Sainte-George Restaurant - Modern European Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

This restaurant is iconic. The food is great , I am sorry for writing this, in honor of the truth, but they made a little mistake on the steak so my friend had to ask to cook more the steak to medium well as per what her original order was. They did it no problem, the rest of us were so happy with our options. The attention from Elisa was too notch! Professional French chic Style to say the least. Since I am on a Atkins diet she helped me to choose my drink, so tenderly guided me To the perfect drink for me l, called giggle water, a mix with Gin and cucumber. We were so happy here that we decided with my friends that once in town we will always do this "brunch happy hour" for us, because it was a great time spend here. Thanks St George for being our nest to our friendship. read more

We arrived on time for our 6:30 reservation. There was no hostess to seat us (or anyone else). 10 minutes later, she seated us at dirty table, left no menus or silverware, and disappeared. We were finally greeted by a server 15 minutes after we were seated, who promptly disappeared to get menus and silverware for us (another 10 minutes). Turns out she's also the bartender (and assistant manager). When we finally ordered, food came out. We had the empanada appetizer (fried and greasy), a Cesar salad (tiny, and $16). I ordered a bottle of malbec, which they were our of. Then I ordered a glass of merlot, which came out after our entrees. My entrees was actually pretty good (shortrib), but my wife's salmon was so salty it was inedible. I asked for the hostess to get our server, a manager, or the owner. Nobody ever came, so I went to the bar to flag down our server, who looked like she was ready to have a breakdown. That's how I found out she was the assistant manager. They made it right by taking my wife's meal off the check. During our meal, so many people walked out because they never got seated, even though they had reservations. The owner never came out, but I advised the assistant manager that if they plan to stay open, they need staff, service, and accommodation. If you plan to go, bring your patience. read more

What a great Find! Nice outside 2nd floor balcony tables in the old town. Great welcome by Hostess, friendly professional service by Ryleigh. Great drinks (Deadman's Lemonade; I had two!) and good food; Mushrooms Toast and Cobia. Turtle cheesecake for dessert. Very pleasant. read more

Ambiance: Beautiful. We sat outside on the balcony which had a beautiful view. See pics. On a nice day, you should definitely asked to be seated outside with a view of the water. Service: Excellent. They were friendly and attentive. Five stars for service. Food: We both ordered the Crab Cake BLT ($19) on the brunch menu which was disappointing and fishy. This is the reason for three stars. It didn't taste like traditional crab cakes, but I can't explain why. It's served open-face. We both wished we ordered something else. It also doesn't come with fries whereas the other sandwiches do. FYI: They have an automatic extra 1.5% tip added to the bill. See receipt. Would I go back? Yes to have a drink on the balcony, but not to eat. read more

From the reviews, I somewhat expected to regret my decision for choosing this place for Mother's Day dinner. Hostess were excellent in a rare sense. They were very polite and pleasant. I preferred to dress up for dinner and didn't seem out of place. Upstairs has a fine dining ambiance. Server gave great recommendations based on what I craved for the night. My cue to him was flavor, flavor, flavor and he understood the assignment by steering me towards flavorful options. Food in order of preference: shrimp and grit, short rib, Cobia, and charcuterie board. I think we could have skipped the charcuterie board though. Not the best we've had for the price. We had to put in another order for shrimp and grits to go. Total bill was $145. read more

This place is clearly a tourist trap-rip off. DON"T GO THERE! My husband made a reservation here for my son's 20th birthday on Nov. 24th and we were a party of 6. Upon arrival they placed a "happy birthday" card on the table. The ambiance was nice, decor nice, location great. However the food quality was poor for the prices we paid. This restaurant obviously needs better management. They were out of: Beef Wellington, Potatoes Au Gratin and one other item, I forgot. My son asked to get the Tomahawk Steak and Shrimp which was $250 for two and included salads, sides, and dessert. I shared it with him. We ordered several appetizers: focaccia, charcuterie board and calamiri. The first two were good but the calamari was undercooked and overly flourly. My husband and daughter ordered crabcakes which were microscopic sided and left them hungry. My other daughter ordered pork chops and they were dry and tough. She complained and they brought her something else which was better. When they brought out the Tomahawk Steak for me and my son, the cook forgot the shrimp. I asked, "what happened to the shrimp?" and the waiter quickly scrambled to go have the cook prepare. The steak presentation was nice and it was cooked medium rare as we requested. However it was extremely tough like a cheaper cut of meat. For the price of $250 we could have ordered a better cut like filet mignon at another restauarant. Everyone else at our table was finished eating before my son and me. It took us so long to chew the tough chewy steak, especially my son who was looking forward to a treat on his birthday. When we finally finished we were expecting for desert the waiter to bring out a lit candle and so we could sing happy birthday. They said they didn't even have CANDLES! UNBELIEVABLE! Although the waiter and bartender were very attentive and accommodating, I think the restaurant was mismanaged and the food quality was poor. The experience was extremely disappointing. We would never go back there. For the amount of the bill we paid we could have gone to Ruth Chris or another nice steakhouse and gotten a quality meal. read more

I'll start with - my parents RAVED about this restaurant for months so maybe my expectations were a bit too high. We went out for my dad's birthday, and they were thankfully able to seat us early. We arrived 20 minutes early and were seated immediately. Our server was pretty slow (even my 4 year old told her she took too long ) and not the most friendly. Really gave off a strong impression that she didn't want to be there. We started with a charcuterie board, which was alright. It's hard to mess up a charcuterie board. Basic cheeses and meats. The pickled red onion was a delicious addition. We asked if they had anything for kids, and our server mentioned an off-menu chicken and fries. The fries were good but the chicken was INSANELY dry. I got the short ribs, and while the meat was tender - the sauce was just okay. The potato stack was basically under-seasoned potato chips. Not bad but not that great. The asparagus, however, was very good. Easily the best asparagus I've had. I guess my standards were set far too high, but I really did expect much more. Nothing was BAD but there was not much that was truly memorable. read more

Adorable upscale restaurant in downtown St Augustine with great views. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere and location were wonderful, the food was excellent, and the employees were very welcoming. Outstanding service from entrance to exit. Special thanks to stunningly beautiful Maddie for amazingly awesome service! She really made our day!! We really enjoyed a great Thursday afternoon brunch, expertly prepared by Chef Jaime Simoes. We ordered: Lobster "Corn Dog" $16 -- excellent, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? I do wish there were a bit more seasoning on the lobster "Deep fried cornmeal tempura battered, warm water lobster skewers, served with our guava datil ketchup and stone ground mustard." Classic Breakfast $12 (no bacon) -- perfect taste and presentation, though I wish those who don't/can't eat meat could substitute fruit, yougurt, or something else for pork "Two over easy eggs served with charred poblano, "Montreal Spice" seasoned homestyle potatoes and a toasted buttered croissant." Sainte-George Eggs Benny $14 (Added Lobster & Caviar $15) -- excellent "Traditional egg benedict - poached egg on a lightly toasted housemade sourdough muffin, crispy pancetta, sweet butter hollandaise, pea tendrils." "Chocolate and Cherry Pudding Au Pain $13 -- excellent, rich, better than Restaurant Orsay's bread pudding House made croissants, chocolate morsels, dried Bing Cherries, candied pecans, warm rum butter, topped with vanilla ice cream." Cookie and Cream $10 -- very good texture, arrives fresh and hot with vanilla ice cream, but flavor is reminiscent of store bought cookie dough. I wouldn't get it again. "Freshly baked colossal salted chocolate chip cookie served warm with vanilla ice-cream." We are so glad we found it! Other than Collage and Costa Brava, there isn't any upscale dining in this area with a blend of atmosphere, outstanding service, and flavorful food with artful presentation. Everything arrived in a timely manner, served hot, and cooked properly. I love that they serve breakfast and lunch from morning until about 4PM. One con is not being able to substitute a small salad, yogurt, fruit, etc. for meat on the Classic Breakfast. It's not amazing food, but it's flavorful, the atmosphere and location are wonderful, and the service is absolutely amazing. We will definitely return! Thank you! read more

Exceptionally good food, atmosphere and service. I started with the tempura scallops and the hoisin like sauce, tempura texture and perfectly cooked scallops are to die for. The Thai basil was a very thoughtful herb to add with the edamame and toasted sesame seeds. For my entree, I got the short ribs, which were so tender you didn't need a knife. The thousand layer potatoes were super crispy and seasoned well. The bacon lardons with the fresh peas were a fantastic combination. Lastly, dessert was a flourless chocolate cake with berries and a crème anglaise. Delicious but I thought it could use more crème anglaise and/or whipped cream. I've docked one star because the lemon fish entree was ordered and it was extremely over cooked and dry. Decor is gorgeous and service is friendly and knowledgeable! read more

I met up with my friends to go out dinner. This restaurant was recommended by one of my friends. I was skeptical as the menu had few options for pescatarians. I ended up with an appetizer of thee tempura scallops and a house salad. My friend had the short rib dinner. My scallops were cold and soggy and the salad was very good. The short ribs were gummy. I've been to this restaurant twice: my first and last. Pro: the location and ambiance. The server was very pleasant. Con: Limited menu. read more

What they could improve ? Everything. I had a reservation and it took them 30 minutes to get a table for my family even though we gave them time in advance. Service was horrible. Food was wrong, under/over cooked and had to send food back. The only good thing was the live music. Did not feel caref for and I can gladly say that I will not be coming again and would not recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was good, but didn't blow me away. Short rib (4/5) - the meat was super tender and tore apart effortlessness. I'm not sure what all the hype was about the peas. They were fine. I didn't realize the thousand layer potato was fried, I try to stay away from fried foods. All of three worked nicely together, but I wanted my taste buds to sing with praise instead it was like...ok, cool, thanks for feeding me. Lol Chicken marsala was also good, but not great. It was what you would expect from a restaurant. If you want good restaurant food, this place is cool, but I like innovative, bold, and/or really delicious flavors and this place just missed the mark for me. The ambiance is as nice and the service was good which is why I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5. read more

We came here on a Wednesday evening, no reservation was needed. We were promptly greeted and had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We opted for the outdoor balcony seating which provided a nice view of the Castillo and surrounding old town area. We ordered the mushroom risotto and the short rib and both were delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The drinks were generous and flavorful as well. Absolutely recommend this restaurant for an upscale but still easy-going dinner. read more

We had reservations and were seated upon arrival. The upstairs was a little stuffy/hot. It was 60s outside. The service was a pinch slow but the ambiance was really cute and intimate. Perfect date night spot. My husband ordered the pork chop and it was amazing. It was the best pork chop either of us had ever eaten. I ordered the risotto and it was good but didn't knock my socks off. The risotto did pair well with the pork chop. We also had a side of mashed sweet potatoes that were not my favorite. It was fairly bland. Overall decent food and atmosphere. Would like to try some other food next time we go. read more

A great restaurant right in front of the old city gates. They have a really wonderful outdoor area and the choices for drinks is quite extensive. We had charcuterie board and squash soup ( both exceptional) as a late lunch with 3:00 reservations. Here's where it gets weird.. We were the ONLY table seated at the time, yet they stuck us at the top of the stairs far from any view. I literally had to ask and they moved us one table over. Since there was NOBODY outside and we were only ordering snacks we asked to maybe go outside (we reserved inside as it was supposed to be quite chilly) and were told they were fully booked. Mind you the restaurant has NO HOURS blocked out for reset to evening food. I was kind of boggled, but I don't work in the restaurant/food service industry, so maybe I am not understanding. All in all the wine was good and we went outside for a few to take pics before we left, then just went elsewhere to get items other then breakfast **Warning- the lunch menu is not the same as the review pics; it has changed. Sorry- forgot to take a picture:/ read more

Our dinner service last night was... disappointing to say the least. We had a 6:30 reservation and though we were seated quickly it took over 30 minutes for us to receive menus or waters, and we had to go inside and find a manager and ask. When the food came out, the short rib stroganoff and filet minon, I kid you not, my husband and I almost laughed. The presentation left a lot to be desired, we felt we could have gotten a better steak at Outback for $15 vs the $50 steak we ate here. Service was SLOW, food was mid at best, and not an apology or acknowledgement from management on the misgivings. I don't think we'll be returning... read more

Sainte-George Restaraunt - where have you been? OMG found this dining spot online a couple of weeks ago and was amazed I'd never paid them a visit. That all changed last week when my wife and I wandered the streets of St Auggie to find them at the beginning of St George Street. Literally at the beginning - 1 St George Street to be specific. I dined on the amazing stuffed chicken entree while my wife sampled the pan seared salmon. Both were delicious That was followed by the seasonal chefs desert of (a heap of) freshly sliced peaches served on top of a really great tasting thinly sliced cake. AMAZING place that you have to try. The stroll down St George Street is worth the effort. Clearly now one of my favorite places to dine in this wonderful historic city! read more

Visited 11/25, party of 2 with no reservation. Seated easily at 6.00pm, not too busy. Only two waiting staff working and took forever to take our order.

This restaurant was a great surprise on our Florida trip . Located in the Main Street , the place is very pretty inside and we had the pleasure to seat at the balcony overlooking the street. The service was excellent, our server was a little bit overwhelmed but she was very nice and welcoming. The food was amazing , everything was very well presented, and delicious . The ribs were cooked to perfection. I'm a rib lover and no doubt, this one was one of the best ribs I have ever had. ( well after my partner's ribs ) The filet was also great, tender and tasty. Drinks and all the sides dishes were also very good. Only down side is that I order an appetizer that later was one of the side dishes too. Do not get me wrong , it was very good, but I think they should have at least alert me about it, and I would try a different option. I Totally recommend this place because food is the best . read more

As far as I know this is a new restaurant, and I usually have more grace and want places to succeed. The food was genuinely good, I ordered a tomahawk steak and I would get it again. But man can I tell you about the service. Most of my group waited very long for drinks, our server had an attitude when we asked for more water, there was no prompting from the server about how I wanted my steak cooked. You would think that is the bare minimum follow up question after ordering the most expensive item on the menu. After our meal all our entree plates were just left on the table. We asked our server to split the checks for our party and he clearly had an attitude to do that. We received Buffalo Wild Wings service at an expensive restaurant. It's unfortunate because a restaurant with great food and bad service is just an average restaurant. read more

Ok I must amend my review. Unfortunately, it's not for the better. I've learned that they are under new management which is fine, however the food is anything but fine. A $40 pork chop! Really? Sorry but I just can't. I've always ordered the tuna here and did again tonight. It was served with what o thought was a salad. What it looked like was a plate of ramen noodles with Thai peanut sauce or essentially peanut butter. With Seared tuna? Umm no...not great. Especially at $36. Best part of the meal was the Corona. Sorry but this place has some work to do to get me to come back here. read more

We were looking forward to trying their brunch and Bloody Mary's. We were incredibly disappointed with a burnt biscuit, watery Bloody Mary, and very high prices.

We found our way to the upstairs bar at Sainte-George after a horrible experience at a near by "martini" bar. We did not eat here and can only speak about the craft cocktails and service.

The ambiance was amazing -- really cool, modern furniture and decor on the 2nd floor. Not sure what the rest looks like but I'd be it's awesome. Next time we are coming to dine!

Great new downtown St Augustine restaurant! Delicious fancy food and gorgeous view. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but that's everywhere downtown St Augustine. Great date night spot with even better food. Can't wait to try the brunch. Delicious charcuterie board with a variety of cheeses and meats. Only complaint is that there was not nearly enough crostini to meat/cheese ratio. Scallops were perfectly seared and so delicious but there were only 3. Looks like this dish has since been moved to the appetizer menu, which seems appropriate. It was quite light for as an entree. Service was wonderful. Wine list was vast. Food has me wanting to go back. read more

For a superb dinner on St Augustine, run to Sainte-George located at the very end of St George down by the fort. The meal was delicious - there were four of us and we had the mushroom soup medley, the beef bruschetta, the short ribs, the seared tuna and the pesto and mushroom chicken, a side of delicious asparagus and the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was great. Our server, Masyn was excellent and knowledgeable about all of their dishes. read more

Went here for a graduation dinner party. Staff and manager were very accommodating and friendly. The place is beautiful, cozy and elegant. The food though was a let down...I had asked for a medium steak and got well done so it was pretty hard to eat. Alcoholic drinks were a bit strong, I had ordered the lychee and it wasn't quite what I thought it was. In regards to the steak I was going to ask for it to be cooked again but the kitchen staff seemed short-handed and one of my friends who had been waiting for her meal that took forever so I didn't want to be an inconvenience. I'm glad I tried this place but truth be told I wouldn't go again. My recommendation is a 5/10 mostly because of the staff and manager. read more

Sainte-George Restaurant - NY strip steak with salad and potatoes. - Modern European Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

We enjoyed brunch and overall it was a great experience! The service was outstanding. Our server went above and beyond expectations. The food was almost perfect. We had the charcuterie, which held a very nice assortment of goodies from meat to cheeses to honeycomb and more. The baguette was hot and delicious. You can have it with butter, dipping oil, or both. Dishes ranged from mushroom soup with the specialty beet salad with salmon add on to poke bowls to a traditional breakfast. We added an order of the short rib hash and the french onion soup. Drinks were lattes and coffee which were excellent. Oat milk and almond milk are available. Regrettably, the cold brew was not. The French onion soup was a little off the traditional path but very rich and very tasty. I believe the difference is the star anise. Definitely worth a try. The mushroom soup was outstanding, a must have. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. My only complaint about the food is the egg dish and the short rib hash had slightly too much salt, but not where it was inedible. My preference is to have the dishes undersalted rather than over, and then I can add more to taste. The portions for the charcuterie could have been a little bit larger for the price, but this is understandable with an upscale dining experience and the variety certainly made up for it. Ambiance was wonderful, a lovely restaurant, and next time we need to try sitting on the outside deck on the second floor. Note there is a small service charge for the kitchen you can ask to have removed if you're so inclined. I would have preferred for this to be mentioned when orders were taken rather than discovering it on the bill and then seeing a sign next to the bathroom door after the meal, but I don't have any issues with paying it. Overall, a wonderful meal and we will return in the future! read more

Sainte-George Restaurant - Beautiful interior! They sat us upstairs. - Modern European Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

After having a fantastic meal, and great service, back in early December, which was our first time viisting Sainte George Restaurant, we decided to revisit the restaurant a few weeks ago. We brought another couple with us because we told them about how awesome the food was . My husband had the Beef Wellington when we went there the first time. Our friends LOVE Beef Wellington and no one else in the area, that we are aware of, offers this on their menu. Once agian the food was top notch as well as the service. We always ask for Kathy when we make our reservations, she's very attentive and pleasant, which adds to a great dining experience. Our friends both ordered the Beef Wellinton, as well as my husband. It was cooked to PERFECTION once again. There's always a risk when you brag about how great a restaurant is to friends, and then take them there only to be diappointed . This was not the case...we had another great meal. We will be back to eat here in late February with yet another couple that loves Beef Wellinton, as well as family coming down in a few months for a visit from Connecticut, and we will be bringing them here. BTW, I love seafood, and I had the scallop special my first visit and the grilled fish this past time, both were really delicious. The ambiance is really great. The restaurant overlooks the bay and the fort. There is both inside and outside seating. I have gone there a few times during a girls shopping day, and sat outside on the balcony during the day enjoying the view, weather and a glass of wine with friends. At night this is the perfect "date night" destination. They have a full bar menu and I love their dirty martinis, Kathy knows how to make them just right! read more

My boyfriend and I were roaming downtown trying to find a place to eat and stumbled upon this place. The staff from the beginning was extremely nice including the hostess, our waitress and who we think is the manager or owner. The place inside is beautiful and not something we expected just looking at it from the outside. They have a small but diverse menu and the food was delicious! My only complaint is the dishes were pretty small for the price. I would definitely suggest getting an appetizer or desert if you are someone who has a big appetite. My boyfriend got the shrimp and grits appetizer which we knew was going to be small and I got the bucatini pasta hoping to split it with him, but I ended up eating the whole thing. Overall a good experience and we will definitely be back! read more

This was the worst dining experience. I have never experienced such bad service. Basically we were ignored after being seated. No waiter or waitress came over to our table until I had to notify an employee. Once we had a waiter service still did not improve. We watched as all the tables around us were served while we didn't get our drink orders, kids meals or our entrees. We had no choice but to get up and leave to find food for our kids elsewhere. We dine out frequently and have never had such a bad experience. I hope management reads this to investigate what happened and works to improve customer experience. This was our second visit to this establishment and sadly we will not return. read more

Great cocktails, great food! We started with the Lobster Corn Dogs which were more substantial than we thought they would be.
