Salmon
Tania C.

Location was great. We stopped by to had some dinner on a busy Saturday. Place looked nice and we decided to sit outdoors. Food was good. We had some salmon and Risotto. Maybe both a little on the oily side? But they tasted good. Ambiance was good with lovely music in the background. Service started good but went downhill. We didn't have utensils and napkins or water refills, when our food came. Manager offered us free dessert or drinks for the oversight. We didn't want any that night, so I guess is good that management wanted to apologize. We kept having not too great of a service during the night. Well, if you are in the area, you might consider stopping by and have an experience of your own. Hopefully yours will be much better. Happy dinner!

First of all, I want to thank my boyfriend for choosing this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere and the terrace were amazing, and the food was excellent--we'll be back.

Service and atmosphere were fantastic! Our server (I believe his name was Caleb) was so friendly and helpful. He helped us narrow down what we should eat a few times! I ended up ordering the bacon, egg and chorizo waffle sandwich. It was good but I wish it had felt a little more up scale. The vibes of the restaurant are so nice and intimate, but the food felt a bit commercial. I enjoyed my sandwich a lot but next time I would probably try something new.

A Disappointing Valentine's Day Experience I always try to give a restaurant some grace on Valentine's Day, knowing it can be one of the most challenging nights of the year for service staff. However, our experience at Sainte-George Restaurant in St. Augustine left us unimpressed--not because of the holiday rush, but due to poor coordination and disappointing hospitality. The Good: Let's start with the positives. The food itself was solid. I had the filet mignon, which was decent--nothing spectacular, but well-prepared and served with carrots and potatoes. While the price wasn't the best value, it was reasonable given the setting. Naomi, the bartender, was the highlight of the night. She was friendly, efficient, and handled our order with professionalism. The Issues: We had a 5:30 PM reservation and were promptly seated on the outdoor patio. Normally, this would be a pleasant setting, but at 60° with wind, it was far from comfortable. Our hostess mentioned she would bring water and be right back, yet 10 minutes passed with no service--no water, no server, nothing. Realizing it would be too chilly to enjoy the meal, I went inside to ask if we could be moved. I was told there were no available seats inside, but we could sit at the bar itself--not at the bar-side tables, as those were "reserved." We opted for the bar, making the best of an uncomfortable situation. Then came the frustrating part. Throughout our meal, we watched multiple walk-in customers--without reservations--get seated at the very bar-side tables we were told were unavailable. Even more frustrating, two couples who sat at these tables quickly left after seeing the limited menu or high prices. It was disappointing to see tourists given preferential treatment over a couple with a reservation. Final Thoughts: For a $90 per person experience, we expected a more seamless and professional dining experience. Instead, we encountered disorganization, poor communication, and an arbitrary seating policy that seemed to prioritize walk-ins over reservations. While we are locals and always on the lookout for great restaurants in St. Augustine, we won't be returning to Sainte-George. The area is filled with fantastic dining options that offer both better service and a stronger value for the price. If you're visiting and looking for a memorable meal, I'd recommend exploring elsewhere.

Four stars for the ambience! The service wasn't that great and we're a little disappointed that our drinks weren't refilled. It took quite a while for someone to come by to take any orders, but she tried to rush the kids meals. I think the waitress tried her best but she never really came around. The restaurant is quaint and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was portioned pretty small but it was good. The bar is pretty upstairs as well but the restroom needed a little TLC. I like the location though, easy to get to if you're already on St. George street. Try it if you're in the area though if you want a nice meal.

I thought I had left a review for this place when we had dinner but I don't see one so let's drop on for brunch. First off the upstairs and outside seating is awesome. Really great view. Plenty of open seats but it is a Friday at lunch time. Great sounding choices. Got a bowl of the mushroom soup. Pretty tasty but it didn't knock my socks off. Missing something. For main we had the Thai noodle salad. It was ok but like the soup it seemed to need a little something more. Maybe more sauce. Over pretty good food with great views. Nice to sit and chill.

I made a reservation about three weeks in advance for Valentine's Day. We arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time and were seated at an outdoor table on their upstairs balcony. After we were seated, no waiter came around for about ten minutes. It was a cold and windy night so my husband went down to the hostess and asked if we could move down to the bar area instead. She said yes, but only to be seated at the bar and not a table. We were so hungry that we agreed to sit at the bar. While we ate our dinner at the bar, we saw other diners come in with no reservations and get a table in the bar area. Poor customer service from both the hostess as well as the upstairs waiter. The menu offered 3 appetizers, 4 entrees and one dessert option. I had the lobster pasta and my husband had the filet mignon. The food was fine.

Cioppino
Robert C.

My pork chop was excellent. The cornbread stupendous. The empanadas tasty but too much for one person. The Cioppino was good. Our server was very nice and efficient given the level of dysfunction surrounding us. It was busy given the two-day concert event, and the space, while quite comfy is a staff killer. Kitchen is downstairs - as was the destination for all bussing. As we were seated at the turn at stair top, everything went by us in both directions. The food runner had no idea where to bring multiple dishes, the single bartender was overwhelmed, and servers literally ran through the room to get back downstairs . Wine list short, somewhat commercial and and a bit pricey. Given the breadth and quality of the food this could use improvement to match.

The world's worst and most overpriced nachos.

Several reviewers have suggested Lily European Kitchen…read moreRestaurant is a hidden gem in Jacksonville. And I completely agree. This restaurant is in an unassuming strip shopping center in Jacksonville's Southside area on Southside Boulevard. The owner and chef hail from Ukraine and are presenting some of their native foods to diners in Jacksonville. The restaurant is small. 7 tables including several booths. It's an intimate setting and the perfect place for a date night. My dining companion and I visited on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. The restaurant was not crowded. I can see how it might be in the evening. We ordered the pierogies and sausages, which is served with sour cream and topped with crispy fried onions. We also ordered the Cheburki, a large empanada made from pastry dough stuffed with ground chicken and onions - a traditional Eastern European street food favorite. The Cheburki is served with a green salad. Both entrées were well cooked and delicious. Although we shared them, it was definitely enough for two people. There's lovely music playing in the background that adds to the ambience and I believe they have fairy lights hanging from the curtains that would add to a completely romantic mood for evening meals. The owners were completely hospitable and welcoming! We thought that the addition of Italian specialties on the menu was unusual but later learned that not everyone wants to venture out and try Ukrainian food. So this is a way to appeal to the less adventurous diner. Service was spot on and we will return!!

I really REALLY wanted to like this place because it's such a cute little Eastern European cafe,…read morebut unfortunately the food was terrible. First, the mozzarella salad that's pictured on Yelp with balls of fresh mozzarella isn't what you actually get. It was shredded mozzarella and the lettuce was brown and wilted, not very appetizing. The pierogis were good but the sausage that accompanied it was basically Jimmy Dean sausage. The service was decent but they definitely microwaved the food because I heard it go off multiple times in the hour I was there. If I wanted to eat microwaved food, I would have just ate at home.

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

Another cute place that took us too long to check out. We were walking around for Art Walk and…read moredecided to stop in here for a glass of wine and to check what this place really is. It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.
