We were looking for a place to celebrate a birthday, preferably somewhere we had not previously dined. While that can always be tricky, the menu looked good with quite a few options and the location was reasonable to reach (right after rush hour) and they had both off street parking and valet service. City Grille exceeded my expectations! Our waiter, Pasha, was excellent. He explained all the food options and explained that the chef could accommodate pretty much any food allergies, even making several dishes with vegetable stock rather than using a meat stock. The meal was leisurely and not rushed. We spent nearly 2.5 hours having dinner and to be clear, the courses were served in a timely manner, but we were able to eat each course without feeling rushed. We'll definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends and will return.

M Brothers is Jacksonville's best kept secret. One would not expect such a high level of dining from a restaurant located inside of a clinic, but it is outstanding. Dalvin over see all details to make everyone's dining experience one to remember.

We had excellent personalized service, including a birthday desert for each of the birthday boys. Food was thoughtfully prepared and accommodated food sensitivities for one of our guests. We have enjoyed Bluefish previously and will definitely return again!!

The Reef of St. Augustine

St. Augustine

About the restaurant

The Reef, originally called Comptons, was built by the Usina family on a beautiful piece of oceanfront property, owned by the family for generations, located on tranquil North Beach, three miles north of the Usina Bridge. Comptons opened in 1989 and enjoyed great success for the next ten years. It closed in 1999 due to the ill health of Mr. Compton and hurricane damage. There are few remaining true Oceanfront restaurants in Northeast Florida, and of those, The Reef, commands the most spectacular views. Sit at any table inside and the view is dynamic to say the least, or enjoy the recently rebuilt and expanded deck where you not only look out at The Ocean, you listen to it too as the waves break and the birds cry. To complement this vista Chef Denzel Aponte' has created a menu primarily of fish and seafood balanced with beef, poultry pasta and creative specials, always fresh and sourced locally whenever possible.
