Collage

My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. The service was great and the atmosphere was intimate. The food was incredible, it was the best pasta I’ve ever had. The bread with the basil infused olive oil and roasted garlic was a great way to start the meal. We also loved the pallet cleanser sorbet! We will definitely be back here for another date night!

Collage Restaurant delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had — truly a top 10 meal for us. From the moment we sat down, our server Stephen was outstanding. He was warm, friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on and made the entire experience feel relaxed and special. We started with the seasonal special of grilled tenderloin on toast points, which was absolutely delicious and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We also had both the special sausage soup and the corn chowder — and they were kind enough to split them into two cups for us, which we really appreciated. Both soups were rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The Caesar salad with house made dressing was also incredible. For entrées, I had the tenderloin filet with mashed potatoes, Bordelaise sauce, and seasonal broccolini — perfectly cooked, beautifully balanced, and unforgettable. Kevin ordered the lobster ravioli, which was equally incredible and decadent without being overwhelming. Dessert somehow managed to be just as amazing. We shared the donuts and the espresso chocolate cake, both of which were phenomenal. To top it all off, it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a special little rum butter birthday cake. I felt genuinely celebrated and so well taken care of — such a thoughtful and memorable touch. Every single dish was exceptional, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was intimate and welcoming. We will absolutely be back and will enthusiastically recommend Collage to anyone visiting or living in St. Augustine. An unforgettable experience from start to finish.

The food was absolutely delicious! I came here about 3-4 years ago for my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner, and I could never stop thinking about how delightful everything was. The only reason I didn’t come back sooner is because it’s a far drive, but honestly, it’s worth it. I’ll definitely be waiting as long as I did last time. A1 service and a very relaxed environment.

Holiday visit for two sisters post the Saint Augustine bed-and-breakfast tour and to enjoy the nights of lights! The service and responsiveness from hostess and wait staff were outstanding. This is a small establishment so we were thrilled to have a fabulous table in the corner. We both enjoyed our food and wine. I have deducted one star for something I believe is just silly for a restaurant of this type to demand. We asked for a second basket of bread and our server said that there would be an additional charge. Seriously – given the expense of this restaurant please just put that fee into somewhere else. It was demeaning. This may have been a one time visit.

Everything was really amazing. Great valentines day spot. Our server Gage I believe killed it everything was timed perfectly and drinks were full the whole time. Had the corn chowder, ahi tuna, scallops appetizer, 2 filets, and the brûlée. All great options, thanks again. Also the complimentary bread, roasted garlic, and strawberry sorbet palette cleanser was definitely a really nice touch. We are locals and will be back.

Having no lack of fine dining experiences, Collage was fantastic in every aspect. How intimate dining should be. Warm, fluffy baked bread served with fresh roasted garlic, inviting atmosphere, perfected menu options and attentive service.  Our party of four shared 3 delicious appetizers, 4 perfect entrées, and 3 bottles of medium-priced wine, for a total of $500 with tip. VERY happy with our choice to dine here. We had escargot, carpaccio and seared scallops wrapped in prosciutto for appetizers. While we thought salt was needed for some of us, they were each excellent. For entrees, the gentlemen had tenderloin steaks with choice of sauces and additional toppings. Melt in your mouth tender and delicious to perfection.  The ladies had black grouper and veal scallopini orleans.  The veal was delicious, and even though the steaks were perfect, the black grouper was absolutely outstanding. We all agreed the black grouper entree was the award winner. 

Nice and intimate 5 star restaurant, beautifully decorated, and absolutely excellent table service. The tenderloin and surf and turf were exquisite. We were there for our 5th wedding anniversary and they complimented us with a delicious dessert. Big heartfelt thank you to our waitress Kate who made our dining experience amazing!

We had dinner for our anniversary. All of the staff was very attentive, it was touching how many times we were congratulated on our anniversary. We had the scallops with squid ink risotto and the scallops and shrimp imperiale. Both dishes were superb. It is difficult to find a place with high quality diver caught scallops. It is the only way to ensure the scallops don’t have sand in them. These were perfection!! We declined an offer of dessert as we were both full, and then our server brought out a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. That timing felt odd. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

My husband and I loved this place. The ambiance was cozy and the food was outstanding! My husband had the rack of lamb and I had the duo di manzo. Both we so well crafted, every bite was delicious. We will be back for sure! Service was warm and welcoming! Perfect spot for an intimate dinner with loved ones!

Wow, wow, wow. Fantastic food and service. Ambiance was perfect - only 15 tables and they do not rush you at all. They know how to serve course by course - kudos! A must go to place in St. Augustine!

Great place to dine especially after a dreading Helene hurricane. Enjoyed the complimentary bread with basil infused olive oil with garlic. Along with that, we ordered gambas which has a creole New Orleans flavor to it. For the main entree, we ordered the special of the day and the pork chop. Pork chop was perfectly cooked at medium. Polenta and Brussels sprouts were great combination for it.

I can't say enough about this place not only do. I love Saint Augustine in general but Christmas time it's magical and this place is where we go for a tradition to eat every time during Christmas during our vacation in Saint Augustine. They have five star class act staff everyone from the cook, the hostess all the servers Everybody the food is exceptional. The taste is mouthwatering. My pictures will do it and no justice. I always get the filet mignon and lobster tail with the Holiday sauce on top of it and they're brown burgundy sauce underneath broccoli their tuna tartare is amazing everything there is amazing never ever had a bad meal there. they now even give you a sorbet between your meals to clean your pallet to give you a better taste of your next meal coming up so you can get a full taste of it which I love you. Never really see that and they do that there that's top notch. They stepped it all up since the last time I went there years ago every year it gets better.

Ambiance, food, service, was all overall fantastic! I loved their Cesar; which I never eat but they made everything from scratch so I gave it a try and loved it. The sorbet pallet cleanser was amazing! A tad bit sweet but my favorite! The surf and turf sauce was unnecessary but I loved the steak. Lobster ravioli was not my style.

Delightful and delectable experience! Collage is a small restaurant and advanced reservations are highly recommended if not required to secure a table! I visited during the holidays and made reservations in advanced and set alerts to find a better time which luckily, we were able to grab. I was a bit thrown off by the ambiance which was simple- two small rooms with close seating, no bar.. however, we were pleasantly surprised! The service was attentive and meals were timed perfectly. The wine selection was also decent. To start, the bread was flakey, crispy, warm, homemade and fresh-- served with a side of smashed garlic. For an appetizer, we ordered gambas al ajillo -- shrimp seemed a bit overcooked and I personally did not care for the flavor but I figured I'd try it out. For our entree, we both had 8oz beef tenderloin, one dish with truffle butter and one with signature steak sauce- I preferred the truffle butter over the steak sauce. The crisp char-grilled filet was cooked to perfection, as ordered, and was tender and tasteful. The whipped mashed potatoes and broccolini were a perfect addition with the dish, with the broccolini roasted just right. For dessert, we ended with crème brûlée- also not a disappointment. We left with leftovers and nearly had an entire meal the next day. I think we dreamt about this meal the rest of the trip and definitely plan to return should I visit St. Augustine again!

This was a lovely place for dinner. We went early so it easy to find street parking. They served warm bread with basil infused olive oil and roasted garlic. For the appetizer, we tried the shrimp With spicy sauce which also came with warm bread. The sauce had great flavor; it was spicy with a hint of sweetness and perfect for dipping the bread. Before the main entree, they served a raspberry sorbet as a palate cleanser. My entree was the Catch of the day: wahu grilled medium rare with house made pasta, puttanesca sauce and bleu cheese stuffed fried olives. This is my first time trying wahu. It was well cooked and tasted fresh but i was not too fond of the texture. But I am still glad I got to try something new. The ambiance was cozy and our server was very friendly .

This was our first visit and everything was perfect. The dining room is cozy and it was easy to hear even with some background music. The service was outstanding. Our server knew the menu and was able to answer all questions. The star of the show was the food. I only posted the entree pictures. Each entree was exceptional. Prices were high but the quality was evident in every bite. We were too full for dessert but our appetizers also divine. This was a special occasion dinner with a long time friend who was visiting. We were very impressed.

Overall was a good meal. This is a weird review to write bcs there wasn't anything wrong, per se, but I guess it boils down to being overrated? So location is good right on Hypolita in St Aug, but parking is challenging and they do not offer valet. The restaurant felt really cramped based on how the had the tables set up. We also noted that our waitress was too... we couldn't quite figure out the word but we all knew it was too much of something. The food was good but the portions were meager for the money. The true star was the escargot itself. Not necessarily the dish but the actual escargot. Very tender and well prepared. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Dined here on a Thursday early before doing the lights tour. The food is delicious. I had the beef tenderloin...others had the scallops and grouper. would definitely return

Dining perfected! Amazing atmosphere and service. Romance in the air! A gem among gems in old town St. Augustine.

Fancy restaurant. Great for a special date night. Recommend making reservations. Excellent food and white glove service.

This is the best restaurant in St Augustine! I take multiple out of town guests there and am NEVER disappointed. Service is always above and beyond. The food is always perfect, and the atmosphere cannot be beaten. Cozy but in the main part of the historic district, this restaurant is easy to miss since it's tucked away between other buildings and fairly nondescript. Great options for seafood lovers as well as picky eaters! Amazing wine and dessert menu as well. Make sure you get reservations at least a couple of weeks out!

Everything was AMAZING! We came here on a busy Saturday night for a special birthday and we were not disappointed. We will be back when we visit St Augustine again.

Amazing service, atmosphere and food. Potentially the best steak I've ever had. Everything on that entree was to die for. Definitely would recommend.

Have been to St. Augustine a few times and noticed Collage. Love the environment as it is in an old house (I assume). Service was great as was the food. It was a little expensive (IMO) but this was our special dinner on this trip. Was worth the price

Wow! What a wonderful surprise to find this small gem in St Augustine. We were greeted by a kind host who immediately escorted us to our table after reviewing our reservation. We love a killer bottle of wine and were happy to see the wine list/book had a nice selection. We went with a beautiful French/ White Burgundy. The mark ups on the wine were high yet happy they had this type of wine. We started with escargot. My guy ordered the duck - fabulous! We are both duck lovers and it was cooked perfectly. I had the fish special, Branzino. Perfectly cooked. They did have a lot of great options so hard to choose. The service was outstanding, the small charm of the room had a romantic feel. We had 9pm reservations so we were the last seating and felt like we have the entire place to ourselves.

Collage was recommended to me by a friend who came here 2 years ago who loved it. Dinner tonight was delicious!!! I ordered the beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes and substituted the asparagus for broccolini. It was cooked just how I like it! It was more than enough food for me. I will say it is a little expensive for the amount of food you get but it really was tasty!!! My meal was $65. I would definitely go back and get the steak when in St. Augustine again. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. Our food came out pretty quickly as well. I was actually surprised at how fast it came out. The bread was hot and fresh too! I do wish the oil had a little less basil in it though but that might just be me... For such an upscale restaurant I will say I expected it to be decorated more classier then what it was. 5 stars for the food and service though!!! Oh. And refills on soda are free!! (I'm from NY, where not all restaurants have free refills)

Dined at Collage restaurant for our anniversary. Great atmosphere and service. The bread for dipping in olive oil and roasted garlic was delicious. The lobster ravioli and the veal were both amazing! Definitely recommend it if visiting St. Augustine

This is a wonderful restaurant we found in the heart of St Augustine. Fun atmosphere although its a very expensive and classy restaurant. Food and service was outstanding and our server Louis was outstanding. We had the Burrata and beef carpaccio appetizers and three of us had the veal ossobucco special and veg ravioli. All amazing. The desserts were unbelievable but we were really full by then. Perfect evening. Wine was an Alexander Valley Cab as a perfect pairing recommended by his highness Louis. Thank you. I will be back

Great meal at Collage this evening. Staff was very attentive and informing. The bread is delicious that is served. Strawberry sorbet to cleanse the palate before main course is also on point. Very quaint setting set the mood for a wonderful meal. Only thing I will say is they have a very large wine menu, but not as many beer options as I would have preferred. Had the steak with potatoes and broccolini, my brother the same. Wife and sister in law shared appetizers for their meal. All was great. Definitely recommend. It is finer dining so be prepared, it is a bit pricey as well. Enjoy, Good selling!

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for years and finally make it there. It did not disappoint. The service was phenomenal, the ambiance cozy and the food delectable. I got the goat cheese salad for appetizer and my husband got the soup du jour which was a mushroom soup. Both were great and generous servings. For dinner my husband got the scallops and I the surf and turf. The presentation alone was worth the price. Dessert was butter rum cake which was warm and sweet. I really can't complain about anything as it was all so good. We will definitely be back.

10 out of 10! (Yelled in a funny voice while doing a little ditty!) What a lovely and special place! The perfect romantic restaurant for a special event or sharing a great memory with someone close to you. My wife, brother, and sister-in-law recently dined at Collage and had an outstanding meal from start to finish! We had two tenderloin meals cooked perfectly and both had excellent seasonings. Then there were some shared appetizers of burrata and scallops along with soup and salad. There was nothing left on any of our plates! The bread service was so outstanding that we ordered a second loaf! Our service was pretty flipping spot on too! From the moment we were greeted until literally heading out the door we were treated well and everyone had a smile! Yes, this is a pricey restaurant. Yes, be prepared so you can get it off your mind and enjoy the experience! And go and ENJOY the experience! It was a truly beautiful meal! To those about to dine, I salute you!

Food excellent. Service attentive. Relaxed dining. Wait staff very well trained. Our server Kate exceptional

Wonderful experience, perfect for special occasions. We celebrated our 20th Anniversary and they surprised us with a delicious dessert. We loved the lobster ravioli and black grouper. This is a "must-visit" for foodies and romantics alike.

I visited Collage Restaurant for the first time about six years ago and had a phenomenal experience. I decided to return last weekend during a short trip to St. Augustine. The restaurant was just as good, if not better, than my first visit. First of all, if you want to eat here, get reservations a few weeks in advance since the restaurant is quite small and they tend to run out of available seating. During this visit I ordered the Beef Tenderloin Tartare, Veal Orleans, and Homemade Butter Rum Cake. The Beef Tenderloin Tartare was fresh, tender and melt in your mouth and topped with a rich yolky quail egg, briny capers, flavorful anchovies, and crisp shallots. This combination with the side of roasted garlic-scallion crème fraiche was a heavenly combination of decadent flavors. The Veal Orleans was super tender and topped with a rich earthy fondue and paired with a briny tender artichoke, creamy whipped potatoes, and meaty tender juicy shrimp. This was some of the best veal I have ever had. For dessert the Homemade Butter Rum Cake was perfectly soft and moist with a creamy glaze and a nice rum flavor. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in St. Augustine and a must visit.

Awesome small restaurant with an intimate feel and outstanding service. I had steak tartare followed by the lobster ravioli. My husband got a steak. The food was carefully prepared - my ravioli had a chunk of lobster in each piece. Clearly it was handmade as advertised. My hubby ate his steak all gone, but he did give me a bite. The sauce was amazing. Like most places in the area, the parking is valet. The wines as well chosen and well priced at around $10 per glass. The descriptions of the wine were helpful too. Yes, it doesn't have and ocean view but this also is not a tourist trap. This is a place to go for a special occasion. We went for our anniversary. The bread was so good we brought some home with our leftovers. The service was spot on. I never had an annoyance with too much attention or not enough. Seating was comfortable and not too crowded. It was a very pleasant, relaxing experience.

Went here for my birthday dinner & was very happy that we chose Collage. Nice atmosphere, great service, inventive menu. Will go back when in St Augustine

Delicious meal. Cute restaurant in downtown St. Augustine with friendly and attentive service. Loved every course. Best dishes were escargot, filet, grouper and the strawberry dessert (so yummy).

Went here for my wife and I's anniversary. The restaurant is in the heart of historic downtown Saint Augustine and is a small intimate setting with only about 14 tables (so reservations are likely required). We ordered some lamb meatballs, steak, and dessert. The lamb meatballs were delicious! The steak was cooked as ordered however the tomato sauce they use with the steak does not work. It tasted like our steak was paired with a spicy marinara sauce. If I return I would not get that sauce again. Overall, we enjoyed this restaurant. However for the price I expected the food to be better.

Such an amazing experience. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server Harmony, was super knowledgeable of the menu and ingredients, and her recommendations were all on point. We were a party of 6 and shared 3 appetizers and 3 desserts. All 6 entrées were super delicious. From my observations, there are ADA accommodations and accommodations for parents with a child all over the restaurant and especially in the restroom. Parking all around is a bit of a challenge so allow yourself ample time before your reservation for parking and walking. Overall, I recommend 11/10.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The service was impeccable, the food was incredible and all of the staff was so kind and friendly. We will definitely return.

Food is consistently fantastic, servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We go here regularly for special occasions. Never a disappointment. Thanks for always a good experience

We decided to go out to this place because it's my sister's favorite restaurant in Saint Augustine. We ordered lentil tomato soup each had a cup is probably the best soup I've ever eaten. We followed it up by splitting the Cobia a fish, I never heard of before and crusted with pistachios served over a rice and green beans with their own special gravy. They charge an extra five dollars to split and let me tell you I'm glad we did because it would've been impossible for me to have eaten anymore. I barely finished it, everything was terrific. The service was wonderful. The placei is hard to get in so I encourage you to make a reservation.

Great food, dessert, and waitstaff too. It's a small venue so reservations are recommended. Great for a romantic date.

Fantastic meal here. The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the snozzberries really taste like snozzberries. Ok, so not the last part. But the rest of it is true. The carrot datil pepper bisque is definitely worth it. Lamb shank is fall off the bone fabulous, and the lobster ravioli with a lobster tail on top? Yeah, you had me at lobster ravioli. Not easy to make a reservation so plan ahead. Definitely a place worth checking out if you've never been here!

Magnificent, one word for Collage. Elegant, yet subtle. The space was relaxing and toned down but felt premier. Our waitress was very friendly and had fantastic recommendations for wine and dessert pairing, truly amazing. I ate the grilled ahi tuna, my wife had the lobster ravioli. Both meals were superb. The real champion of the night was the wasabi mashed potatoes, sounds wild but it was refined. You had a smoothness of the garlic butter and bite of wasabi that left you hungering for more. Truly one of the best meals I've eaten. I'd also like to add that our waitress took the time to think about a wine selection based off our desires and choose the perfect wine for dinner. It was even close to the most expensive wine either, you could tell she knew what she was doing. Whatever you do, don't eat here without getting a dessert paired with a port, what a way to end the night.

We were celebrating a special occasion and Tori(server)did everything right. The food was also excellent and fairly priced. We had a reservation and our request for a quiet table was honored. We will return again very soon. Highly recommend this restauran.

Absolutely wonderful! Have dined there many times and have always enjoyed the food and the ambience.

Every aspect of dining here exceeds expectation. Great service, a high quality, well curated wine list, and fabulous cuisine. The quality of ingredients and the perfectly crafted sauces are outstanding. No match in St Johns county and Collage would hold its own among L.A, NY, or Chicago restaurants. Nothing left to be desired here; I highly recommend trying Collage and I can pretty much guarantee you'll be happy with the experience. You'll need to plan ahead, it's a popular destination.

Incredible and unique food selection. I had a seasonal seafood stew with soft shell crab. The broth was delicious. Excellent wine selection and recommended pairings. Service was attentive professional and not intrusive. Wonderful experience. Ambiance is pleasant, intimate and dimly lit. Best suited for parties of 2-4.

Collage has been my favorite restaurant in St Augustine for many years. I love the food, ambiance & service! Everything is made to perfection! Great place to celebrate a special anniversary or just rekindle the romance! What do I recommend?......everything!

Take all my money Collage!!! This place is spectacular.After dining several times I still don't have a favorite dish because everything I have eaten there has been soo good. The rack of lamb was out of this world. The food transports to the region of the world it is representing. The paella was rich, intentional and transported you to a kitchen in Spain. Every dish is made with care and love... highly highly recommend!!!

Amongst the numerous restaurants in St Augustine, its really hard to find a gem in a sea of mediocrity. We made a reservation on the advice of a friend, and The Collage was as good as advertised.. Yes, its pricey, Yes, its not the greatest bang for your buck in portion..BUT, everything was just plain delicious and the service was fantastic (Mego was a delight). The freshly baked bread and roasted garlic was enough to warrant the 5 stars.. My chicken dish was tasty and my wife loved the lobster ravioli.. Overall, in fairness, Collage is 4.5 stars considering the portion to price ratio, but it is STILL very very good and highly recommended!!

I tried to buy a gift card for my parents 50th anniversary- the link online wasn't working. I called to see if could buy one and have it emailed to me. I also thought maybe they could fix the link. The person that I spoke to on the phone was not helpful and seemed like she didn't care. So I got my parents a 200.00 gift card somewhere else.

Such a great experience dinning here. Small but not cramped, intimate and classy is the best way I can describe it. The ambiance is on point! Everything we had was truly amazing. Wine selection is extensive and filled with a ton of great choices that fit any budget. We started with the steak tartar bruschetta app. Four bite size pieces of a delicious culinary roller coaster of flavors. I know it seems I'm being extra but truthfully I'm not. Each bite brought a different flavor to the pallet and they were all amazing. Followed up with the rack of lamb and it was sooooooo good. Like melt in your mouth good. My only regret was being too full to try their deserts. If you're looking for a borderline fine dinning experience, this is a must try. You're going to drop some coin but again, worth it.

Food was delicious. Definitely recommend making reservations at least a month out. Very difficult to get into but food is definitely worth it. Lots of wine and beer options. We opted for a glass of bella gloss each and they brought out bread service and told us the specials. We ordered the potato leak and mushroom soups that were on their specials list. I ordered the Lobster ravioli and my boyfriend the Duo di manzo. We were both very pleased with our choices and each were very full afterwards. For dessert we got the rum cake which they brought out with a birthday candle in honor of my birthday. It was delicious. Service was great, very professional waitress. Only thing i would recommend is updating the dining area but then again the rustic look adds some charm to this restaurant in such a historic city.

Be advised, Collage is not ideal for a family sit down dinner. I arrived based on a recommendation from a friend. As a family of four, and we were hustled into a corner where we barely had space to breathe, and was forced to sit so close to the next table, it felt as if they were part of our group. Moving was not an option. I should've done my homework but admittedly I didn't and there was a bit of sticker shock when we saw the prices of both appetizers and entrées. I'll speak for myself and had the New Zealand Lamb Chop duo with medallions and sauce. I asked for a medium-well finish and the chops came out near bloody in the middle. I sometimes eat rare, so I continued on, but truth be told, the entrée was not tasty at all, and very bland. As an appetizer, we got the Burrata and this, too, was nothing out of the ordinary. My wife shared the Gambas Al Ajillo with my son and she, too, was unimpressed being that the sauce was extremely bland. The server was somewhat pushy and let it be known clearly that this really wasn't a restaurant with anything designed for children. No kid's meals or portions for smaller ones, hence, the shrimp. It's very awkward to sit in a restaurant for a meal. knowing right off the bat that you've made a very big mistake. Call it a vibe but it was simply one of those things. The $250 price tag solidified the buyer's remorse and we walked down to Charlotte Street for ice cream because the desert list was also unimaginative and unappealing to kids. I can't speak for the high reviews listed on here; I can only simply provide my own experience. And it's not a question of price because there were nights during our stay where we had $200 plus dinners, and they were fantastic. The Ancient City brunch bar was a fraction of the cost and it was the best food we had during our stay. Highly recommended. So enter Collage at your own risk. We weren't given the choice of seating, so I never saw the rest of the restaurant . I can't even tell you about the ambience other than we were crammed into a corner with mediocre food and next door diners breathing down my neck. Fooled me once. Not again. Good luck.

Everything ordered was great. Shrimp a bit overcooked... wonderful service, very attentive and eager to answer all questions. Romantic place to celebrate an anniversary.
