I have lived in St Augustine for 5 years and this is my first time trying The Reef. We went for Happy Hour to check out the appetizers to get a feel for the restaurant. With a great view of the ocean it is the perfect location for a seafood restaurant. The server told me the coconut shrimp was great and i am a Calamari lover so i ordered both of those appetizers. Sorry, but the Coconut shrimp was not close to fresh and tasted like it had been fried earlier and microwaved for me. The Calamari may have been the worst i have ever eaten. Definitely not fresh and the batter was soggy and the calamari rubbery. For the first time ever i could not finish the dish. My wife had the Herb Crusted Seared Tuna and liked it, which is why they get 2 stars instead of one. The prices for dinner are extremely high for the area, considering Aunt Kates and Caps on the Water are a stone throw away. Based on the lack of freshness of the seafood i ordered, i will not come here for a main course.
