We came here with a large party. The servers did a very good job of ensuring everything was right. They brought me coconut shrimp instead of fried shrimp and immediately realized something was wrong. They made certain that the drinks never ran dry and anyone who needed something got it. My only detractor was the breading on the fried shrimp. The outside was crispy and delicious, but the inside was a bit under done which left a less than half perfect texture. The fries really were excellent and the service top notch. read more

December 28th, 2024 7pm ish: After fighting the St. Augustine traffic no-one wanted to go out to eat. I looked up Beaches and they had take out. I tried to call them and place the order but no one answered. Since it was close to where we were staying I decided pick up the food. I got to the restaurant and they were busy, I was told to place an order at the bar. I approached the bartender and asked to place a too go order. I was asked how many orders, I told them 5. This bartender asked another bartender. I told the other bartender that there ad claimed take out service. His response was "If it rang more than twice we are too busy to answer the phone. We also can't do a take out order we are just too busy.". I said I was willing to wait 30 to 45 minutes. Again, he stated just too busy, tickets are backed up, kitchen is trying to keep up." Aunt Kate's is down the street.!! We had gone to Beaches in 2023. Had and a great meal. I tipped the waitress an additional $100 since it was busy and it was holiday time. I think the bartender was lazy and just didn't want my business. This year when I go to St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra we will NOT be go to Beaches but go to Aunt Kate's or Caps. read more

Slim pick'ns in this part of St. Aug for food. This is one of only a few places to eat at Vilano Beach. The vibe is great, if the weather is cooperating. A lot of outside seating, with some inside seating as well. The bar gets busy, but Taylor and another bartender, whose name I didn't get, were keeping up. The drinks were fine. Half of the food that I had wasn't that great. The clam chowder was pretty good. Not the typical white creamy style you would expect in a lot of places. It was thick and had the classic New England clam chowder flavor. I would get it again. For my main meal, I went with the grouper tacos, blackened. Unfortunately, this has a lot to be desired. You get a lot of food. 3 good size tacos. The fish wasn't very flavorful. It was drowned in the sauce they use. The blackening flavor was good. But, again, it was masked with the sauce. This could have been a good meal. Maybe a different fish next time, with sauce on the side. One has multiple sides to choose from. I went with the tots. These were perfectly cooked. Next time, I will go with the gator bites. read more

Stopped in for lunch on 5/31. Food was very good. Service by Taylor was great. Always nice when the staff is enjoying themselves too. We had conch fritters and gator bites for apps. Conch fritters were better than other places we've tried recently and the gators bites were better than most. For entrees, 2 of us had redfish sandwiches, one fried and one grilled. Both were very good and very large filet. Someone else had grilled reddish tacos and it was very good. The 4th of us had a bowl of conch chowder and fried plantains and they couldn't finish but was good. One of the best casual dining experiences we've had in the last month. read more

Beaches at Vilano was the perfect lunch spot. They have a diverse menu - including allergy-friendly picks and #glutenfree wraps. I got the seared tuna wrap with a delicious wasabi aioli. The highlight is a massive deck with a bar and lots of outdoor seating with a view of the pier, bridge, and open water. It's very comfortable with umbrellas and wide chairs. Afterward, don't miss a quick walk down the pier to watch people fish and see lively seabirds. read more

One of the best views around whole enjoying some fresh seafood or a adult beverage. Portions are large and yes they like all restaurants are a bit service challenged but our young servers did their best to take care of our group of 17 with a smile. Those seafood nachos come out and smelled heavenly. I had the fish n chips and had to the half home as it was so plentiful. They offer indoor dining g also but on a day as beautiful as this was Noone was inside but the cooks..lol I will defiantly be coming back again soon.. read more

We decided to stop in for dinner after our boat tour at the Vilano pier. We were quickly seated at an indoor table. They also have plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the water. We had the jerk chicken and fresh catch entrees. The jerk chicken comes with two chicken breasts, carribean rice, broccoli, and fried plantains. The portions are big and very tasty. The fresh catch was either Mahi Mahi or red fish. You can get it fried, blackened, or grilled. It also comes with two sides. We opted for the fried plantains and onion rings. Everything was great. The prices were also very reasonable. read more

Prices were high. Food was decent at best. I suppose you're coming here for atmosphere. Someone was singing weird renditions of popular songs. Overall, it feels like the economy has hit the prices for this restaurant more than most. It just seemed too expensive to be nothing more than just a scenic bar. With nothing really special to offer, there's a limit to the appeal with today's prices. There's definitely better options in the heart of St. Augustine. read more

The ambiance at Beaches was very nice, on a deck overlooking the water. Very good band playing. The bar area was very crowded, only had two bartenders for the entire place so it took a long time to get a drink. Seems to be a very popular restaurant so the wait was about 50 minutes. The wait staff seemed to be a bit overwhelmed. The waitress showed up to take our order after about a 20 minute wait. We were a party of four. We ordered apps and dinner. Everything we ordered had the potential to be tasty but came out cold or luke warm. read more

I absolutely adore a fish taco and coming to St. Augustine meant I HAD TO find some excellent ones. Found them here at Beaches at Vilano!! There's indoor and outdoor seating, and a full bar! The patio is very cute and spacious. The only problem we're the dang birds. Our table got poo'd on right after we were seated. Pretty quickly after that we asked to move inside ! Our waitress was very sweet and happily moved us inside which was still very nice with a beautiful view of the bridge and incoming storm clouds! The Mahi Mahi was fresh and tender, crisp on the outside and the mango salsa was to die for. I also really love slaw, so I added that as a side and really enjoyed it best on the fish! My mom has the cheeseburger and fries and the fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and well cooked inside. I would most definitely go back again! read more

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.

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!

This pub is part of The Collection Inn. The Inn is a great place, located on the edge of the…read moreLincolnville neighborhood and a stones throw from downtown. It's a small, very quaint space with roughly 10 bar seats, and multiple tables. They specialize in cocktails, and have 4 taps serving Florida craft beer. The cocktail list is what will bring me back. Check the website. They look great. Their happy hours seem to vary. When I was there it was 5-7 and 9-11. Most drinks are 50% off during happy hour, which sounds good to me. I had an I-10 when I was there. Service was great. The friendly and helpful bartender was a good man, letting me grab a quick drink even though I wasn't staying there. So, be warned, this is for guests only...except on First Friday Art Walk nights. Then they are fully open to the public. I'll be back on a First Friday, you can count on it.

Found this place on Yelp who said they were open with no mention whatsoever of it being only open…read morefor hotel guests. We even called to ask if they were open because it was hard to find the entrance (on three surrounding blocks) and the person who answered the phone said yes we're open, inside the Collections or Collectors or something like that. No mention of it being private to hotel guests only. So we wandered in from the heat of a 90 degree day to an empty bar with the A/C blasting and one lone employee standing there who politely apologized but refused to sell us a drink as we were not staying at their property (big shrugs all around). Could someone please explain to me what sense it makes to pay a girl to stand alone in an air conditioned bar with no customers and refuse to take our money? We were nice, she was nice. But dear owners/management, you are dumb.
