Tuna nicoise salad
Kimberly K.

Quiet day for brunch. Most of the people were sat outside on this sunny day but was sat inside and it was fine. Service was great for the most part. There was some longer waits for things needed at times but it was ok They use the freshest ingredients so that was a nice touch. The truffled deviled eggs were tasty. The tuna nicoise salad looked appealing but with such huge chunks it needed to be cut up into smaller pieces. It was a knife and fork salad for sure. The brunch special - crispy potato hash with eggs, sub shrimp for pork and extra thick hollandaise sauce with a side salad. It was good, especially the potato part It was a nice setting in an old Victorian house. Small seating but nicely done with a large porch

My review is short and concise 5 stars for food, service, ambiance, and wait time!!!!

Duck was  very delicious
Brit H.

Not an overly friendly establishment, but pleasant nonetheless. The house is very Victorian and has a lot of charm. I was expecting to get out of this world flavor, but it was so so. The caesar salad was a little disappointing but the duck confit was delicious. The cappuccinos were lacking a little luster, but the oysters were quite refreshing. I probably wouldn't go back, but it's a fun one time experience in my opinion.

Crème brulle

Brunch with the girls! No reservation and we were seated immediately, we did get there a little after 11am. We had baguettes with butter and radishes and olive fir starters. Three cocktails- all good I had the peach Bellini not sure what the others drank. For lunch we had onion soup- told it was so so. Steak fritte delish and duck confit- also yummy. We had a chocolate pudding type dessert, lavender crème brulle and macarons- all good. Nice atmosphere. Inside and outside dining. We weren't sure where the entrance was- look for the restaurant name on the building which faces the parking lot and head that way. Above and adjacent is an air bnb. I would definitely go back. Staff was very nice.

Visited Saint Augustine for a week and we experienced every fine dining restaurant. We were so lucky to finish our last night here at La Nouvelle, because it simply knocked everywhere else out the water. The house is beautiful and has historical significance but the ambience on the patio was just charming. We were seated quickly and the kitchen adjusted to any allergies we had. The famous chef went to culinary school in France, and it showed. Every dish had the perfect temperature, and extraordinary flavor palette, was presented delicately and swiftly. Overall looking back everything paired so well together, and sat excellent on our stomachs. It was orchestrated phenomenally from start to finish. So much attention to detail. The local coffee in the French press was so good we ended up ordering it online at the table. If they sold their desserts I would've taken all of them to go! We ended up taking more bread and butter for the road, because I knew I wouldn't sign bread this soft and crunchy for a long time. Not ashamed to admit that I ate the rest of the butter by spoon. This was a meal that I will remember and recommend! Well done chef! Extra notes: they also offer a chef special, which if you order the entire table must order. The French onion soup marinate for days and onion simply dissolve in your mouth, it's a must try. They have an excellent meat selection for the entrées but we wanted something light so we could eat more, and the fish was an excellent choice.

Had dinner here during a trip over the Christmas holiday. The food and service were excellent. This is a gourmet restaurant serving fine French cuisine. To start, we each ordered the French onion soup and shared an onion tart. For our main course we had the Duck Confit and filet steak. For desert we had these little "Creme puff" pastries and a blueberry tart. The building is a historic Victorian home of The Daughters of the American Revolution. There is cozy inside seating as well as outdoor seating on a beautiful deck. Reservations are a must.

Food was out of this world! Every dish we had was better than the next. The baguettes came with delicious butter...the Caesar salad had amazing white anchovies...the steak tartare was some of the best I've had, and came with superb shoestring fries. The Mahi Mahi fish special had a super sauce and was served with mashed potatoes which was a great pairing, and the duck confit was great as well. We were all saying how we have to keep coming back to try more dishes! Margaret was our server and was five star! She had a deep knowledge of the food as well as local history. The rest of the staff was attentive too. The building is an old house and is charming....great acoustics as you can hear each other talk. There's lots of outdoor seating but a bit cold tonight so most people were indoors. The hearty souls outside were under heat lamps and knew to dress accordingly. Will definitely go back!

Great spot in an old house. We came here for brunch when it was something else. Got a really nice table by the window. Our server was right there for us with water and orders. We started with the French onion soup. Amazing. Deep flavors. Server said it takes 3 days to make it. Chèvre frise salad. So good. My favorite at this point. Such a good bite with the creamy chèvre and frise with the raspberry vinaigrette Wine is very reasonable. Got a cote du Rhône. Really nice. Started with some French onion soup. Very good deep flavors. Excellent start. Moved on to some baked chèvre. Amazing. So light and full of flavor. For our main we had the FILET AUX POIVRES, filet mignon. cognac pepper sauce, duck fat potatoes. Cooked perfectly. Was really good. Since we were celebrating we got a dessert. Picked the PARIS-BREST pratine creme mousseline. Very tasty. Great final bite for our meal.

Had lunch at La Nouvelle for my birthday. Beautiful dining room. They also have some lovely outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Service was very attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were very good. We had the croque madame and the royale with cheese. They brought my Paris-brest out with a cute candle. Very lovely place that I would happily visit again.

Poulet Roti

This was our second time coming to this restaurant. The service has been top notch and the food is incredible, only surpassed by the ambiance. This is by far our favorite place to eat in St. Augustine and easily one of our top 5 restaurants we have ever been to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and we will definitely be back.

This shop is wonderful, with hand selected bottles of wine along with gifts and various food items…read more Earlier in the day, I went to the shop Wines at Fort Alley where I was beyond shocked at just how rude the shopkeeper was. She screamed at me as I tried to open up the refrigerator to get a cooled Sauvignon Blanc, not seeing the aggressive sign it was ONLY for the worker to touch the wine. Then she screamed at my daughter looking at an umbrella. Talk about anger issues! This shop was the exact opposite experience. I was greeted upon walking in, offered assistance to pick out wine and the owner engaged with my daughter. I was so much happier to spend my money here vs Fort Alley. I ended up getting some Italian reds, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and some wines from my Paso Robles in Southern California, one of my favorite wine regions. I was hoping to get some Prosciutto but the shop was all out. The shopkeeper explained there was a rush from customers and she didn't get her regular order in. It was completely understandable. And appreciated her sharing why it wasn't available rather than being dismissive like at the previous wine shop I was at over at Fort Alley. I am so glad I came to this shop. I come to St. Augustine often to visit my family and I'll be back.

Every single person that has ever poured us a glass of wine at the Gifted Cork has been an absolute delight. They are always so helpful and so nice and we always enjoy our time that we spend with them. We have actually found a few of our favorite wines by doing these wine tastings.
