Hubby and I are visiting St. Augustine as a pseudo 2nd honeymoon (though with laptops in hand, it hardly qualifies as such.) Anyway, the information we read boasted "Casual dining." It may have been naivity, but we were expecting like Applebee's-ish casual dining -- not so! If you're going here, don't wear jeans. It feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, so if you find yourself in the MON, you're in the right spot. To your east side will be nothing but water. We arrived around sunset and were impressed with the view (though the sun set on the opposite side of the restaurant's view) and casual elegance of the restaurant. Our server, Douglas, was friendly and knowledgable about the menu. The man that appeared to be the owner went around greeting people and ensuring they were satisfied -- and boy, were we! I'm not kidding - THE best key lime pie you will EVER taste -- incredible. We split a bottle of wine and had an appetizer, 2 mains (lobster tail & combo with mahi-mahi, shrimp, and scallops), and 1 dessert, and the bill was only $80 (wine was $30, mind you.) The food was presented beautifully on the plate that made you want to savor every bite (and we did!) We only have one more night here, and we may spend it going back to this charming restaurant. We highly reccomend it! Quick tip - if you get the local coupon books (you know, the kind you find in the slots at hotels) there is a 10% off coupon in one of them. Enjoy!!
