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.

    Columbia Restaurant was incredible! We got there about 15 mins early for our reservation and they sat us right away. We aren’t the most adventurous eaters but branched out and were NOT disappointed!! Don’t be intimidated about the long menu, the servers are great at explaining things! We had a great time!

    Wow! What a dining experience! Paul was knowledgeable and attentive with great recommendations! Lauren, our server, was sweet, kind, and made the evening special. Oh, and the food was prepared and seasoned perfectly! The ratatouille (a side item) should be its own dish. It is out of this world. I have never had anything like it. Cheers to the entire staff at La Nouvelle Bistro for a memorable evening. We will be back!

    Wonderful place to meet old friends while passing through St Augustine. We noticed the patio is dog friendly, which is a huge plus to note (even though we did not have our dog). Atmosphere and food were perfect for our lunch plans. Service was so so. Server never returned to refill or ask to refill beverages.
