The bartender on the second floor Sam, she is so hilarious. She definitely knows how much clothes cost in the matrix. ;-)Our server Thomas on the second floor in the bar today was awesome as well.The food here is always on another level. Thank you for having us today. It was awesome!

River & Fort is a stunning restaurant right on the bay in St. Augustine. I love the multiple levels of the restaurant, each with its own dining section. Our server was very welcoming and provided some great recommendations on what to order.I got the prime New York strip which came with 2 garlic shrimp, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. The Boursin fondue on the steak was flavorful and indulgent. I got the steak medium rare, and it was so tender and juicy. The only problem was that it had a bit more fat than expected as well as a really tough tendon that made it difficult to cut. The mashed potatoes were incredible with the juice from the steak. The broccolini was also delicious in the sauce. Really solid dish overall!

It was a fun night walking around looking at the Nights of Lights. We had made reservations before our trip at River & Fort after getting high recommendations from another Yelp friend. It was packed when we arrived but we were seated within 20 minutes after a warm welcome from the hostess and taken upstairs to the second floor. Everyone was having fun upstairs also. Music was playing fairly loud and the crowd was loud but it was tolerable. It was a few days before Christmas so everyone was in good spirits and high energy. The place was beautifully decorated!Our server was Marlou D and she was great. She was knowledgeable about the menu and had good recommendations. I ordered the Misu Glazed Salmon with Sweet Potato mash, which was very good!!I had an Iced Tea. My daughter ordered the Short Rib entrée and was happy with her choice. She ordered the Bourbon and Berries cocktail with her meal and was pleased. Marlou came around to check on us frequently, which was great.Parking was difficult to find because of the Nights of Lights going on but we managed about 1/2 a block away across the street. River & Fort is very beautiful from the outside and inside. We would definitely return there again.

Had dinner here during Christmas week.This week is the most crowded time inSt Augustine. Fortunately they take reservations. Despite being at full capacity, the serviceand food was excellent.We started with fried green tomatoes andhushpuppies. For entrees we all had the braised short ribs. The menu has a New Orleans flair.There is a full bar. There is no parking, as St Augustine is awalking town.I highly recommend this restaurant.

After a morning of walking, we stopped here to rest our feet and have a snack. We saw the rooftop from the sidewalk and thought it would be a great place to hang. It was lovely. We chose the chicken wings for our snack. A little message to eat from our spot along the railing but our server pulled up another chair to give us a make shift table. Our server was great. Perfect spot to enjoy the water and Castile from up high.

Cool spot with nice views. We arrived with some friends to grab a couple drinks and apps on the rooftop. The beignets weren't that great, but I did enjoy the wings and slaw. Gratuity is automatically charged with a part of 6 or greater. Server informed us prior to paying, which was cool.

This place has a really nice aesthetic! But good luck getting in here. We had to wait 1.5 hours to sit! When we finally did, our waitress was nice. It was also really pretty in here.The food was quite good. I had a filet salad with cucumbers tomatoes and radish. The blue cheese dressing was great! My friend had a girl dinner---Cesar salad and fries. The fries are the best type! Def recommend coming here, just come an hour early to put your name in. We came at night so we couldn't admire the view but I'd imagine it would be so nice on a nice day.

A new find for us, this place is uniquely located with amazing views from the roof top of the Mantanzas river and the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument fort.Nice staff greeted us everywhere we wandered and sparked conversations that only made for a better visit.Upon heading to the rooftop I spotted a pizza oven and asked if they could make a four-cheese pizza. They two appeared as though that was not on the menu but to ask the waiter and they would be able to make it how we'd like. The pizza turned out exactly as I'd asked and reminded me of Quattro Formaggi brick oven pizza that I'd had in past years in Europe. The crust was thin and crispy with a thin layer of sauce, just enough cheeses and topped with some basil and oregano seasonings. They've spoiled me with this one pizza and I can't wait until I return to have it again.The Blacksmith cocktail is great with Amaretto, pineapple and ginger, etc and was so good, I had to have another.Great place, highly recommended! I plan to return next time we're in St Augustine.

Excellent food from presentation to taste. I ordered the Charred Miso-Glazed Salmon. Every selection on this dish was so delicious, the whipped sweet potatoes were like a desert! Hubby ordered the Prime New York Steak, off the recommendation of our bartender (yes that's right). He is not a New York Steak kinda guy but absolutely enjoyed the cut of meat and the temperature it was cooked at. So back to the bartender, sat at the bar waiting for a table, nice atmosphere and very attentive service. When our name was called for our table we were meet with not so great service after being seated in a corner at a oh so small table so we returned to the bar to have dinner. Always a good option but sometimes a miss on service, not here. Our service was excellent. Overall for the presentation and flavors of the food and fair pricing I highly recommend.

11/05/2024There are a lots of really good restaurants in St. Augustine, but we settled for River and Fort. Great location overlooking the historic Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Kinda wish we sat up on the roof top... But, we didn't. A bit 'windy' and that's always annoying. We started with the sticky ribs which were very good but were not very "meaty" if ya know what I mean. My wife ordered the cioppino which she enjoyed while I had the Tri-tail fish (also called Triple tail). I'd never heard of this fish before, but it was very, very good as was the Cajun risotto it was served on. Great presentation too. Service and the white wine were also very good.
