    This restaurant is beautiful. We understand they recently redecorated and it looks like a Moroccan scene with arched entryways and middle eastern style. A piano player fills the place with all types of music which is one reason you know you’re not in Algiers. The other is the fantastic menu items which were strongly American. We had a prime filet that was very tender and tasty and a two inch thick grouper that matched. The waitress had been there for four years and was able to cover her stations with easy. Always available and cheerful. This was a special occasion (birthday) and we were served a complimentary dessert. Wow! What a spectacular event for us!

    Raintree is one of our favorite restaurants in St. A. We made reservations and the table was ready right on time. Laszlo did an excellent job of caring for us during the meal. Very friendly and efficient. Debbie had the Baked Salmon and I had the Mahi Picatta. Both meals were excellent in taste and quantity. Raintree adds a 15% tip / gratuity to all meals. You are informed of that upfront. It's also on the menu and on the check. We have been there several times now and they have never disappointed.

    We were disappointed when we found that the St. Aug Beach location was closed, so were thrilled to hear that this restaurant had re-located from St. Aug Beach to the Sabastian Winery building. Many great meals in the past. They are warming into the new space which is nice and will only get better. The food is terrific! Don't miss the Escargot and any of the entrees will not be a miss! We ordered the Gambas & the Short Ribs. The Shrimp was served over pureed cauliflower & some veggies & a bit of Chimichurri around the edges, which was a delightful surprise and so much lighter than mashed potatoes, so the taste of the blacked Red Shrimp could come through. The Short Ribs were crazy good as well. Tender and delicious! The portions are significant for all items ordered and the value is very good. Our server George was a pro. Attentive and not overbearing. A great night and a great meal! We'll be back! Thank you.

    Overall, the food and chef's creations were excellent, truly fine dining. Service was excellent - well informed on the menu, had opinions on wine selection and were attentive during the evening. Definitely recommend. One detail - For dining at this level and expense - would think they would have a full liquor license.
