    Never take the time to make a review, but will do for this one trying to keep it short: Even with a reservation, we waited to be seated 30 minutes. I specified that we were 4 people and an infant and needed space for the stroller; but we were seated in a table for 2 with to extra chairs and no space for the stroller. In our faces the server instead of bringing a clean tablecloth for the table, just flipped over the dirty tablecloth and said “that’s how we do it here”. Also, extremely rude and condescending when asked to repeat and clarify something and literally said “I just said that, you didn’t hear it the first time?” to a none native English speaker. After ordering, waited another hour for the food to come to the table. Worst experience ever in town. Never coming back.

    Old City House is my favorite restaurant in all of St Augustine. It has that perfect old world ambience. The courtyard is quaint and romantic. The food is absolutely delicious and lavishly decorated. This restaurant also makes the best margarita in town! The wait staff is top shelf. I can’t wait to go back very soon. I highly recommend this hidden gem of our beloved St Augustine 💜

    We reserved the Old City House on the "Night of Lights" ceremony. Incredible traffic aside, we arrived on time a little bit frazzled. Our hostess greeted us with a "Happy 25th Anniversary." Immediately, all the stress left us as our server made us feel at home with a warm smile. Her expertise was welcomed, as she reviewed the night's specials and the menu. We ordered a bottle of wine along, with, the mushroom soup and a special salad as our appetizers. I ordered the pork Osso Bucco while my wife had the evening's special fish entree. The timing of everything served was impeccable. The food was outstanding. Coming from NYC, we found the Old City House to be as fine of a restaurant as any in NYC. Now, for the piece de resistance, the restaurant came out with an exquisite dessert on a platter, which was, decorated with "Happy Anniversary." Kudos, to the chef and all the staff who made us feel at home. We will always make the Old City House a destination when we come to St. Augustine.

    Wine was good and food when it finally arrived. Reservation for 6 people at 7pm. Placed order within 10 mins. Almost finished 2 bottles of wine before food arrived after 8pm. Nice place, very clean.
