My partner and I went here Just Because (and to use a Resy credit from AMEX), and it ended up being one of my favorite recent dining experiences. Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back. read more

We finally got to check out Saint which is a from scratch Italian spot that really focuses on house made ingredients, and it definitely left an impression. We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates! read more

I loved everything about this experience and my food. This is one of the best places to take photos because of the old world style mixed with tropical vibes. The courtyard is stunning! From the roof top you will get a lovely view of the water front and the light house. This is a very hot spot in St A so pls ahead!! Parking will have to be at the parking garage because you will not get parking any closer. I recommend taking an UBER. You need to allow 20 min to walk from the garage. Plan to get to the garage an hour before your rez to make sure you do not run into issues. You can hang out in the courtyard while waiting for your Rez or at the bar. Lingering there and soaking up the vibes will be well worth it. I went with 3 ladies and all of our cocktails and food was great plus the service. We ate on the rooftop. Ambience was great. read more

We only stopped by Saint for cocktails on the rooftop, and honestly...no regrets. The Gabagool (vodka, lemon sorbet, and prosecco) was fantastic! It was bright, refreshing, and way too easy to drink. Are the cocktail prices a little outrageous? Yes. Did we still happily sip every drop? Also yes. The gorgeous ambiance, lovely views of Matanzas Bay, and amazing service made it feel like a splurge that was totally worth it while visiting. Even beyond the rooftop, the restaurant itself is stunning. Multiple indoor and outdoor dining spaces, all beautifully designed with a cohesive, elevated style and you can tell a lot of thought went into the space. We absolutely plan to come back to actually eat and explore more of the restaurant, because if the drinks and atmosphere are any indication, the food is going to be just as impressive. read more

Came here on Saturday for lunch/brunch. The location is beautiful and the views are amazing. It's very gorgeous place inside and outside. It's also very modern and has very unique decor. Service was pretty decent but nothing special. I think most servers are just season workers/college students, so they are not super familiar with many things. Even though we came in during brunch, they offer dinner menu as well, which is great. We had fennel and orange salad, feta dip and seafood bucatini. Feta dip was the worst part of the meal, it was kind of sweet, the chips were super fried, and in general didn't seem like it was as described in the menu. Definitely not a good dish. Salad on the other hand was delicious and seafood bucatini. I would definitely recommend the place but don't get feta dip. read more

This new restaurant gets an A+ for atmosphere. It has multiple levels and dining areas, and the outdoor patio--with string lights and greenery--is a very nice touch. The service was friendly and attentive as well. The shared concern among our group was the value for the money. My Cacio e Pepe portion was quite small for the hefty price tag. Others in my party said they couldn't detect any lobster in the lobster ravioli, and another guest mentioned that their butternut squash dish seemed to be missing the squash altogether. It's not very vegetarian-friendly--the filet received good reviews--but overall, the portions and pricing left us a bit underwhelmed. read more

This is a gorgeous venue, perfect for a special date or that special birthday. The food is good, yes, but the venue is simply amazing. Service was also stellar, and while our waiter Sam, was stuck with our party of 18, he handled it with ease. He guided us through the menu, made suggestions and made us feel like the only guests of the night. It was a chilly night, so Saint had a fire going in their fire pit and the heating lamps stationed around to keep things warm. I have no idea what this spot was before Saint renovated it, but there is not a trace of what it was to be seen. But no mattter how gorgeous this spot is, you want to know about the food: Made Man - a little bitter, 2/5 Ricco - delicious 5/5 Lemon Drop - loved this, 5/6 Lobster Arrantia - not much lobster, spicey finish Zucchini Frites - AMAZING, best app that we had Bread Service - another solid choice, great plating, great assortment, great butters Octopus - ordered, it did not come, so no idea. Meatballs - god bless these were good. Osdo Buco - plating was phenomenal, but the dish had a little too much salt. Filet - well plated, perfectly cooked. Short Ribs w/ Pasta - my dish, it was a really small portion, in fact a table mate had a side of spaghetti that had more food tgan I did. Plus, it just tasted like spaghetti with meat sauce, good - yes, just did not ever taste the short ribs. Chicken Parmesan - oh my, great portion, delicious fish. Lamb Chops - another gorgeous place and it hot rave reviews. Bronzino - we'll done, great dish. Salmon - another solid choice, well plated and tasty, Cheesecake - good dessert, not amazing, but good. This is a special place, enjoy it, take your time and relax. read more

Loved sitting on the balcony in the open air and view of the water. The cheese curds, beef carpaccio and bread service were tasty choices for the group. The whipped feta dip was good but not exactly what we expected but tasty. It was more saucy and soupy for dipping vs more spread like. My lemoncello cheesecake with blueberry compote stole the show. It was perfection with lemon curd like topping. Worth every calorie l. And our server was amazing she worked hard and shared funny tidbits to our conversation that just matched our energy. read more

Date night = Nights of Lights + Saint Perfect end to a wonderful night. We had reservations and were seated right away even though it was a very busy night. The food was all delicious but the bruschetta and caprese salad left a lot to be desired. The bread with the bruschetta was stale and the tomatoes on the caprese were small and flavorless. This was our first time trying the mozzarella curds and we will definitely order them again. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca and it was perfect. My husband ordered the 100 layer lasagna and he said it was below average tonight to the point that he would not order it again. His Caesar salad was amazing as always. The prize definitely went to the dessert. We ordered the pear crostada and it was better than we remembered from previous visits. Service was excellent with frequent drink refills and updates on food status. Overall, we love the ambiance and the different seating options of Saint. read more

Wow. We went to Saint for our 3 year anniversary. I'm so glad we did. We had made a reservation but ended up sitting at the bar since the vibes were great there. We both shared our foods we got the shrimp scampi as our appetizer. Highly recommend getting an extra focaccia we did that and ended up being a perfect appetizer for two and very delicious. For our entrees we did the short rib bolognese and the wood grilled filet. We both loved both but definitely preferred the filet. And for dessert we had the limoncello cheesecake. WHEN I TELL YOU PLEASE GET THE DESSERT!!! Omg it was amazing mouthwatering just thinking about it. It was so good the next day when we were leaving we got two of the desserts to go to take back home. The service was immaculate too. I definitely recommend you trying this place out if you haven't we will definitely be back and hopefully soon! read more

Great service and excellent food! We were able to get a rooftop seat for two outdoors on the balcony, but please make sure you make reservations, especially this time of year in December when the night of lights event is taking place. We ordered two drinks to start, which were delicious. The Caesar salad was crisp and the crispy artichokes were also a great appetizer to start. For entrées, we got the ratatouille on toast and a margarita pizza. read more

Saint - Lamb Gyro - Italian Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I have been looking forward to trying Saint for quite some time, so I left feeling sadly underwhelmed. The setting is stunning. We ended up with perfect weather for outdoor seating, and the patio dining area is truly remarkable. The espresso martinis were among the best I've had in St. Augustine. We started with the beef carpaccio and paired it with the bread service for the table. Both were delicious. Honestly, I wish we had stopped there and gone straight to dessert. Unfortunately, the entrees were the lowest point of the experience. At our waiter's recommendation, I ordered the veal osso buco with risotto and blood orange carrots. The veal was extremely chewy, almost rubbery, and the risotto was noticeably undercooked. It was very disappointing. One of our guests ordered the NY strip and also commented that it was chewy and lacked the quality expected at this price point. The only entrée highlight for our table was the lasagna. Overall, I had very high expectations for this restaurant, and the experience simply fell short. For the price point, we hoped everything would feel exceptional, but overall it was just okay. If we decide to return, it will likely be for drinks and appetizers only. read more

St. Augustine's finest--hands down. I've been visiting St. Augustine regularly for the last eight years ever since I started dating my now-husband, who grew up here. It's been such a joy to watch this charming historic town evolve--with more elevated, modern dining options popping up alongside its preserved old-world character. And Saint is the crown jewel of that evolution, in my opinion (though I do still need to try Collage which is considered the front runner by our family)... Located right in the heart of downtown, overlooking the Matanzas River and Bridge of Lions, the setting couldn't be more perfect. From the moment you step through the grand resort-style entrance (giving Sea Island, GA vibes), you know you're in for something special. Cozy booths, a stylish indoor-outdoor bar, and beautiful design touches throughout make this place feel upscale and inviting. Service was warm, attentive, and consistent--even as the restaurant filled up. Everything was on point, including how accommodating the kitchen was with dietary needs. As someone who's lactose-intolerant & on Whole30 this month, I'm always a little apprehensive at Italian restaurants, but The Saint handled it seamlessly--no fuss, no flavor sacrifice. Appetizer highlights from our group (and local family who are now regulars): * Crispy Zucchini Fritters - Giant, golden, and addictive. The Calabrian aioli they're served with is so good it should be bottled and sold * Filet Carpaccio - Among the best I've ever had. Balanced, not overwhelmed by truffle like many others * Pan-Fried Octopus - Not my favorite. The texture felt a bit off (like it had been dusted in powder), and I would've preferred a grilled or traditionally fried version. The accompaniments--potatoes, sofrito, saffron aioli--were individually fantastic, but the dish felt a little disjointed overall * Fennel & Orange Salad - Light and refreshing. I personally don't like sweetened cranberries, and would have loved a julienned carrot with more citrus & a seed (pumpkin??) to tie together but still loved this dish! For mains, we tried a little of everything: * Osso Buco - The standout dish of the night. Rich, tender, deeply satisfying. We'll be coming back for this * Branzino - Crisp skin, flaky and flavorful. Simple and perfectly executed * Lemon Gnocchi - Bright and pillowy. We added grilled chicken this time (which was great), but would go with shrimp next time * 100-Layer Lasagna - As comforting and soul-satisfying as a dish handmade by someone's Italian nonna Bottom line: The Saint is the best fine dining experience in St. Augustine right now--a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Beautiful setting, thoughtful service, and a kitchen that genuinely cares about the food they're putting out. Already planning our return, and wish we hadn't wasted $ at Asado Life... read more

This was my first time going into Saint, and they did a great job with the location. There is a large outdoor dining area, indoor dining room downstairs, and an upstairs bar with multiple patios to enjoy. We started with the bread service, which was tasty and plenty for 4 people to share. I also shared a Caesar salad to start which was huge, and more than enough for 2 people. For my entree, I got the Wood Grilled Filet which was cooked perfectly and topped with a lobster ravioli. The lobster ravioli was so good that my bf and I both said we wished we got more with the meal! My mom got the Spaghetti and Meatballs which she enjoyed, but wished there was more pasta. Overall, the food was delicious but the entree portions were not huge so definitely get some apps to start! read more

Service seems a bit slow when it comes to food preparation. Our waiter was awesome. The kitchen not so much. Food was good. Recommend the lasagna and if you order bread for the table, it's not free.

We thought the ambiance of the restaurant was darling and cozy. Would probably return for that alone! Our server was very attentive if not a little too energetic, but ultimately seemed very knowledgeable about the menu and was super sweet. Now onto the food! My fiance ordered their bourbon and berries drink (pictured), and we both thought it was very good (even though I don't love bourbon)! We started with the bread service and we thought it was a fantastic amount of bread for the price (we are only two people and this could have easily serviced four). The spreads were delicious and the roasted garlic on the board was a nice touch. If I had one complaint, it would be that I didn't feel any of the breads really complimented the honey. They were all savory whereas I would've liked maybe a whole wheat type of bread to balance the sweetness of the honey. Again though, a very minor observation on an otherwise delicious app. We ordered the chicken parm and salmon for our mains. Wow. The parm practically melted under our forks and was absolutely delicious. A must try! I do wish it had come with a side as it started to become a little one note after a while. The salmon came a tad burnt--my suspicion is that the oil the chef was cooking with was burnt as opposed to him searing the salmon too long. It wasn't a flavor killer though. The risotto and greens were tasty but nothing special. The chicken parm was the star for us. We wished we could've gotten a dessert but we were way too full. Perhaps a tad too pricy for what they were selling and delivering too, I think all the entrees could have had about $5 knocked off the price it would have been a more apt charge. I would highly recommend it to anyone for a nice date night or celebratory dinner. read more

The only reason I'm giving them a 3 star review is their pricing is high for what you get. This is a new restaurant in an area lined with other restaurants. The vibes were nice. Service was good too.

Caesar salad outstanding good, fennel salad ok, all the entrees very tasty! Housemade pasta, tender meats, nice sauces! Even got dessert which had a lovely lemon ice over a pine nut like custard torte? Not my usual dessert choice but I really liked it!

I went to Saint with my family for a simple night out, and we absolutely loved it! I'd been there before at night when they first opened, mainly to enjoy their fireplace, but this time we tried the food....and it did not disappoint. I recently found out I can't handle gluten, and the staff were amazing about it. They were able to tweak a few menu items to make them gluten-free, which I really appreciated. Our waiter was super friendly, and everyone was attentive, even though the restaurant was busy. One thing I especially loved was the outside seating/setup....it's absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to come back and eat here more often! read more

*highly recommend* I cannot say enough about my experience here. Start to finish was flawless, and is a great place for a ladies night or a special date night. Reservations are not required, but if you don't, you may not receive the answer you like at the reception desk. I had a small group of five and were seated promptly at 6:30 PM for their dinner service. Drinks were ordered and came out quickly. I am lactose intolerant to a degree and do not eat beef or pork so sometimes my options are quite limited. I landed on the branzino (fish) as well as shared in the bread service, crispy artichokes, and zucchini fritters. I tried a little of each and every one of them were delicious. My meal came out and was also fantastic. They went through the special effort to prepare a side of white beans that didn't have pork in them for me (thank you chef!). They didn't have any dessert that I can eat other than the lemon sorbet, which by the way was also delish! I usually don't cave to get something so pedestrian at such a nice restaurant, but I wanted to partake in dessert with everyone. If I had any recommendations, it would be for the pastry chef to come up with something (anything) that can be tailored to vegan/GF people. You'd make a lot of them very happy! If you're wondering, make reservations and go! read more

Dining at Saint was a reminder that we are in a tourist mecca where even the locals come in droves to places like Saint to step out of the norm and experience a special evening. I didn't quite experience what I was hoping for my friend's birthday dinner because the crowd of guests and chaotic service was a little overwhelming, and the food was not to par, but again, this is a destination restaurant for many people now and that bustle comes with the territory. Hosts and servers were welcoming and helpful even though harried. Thanks to the crew for nudging us to sit inside instead of being sitting ducks for the oncoming thunderstorm. It was fun watching the bachelorette party scurry in during the downpour. Dinner AND a show. We ordered lovely cocktails that almost warranted the hype. I was expecting a better bar program to kick things off. The Nebbiolo we selected was a nice bottle but it took forever to get it because the wine storage is so disorganized. The savory sweet and hot pepper with sausage was the only app with bread that we figured would be an appropriate size for two. If there are more of you, there are bread and cheese plates that looked great. Caesar salad and pesto salmon were delicious and well prepared, but didn't achieve the level of greatness I was expecting. The venue, not the menu, is the star here. It feels like you are in a theme park that matches the history and culture of our ancient city. Except why Italian and not the ethnic cuisines that match the Spanish, Greek, Menorcan (even French Huguenots or English or escaped West Africans!)? That's would be cool. Like an EPCOT of STA. Maybe the restaurateurs owners could deploy a "River and Fort Mose" in Uptown that would satisfy this itch. Yes the prices are high compared to the product, but don't forget, you are paying for the ambiance and those gigantic chairs fit for a conquistador. St. Augustine is a precursor to Florida's is "Disney", after all. read more

Celebrate with this beautiful restaurant! After reading many reviews, I was concerned that I was going to get mediocre food at high prices. This was not the case, the food was delicious! Granted I was on the bay front with gorgeous views in a beautiful building, I was expecting a little more than average price. A party of three, with no alcohol or appetizers, entrees for each, and bread service averaged about $60.00 per person. The entrees were filling and yummy. I personally had the short rib bolognese. I enjoyed the moist, fork tender pieces of short rib, and the pappardella was cooked to perfection. I was super glad to have left overs. Oh and the limoncello blueberry cheesecake, phenomenal! Our server Anna did an excellent job with all of our needs. The only suggestion would be maybe to offer a 1/2 bread service . We felt we wasted a lot of it. *Make reservations and have you may need cash to park. read more

Definitely make reservations ahead of time if you are trying to come here. Pro tip: upstairs there is a bar with first come, first serve tables, so hopefully you get lucky! We were in St. Augustine for the weekend and wanted to check this place out. We got here a little after 5 on a Saturday and the wait was upwards of 1.5 hrs. We did get lucky upstairs and were able to grab a table for four. I ordered the bourbon and berries drink, while my boyfriend got a tequila mule. For food, we got the chicken saltimbocca and the short rib bolognese. The saltimbocca was good and the portion was huge! I wish the chicken was a tad bit crispier but it was juicy and flavorful. The rosemary was a nice touch. The short rib bolognese was also a nice satisfying meal, especially with colder temps in St. Augustine. It was a flavorful dish and I would recommend both. I'm not sure if the restaurant was just understaffed or too busy, but the service could use improvement. I know they opened recently but they had several people behind the bar and only 1 gal servicing the whole upstairs that I could see. She was friendly but I think just had too many tables on her hands. It took a while to get our table cleaned off and some menus, then same when it came to getting our check. read more
