One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had.

The location was very convenient to my hotel. I had an early reservation so there were few customers. I think this contributed to the excellent service. On my way out, I saw that it had gotten very busy in spite of it being a Tuesday evening. I had the grilled swordfish which was served with some rice and green beans. The portion sizes were just right. And the salmon was cooked perfectly. I could not say no to the bourbon bread pudding. Outstanding and worth every calorie! read more

The building is over 100 years old but tastefully remodeled. We had a corner table for 4, possibly due to open table reservations (choice of indoors or out). Lots of windows. We tried a few mixed drinks to start, ranging from basic to inventive. My Hunters Manhattan was excellent. We followed that with wine and beer from a decent selection. Three ordered the lasagne with meatball and sausage. The house made sausage is outstanding. I ordered the cappellini pomodoro and added shrimp - 5 jumbos. I loved it. The ladies ordered dessert. Both were pleased. The berry crepe is to die for. Service was attentive. Prices were reasonable. We will be back next time we are in St Augustine read more

I asked our server Jennifer about the schnitzel, and she said it was fabulous. She has worked there four years. The schnitzel was anything but fabulous. It was tough as show leather. You had to work the steak knife through it like a chainsaw to cut it. The flavor wasn't there either. Very little flavor. I ate four bites and meanwhile Jennifer services our table and sees I'm not eating it. She doesn't inquire. We get to the end of the meal where everyone is finished, and she asked if she could take our plates. As she took mine I told her the schnitzel was super tough. She says oh okay and never offered anything else. Wait, at least go tell the chef. If you really cared, go tell the manager. Well with nothing being said or actions taken that told me she didn't give a rip. So here's my review from someone who lives in St Augustine. I won't be back! So if your teeth and hands need a workout, make sure you order the schnitzel. read more

This place was amazing. The service was phenomenal and incredibly accommodating. I had the Alfredo special that was truly perfect. Not too heavy and was topped with steak that was perfectly cooked and a hearty amount of steak. I also had the sangria to drink which was delicious. I ended the night sharing the bread pudding which was to die for! The vibes were perfect felt like a cozy and welcoming environment. We had a group of 8 and everyone loved their food!! Definitely stop by! read more

Ok. Let me say this at first glance at their menu I said to my husband this is going to be hit or miss. With a large selection from And I mean large, the size of their seating capacity makes for a perfect storm I was right, 3 out of 6 dinners were terrible. I will not get into particulars, but the staff was wonderful and the location and the ambience was nice. read more

Raintree is the best! We had such a wonderful time. We were seated outside on a beautiful day. Both inside and outside of the restaurant were wonderfully decorated for the holidays. We went for Sunday brunch for a birthday, and they even wrote a cute little card they dropped off at our table! The chicken and waffles were delicious. The sandwiches were great, too! And even better service. We will certainly return when we visit. read more

Had Sunday brunch at Raintree restaurant. Ordered the escargot and then had shrimp and grits and the duck and waffles. The escargot with mushroom slices was good as well as the shrimp and grits. The duck and Belgium waffles were excellent. Crispy skin and juicy meat on the duck. Loved it. read more

stepped in after Nights of Lights a little after 8pm and was told by the hostess 12/06 that the restaurant was full. We said that is fine but asked if we could sit at the bar and have a snack. She informed me that the bar did not offer any food. We were alright with that and ended up sitting outside getting an uber out of the city. After doing some research I found that that was untrue. I do not appreciate being lied to. read more

Not only was the waiter rude and the food was awful they lost our credit card. the Bang Bang Shrimp was dry and tasteless and musse were very Sandy, many other choices in this city, don't settle for this one. read more

We had a wonderful experience here. The filet my husband ordered was melt in your mouth delicious and my shrimp and lobster pasta was perfect. The serving sizes were smaller but we didn't need leftovers anyway and we had room for dessert that was really good as well. Service was on point and attentive. The patio was a bit run down and need of cleaning but maybe it was part of the esthetic.... read more

We celebrated our 30th anniversary here, and the experience was exceptional. The food and service were outstanding. We began with the Bruschetta Caprese, which was delicious. For our main course, we both enjoyed the Filet Mignon Béarnaise--hands down the most tender and flavorful steak we've ever had. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing food and service. Our waiter Tim was excellent. Had the veal and shrimp in a mornay sauce, it was fantastic!

The food is always amazing. The service is great we've never had bad service. The ambiance is great. You can sit outside. Or inside is a beautiful renovated house with multiple dining rooms read more

Wow!! This place really impressed us! We went for brunch and it was absolutely fabulous! All of our meals were so tasty!! The restaurant is built in an old house with so much character. The stained glass artwork and adorable sitting area made the experience even better. Our server was very friendly and charismatic, and service was quick! The Eggs Benedict was delicious for brunch, as well as the side of cheese grits and the Rise and Shine burger!! One of the best brunches in St. Augustine! We will definitely be back to try dinner! read more

We had passed by this restaurant dozens of times on our way to downtown St. Augustine but had never eaten there until tonight. I am so glad we did because it was a lovely experience. The ambiance is great because they have so many outdoor tables, and even two gazebos. We were lucky enough to get one of the gazebos and it was a very romantic experience. The menu offers about ten appetizers, six salads, six pasta dishes, ten entrees, as well as steaks and chops. We started with the charcuterie board. It had two slices of three different meats, a hunk of cheese, bread and jam, olives and grapes. For my entree I had the Veal San Marco. It came with two pieces of delicious veal, three shrimp, and mushrooms in a sherry butter sauce. It was also accompanied by mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Every entree also comes with a small side salad. My husband had the flounder with lemon butter garlic sauce. His dish came with mixed vegetables and rice. He said the fish tasted great. It took us two years to get here but we will not wait another two years to return. Service was great from Brent. read more

Stopped Saturday since I was in St. Augustine for other reasons. It's been 3 years since my last visit and I was really wanting/craving some great escargot. I have always set at a table outside before, but today was hot and it was just me and a good book, so I sat at a corner table in the bar area. I was served by John T who was welcoming, provided outstanding service, and was dated by my only wanting escargot, a caesar salad and iced tea. He made sure my tea was refilled, checked to see that everything was ok and left me to enjoy my meal and my book, all of which I did!!!! I won't wait as long to return. Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but believe me, the presentation was also well done!! read more

My boyfriend made reservations and took us here for my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised. We had late reservations because we had an appointment at Ink & Barley before and were not sure how long it would take. But it was earlier than we thought and we walked over to Raintree to see if they could seat us early. Our reservation was for 8pm on a Saturday but the host was super accommodating and sat us right away upstairs! We ordered all the food! Bang bang shrimp, I had the lasagna with meatball and sausage, my boyfriend had the chicken zíngara and for dessert we had the bread pudding and cappuccino ice cream crepe. Omg it was all so delicious! Now the reviews were also not wrong. The presentation kind of makes the food appear oily or not so fresh. But it was delicious! I think they could improve on the presentation. If you're in the area, this is a great option for a delicious meal. It's within walking distance of the fort, downtown St. Aug, uptown St. Aug and Ripley's. read more

By far the worst breakfast I have ever had at a restaurant before. Not a single person at our table of 7 had a positive experience. The french toast came with a heap of expired sour cream, the waffles were basic microwaved frozen waffles, and on top of the horrible food, all the silverware and plates were worn down and dirty. Maybe their dinner is ok but do not ever go to this embarrassment for breakfast or brunch. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great service with amazing food and awesome drinks. Would definitely go again.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere! We had the salmon and the eggplant Parmesan. They were both amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Raintree was a birthday treat for my wife. Atmosphere took you to authentic place with the small tables, lighted candles and old charm feel. Soup and salad were brought out immediately. The drink kept flowing. Entree of the day baked tilapia for me and beef Wellington for the wife. Hope wife get a dessert gratis. Unfortunately happy hour is Monday through Thursday but they have speciality cocktails. I'm waiting patiently for my entree to give my rating. The food was all that and a bag of chips. We laughed and eat and we're pleasantly surprised with every mouth full. The Raintree is a delicious and inviting new restaurant one must try when in St Augustine, Fl read more

Spectacular service from Kit the waiter which included a personal birthday serenade. It was over the top but made for a special memory none the less. Everything was perfectly paced and the food was very yummy. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the whole experience was delightful. My favorite part has to be the pricing on the menu. As every other restaurant has inflated their prices to the max of viability, the Raintree has not. They are still offering amazing food, lovely ambiance, and spectacular service for a reasonable price. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Very nice place and charming atmosphere! We started out with cocktails, myself having a lemon drop martini that I'm not sure had much alcohol In it. Next, we shared the tuna carpaccio which was very good. Surprisingly, a dinner salad was included with all the entrees. Haven't seen that in a long time? So it was a welcome surprise! For entrees, we had the blue cheese crusted fillet which came with mashed potatoes & fresh green beans. My husband really enjoyed this. I had the Veal San Marco with shrimp in a creamy sherry sauce, served with mashed potatoes and a carrots & green bean mixture. Very good, though the carrots were undercooked. Service was on spot and overall we liked the whole experience. read more

My partner and I dined in for Sunday brunch. I recommend reservations! We walked in and there was a little bit of a wait, but we were able to sit and order food at the bar. Matt was our bartender, he was great! I ordered the BHT panini, which was yummy. My husband ordered the seafood thermidor... The seafood thermidor was epic!! I'm excited to revisit the restaurant and try dinner! read more

The service was really good and the ambiance is great. The food is good, not exceptional. But the owners include a credit card fee in the 15 % gratuity they automatically add to the bill. I don't mind them adding a credit card surcharge, or adding a gratuity, but by sneaking the credit card surcharge into the gratuity they're just taking money away from the staff, which I think is really sneaky and slimey. Shame on the owners. read more

Overall the food was good but the service was slow. Our drinks, Moscow Mules, were perfect. As an appetizer we ordered the mussels which were good after they soaked on their broth. The included salads were ok. They consisted of mixed greens with some raisins sprinkled in and 3 tiny pretzels on the side. We then waited almost an hour for our entrees with no drink or water refills. The lobster and shrimp pasta was delicious. I wished I had gotten a tiny plate for the shells. The Beef Wellington was pretty good though cooked medium rare instead of medium. The veggies were cold but the mashed potatoes were quite good. For dessert we ordered the Granny Smith Apple Crepe. It was delicious and not too sweet. We would like to try this restaurant again. read more

Great service! Very nice building. Excellent food at good prices. Drinks were very good. I coming back.

Very lovely restaurant. It could have been a romantic meal if not for the 6 loud and obnoxious folks at the next table. We were a walk in and were accommodated easily. The fish was well prepared with veggies and my husband's shrimp dish was perfectly cooked. I would return again next time I'm in st Augustine. read more

The establishment is incredibly charming and their outdoor seating is lovely. We had a party of four on Saturday evening and we were all pleased with our meals. The service was acceptable, not amazing but efficient. And the food came out fast! Here is a note of interest, they added 15% gratuity automatically without asking. I find that a little funny. We typically tip between 20-25% unless the service is stellar or lacking. So the fact that they dump 15% on you no matter what may disincentivize their servers. Although I am sure the reason they do it is because of all the cheapskates in the world - that is just bad behavior. All entrees include a simple salad and typically when a place does this the salad is really a let down. Refreshingly, the salad they offer while simple was quite good! Our party had two prime rib meals and the portions were very fair! The meat was not the most tender prime rib, but it was very acceptable and the flavor was excellent. There were also two pasta dishes, my wife's lobster pasta was outstanding! Great flavor and the lobster was some of the most flavorful we have ever had. My sister-in-law LOVED the house made sausage! She raved about the sausage and simply could not get enough! Overall we were so happy with our experience that we are thinking of going back instead of trying some of the other restaurants while we are in town this week! Did I mention the house made sausage, my sister-in-law loves a good sausage! To those about to dine, we salute you! read more

There is a large selection on the menu, I wish I could say the same for the portions. Do not get the lobster bisque. Neither me nor my wife could eat it. Not sure what sauce it was made of but wasn't good. We got the chicken Alfredo. Very small portion large bowl and very bland on flavor. Our friends got prime rib and said it tasted great but portions of sides were very small. Garlic bread was good. Service was excellent and why I gave it three stars. read more

I was looking for different places to take my wife for a nice early dinner on the first weekend of college football. The ambiance was beautiful, we sat outside under the shade.

Don't go here if you want bad food and a bad time. Servers are absolutely fantastic, the salad you will devour in seconds. Stay away from the grasshopper milkshake unless you're walking home, it's so good , you look at bill and say I ordered 3? The beef Wellington is a truffle paste, not prosciutto and mushroom as normal. The schnitzel needs a bit of pepper in the breading. The building and the seating are really something to add to the ambiance of the place. Dog friendly outside too. Dog kept asking for a grasshopper too with the whipped cream read more
