Asado life is absolutely amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! The dessert was scrumptious! Everything was a 10/10! The outside seating by the water is very relaxing and has great views.

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.

We had a fantastic experience at the Refinery while celebrating our anniversary! Patrick was exceptional; he was right on top of everything, we never waited for anything all night. We had the smoked salmon bites and shrimp cocktail for apps, delish. I had the flounder and husband had the tuna. Also, brussel sprouts, salads and soup. Our friends ordered the scallops and salmon and everyone raved about the dinner! My wine was yummy too! Will definitely go back for a special occasion because the view is absolutely stunning right on the ocean, Perfect!!
