Beaches at Vilano

Beaches at Vilano was absolutely amazing! I had the Linguini and Clams, and it was perfection. The portion was huge, with about 12 to 14 little neck clams cooked to perfection. The buttery, garlicky, light sauce tied it all together--so flavorful and satisfying.Afterward, we headed to the tiki bar outside, and what a treat that was! The atmosphere was fantastic, with a laid-back vibe and a lovely view that made the experience even better. The bartender was amazing--super friendly and attentive--and it was so sweet to see her young daughter working there as well. Great service at both the restaurant and the bar made the visit unforgettable.This spot is a gem, from the delicious food to the welcoming staff and the stunning view. I can't wait to come back! sorry about the photos it was cloudy that day but will update with some great ones soon.

Nice day for a late lunch or early dinner. Restaurant has an indoor (bar and seating area) along with an outside (pier/deck) bar with a lot of seating for dinner guest. Good views of the river/inlet.Waitress-Jen, she did a good job BHouse Margaritas- Not good, so sweet and didn't taste any tequila DAppetizer-Nacho Grande, not good, cold nacho cheese food from the can D+Dinners-Sunset Shrimp Tacos, very average onion rings, but the tacos were excellent B+Marley Burger, good but not great. B-Bucket of beers (5 Bud Lights) for $15 A-Atmosphere-B+, probably a fun place to get drunk in your 20's and 30's

December 28th, 2024 7pm ish: After fighting the St. Augustine traffic no-one wanted to go out to eat. I looked up Beaches and they had take out. I tried to call them and place the order but no one answered. Since it was close to where we were staying I decided pick up the food. I got to the restaurant and they were busy, I was told to place an order at the bar. I approached the bartender and asked to place a too go order. I was asked how many orders, I told them 5. This bartender asked another bartender. I told the other bartender that there ad claimed take out service. His response was "If it rang more than twice we are too busy to answer the phone. We also can't do a take out order we are just too busy.". I said I was willing to wait 30 to 45 minutes. Again, he stated just too busy, tickets are backed up, kitchen is trying to keep up." Aunt Kate's is down the street.!!We had gone to Beaches in 2023. Had and a great meal. I tipped the waitress an additional $100 since it was busy and it was holiday time. I think the bartender was lazy and just didn't want my business. This year when I go to St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra we will NOT be go to Beaches but go to Aunt Kate's or Caps.

After being on the beach and starting to get hangry, this Bachelorette group of ours needed so appetizers and maybe a few more drinks. We were down the street from this restaurant, and based on the reviews, we decided to give it a try. We sat at the inside bar to soak up the AC. There were plenty of people outside, though with an additional bar and lots of umbrella tables. Our bartender was great. He managed our group of 6 well while taking all of our orders. I ordered the strawberry lemonade cocktail that was on the menu, and it was so refreshing and delicious. I'm not one for a lot of mixers, and it really didn't have much in it, which I liked. I also ordered a side of fries to snack on. The fries were hot and crispy. Other girls raved about the shrimp appetizer and the Pina coladas.This is a solid choice for good food and drinks!

Set on at beautiful Vilano Beach near St. Augustine, this place is WELL worth looking up. The best Shrimp and Grits I have ever had, topped with andouille sausage and a SUPER tasty garlic sauce. The staff as well, is friendly and happy to serve. I'm visiting from California, but, this place makes me want to return to Florida A.S.A.P.!!

Place was great for eating outside. Food was mediocre, not my style at all. Drinks were pricey & okay also not the best I've had. The plantains were good the rice tasted buttery not quite what I was expecting it to taste like. Sevice was okay, they were very busy, and it took a while to get the check.

You can't go wrong with having dinner at Beaches. Cool place with a great beach vibe going for it. The service was friendly although it was extremely busy and I'm sure the servers were stressed. The Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa was out of this world and cooked nicely. Not rubbery at all. They have a beautiful trigger fish sandwich that looks delicious and I was told that it most definitely was delicious. Would recommend if you are in St. Augustine area.

The food was absolutely delicious. And our server Rylea was great. The place was tucked back by the river with beautiful views.

The second it hit 30 minutes before close the servers started dragging chairs and tables all around the dining room. They had no care or concern for anybody still dining. We actually left because of it. This was ridiculous 30 minutes before closing time.Although the food was good, it doesn't make up for the terrible service.

From the moment wanted in the door everything was great! Hostess was awesome! Our server Emma was wonderful and the food was excellent!! We will come back for sure!!
