You might do better if you post this on the Jacksonville forum. Happy Birthday!

Check out Harry's seafood.. right on the main drag thru downtown St. Augustine. Also, the Tasting Room.. it's right off St. George, a few doors down from The Augustin Inn

Harry's is a chain.

I'd suggest going Gypsie Cab Company for an overall good dinner.

The shrimp at Barnacle Bill's are great. The rest of the food is ok. If anything get some shrimp to go and make sure you get their special sauce for the shrimp.

The Columbia
Columbia Restaurant

They have several locations in Florida, but it's family owned. Not a large chain.
The first one is in Ybor City(Tampa) very historic and a great restaurant. I have been many times over the years. Always great meals.The one in SA is also nice we ate lunch there years ago.

I went to Columbia once and was not impressed, could be just me though. My favorite St Aug restaurant is Saltwater Cowboys. Real Florida food and a great atmosphere. It's on the beachside. Salt Water Cowboys Restaurant - St. Augustine, FL

I like the Conch House - but mostly for the atmosphere. Food is decent, but not great. But you just can't beat the setting right on the water, especially if you can get one of those elevated Tiki Huts!
