5 /5 Andy O: The Boathouse St. Augustine 160 Nix Boat Yard Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32084 Perched along the intracoastal waterway, The Boathouse St. Augustine captures everything you want from a true Florida waterfront dining experience—fresh flavors, relaxed elegance, and views that linger long after the meal is over. With marsh grasses swaying, boats gliding by, and sunsets painting the sky in soft golds and pinks, this is the kind of place where time naturally slows down. The menu strikes a beautiful balance between coastal classics and creative flair. Fresh seafood is the star, whether it’s expertly prepared crab cakes, pristine raw bar selections, or thoughtfully crafted sushi that rivals many dedicated sushi spots. Each dish arrives vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor, clearly made with care rather than shortcuts. Vegetarian options are equally well-considered, ensuring there’s something satisfying for every palate. Weekend brunch adds another layer of appeal, making it a destination from morning to night. The expansive outdoor deck—with its inviting fire pit—sets the tone for easygoing sophistication, while live music and a well-stocked full bar keep the atmosphere lively without ever feeling overwhelming. Service is polished yet warm, attentive without hovering, and genuinely welcoming—exactly what you hope for in a place that sees both locals and visitors alike. With ample parking, excellent food, and consistently great service, The Boathouse isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Whether you’re stopping in for sunset cocktails, a seafood-forward dinner, or a laid-back brunch by the water, this St. Augustine gem delivers every time.

5 /5 Dalton Kendig: Beautiful location!! Would love to come back here in the summer to sit outside. Great view of marsh out back from where we sat. Waiter was attentive. Even though they didn’t have sushi or steak available the evening that we visited, we were able to find something for everyone. Food was fresh, not greasy, and light. I recommend the salmon dinner!!

5 /5 Graves Ed: Finally got around to posting a review after our 4th visit here. First and foremost, our serves Sarah and Mary M. were absolutely fantastic and on point. The ambiance here is always superb. I choose the pick 2 every time I’m here. The trigger fish and mahi mahi blackened have always been full of flavor and perfectly cooked. As well as the bacon collard greens. The shrimp and cheese tortellini is my girlfriend’s favorite, she looks forward to it every trip. If you are a struggling local restaurant owner, you need to eat here. You will see what a quality, well executed restaurant is supposed to operate like. Their food will teach you a lot. From the staff, the settings, the food and beyond this place blows every other spot out of the water. If you don’t eat here you don’t know what you’re missing. Great spot for a date, quick meal, or any other reason to eat fish period. Can’t wait to come back.
