We were lucky to grab a table late in the seating for the evening. Situated in a renovated old house, this has to be a highlight of your dining adventure. You have seating options: inside, outside on the broad porch or in a detached courtyard. No bar area to wait for your seating but they will bring you drinks.

We absolutely loved our dinner at Preserved. Tucked into a residential neighborhood just outside the “old city” this restaurant is a real treat. When making the reservation we had noted it was our anniversary. They started us with a choice of sparkling wine or a dessert later – we opted for the wine so we could toast to ourselves!! We started with roasted oysters – perfectly cooked so they were warm but not chewy and covered in a perfect balance of Parmesan and garlic. The salads were excellent and the dressings – obviously scratch made – brought out, not drowned out, the delicate flavors. Our mains were a fresh fish and fantastic pork chop. We sat in the outside patio, not on the terrace of the building – so I never even walked in. The patio was laid out very well, the exception we were a little too close to our neighbors (can I tell you all about their daughters upcoming bridal shower – yes, I can!) and I think that is because our table was placed under a umbrella, which would make sense for brunch which they also are known for. Parking is available behind the restaurant. Take a trip off the beaten path. It is well worth it.

This was the best visit to this restaurant. I walked in early without a reservation and was seated in the elegantly decorated courtyard. With the historic home and restaurant within view, I enjoyed a full course meal under a grove of citrus trees. The ambiance is delightful, as there were heaters and an outdoor fire pit, calming, smooth jazz, and excellent table side service. Natalie and her team made me feel very welcomed and appreciated for my visit. The food was phenomenal as well, I ordered the tomato bisque and the duck breast special. This place is hands down one of the best in north Florida.

We understood that reservations were preferred for dinner service (especially for a table of 4), but we took a shot and arrived promptly at 4pm for dinner service. The hostess warmly welcomed us and quickly seated us in the charming outdoor garden. The wine list is fantastic! The Charcuterie board was very unique and delicious-this is not your normal selection of meats and cheeses- a lot of time went into creating the house made selections- we loved the duck prosciutto! (Thank you to the chef!) Order the Roasted East Coast Oysters-they are amazing- our table was fighting over who would get the last one! All our entrees were freshly prepared and service was outstanding. This is now our favorite restaurant in St. Augustine.

Our experience at Preserved was absolutely wonderful. Our food was absolutely delicious and our server, Diane, was even better. She was so helpful and kind, and she even took the time to chat with us through out the evening. This restaurant has such a unique professional and calming atmosphere and as St.Augustine locals, my boyfriend and I have officially put Preserved at the top of our list of favorites. The staff truly makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks again!!

Located in the beautiful Lincolnville neighborhood of St. Augustine, the Preserved offers a fine dining experience in a beautiful setting. Just a short walk from the city center, the Preserved offers locals and guests to the “Ancient City” a chance to enjoy a dining experience, a bountiful wine list, and a delicious menu. After a week’s stay, our dinner was truly special. Definitely on our must return list.

A star above the rest. Well prepared entree with a professional flair. I had the flounder with crawfish sauce. It was nicely prepared with skin removed. The apple pudding was to die for – handsomely spiced with bourbon. The service was excellent. Special thanks to Sarah for getting us the outside seating and being so patient with us. Will be back whenever we are back in St. Augustine.

Preserved came highly recommended and let’s say it did not disappoint. In my party we ordered, the porkchops, short ribs and shrimp and grits! Each dish beautifully presented by Chef Brian. I thoroughly enjoyed the briased short rib, fork tender beautiful demi glaze, nicely seasoned. The porkchops cooked medium were juicy and delicious. The shrimp and grits were really fantastic as well, especially the stone ground grits!

What a wonderful dining experience for our family of 9! From the time I made the reservation, asking us if we are celebrating anything and any allergies in our party – so attentive! Waitress was on point – everyone was so friendly and the food, OMG! Best ever, everyone of us finished everything on our plates. Highly recommend, but make reservations!
