• Seafood • St. Augustine

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.

    Fantastic experience! Staff was SO welcoming and attentive. Loved the Pear Wine Sangria which was crisp and clean, not overly sweet. Loved the Lobster Bisque, Pear Salad and Rack of Lamb. And the Tres Leche Cake—YUM! We’d like to come back to the rooftop bar which had a very cool vibe. Highly Recommend La Cocina!

    We were fortunate to enjoy another celebration at Michael’s St. Augustine before they close on 12/31/24. Thank you for 5 great years of wedding and anniversary celebrations! We look forward to keeping our tradition alive at one of your other restaurants in 2025. If you haven’t experienced the great food, warm ambiance, and attentive service of Michael’s, do yourself a favor and book before they close!

    Cozy and warm Christmas atmosphere. The food was delicious, we had the triple tail with corn salad and I can honestly say it was the best fish I have had in a long time. It was cooked to perfection. Our server was courteous, patient and very professional. I love this hidden gem. it was our second time in two weeks
