Alta Marea, St. Augustine FL

I’m so sad to see they’ve gone out of business! Hoping they find less expensive rent and reopen

We visit St Augustine often and hadn’t had a chance to try the new restaurant. It was on our list until we walked by and my son saw the chef making whipped cream in the window on day. They were so kind and promptly brought him a spoonful to try. He immediately wanted to go out to eat. We made dinner reservations for the next night and had such a great time. The cocktails were perfect. My husband said they made an excellent old fashioned. Everything we ordered for dinner was fabulous. I’m so happy there’s a lovely new Italian restaurant here.

Made reservations with confirmation for Saturday night 7: 15pm, arrived and the place was closed. Hours listed on various sites show as open. Was to have been a celebration event. Was easy to find another hospitable and delicious restaurant nearby.

Excellent, from my initial conversation with the owner to rent the restaurant during off hours for my sons Rehersal dinner. The communication, follow through, and tip service from all staff members was truly amazing. The food, sauce, dessert and wine was more than expected. I have 30years experience in the business and they truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for being so accommodating.

This is a cute place with good food, great service, and a decent atmosphere. We enjoyed a date night out here while stopping by for a night in Saint Augustine.

Food was amazing! Customer service was great! All employees were nice and helpful! Definitely recommended, would come back!

Delightful service and attention, gray recommendations from our server, really wonderful experience and amazing food!

Visited this restaurant while on vacation. Great looking place and atmosphere was nice. Our seafood risotto lacked flavor. We usually order risotto if on menu when we eat out and have to say sadly it lacked flavor for both wife and I. Appetizers was good and drinks also good. Service was great.

Waited ~40 minutes to get my food and ate it in 5 minutes. The food tasted okay but it's not worth the price.

The tuna tartare appetizer was so bland I had to ask for some basalmic glaze just so it would have some flavor to it. The rigatoni had whole black peppercorns in it and my husband was having to spit them out between bites and the filet mignon pieces were tough. We had water to drink and the bill was $60. We were expecting a nice Italian meal like we would get in NYC and a meal at Burger King would have been much more appetizing!

Great staff, awesome food. We each tried a different special and both were prepared to perfection. Let staff select a wine pairing and you will not be disappointed.

THE FOOD ARRIVED COLD TO THE TABLE. THERE IS NO VARIETY OF FOOD. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. THE MANAGER WAS BAD THAT THE FOOD WAS HEATING. UNPROFESSIONAL

Don’t waste your time and money. Leaving bay leaves and whole peppercorns in the ragu is an amateur’s mistake. Flavors are poorly balanced. Even the cocktails were a fail. Empty restaurant should have been our warning sign…

If you want to experience a real Italian service, that's the place you should go.everydish is delicious with 5 start service.no ice in the water, no paper napkin on the table. Mama mia, am l at Milano? ;) enjoy

True Italian restaurant. The best meal dining out all weekend in St. Augustine. Strongly recommended - bravo to the chef and staff! We had the octopus salad, the risotto frutti di mare, paccheri, and tiramisu. Everything was fresh and delicious. The food was light yet filling. We'll definitely return soon. Ciao!

This place is amazing, definitely recommend. The wine selection is also something to check out, it the food is just amazing! Thank y’all for an amazing time

Wanted some fine dining rather than local fried food places and our meals were disappointing. Wild boar dish over cooked.
Lamb chops under cooked. Beet salad was the best part of the meal and the easiest to make. Never given opportunity to comment on our meal nor offered coffee.

We went on date night. The ambiance was nice. It was bright and well decorated. It was a little loud- the sound seemed to carry. The food was good, they offered different items and flavor profiles such as wild boar and octopus. Beautiful presentation as well. We enjoyed our time but in my honest opinion there are better quiet date night restaurants.

Nothing like having dinner tonight and seeing a waitress with a bathroom plunger walking through the back of the restaurant. Unbelievable.

All the employees are friendly and cater to your experience, everything that includes food and drinks are made to order which is great, you are not receiving McDonald's quality style food. Their bread salad is delicious filled with flavor, making you want more, the pistachios covered lamb is very flavorful, might not seem like much but one bite will say it all. Come here and enjoy a relaxing night in St. Augustine, it's worth it.
