Cortesse’sĪfter over a decade of being closed, the Mediterranean restaurant at the intersection of San Marco and A1A is BACK. River and Fort also offers a more in-depth kids menu (including the fresh catch, fried shrimp, and cheeseburger sliders in addition to the more expected grilled cheese, buttered pasta and chicken fingers), so keep it in mind if you’ve brought the family to St. Pork chops, tomahawk ribeye, short ribs, New York strip, and hand-cut filets give plenty of options for those who want their protein to come from land.
It used to be a string of Mexican restaurants, but the new owners have spent almost a year renovating all of the spaces, adding an adorable courtyard, a second and third floor outdoor deck (again with firepits–are we seeing a trend here?) as well as outdoor seating in front of the city parking lot.Īlthough it’s named for the Matanzas River which empties into the bay just across the street, River and Fort is a great place to take people who don’t want to eat seafood every night (like Sandy’s meat-and-potato man dad). We’re going to talk about this building as well–it is on the other side of San Marco, right across from the fort. Open firepits are on one of the outdoor decks–it’s a sweet spot in the afternoon with a drink (or one of their 60 tequila options) from the bar. But besides the food, we love the building–there are so many spaces inside it, as well as a ton of outdoor spaces. I’m afraid we haven’t tried a lot on the menu–the salmon is so good, I can’t bear not to get it. We also love the chips and salsa–they charge for it, but definitely worth it. We love the honey lime glazed salmon (served on top of a charred Mexican street corn), the lime tequila grouper, and the carnitas. And it has some of the best food, an interesting fusion of Mexico, Latin America, and our own Floridian coast! It is the Spanish building across from the Bridge of Lions, and next to Harry’s. You’ve seen this beautiful building for years–you may still know it as the American Legion building. Augustine, but couldn’t come in 2020 or 2021, there are a BUNCH of new restaurants to try on your next visit. We are lucky to be part of such an amazing business community.Īs impressive as just surviving 2020 is, it’s a whole other level to actually open a NEW restaurant in the midst of this continuing uncertainty. They have all been so resilient–changing menus, rearranging tables, creating curbside dishes to go. Augustine, who have managed to keep their businesses open through this pandemic.
Augustine? Surprising though it is…there are quite a few!īefore I list some new places, a hat tip to the perennial favorites.
