    Great place to relax and enjoy fine dining. Atmosphere fantastic, service very good. Only complaint is they add 18% gratuity to your bill. I would have left 25% for a tip...not doing it when it's automatically added to your bill....what if the service was not good? Don't like this but otherwise a great place to eat.

    I absolutely LOVE my time at Raintree from the time I arrive until I left. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the environment was everything I could have hoped for. I had the prime rib and it was delicious and the mash potatoes made me want the recipe! You will not be disappointed with this restaurant. The guest were even awesome!! I drove in from Daytona and it was worth the drive. I will definitely be back.

    We’re giving The Raintree 4 paws. Knowing our humans were taking us to St Augustine for the night we made a reservation to ensure we and they would have a comfortable dinner. The sun wouldn’t set for another couple hours however the outdoor patio offered plenty of sunny and partly shaded areas. The tables weren’t cramped. We were able to lay on the ground and not be anyone’s way, especially the servers. We were brought bowls of water along with our humans and given fresh refills when the water got low. Our humans really enjoyed their meals. The Prime Rib was served to the requested done level and an au ju that hinted with rosemary. Also ordered was the Pork Schnitzel which was delicious, just right crisp. Both meals came with fresh salads and well prepared fresh vegetables accompanied the main meal. We will nudge our humans to return to The Raintree.

    Beautiful restaurant, wonderful staff, yet over priced and pretentious food. They’re trying very hard, I can definitely tell. However, most of the expensive food was very bland for spending nearly $300. The duck wing appetizer was the best thing our party of 3 tried. We ordered a Wellington with 6oz lobster tail, a Prime Rib and a 9oz filet. The only thing that was the least bit remarkable about the entrees was the filet. This was a bit of a letdown as we were very excited to try this spot. Hopeful they will improve their menu.

    We went for Sunday brunch. The food was fine, the wait staff was fine and the ambiance was fine. It was overall and ok experience but given our other experiences in town this weekend it was just ok. I would go back and try the dinner service. I heard that was fantastic.

    Raintree Restaurant is one of our favorite "go to" places in St. Augustine for dinner or Sunday Brunch, particularly when we are hosting a visit with friends or family. Their service is outstanding and their menu quite appealing to a variety of palates. We can definitely say we have never had a bad meal, whether ordering off of their menu or ordering from the day's specials.

    We were originally going to be seated in a large dining room that was extremely noisy! It was a little breezy, but comfortable, so we decided to sit outside under the gazebo! I had the peppercorn fillet and it was rare rather than medium as I had ordered! My wife did not like the Beef Wellington!  Overall, not a great experience for our 11th wedding anniversary!

    Ordered the Benedict Arnold and the english muffin was super burnt. I gave this place a second try after at least 6 months and it was still the same experience. I ordered the same dish and the english muffin was burnt then as well. I had to ask for a steak knife to cut through it because it was so tough. I ended up not even eating it. $17 for a burnt english muffin is insane! The service was super disappointing. I took my friend and we drove 2 hrs for a mediocre experience at best. The waitress cared about serving the bigger tables significantly more. Had to ask for refills of water each time. Took 10 minutes to get a to-go box and check. Gratuities is automatically added to your check. No matter if it's one person or a group. 15% plus an additional 2% was shown on my receipt. This will be the last time I ever come here.

    My sincere apologies for the error on our part I have refunded your check to your credit card. We always try to take care of our customers and I appreciate you for letting me know of our mistakes so we can correct going forward. Thank you Lorna MacDonald owner/operator

    Took myself out to dinner alone , which is not easy for a widow but I was treated courteously. The lobster bisque was the perfect way to start an experience. Had the lobster and jumbo shrimp pasta which was exceptional. And followed it all with a root beer float. Ahhhhh. It is always a mandatory stop when I visit St Augustine.
