My husband made a dinner reservation for us here tonight and I am so glad he did because it was excellent. The interior of the restaurant is very bright, colorful and artsy with many pictures of fish artwork on the walls. The music was also a nice addition. The menu offers plenty of good sounding appetizers and entrees. I opted for the seafood and grits dish. It had scallops and shrimp over parmesan polenta, along with various vegetables. It was a very tasty dish. My husband had the surf and turf fried rice. It looked and tasted great. My mother in law had the hastings chicken dish. She also loved her meal. We all shared the delicious peach cobbler for dessert. Service was friendly and professional from our server, Feliza.

St Augustine seems to have so many amazing restaurants, and BlackFly is no exception. We stopped by on a popular Saturday night, and we were quickly seated - I do recommend reservations online which made things easier. Our server Feliza had a great energy, quickly brought drinks, and made recommendations for entrees. I had the surf and turf fried rice which was indescribable in terms of how tasty it was. All of the items arrived fresh and very creatively prepared. We even enjoyed a peach cobbler ala mode for dessert. Pricing all-in ran about $60 per person, a great value considering the wonderful environment, excellent service, and amazing tasting food. While the building is nothing to speak of from the outside, once inside it's a beautiful setting to enjoy a meal, or sit at the bar. The bar area is off to the right, while the dining room is to the left, a nice touch to keep the volume in the dining room at a level to enjoy conversation. Overall, this was one of my favorite meals in the St Augustine area - we will be back.

Friday night 3/20/2025 Despite being busy we were able to grab a last minute reservation online, upon arrival we were promptly seated Party of 7. Server greeted us and did mention that there would be an automatic gratuity added since we were a "larger party" didn't say what the percentage was. Overall, he was personable and did a nice job. I'll just discuss the food that my wife and I had. Me a spicy Bloodmary with Tito's (not spicy and didn't taste the vodka).... Wife ordered the Citrus Basil Tini, really liked it. I also had an All American Beer which was good. We had the bread service with pesto and sun dried tomato butter. Which was excellent. My wife had the Shrimp and Scallop Udon Noodles, she said it was very good. I had the Surf and Turf Fried Rice, really salty, steak tips were perfectly cooked but the shrimp was way over cooked. Also a small portion compared the other meals at the table. When the bill came I noticed we had been doubled tipped on my check 50%, I mentioned it to server, he apologized for the mistake and changed it to 25%.... I generally tip 20-30% based on the service, but I think it's a bit bold of a restaurant to add a 25% automatic gratuity. I'm sure the staff like's it. Overall we were there for 2 hours, fortunately we were with good friends as the drinks, appetizers and food came out rather slowly.

Pumpernickel Spritz and BlackFly Saturn
Bonnie Z.

We loved this place! Early dinner for us. Not too crowded and not too loud. We started with drinks from the bar. Black Fly Saturn and Pumpernickel Spritz. Both were very good. Calamari was the appetizer. My husband is somewhat of a connoisseur of calamari and rated this at the top of his list. Main courses were Furikake crusted ahi tuna with pickled vegetables and rice with a fantastic sauce. Husband had Fried rice surf and turf. Everything was cooked to perfection and super flavorful! Our server Stephanie was excellent, offering suggestions and checking back appropriately. We will be back!

Tikis Punch

I came to the restaurant for a cocktail hour during a wedding and the service was really great. The leadership and staff provided us were great and the private room was excellent for the occasion with plenty of space! I think the drinks were really good too and reasonably priced. I was able to try the fried rice, and I would say it's a 4/5 and the conch chowder a 3/5. The tikis punch was a 5/5! Make sure you don't arrive during peak hours or take ride share because parking is limited.

Special menu

One of the best restaurant I've been in St. Augustine. This place was recommended by my in-laws since they mentioned this place has great seafood dishes and indeed they are correct. Inside looks decorative with fly fishing decorations and different kind of fish display which helped kept my son distracted. We scheduled a reservation since we heard this place will be busy on Friday night. Service was great, our server was descriptive and polite. For drink, got to tried their Silver Eclipse, from the drink special menu, which was tequila with raspberry liqueur and blackberry purée. For food, we started with the Bahamian conch soup followed with the Brazilian Moqueca. The conch soup was tasty and fresh and the Brazilian Moqueca was one of the best coconut fish dish I've ever tried. Overall, this was an amazing restaurant to go for dinner around Anastasia island and will definitely come back to try their other dishes also.

This place was so loud, it hurt my ears. It was really hard to talk or hear anything my friends were saying. Food was pretty good and our server was on top of things.

Atmosphere is pretty casual but the food is so unexpectedly amazing! I'm a local and surprised I only just now gave Blackfly a try. Everything was fresh, delicious and seemed like it was made from clean, quality ingredients. If you're a drinker, the bar will not disappoint. A nice spot for a date night or a girls night! Our waiter was very attentive and the entire staff was warm and friendly.

Pork chop with Mashed potatoes
Kathy L.

Delicious food and drinks! Atmosphere somehow didn't fit the menu, as it is super casual with a beach bar type of feel to it. Yep, upscale food & pricing but not the ambiance to match. We started off with cocktails including a Peach Lychee Martini & a Prickly Pear Martini. Both were wonderful. We then enjoyed cups of conch chowder which was thick & spicy, so very good! The conch fritters were also delicious! Main courses were the scallops with angel hair pasta, the pork chops, and the lobster tails. Again, great stuff and everything was cooked perfectly. There was a long delay on our main courses for some reason. However our server was upset about it also and offered us free desserts to compensate. We all shared the crime brûlée of the day which was coconut lime, and also the banana bread pudding. Both were amazing!

See all

Came on a Saturday, around 6pm wasn't full at all. We ordered a few slices of different pizzas,…read moresome bread rolls. Pizza was soft but greasy, bread rolls were ok a bit too thick for me. I was bummed with the drink selection the fountain machine was broken (not a problem for me because I don't drink soda) , but the fridge only had canned sodas, a loaded sugary sparkling soda with aspartane, and an artificially flavored tea. I can't remember seeing water. Staff were nice, inside was clean.

We were vacationing in Saint Augustine and we were craving pizza where we can order out fast . When…read morewe were driving, I scanned through their online menu and decided to do 2 slices of grandma's pizza, garlic knots, and 2 slices of cheese pizza. My husband ordered some meat slices as well. When he arrived around 12:15 pm on a Thursday to make the order, the lady at the register stated they are out of garlic knots for the day and that they have to make grandma's pizza as there were no slices available for purchase. This was disappointing as we wanted something where we didn't have to wait for long. The wait time was about 20 minutes. My husband noticed couple of customers who entered the restaurant but then abruptly leave since they didn't want to wait for the pizza to be made. Now onto the pizza, overall I enjoyed the grandma's pizza. I thought it was flavorful and the tomato sauce on it was delicious. The cheese pizza was pretty good too. The slices are big and filling. Overall, if you happen to be in the Flagler college area, give this place a try.

Its one of my top pizzas around and one of my wife and i places to eat in St. Augustine…read more It's an only cash pizza place, make sure you have it if not, there is an atm right there. It's not a super big pizza shop, but it has some good seating. Most of the time there is a line out the door. The window is a beautiful thing to look at, you see all the pizza making and all of the types of pizza flavors they have. The slices are pretty large each one is about $9-$10 a slice, and let me tell you its completely worth it. Our favorite is the Genova, which is a white pizza with chicken, ricotta, and herbs. Also the chicken parm is delicious and the garlic knots are to die for; they are hot, soft, and definitely have garlic. Drinks are separate. They have calzones, salads, potato balls and large pizza orders. Its a good place to have lunch or a quick slice. It is definitely filling but worth it, it requires a nap after back at the hotel lol.

Let me start by saying we came here thinking pizza slices were still somewhat inexpensive compared…read moreto other places to eat for a quick dinner. So, with that said, it's safe to say we were naive. Typically, we understand that any tourist spot you go to, the prices will be higher than some other spots that are less touristy. However, he we were still expecting cheaper slices of pizza. I mean they're slices and I can buy whole delivery pizzas for the same price they're charging per slice here. Now granted, their prices are also very much within eyesight as soon as you walk in. So, it shouldn't have been such a surprise, but we just ordered what we wanted and thought it wouldn't be that bad. Then, we realized they didn't take credit or debit cards until we got to the register. It was CASH ONLY. 4 slices of pizza, 2 water bottles and a small cup of pepperocinis came out to $53. My husband and I put our cash together to pay for the tab. Yeah, it makes sense to some people for it to be that pricey, but we just didn't expect slices to be that much money. The pizza was good. It's wasn't super cheesy, but the marinara pizza sauce was tasty and not overly loaded on the pie. Honestly, I was hoping the cheese and sauce would've been more fused together in pure delicious harmony, but it was like they heated up old pizza slices in the oven that had been sitting out for a long time. To me, the pizza didn't taste like an authentic NY pizza, but it was still pretty good. The service was decent. You could tell it was the end of the shift for their employees, based on their tired faces and lack of smiling enthusiasm. I guess I had big hopes for this place and it just wasn't what we were expecting out of that whole experience.

We enjoyed the House Salad, Fried Ravioli, Chicken Piccata, and Limoncello Cake. Service was slow, but it was Christmas evening, which is understandable. We appreciate the staff for working on the holiday. Note that a 20% service charge is automatically added (even for small parties), so we did not leave an additional tip. Other than that, no negative

If you love great Italian food, do yourself a favor and keep driving -- preferably fast…read more Nonna's appears to specialize in "Italian-inspired disappointment." The cooked penne was sitting on the counter uncovered, just vibing at room temperature like it had officially given up. The sauce? Scooped from a container and reheated with all the passion of a microwave at 2 a.m. The complimentary bread arrived looking hopeful... until we realized it was a square dinner roll slathered in what tasted like imitation garlic and oil -- less Italian trattoria and more middle school cafeteria meets olive oil cosplay. The Chicken Marsala arrived undefeated in battle against any form of tenderizing. This chicken was not pounded thin -- it clearly lifts weights. I needed a steak knife, determination, and possibly a waiver to cut through it. We shared one entrée and a bottle of wine that tasted like grapes filed a formal complaint, and somehow the bill still hit $65. I checked twice to make sure we hadn't accidentally invested in the business. And just when you think the experience is complete, surprise! There's a debit card fee. Don't worry though -- the owner's son (also waiter, host, busboy, and possibly assistant regional manager) will loudly explain it from across the restaurant so the entire dining room can stay informed.
