set the dish apart. My wife had the shrimp skewer salad and loved every bite. The shrimp were fresh, tender, and prepared perfectly. During our meal, I mentioned to Tom that shrimp and grits is my traditional go‑to dish. Even though I didn't order it, Tom surprised us with a complimentary serving of shrimp and grits from Chef Mike! Let me tell you, it was easily the most unique and delicious shrimp and grits I've ever had. The dish included onions and a layer of perfectly seasoned collard greens beneath creamy, balanced grits and fresh, succulent shrimp. We added it to our meal and finished every bite. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another thing, Tom asked if we saved room for dessert. We hadn't; but when he told us about their locally made key lime pie, we had to try it. It was incredible: perfectly tart, perfectly sweet, the crust was amazing and the ideal size for two people to share. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. I strongly recommend The Boathouse; try the stuffed grouper, the shrimp and grits, or the shrimp skewer salad if you want something lighter. And whatever you do, save room for the best key lime pie you'll find anywhere in Florida.

I was visiting from out of town and was craving seafood. I'm so glad I chose this spot because it…read morewas perfect! The weather was beautiful so my daughter and I sat outside. There was a live band playing cover songs and that was super fun listening to. There is a big fire pit in the middle, and the outdoor area is spacious. I ordered the seafood boil to share with my 5 yr old daughter and we both loved it! Service was great, no complaints at all. I had one drink , the linen drink which was gin based- it was delicious. Great spot, would love to go here again and bring my husband next time we are in town!

It's very different than the original location! Super cute and classy here! Don't worry about being over dressed for your st Augustine shopping day, you'll fit in with the beautiful designs! The service was really good and really quick! The waitress was very attentive! I did make a reservation ahead of time but there were plenty of tables! People just haven't heard the word of this gem yet! Maybe book to be safe! The menu is big--five pages of drinks, about ten sandwich options(maybe a few more or less- I didn't count)a couple of apps, and a handful of salads. You can also order coffee at your table! Honestly, the menu is a little too large... too many options but I know some may love that! I just can't ever decide. I went with the Raspberry Pecan Salad (added grilled shrimp) and a side of fries, plus the sangria. The glass was so pretty! The sangria itself was strong, though it did get watered down quickly with all the ice. The salad, was excellent--plenty of shrimp and great flavor. The fries were perfect- crispy, salty, perfect. My friend also enjoyed the bang bang shrimp salad! She said the vanilla latte was also great! They did offer oatmilk as well! We didn't inquire about almond! And something I really appreciated--they don't call themselves a French restaurant, but a French-inspired café and bakery. That's exactly what it is! I can't wait to go back !

WARNING: Prices advertised are different than what they charge you!!!…read more Hosts graciously accommodated a party of 11 without a reservation, however we were sat at a table for 10. The Pesca Punch cocktail comes in a cute puffer fish cup but is premade so no substitutes can be made such as a juice removed for an allergy. Not sure if all cocktails are premade. The Yucca Croquettes were good but 5 of them were $10 which is not worth it. The sides offered are tater tot's served with peri peri sauce and French fries. I asked if I could get the peri peri sauce with the fries they said yes but did not mention it was cost over a dollar. At the end of the day the views are nice, food is good but charging average of 30¢ more for each item than advertised with additional tax does not sit well with me.
