Seriously, outside of Bern's in Tampa. this is the best wine list in the state . Excellent wines , rare allocations, all reasonably priced. They have many wines I would happily pay retail if I could.

Absolutely loved our meals! Wish we lived here - would dine here frequently!!! Had this for lunch : Shrimp Vilano , Peel n eat Shrimp , Stilton Salad , cornbread , She Crab Soup , and Seared Tuna Tacos .

Smoked Shrimp risotto and chicken gnocchi had amazing flavors. The atmosphere of the entire place was intimate and the sunset made its grand appearance! Our waitress Cassidy was pleasant.

Jason Brady

As always, food was fantastic. Started with calamari Vilano and she crab soup . Southwestern grouper was perfection. Grouper manchego always hits the spot. It doesn't hurt that Jose is adorable.

Another great night for dinner at Caps. Started with Vilano calamari and she crab soup . Grouper manchego consistently excellent. Blackened trigger also very good. Jose was very friendly and attentive.

Beautiful scenic views on the deck. Blackened mahi was good and the fried calamari tacos were awesome! Huge lunch portions .

Everard Lord

Blackened grouper , plantains , black beans , lemon wedges and that delightful red stuff on top of the fish . Deliciousness!!

My absolute favorite place to eat anywhere! An unbeatable combination of atmosphere and great food (and a well stocked bar ) makes this my go-to place in St. Augustine - just wish I lived closer!

Grouper , seared shrimp good picks. Bottle of vermentino (white). Garlic oysters app. They’ll do your cheesecake the way you want.

Cassie Schelldorf

Make sure your whole party is there when you go to get seated. They won't seat you until all of you are here. Head to the bar and enjoy a Mimosa or to the oyster bar outside while you wait!

Jeff Culpepper
