28 Best Salad Restaurants in St. Augustine

“𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: 𝐋𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 - 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 — Situated in this historic home previously owned by the granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson, this beautifully curated restaurant brings the tastes of the French countryside with their ambiance, imported wine, and French inspired cuisine. —- Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple – Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes telling the reader a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant is essential. Let's take a look and see how this restaurant scored in these three categories during their lunch service. —- 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 / 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Starter – Gougeres (Gruyère cheese puffs with mornay sauce): The puff pastry was light and airy texture complimented the creamy rich flavor of the Gruyère created the perfect balance between the two. The pairing of the creamy mornay sauce added a bit of savory depth to the dish giving you a decadent cheesy warmth with every bite. This will open up your taste buds and set the tone for the rest of your visit. —- Appetizer – Soup A L’oignon (Veal Broth, Comte, Croutons): Chef’s spin on French onion soup really breaks the stigma of what one would expect in a traditional French onion soup with the Veal broth providing a very rich flavorful base stock for the dish. The cheese is very different from a traditional Gruyère as it’s creamier and not as overpowering. My only criticism is the broth masks the taste of the onions a bit, but not being a traditional French onion soup it really stands alone as a signature staple for the restaurant. —— Entrée – Steak Au Poivre (filet medallions, cognac pepper sauce, pommes aligot): The filet was cooked perfectly to temperature (requested Medium Rare) providing a melt in your mouth tenderness that is comparable to any high end steak house. The richness of the sauce was very complementary adding a smoky depth and sweetness from the cognac. The pommes aligot, is a traditional French dish with bring mashed potatoes together with cheese, butter, and creamy creating a velvety texture and a comforting balance of boldness from the sauce. The only criticism would be the whole peppercorn was a bit intense in ways taking away from the perfection of flavors on the plate. —— Dessert – Pot De Crème (dark chocolate, chantilly cream, sea salt): Speechless. That doesn’t happen very often. It was pure heaven. The best way I can describe this dish in lament terms is imagine a chocolate mousse coupled with chocolate fudge. Every bite was pure decadence. The chantilly cream’s smooth and fluffy texture brings a great balance with every bite of the chocolate and the sea salt flakes adds not only the saltiness but the crunch bringing a dynamic complement of textures and flavors that embodied the entire dish. —— 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 The restaurant offers both inside and outside spaces that took advantage of the historic elements of the building with a beautiful French flare making it a perfect place for couples, family, friends, and even for business. ——- 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 Stellar. Our waitress was extraordinarily attentive and provided detailed descriptions of the dishes and great recommendations that elevated the overall experience. —— Overall, this restaurant truly embodies perfection in every way, and I love how they have curated menus for both lunch and dinner which provide many options to enjoy the creativity and excellent execution of the chef’s work. I visit the Saint Augustine area every year and will surely keep this restaurant as a top preferred restaurant for my visits.“

“We happened to find Poppy’s on Trip Advisor and boy were we delighted. The atmosphere is authentic, food is exceptional and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.“

“Was in search of a good sandwich on a rainy night in St. Augustine this weekend and while scrolling through this place caught my eye. After checking reviews and the menu, we thought this might just be the place for us. Good choice on our part. We got the 5-O and the KGB, along with the pretzel nuts and some kool-aid.

The sandwiches were on point. The honey mustard was not too sweet, but great on the pretzels. Noticed there are a couple near my hometown, will definitely be looking them up when I get back. If your sandwich people, you can't go wrong here.“

“We’ve been coming to Ruby Tuesday every Thursday for a long time now, and one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is *Kat*. She is hands down the best server we’ve ever had — not just here, but anywhere.

Kat always greets us with a smile, remembers our usual orders, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness make every visit feel like we’re dining with a friend. Even when the restaurant is busy, she never misses a beat and still gives us amazing service.

Kat truly makes Ruby Tuesday feel like a second home for us on Thursdays. We can’t say enough good things about her — she’s exceptional!

Thank you, Kat, for being the absolute best!
