This restaurant deserves its reputation. Truly an unbelievable dining experience. We ordered the tartare, duo di manzo, and duck, as well as a cabernet from the extensive wine list. The food was exquisite and the service matched. It was very expensive, but very worth it. I will come here again any time I'm in St Augustine. read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant in Saint Augustine. However when we went there the waitress was extraordinarily unfriendly when she found out we wanted to split an entrée. However the back waitress, Sydney was super friendly and exceptionally helpful we loved her. The management never came over to ask us how we were enjoying the evening and bypassed us for every other table. When I went to pay we were used to paying with American Express and there was no indication that they didn't take American Express any longer so when we left in an American Express gift card they ran out of the restaurant exclaiming that we couldn't use that any longer. We were severely disappointed in the service the food was OK but it seems the kitchen has changed and it just isn't what it once was. read more

A most decadent, delicious date! My husband, Joe and I celebrated our anniversary at Collage this past weekend. From start to finish the meal was impeccable, and not just in the flavors, but in the plating, the pacing and presentation, and the attentive but not overbearing waitstaff (especially Scott who was super kind, knowledgeable and courtly!). We blissfully nibbled our way through the housemade bread with roasted garlic, the melty, unctuous tenderloin tartare with truffle chips, rich spicy lamb sausage stew, (soup du jour), nut crusted goat cheese salad, mouthwatering catch of the day, and a succulent lamb rack. Every bite was terrific and the wines available were excellent for pairing. We felt decadent, like young lovers again, especially when they presented us with anniversary dessert on the house. We highly recommend this exceptional dining locale for anyone, particularly for special occasions. It will be better for adults than children given the intimate proportions of the room, and you're going to want to make a reservation. We will surely return when we find ourselves in town again!

Literally the best lobster ravioli I have had in my life. I wish I had a picture to attach, but I devoured it so quickly that there's nothing I can show you- you're going to have to trust me on this one. Just do it. Best thing ever. Service was great, other food was great (we got the escargot and beef tenderloin bruschetta apps- both delicious and would highly recommend- as well as a chocolate mousse dessert they was melt in your mouth delicious). But again, seriously, just go bathe yourself in the lobster ravioli. Holy sh*t ya'll. It's that good. read more

This is definitely my favorite restaurant I've ever eaten at. Every time I come here I always get the filet mignon with truffle butter sauce. The steaks always come with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables (veggies depend on the season). I am always greatly satisfied with every visit!! read more

This is my favorite all -time restaurant. We ate here twice the last time in St. Augustine over 2 years ago. Loved it so much, that we made reservations for this trip. I was worried that it wouldn't be as fabulous as I remembered, but it was amazing! The salad special with peaches, balsamic, goat cheese, and proscuitto was unusual and delicious. Loved the mushroom/miso soup which sounds weird, but is my favorite all- time soup. The beef tartare was incredible - better than restaurant 21 in New York. My grouper entree crusted with brown sugar and nuts melted in the mouth. My husband had veal Orleans that he raved about. Dessert was equally delicious . We had the strawberry and ice cream in phyllo. I cannot say enough about the quality of this restaurant. Best meal I have had in years! We would drive 6 hours to St. Augustine just to eat at Collage!! read more

Update. Have visited several times. If I could give you ten stars I would. Thank you for being magnificently consistent!!!

Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Collage. Our server was so kind and helpful with suggestions. The beef tenderloin bruschetta was one of the tastiest appetizers I've ever had. My husband had the lamb and I had the lobster ravioli. Both were amazing. We had other plans scheduled, so we couldn't stay for dessert. Next time we'll be sure to plan for it. The only slight downside was a lack of view, but the ambience was lovely inside. read more

Collage Restaurant - Shrimp and scallops linguini - New American Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

This is an amazing place to eat! The people are wonderful & the atmosphere is very nice. Each of our entrees was delicious and distinctive. We had the seafood trinity and every part of that was incredible. The Mediterranean lamb and lamb sausage was tremendous. Beef medallions were cooked perfectly with the risotto was great. We even had a fantastic lobster ravioli. The desserts were good especially the creme brûlée! read more

This is one of the best places I have visited in a very long time. The services is amazing and the food excellent. from the time we arrived, to the time we left, we were made to feel as if at home. I had the sweet corn soup and the sirloin, both dishes were excellently made and served to my satisfaction...and then some! read more

Great upscale restaurant for excellent food in the heart of the old town in St. A. We have never been disappointed in the many times we have had dinner at Collage! read more

Location: The restaurant is located in the downtown historic district of St. Augustine, a short walk away from most major hotels, attractions, and parking locations. From the outside it is not very noticeable with only 1 small hanging sign with the logo, and a box displaying a sample menu by the front door. The limited views through the front entrance way (a sort of veranda/patio area) and front windows do offer a glimpse of the interior. Meal Type: Dinner Dishes Ordered: We started with the Tenderloin Bruschetta, for the main dish I had the New Zealand Lamb Duo, I ordered a bottle of Chateu St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon (I don't remember the vintage), for desert I ordered the Bougainvillea, a dish with icecream, strawberries, and pastry. Ratings: 1-10 Food & Beverage Quality: 9. The food was absolutely fantastic. The table bread was warm and perfectly baked. The appetizer was perfectly portioned for two and had a good ratio of meat to bruschetta. The entre was definitely the best part of the meal. The lamb "lollipops" were so tender and excellently seasoned with simple, carefully chosen herbs and spices. The pasta with mushrooms and lamb sausage complemented the lamb itself, and the cheese/wine reduction sauce really tied the entire dish together. I never noticed there was no salt or pepper on the table until all the dishes were cleared. The desert was phenomenal as well, warm strawberries in a sort of glaze, paired with a delicate pastry and rich vanilla bourbon ice-cream. The wine was on the lower of the price list and wasn't the best cab. sav. I've had for that price, but went with the dish very well (as recommended by the waitress), and stood up strong on its own after the meal was over. The sparkling water I requested was Pelegrino brand, so hard to go wrong there. I also requested lemon to go with the water and was brought a dish with both a lemon and lime wedge wish I appreciated because I found I prefer a lime wedge. Food & Beverage Quantity: 10. I would have wanted no more or less of everything brought to me. From the table bread to the desert, we ate every bite, but were totally satiated. My water was refilled as often as I would have like. Of course, I could always use more wine, but a bottle is a bottle. Value For the Dollar: 7.5. This may be skewed by my lack of experience with finer dining, but I felt that is was just slightly over priced. I had never paid this much for a meal or a bottle of wine and was therefore expecting a bit more out of the entire experience. It is not so expensive as to prohibit me from returning however, and I do understand the unique situation that is St. Augustine. Service: 8.5. Arrival and seating went smoothly. The hostess quickly found our reservation and escorted us to our table in the back corner. The table service was excellent, though as a person who prefers wait staff to be "seen and not heard" I though the staff could be a little chatty (though I was in the unique position of dining with a friend of our waitress). Other than that, I had no complaints. The service itself was done professionally and elegantly. I greatly enjoyed the wine presentation experience as that is something I had never had before. Overall the service is what I had expected from a "fine dining" restaurant, though I always find myself looking for just a little more professionalism or polish. Décor: 7. This is strictly personal taste, but I just wasn't a huge fan of the general décor. It is very quaint and romantic, mostly reds and browns, contrasted with white table linens, and does look very nice. I just prefer a more sleek, modern style. The lighting is soft, great for romantic evenings or an anniversary celebration, and the tables and chairs are elegant and comfortable. Most would probably rate the décor a few points higher than me. Overall: This was arguably the best dining experience I have ever had. From first impressions, to walking out of the door, everything was nearly perfect. The food is top notch in terms of both freshness and taste. The service and ambiance are expertly executed. The only things I would change are (and this restaurant does so well for itself that these are obviously unnecessary) the logo and outdoor signage, the wall color, and the lighting (again, all personal preference). As far as complaints or dislikes they are minimal to nonexistent. read more

We had our anniversary dinner with them. Absolutely delightful staff. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Will go back.

Went for my father's birthday. Everyone said their food was fine; just fine. My steak was burnt, the mashed potatoes tasted out of a box. The vegetables tasted from Publix frozen. Even if they were fresh it all tasted meh. They gave him a pound cake for a birthday treat and I could have sworn it was from Sara Lee. There are so many good resteraunts in town, please take your money someplace else. read more

Exquisite. Excellent service and the food was perfectly prepared. Great for an anniversary dinner. We had the Filetto Magnfico and it was!

Wife & I discovered this gem a year ago and have made the 45 minut drive from Ormond Beach 4 times since. We absolutely LOVE this place! Food & service always 5 star! Nonetheless, we did notice the smaller portions on our last visit 7/18/21 (wife's b-day). We understood why right away and it was fantastic nonetheless! I'm sure this is attributed to mass understaffing happening throughout the country due to liberal Democratic government handouts. Looking forward to our next visit to this fabulous restaurant! Highly recommended! read more

My friend has recently developed celiac disease and the General Manager went way out of her way to accommodate his dietary needs. The service and food was so fantastic, that as a local, I will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Brought my boyfriend to Saint Augustine for his birthday. I decided on Collage for dinner. This was amazing. From the wait staff, to the drinks, to the amazing food this was the best I could have hoped for. The next time I'm here I will be sure to return. This was one of the best meals we've ever had. read more

One of the best dining experiences of my life. Service was stupendous. Atmosphere, beautiful. Food, amazing! I had the beef tenderloin with truffle butter. Everything about this dish was perfect. My wife and I made the reservation for our anniversary so the restaurant brought us a butter rum caked or dessert, complimentary for the occasion. I only have one suggestion: the salads would have been much better had they been served on chilled plates. read more

So so awesome. The food is over the top flavorful. The staff is very professional and knows the menu. I have been there twice and I would absolutely say this is one of the best restaurant experiences ever! read more

Oh what a night....and not a good one! This restaurants service is the worse I've ever experienced! We waited over an hour for our table numerous people getting seated ahead of us and we had a reservation!We were literally left sitting out at their entrance for over an hour. We finally were tired of waiting and left! No one had checked in with us....so we left! We then received a call from the restaurant saying we had stolen their wine!!!!! You must be kidding me! This place wasted over an hour of our time and they have the audacity to accuse me of stealing wine??? They should be offering me a glass for my trouble!!!! Will NEVER go here again and will share this experience with everyone read more

We had a great wedding anniversary dinner at Collage last night. From the second we walked in, we were treated great and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was spectacular: we started with the soup special, which was a very flavorful carrot soup that was both sweet and spicy. My wife had the goat cheese salad and I had the heirloom tomato salad and both were very good. The tomato salad had mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto which was great with the tomatoes. My wife had the scallops for dinner and I went with the seafood special which was an assortment of lobster, shrimp, clams, and mussels in a spicy broth with toasted bread for dipping.....wow was it good!! They even threw in a complimentary pound cake dessert for our anniversary. A special night at a special restaurant. read more

Very good service. Nice atmosphere. Dress code: some men had shorts and flip flops, others - slacks and button down shirt. We were seated promptly in a back corner. Great spot had it not been for the loud party of women at a ladies night out right next to us. Waitress was very nice and gave good recommendations. We started with wine by glass and escargot app. Escargot wasn't traditional, in a cream based sauce. Seemed to be more mushrooms than escargot. It was okay. Fresh bread and a sorbet palate cleanser was next. Both had fish for entrees. Black grouper was awesome and in a cream based sauce. Other fish was the special - flounder in more of a tomato sauce, also excellent. Rum cake for dessert, awesome!! Expensive but great for a special occasion. read more

By far my favorite restaurant in one of my favorite cities in the world! You must make a reservation ahead of time, but be quick because they fill up fast, and of course, it's a fine dining restaurant, so don't expect a bill less than $100, unless you're dining alone. But it's so worth it to have such an exquisite three course meal, fantastic customer service, mouth-water, eloquent food (I highly suggest the lamb chops), and a varied selection of wine. Try this place once in your lifetime if you ever visit this marvelous, historic town. Splurge a little, folks, life is too short! Try the Collage! read more

I never post on yelp but this is one of the best places I have ever eaten in my life and I have been to some world famous restaurants. Everything was spot on. Could not ask for better. read more

Went here last night for my birthday dinner. Waited 25 mins for our table even though we had a reservation. The service was nothing special. After we received the wrong appetizer the server barely stopped by the table. Not a fan of the vanilla flavor in the goat cheese salad dressing, which was accompanied by the saddest, mealy little slice of tomato. Our entrees were delicious-- had the prosciutto wrapped pork (loved the sweet potato pierogis but could have used some more of the sage cream sauce) and seafood mixed grill. Expected to be wowed by this dinner (we ate here last time we were in St Augustine a few years ago) but left feeling it was over priced and not special. read more

This is a great restaurant for special occasions. My wife and I had dinner there for our anniversary. Everything tasted great. Service was very good. We got a free desert for our anniversary. We picked another desert. When we were served the wrong desert, our waitress gave that one to us for free as well. And we still got the one we ordered. 3 deserts for 2 people, and paid for 1. Can not complain. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely fantastic. We were told this was one of the best restaurants in St. Augustine and the reviews were right. We made reservations a few months in advance for my parents anniversary and we were not disappointed! The restaurant is small and quaint. Delicious wine which paired nicely with our order. The food was wonderful and we even ordered dessert, which we never do! Collage will definitely be our special occasion restaurant from here on out. read more

Well, I'm not sure where to go with this. So many five star reviews and here I am again wondering why. The Collage is a beautiful restaurant with a great romantic atmosphere. Ordered a nice bottle of Malbec and a salad to share - and both were great. For entrees my wife ordered the filet and I ordered the rack of lamb. That's where the problem started - my old pet peeve - how can you cook food cold ??? My dinner was "warm" and my wife complained that her dinner wasn't even warm . I tasted my wife's dinner and the vegetables in particular were COLD. Our food was returned to the kitchen and came out again about five minutes later. Again, temperature was not where it should have been and a "manager type" lady came to the table to enquire about our problem. She boldly suggested that she could not understand why the food couldn't be hot as the food was served on WARM plates. Sorry - WARM plates does not equal HOT food. Having read all the great reviews on Collage we were really disappointed - I don't know what it takes to get a hot meal in this country - maybe Americans will accept warm food - but non Americans expect HOT food. Sorry read more

My husband and I traveled to St. Augustine for our 32nd Wedding Anniversary and my husband did some research on restaurants in St. Augustine and found that the Collage Restaurant was one of the best. We were excited to give this restaurant a try. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. Very small and intimate. We greeted immediately at the door and taken to our table (we had made reservations) right away. We sat for a few minutes before we were greeted by our server, which is a little longer than I would expect to wait at such a nice restaurant. When my husband made the reservation he let them know it was our Anniversary but during our conversation we mentioned it to our server who had no clue. At a small intimate restaurant like this one I would have expected them to already know this and to have already mentioned it to us. My husband and I each ordered a different soup. He tried the corn chowder and I tried their tomato basil soup. I didn't care for my soup as it tasted more like a marinara to me. My husband graciously traded with me as the Corn Chowder was absolutely delicious! For our meals I order the steak and my husband ordered fish. He doesn't usually order fish out but thought in a restaurant like this it has to be good. Well unfortunately it wasn't. :( It was grouper and he said it was terribly dry. He ate it anyway and we didn't say anything (which we usually do) because our server had already made a comment that he was getting the last fish. I ordered the steak which was very, very good. We both enjoyed the shredded vegetable mix that came with our meals. Our server did come with a complimentary sponge cake with strawberries dessert on the house for our Anniversary which we thought was very nice. It was very tasty and the whip cream was nice and creamy. Our experience here was good but not excellent. For the amount of money we spent at this restaurant everything really should have been spot on! I doubt we will return because to us the price was just way to high for the not so great service and the the food only being ok. read more

Four of us had a great dinner at Collage. The décor is nice but not too fancy which suited our party perfectly. Service was super attentive and professional. I had the BBQ Shrimp appetizer which was excellent. For an entrée I had the Red Snapper which was outstanding. The fish was prepared perfectly and tasted fabulous. I would go back for sure next trip to St Augustine. read more
