Quote:St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach are two entirely different places.  My wife and I got to St. Augustine Beach to eat and hang out quite often.  Most of the stuff in St. Augustine Beach is a bit more on the casual dining side of things.  Some of our favorite beachie kinds of places to go are:

 

The Sunset Grille

The Oasis

Salt Water Cowboy's

Red Frog and McToad's

 

Personally, I don't think you can't go wrong on any of the above but my favorite is the Sunset Grille.

 

You'll find places a little less casual in St. Augustine proper.  Some were mentioned.  One of my all time favorites, Caps, isn't actually in St. Augustine, but in Vilano Beach...maybe a 15 minutes drive.  If you get there at the right time you can hang out on the deck and watch the sun set over the Vilano River.  .  If you go there, you gotta try the Florida Gumbo as your appetizer
