La Nouvelle

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!

Everything about the experience was great but the French wine list stole the show. The 2021 Philippe et Arnaud Dubreuil Savigny-les-Beaune was fantastic. Obligatory french onion soup was delicious. Traditional sole and duck confit were also amazing.We sat on the porch and watched the rain. This house has been a great Lincolnville location since it was Preserved.

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.

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-BRESTpratine creme mousseline. Very tasty. Great final bite for our meal.

Outstanding! I highly recommend La Nouvelle for fine dining in St. Augustine. It showcases French cuisine with an elevated flare. A perfect date night spot nestled along the romantic streets of our historic city.

Beautiful, romantic, unique and fantastic service. We had the trio pate and escargot appetizer. Divine. The lobster bisque was exquisite. Main course was exotic and perfect: duck confi , short rib special, sword fish steak and bouillabaisse seafood. The bread was fresh made, the butter was creamy and light , the flavors are layered with every course. The deserts : chess cake, blueberry tarts, chocolate and pastries were just amazing. It's a dinner experience you will not forget !!!

My family went in for lunch and I can say the French onion soup, escargot, crab cake and burger were delicious. The last time my family was in town the restaurant was The Preserve. Now, new owners and new menu. The day was beautiful but the previous restaurant was missed, especially the warm loving service. Our simple lunch took 2.5 hours and the manager did comp a dessert for us but we won't be in a rush to go back. I do think it's worth a try if tasty food is your jam....just don't ask for a bit of butter unless you're ready to pay $4.

When on girls trip we always have dinner here. In the words of my foodie sister "there is not one thing in this menu, I wouldn't eat". Every time we visit every detail is perfect from the staff to the food. They thought out every detail to ensure your experience is pure perfection. The wine selection is awesome, the food, dessert and even the ambiance. The building itself is amazing and their courtyard is something I dream of. If you are looking for an experience book your reservation today.

Delicious!!!! Everything was cooked perfectly and Claudio our waiter is a 5 star waiter!!! Claudio going to get tired of me I am always going to ask for him!! My wife's quiche she said was fabulous!! Croque Monsieur sandwich was excellent!!! We ordered a side of duck fat potatoes excellent and Baquettes were very good. We ordered the crème brûlée very good! The wine was 2018 Chateau Galochet Rouge very good!!!we live close by and definitely will be back. Special thanks to Ashley that took my reservation over the phone. What a great professional employee and communicator!

Just go. That is all you need to know. Sure, I'll rave about this place but really, that's all you need to know - just get a reservation and enjoy an excellent meal in a wonderful restaurant. Ok, our experience started by arriving early on a clear starry evening and enjoying a glass of wine at the outdoor bar. Once inside, I noted several intentional details about the dining room including velvet curtains and sound attenuating panels camouflaged into the wall decor which made the atmosphere simultaneously intimate and familial. Even the HVAC diffusers were dispersed to (presumably) eliminate breezy hot/cold spots and ensure comfort. Loved the attention to detail. Then the warm staff walked us through the menu, specials and their recommendations. It was a thoughtful, intentional menu that provided several mouth watering options for every palette. We relaxed our way through each delicious course, from salted butter baguettes and lobster bisque (which is the new benchmark by which all lobster bisque's will be judged) to perfect entrees of duck confit and steak au poivre. There are many reasons to revisit St. Augustine but a dinner reservation at La Nouvelle is at the top of our list. Well done.
