Wow. My wife and I were here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. You might miss it as you walk down the narrow streets of historic St. Augustine. It's small but worth going inside for a nice dinner. You'll forget you are in a tourist area(which is a good thing) The food is exquisite. I had the lobster ravioli. My wife had a snapper that was on special. We both were blown away. We'll be back. read more

Oh-Em-Gee. If you're looking for some of the best food in St. Augustine and are okay with spending good money on good food then you have to dine at Collage! As another reviewer wrote, our service was a bit slow at the beginning, but picked up a little into the service. Okay, now talking about the food....YUM-OH!!!! Had to start off with the crab and wildmushroom cheesecake! It was delightful. For dinner I went with the Grouper which is lightly coated in a parmesan, pecan and brown sugar crust and finished with a light beurre blanc. They had run out of Grouper but I was able to sub Triggerfish which I think I probably liked better anyhow! Ally went with the Chicken Cordon Blue but check out their preparation: Roulade Of Chicken W/ Prosciutto Ham, Spinach & Havarti Cheese Finished With Béarnaise Sauce. Holy cow Batman!! Wine selection was good and some good prices. Bill was $97 before tip which we thought was great for an app, 2 entrees and a bottle of wine. If you think you may like Collage then we'd also recommend Opus 39 - check out our review. read more

Very rarely do I give a 5-star review on the first visit, but Collage delivered. We visited on the 4th of July (our 10th anniversary) and the evening was positively magical. The bread was warm and served with a delicious roasted garlic and basil-infused olive oil. My meal was absolutely fabulous -- a collection of shrimp and two perfect sea scallops nestled in a bed of pasta, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes, all wading in a pool of peach brandy creme sauce. For dessert, the bougainvillea special (named after the mega vine that threatens to consume the entire structure) is stewed strawberries in Cabernet and peppercorns (!!) served with fresh ice cream in phyllo dough bowl. The whole meal was so summery, that fireworks outside paled in comparison to the fireworks in my mouth! To top it off, spectacular service from Kendal (our super server) and Maria, the MOD. Both wished us a happy anniversary and provided that level of personal touch that makes us want to come back again and again. Thank you, Collage, for hosting our special night! We will see you again soon. read more

If you're looking for a quaint, quiet place for a romantic meal with excellent food, you should definitely stop by Collage. First off, I highly recommend you make a reservation, as the limited seating area could leave you hanging for a while. But once you are seated, the menu and service never ceases to impress. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the wine list, and provided a good recommendation from the beer selection. We started with the tenderloin bruschetta. It tasted great, with plenty of meat and tomato garnish on top, but it was served on only two pieces of toast. Which means each piece was piled high, and made it a little tricky to eat. I would prefer if they spread it out amongst 3 or 4 pieces of toast, just to make it more manageable. Our entrees were a juicy beef tenderloin that was expertly cooked to order, and the lobster ravioli. All I can say is WOW. The lobster ravioli was loaded with lobster meat, and served with plenty of shrimp and a tasty cream sauce. The kicker was the wonderful lobster tail placed on top. I wish every fine seafood restaurant would make lobster ravioli like this. Overall, Collage is a great dining experience. The price may be a little on the high end, but you definitely get your money's worth here. read more

Ambiance is beautiful. Fresh bread and roasted garlic was a nice touch. I had a light dinner consisting of a delicious potato soup and warm goat cheese salad. Both were fabulous. My boyfriend had the truffle butter steak with buttermilk mashed potatoes. The steak was juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back. For groups, gratuity is already included in the bill. Make sure to make reservations for a special occasion. read more

The Collage is top notch dining! The concierge at Casa Monica recommended Collage several weeks before our trip and I was able to secure a reservation on a busy weekend. We arrived and were promptly seated at our table. Other reviewers have alluded to the intimacy of dining in close quarters but this was not an issue. Dinner is accompanied by fresh baked bread and roasted garlic with olive oil. Very nice touch. The Goat Cheese and Caesar salads were excellent. For my entree I had the tenderloin with the Collage Signature sauce. Our waitress said the sauce had 18 different spices in it and it was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. We did not have any wine although they have an outstanding wine list. I was told that if you want to bring your own wine, there is a $20 corkage fee. The service, ambiance and food were all excellent and deserving of 5 stars. I will definitely come back next time I am in Saint Augustine. read more

UNBEFRIGGENLIEVABLE Went here for our anniversary and lived up to the hype. A little pricey but worth it. Waiter (Scott) helped us out with a great bottle of wine, appetizer (Buratta) was great, wife had tenderloin with truffle butter and it was really good, wished she'd gone medium (she asked for medium well). I am a red meat dude and as reluctant bout ordering something else on a special day but the lobster ravioli was freakin incredible. The lobster tail was maybe a little over cooked but was easily overlooked in the sauce and with the rest of the dish. Wife barely mentioned, just in passing, our anniversary, and they hooked us up with the butter rum cake which was awesome too (I normally will not even look at rum cakes but this was incredible) You can probably get out of there not spending as much but I don't regret what we dropped cause it was a great experience start to finish. read more

Amazing food, probably one of the best restaurants I've been to. Will be coming back here soon!

The food was wonderful. We had homemade the mozzarella plate for appetizer and shrimp bisque. My husband had lobster ravioli and I had the steak. They were both amazing. The food is worth every penny. We had Scott for our server and he was knowledgable and on point. read more

Collage Restaurant - New American Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

I am catching up on a lot of reviews, and this is one I was sad I didn't take pictures for. You would not believe how good this cozy little French restaurant is! I brought a date and a bottle of wine from The Gifted Cork and we met a couple of my friends for the classic "double date." This was the perfect venue for it! They started with the Escargot (which I am not a fan of), and we started with the Baked Brie (which I most certainly am a fan of). The Brie was fantastic, and a great omen of things to come. The courses were perfectly timed so that nothing was rushed, and our server seemed to be perfectly in sync with the pace of our experience. I had the Lamb Chops, and my date had the Lobster Ravioli. Both were out of this world! We enjoyed it so much that we ended up getting a bottle of Artemis, and savoring every bite. Then came dessert! If the meal wasn't enough, this place is great because it can be cozy for a dinner with friends, or a romantic experience for your special someone. It was as close to a perfect dinner out as you can get, and well worth the very pretty penny spent to make it happen. read more

My second visit to Collage and it just keeps getting better. Hard to get better when they are already one of the best restaurants in St Augustine. Tried the rack of lamb on my maiden voyage which was outstanding. On this last visit I tried the lobster ravioli and it was simply amazing. This is my go to place when I want to splurge or celebrate anything. Staff was very attentive and the service is top shelf. Treat yourself and go to Collage. You won't be disappointed read more

Absolutely amazing dinner from start to finish. Great service, well spaced out meal and incredibly delicious. If you love french cuisine like myself, it is a must try. Very quiet quaint and intimate right in the historic district. Perfect place for a special dinner. read more

I rarely give 5 stars but Collage really blew me away. I had no idea such an amazing restaurant existed in St. Augustine but I'm glad to have found it! I had the truffle cauliflower soup, shrimp appetizer, duck entree, and tiramisu- every single bite was delicious. I can usually pick my most and least favorite courses but everything here was really excellent! The atmosphere and food made me feel like I was in a major metropolitan city, not a tourist town. Service was excellent as well. If you are in St. Augustine for a limited time like most people, put this at the top of your list. We went here on a random night, saving Le Pavillon for our special anniversary dinner based on the reviews. Big mistake! read more

My boyfriend and I at here for the first time for our 6 year Anniversary. AMAZING FOOD! Very pricey, but definitely worth every penny! My biggest problem was with the staff. My boyfriend and I were treated differently from the other customers since walking through the door. I believe this was because he and I didn't look like we were made of money, nor did we look old enough to afford that place. First we were carded, then we were never asked if we were celebrating anything, even though I noted it in the reservation. Our server Victoria even asked the table next to us if they were celebrating anything. I've never been treated like a peasant until the night we at at this restaurant! The food was, once again, incredible. The service was highly upsetting. We felt like towards the end things started to look up, but then we waited for nearly 15 minutes after we finished before being asked if we wanted desert. All in all, food was the real star, but the service left much more to be desired and was inconsistent with the quality one would expect of a restaurant with such a lauded reputation. read more

We have been to many fine restaurants in NYC and also in St. Augustine. Both my husband and I ordered this dish, and let me tell you it was the best fillet mignon and lobster tail with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables we have ever had! The lobster tail was succulent, fillet just melted in your mouth! We also had wonderful desserts. I must say the room was pretty and service was very attentive! Don't miss this gem, and order this dish, you won't be sorry!!! read more

Collage Restaurant - Filetto Magnifico - New American Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

Boy, what a departure from most of the other restaurants in St. Augustine. Wonderful menu with some outstanding seafood dishes, including the Tuna Napolean (sounds odd but a great dish and a fun presentation). Great wine list as well. This restaurant would not be out of place in any major city and to find it here amongst a bunch of tourist oriented restaurants and cafes made it a welcome find. Not cheap but if you're looking for fine dining in a nice setting with crisp service, this is the place. read more

Enjoyed a romantic meal to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, our server was fantastic and friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing. We tried the special, the monkfish, and lobster ravioli both were delicious. read more

Put this on your checklist. Wonderful cozy ambiance. Service was friendly, informative and helpful. The food: filet was tender and cooked to perfection as was the veal. Best mashed potatoes, ever. Sauces were superb. Escargot in a sauce to die for. And a great beet salad. Nice wine list too! Will be back read more

What a wonderful 2nd anniversary treat! We loved it from start to finish. After being seated and placing our order our waitress brought out fresh bread, infused olive oil and roasted garlic. So delicious! We went with the beef tenderloin for our app and it was a great choice. The steak was so flavorful! For entrees I got the black fish and the hubs got the lamb. His lamb was so tender and the taste was amazing. I loved my fish and the crust on top was crunchy and the perfect accompaniment for a light fish. We would definitely return for a special occasion. The service was amazing and the restaurant was intimate and romantic. Thanks for a perfect night! read more

Collage Restaurant - Roasted garlic for the bread. So good - New American Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

This was an amazing experience. The food was fantastic and well priced for the quality that you get. The service was exceptional and we would come back and recommend to all of our friends and family. WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO EAT AND PERFRECT FOR DINNER DATE NIGHT WITH YOUR LOVE read more

Collage is a wonderful restaurant with super excellent food but, I made reservations way ahead of time for two and called to see if I could add just one more person and they said No. When the two people arrived they noticed there were plenty couples sitting at tables that were set for four people!!!! I think it should be known that the person I talked to over the phone did not want to accommodate me at all! I was so disappointed I could not join my out of town guests for dinner!!! read more

We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary last night at Collage.The Collage restaurant was recommended by a work associate. His recommendation was crucial because we had walked by Collage many times when in old town St. Augustine. We probably would not have tried it if not for his suggestion. The food was excellent. I ordered the Filetto Magnifico and my wife had the short ribs. I'm a little bit of a steak snob. I prefer prime beef and always a filet, never a ribeye. The cut is immaterial in this case as Collage only offers one cut and they serve USDA Choice beef. But it was priced right, cooked to my preference and topped with yumminess. Here's the description: Filetto Magnifico ~ Char Grilled 8 Oz. Beef Tenderloin Topped With Truffle Foie Gras Pâté, Half Of A Maine Lobster Tail and Finished With Cabernet Demi-Glace & Sautéed Mushrooms My wife loved the short ribs. The dessert was very good and the service thorough and delightful. read more

I have gone here for the last three years on Christmas Eve night with my family and we have never had a less than perfect experience. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic. The wine selection is on point, and it pairs nicely with the steak and truffle butter that we get every time. The service is attentive and kind. If you're in St. Augustine and want a nice dinner out, this is the place to do so. read more

The food was delicious and service was excellent! A very nice atmosphere and definitely a must have place to eat every time we are in St. Augustine read more

We went here for our Anniversary from the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted by Lisa with a huge smile and a great recommendation on a wine Once we got to our table a different girl named Lisa waited on us she was just as sweet and was very knowledgeable about theme u and made several recommendations on what to try and they were all spot on from the mixed seafood to the tile fish with the best salsa verde I've ever had This place is amazing I would recommend this without hesitation to anyone Thanks for making our Anniversary dinner so delicious read more

This place is one of the top places to eat in the area. It is perfect for celebrating events or just treating yourself to a well made gourmet meal. read more

Came here on a Monday night with two friends. The small, quiet restaurant had a great ambiance and a delicious menu selection. For appetizers, we got the foie gras and the brie for two. The foie gras dishwas very interesting and unique, but the actual quality of the foie gras was quite poor- veins everywhere! The brie was delicious and had a nutty flavor with a perfectly cooked phyllo dough wrapping. As for entrees, my friends got the butternut squash ravioli (not on the menu- the only vegetarian option) and the lobster ravioli while I got the Shrimp and Scallops All Imperiale. The raviolis were delicious. Soft and delicate, both ravioli dishes were very satisfying and very flavorful. My dish of shrimps and scallops were also great. The seafood was cooked perfectly while the cream sauce was light. The pasta was a bit overcooked which was a little bit upsetting. Overall, I would give this place another try.. once I have tried everything else in St. Augustine. Good ambiance, good food! read more

Well, this is sort of an update. Not much has changed. Everything here is consistently excellent. Atmosphere, service & food. Oh, the food! The main thing that keeps us coming back. My filet was, once again, perfectly cooked. Really did not need a steak knife. The Vidalia Onion & Gorgonzola sauce is the perfect accompaniment. Although, the Truffle butter sounds amazing as well. Even their palate cleansers are delish. Their prices have not changed much throughout the years and are appropriate for the quality, taste, service and presentation. By the way, I still miss the pesto butter! :-) read more

Everything was so well prepared. The scallops shrimp and fish were all good quality. But the restaurant is much more than just having fresh ingredients. The chef did something wonderful to each dish, combining it with sauces with complicated flavors. When eaten all together it was wonderful. It was such a treat! read more

Lovely and cozy place...inventive menu, delicious food, great service and fantastic wine list. I had a butternut squash risotto that was out of this world.. DH had the fresh fish.. and loved it. The The Bougainvillea Dessert was a dream ! We'll definitely be back.. read more

The meal I had here was probably one of the best five meals I've ever had in my life. You probably want more details...OK, here goes. The restaurant itself is lovely. We dined in a small room with perhaps five other tables. It was very tastefully decorated and the three of us sat at a round table near the window. Our waiter (Nick?) was at the table in short order with menus and water and was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was nearly perfect. They call it "artful global dining" and that is a fair description of the menu. I had the tuna napoleon appetizer (seared tuna on slaw and a wonton chip with the hottest and tastiest horseradish sauce I've ever had), the lobster ravioli (with a lobster tail and pesto cream sauce and grilled shrimp), and the bougainvillea dessert (strawberries with pepper, a cabernet sauce, vanilla ice cream, in phylo). The tuna and the lobster were fabulous but that dessert...it is not possible to describe how good that dessert was. Honestly, everything about this meal was enjoyable. The restaurant is beautiful. The food was superb. The wine list was intriguing and even the house wines are good choices. The staff were perhaps a little over-attentive (I think four people checked on us throughout our meal) but it is hard to fault people for caring too much about my happiness. I'm rarely this pleased when dining out and I will never forget this meal. All in all, a completely satisfying dining experience and I am really looking forward to my next visit to St. Augustine. read more

Great food, great wine list, great ambiance, great location, great service...seems like everything clicked when we were there. Salmon with toasted almond pesto was really really good...ok, great. Can't even remember what the sides were. Butter rum cake with two scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream to top it all off. read more

We went to Collage last nite and the service was impeccable! Hands down the best meal and dining experience of my life! If you only got out to eat once in your life GO HERE!!!!!! It's that good . We had six courses and can only hope and pray for amnesia.So I can experience this place again for the first time read more

We think this was probably the best meal we have ever had. Atmosphere, service and food were all off the chart wonderful! They have a large wine list, we chose a Banfi Rosso di Montalcino, 'II which was moderately priced but delicious. Our appetizer was a special that night, foie gras followed by their Autumn Harvest which had greens, beats, thinly sliced apples and spiced sugared nuts. The husband had their warm goat cheese salad. Entrees were beef tenderloin with Demi glaze and the braised short ribs. Both accompanied by their purée potatoes and roasted root vegetables. I cannot overstate how wonderful it all was. FYI.....we were lucky to get in on short notice. Open Table showed them booked for the night, but we called after 4:00 pm and they had a slot for us. Enjoy!! read more

Incredible food and excellent service! The restaurant is very charming and located in the heart of Old Town. My husband ordered the duck 3 ways and said it was perfection. We also ordered the Warm Goat Cheese Salad, New Zealand Rack of Lamb, and Mixed Grill of Seafood in a warm tomato broth. All were delicious and made for foodies. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. read more

Collage Restaurant - Steak Tenderloin Medallions - New American Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

Had this booked for my wife 50th - booked table outside - we haven't eaten inside a restaurant since March 2020 and got call from restaurant saying that as Florida allows full capacity indoor dining they have moved all tables inside and operate at 95% capacity - seriously global pandemic and deadliest month so far in US and this restaurant won't honor our table outside - obviously no care for guests or staff - unbelievable and was so looking forward to it - will have to look elsewhere read more

Cut it with a fork. For Carl's birthday we went to Collage for dinner. We have been to Collage numerous time's and have always had a memorable wonderful time. And last night was another wonderful memory. Nick was our server, and a professional is the best way to describe him. Now Carl and I both had Soup of the day "New England Clam Chowder" The clams melted in your mouth. Carl's entree was the Veal Orleans. He loved it! I had the Venison with a poached egg "which was the most perfect poached egg I have ever seen" when I broke the egg it was like a gravy over the venison, which was so tender that I could use my fork to cut it into bite size pieces. I give high praise to the Chief, and all the staff that made Carl's birthday memorable. Thank you for reading my review. Brian read more

Absolutely amazing meal and experience. Top notch setting, service and food quality. We had the Caesar salads which were great. The dressing was light but flavorful and the lettuce was very fresh. For our entrees we had the 8oz beef tenderloin (with Demi glaze) and the lobster ravioli. The beef was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. The lobster ravioli was a little heavy on the basil but overall was satisfying. For dessert we finished it off with a crème brûlée, you really can't go wrong with this dessert but it was also delicious. From the quaint atmosphere to the overall great food. This is one of the best meals you will ever have in St Augustine. read more

With many choices in St Augustine, I was fortunate to pick Collage to celebrate our anniversary with a really nice dinner. The food was outstanding and the service spot on. Sidney was a delight. This restaurant is a must when visiting the ancient city. read more
