Old City House Inn and Restaurant

Bed and Breakfast

Wonderful atmosphere, great, attentive service, delicious food and ample drinks. What more do you need?

Great food and service from Robin!

The hotel is not air conditioned as listed on Expedia. When I got to my room it was so stifling hot and I was told I would need to “upgrade” to a new room for an additional $35. No one should have to pay extra to be able to breathe at night while they sleep! False advertising on Expedia of their amenities. Now we are stuck paying an extra $100 last-minute to find a new hotel. My lawyer will be in contact with them and Expedia.

Quaint atmosphere and delicious entrees. Good service.

Great experience. Great resteraunt.

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere, little expensive, but I would go back, if I was in area.

Amazing food and the service was perfect! Great way to celebrate a fantastic year!

Absolutely beautiful outside dining. Like a tropical paradise!

Great food, service and atmosphere. Our Server was Sébastien he was very good.

Always great service and great food!

Our room, The St. George room was amazing! Large and very cozy bed! Big enough for my Mom and I to share! … After agreeing that we would rather have the “Full St. Augustine Experience, ” we decided to do a B&B instead of a hotel room, and man are we thrilled we did, and that it was THIS ONE! The Inn had a beautiful view of the Lightner Museum! A beautiful rooftop deck with a shaded seating area to over look the lush courtyard. The Innkeepers were master gardeners, and even let me take clippings of some of their beauties, like Dutchman’s Pipe, Japanese Maple, and Devils Ivy. The Complimentary breakfast was so amazing, and delicious, as well as our Service by Barbara! It was truly an experience, one I will definitely return to have again! We were even protected by a Spirit from beyond! Thank you again so much Juan and Company for such an amazing time!

The best service, food and staff ever. Highly recommend staying with Juan. The food is out of this world and they accommodate very well. Can not WAIT to go back.

Fabulous food and ambiance. Excellent service! Five stars!

Love the decor. Fabulous food.

Great place to stay, close to everything all within walking distance. Friendly staff! Amazing food!
Great outdoor area with music and lights all make for a fantastic atmosphere! Would definitely recommend!

Cozy setting with great food, thoughtful wine list, and attentive service! highly recommend.

Crab soup was over-the-top! Entries prepared just right. Especially enjoyed dining on the back brick patio surrounded by lush greenery.

Wonderful dining experience. Intimate atmosphere.

Had our Wedding here; BEST experience of our life. The owner made us very very reassured he could capture our dreams and make them come true and he did exactly that. It was the most perfect day; from the ambiance to the food to the service. I was not disappointed in any way. We love that place!

Father’s Day dinner out. We were one of only three small groups in the dining room which made us feel very comfortable. Service and food were outstanding! Victor took great care of us.

Thank you so much for our cozy, lush atmosphere in your gardens with Corley at Tasting Tours! The food and Sangria were absolutely divine! I would love to return to try more of your atmosphere & cuisine. — с Sherri Dawn.

We love the Old City House for their wonderful menu, cozy atmosphere, freshly prepared meals and desserts and excellent service. If you eat inside it has a warm, cozy ambiance and outside its has the feel of a small European garden. The food is always delicious with a lovely presentation. The cioppino is the best I’ve ever had! The staff are attentive without being overbearing. We always enjoy the experience and look forward to our next visit.

We loved everything about our stay. Our room was absolutely beautiful (Augustine), the people were very pleasant and accommodating. I won’t stay any place else when visiting St. Augustine!

Absolutely wonderful stay in St Augustine. Best location in town, right across from the Lightner museum and near Flagler College and St George St. The Cordova room was extremely clean, cozy, and romantic. Very nice restaurant downstairs and the whole place is run by Juan and his wonderful staff. Juan was the nicest person we met in our entire weekend in St Augustine. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing, great ambience, fab food, great staff…

My husband and I always make time for a romantic evening dinner at Old City House Inn and Restaurant 3 times a year. Their presentation is so beautiful and taste is amazing each time we go. I highly recomend them.

Convenient to parking and
Exceptional menu. Priced fare and service outstanding!

Very nice and friendly atmosphere, delicious food, great service!

The location was great, clean rooms. The only issue we had is with the mix up with puting our payment on the correct credit card, and not returning call to resolve the issue.

We had a wonderful dinner there. Amazing food and service!

Great food and service in Avery nice environment. Fruit salad with shrimp and crab stuffing was dynamic.

Amazing place to stay, juan is the host and the chef who took very good care of us! Breakfasts were 2 courses which consisted of something fruity to start out and the main course next. Love Basil wihich is a staple garnish of every dish! yum!
Gounds were Beautiful room was lovely with very comfortable beds. And my view out my window was of Flagler college. What a fantastic stay. Will definitely be back! thank you Juan and Old City House Inn.

What an Amazing restaurant!
The staff was attentive and courteous. The food second to none.
We will definitely return.

Great food and awesome atmosphere! Service was superb!

Excellent place to stay and outstanding food and service! This place is a must if you are in St Augustine!

We stopped here on a brunch tour and tried the Eggs Benedict. It tasted good but my egg was definitely way overcooked for benedict. Some of us had the runny yolks and some did not. The place is quiet and small. The food was beautifully plated. Probably wont go back based on the tour stop as I can imagine they're pretty pricey.

Great food! And really enjoy staying here. I go everytime I stay in St. Augustine. Worth the price and it's close to all the action.

This place is amazing! From the moment you walk up you are welcomed in as if it were home. I will be staying again and I will make sure the others in my party stay here as well. The breakfast is awesome too.

Went to dinner after a trolley tour through St. Augustine and it was amazing. The food and service were just impeccable. The bread served with roasted garlic, olive oil and balsamic reduction was delicious. Then, the peach, mango and vodka sorber palate cleanse was such a treat. The chicken parmesan dish with asparagus and a buttery risotto was divine. The entire dining experience was wonderful.

Excellent food and service in the restaurant. We ate here to celebrate our wedding with some friends a few years ago. Owner, Juan does an excellent job.

Stayed at the Inn for two nights. The room was nice with three windows and a very comfortable bed. My only complaint was there was no thermostat in our room or the neighboring room which our friends rented, but they both opened to a very well appointed deck. Each morning you get a full breakfast which was really good. Pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon and sausage. Between 5pm and 6pm complimentary beer or wine with a cheese platter. Dinner was a great 5 Star meal. My husband had escargot for an appetizer which he said was great. They also served a sorbet to cleanse the palette prior to the meal which was very good! He had the rack of lamb which was cooked perfectly, my beef tenderloin was almost as tender as a filet. Service was great despite them being unexpectedly busy. We would definitely go back!

Great food and good service. Quaint restaurant in an historic location with a full bar.

Nice convienent location in town near Flagler College… place/building was very nice, menu was a little tricky if your looking for a quick lunch. Not your typical soup and sandwich place. Service was mediocre, but experience was fine!

Awesome staff and great restaraunt with wonderful breakfast. Only reason I give a four star rating instead of five was the noisy fan in the room that kept me awake, as well as no ac control for room to adjust to my preference. Small TV as well. Great sitting areas outside. Bar and restaraunt is very cozy!

Great location! The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room could have been cleaner. There were clumps of hair in areas, the shower was moldy and slimy. For the price and location I'd give is another try.

Made reservations to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. 20 mins after being seated, no one greeted us, no water on the table. Nothing. Two servers walked past us several times to help other tables, without saying a word to my wife and I. When we got up and left, no one seemed to care.

We over Easter weekend and it was wonderful. Everyone was very accommodating. The meals were delicious. Highly recommended.

Wow what a dining experience. I had the special… fresh caught swordfish with dill sauce AMAZING! My wife had the white and red beet salad with goat cheese and salmon. I also had the crab soup. All of the seafood was cooked perfect… not over done and dry. The swordfish was moist and unlike anything I have ever had. Don’t pass up this place! Our server Victor was awesome.

Excellent food. Tried a fabulous salad and lasagna. Top notch service, beautiful atmosphere. It's a small popular restaurant, so reservations are needed. We arrived just as they opened & we were offered a spot at the bar. It worked out fine as we were 3 people. It didn't take 30 minutes before the small bar also had no seats. What we saw of hotel appeared amazing. Historical property, would enjoy checking it out overnight.

Wonderful food. Very intimate. Elegant without being pretentious. A consistently good experience in historic St. Augustine.

The food was fantastic! The warm bread they served with roasted garlic, oil and vinegar was very tasty. The table service was good, very friendly and accommodating. The only drawback was the amount of time we waited for two salads (when they were not busy) which was insane! A little faster food service and I would give them 5 stars.

I definitely recommend this inn. It is historic and charming and located in the heart of the city. It transported us to another time. Juan and the all the staff were welcoming and made us feel at home.
They offered wine/beer and a cheese/fruit plate every afternoon that we enjoyed in the walled courtyard among the lush garden with the soothing sound of jazz and a bubbling fountain. We didn't eat dinner here but the complimentary breakfast was amazing with fresh, well prepared food that went far and beyond any complimentary breakfast I have every had.
The room was slightly smaller than the average hotel room however had way more charm and character than any hotel. Beds are very comfortable. There was a small fridge that didn't make much noise and kept beverages cold. There was a ceiling fan which was nice because the windows could not be opened.
The entire place was impeccably clean. I wish the cleaning solution they use had a milder scent, it was a bit too potent on our first day and still perceptible the next day as well, a person with a sensitive nose might find it a bit much.
Despite those few things, I hope to return soon.

Love this restaurant! Great food great service! A "home town favorite" Everything is wonderful! You get your money's worth! Go here! Very friendly too!

Cozy room. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious food. As expected for an older Inn, there were a few deferred maintenance areas, but none that spoiled our stay.

Visited this lovely intimate restaurant on a walking foodie tour of St. Augustine. We went back because the food is great. The prices reasonable. And the drinks ample. Staff is friendly and attentive. Excellent place for an intimate dinner and located adjacent to the Lightner Museum.

They have amazing food. If you are in a hurry this is not the place for you. They change their menu frequently and every thing is made to order which takes some time. Great wine menu and cocktail menu. Small and very intimate. Would not recommend with children.

There is not enough that I can say about this place. I've been going to St Augustine for over 20 years and stated many bed and breakfast and this is got to be my favorite of all places. Juan and all of his staff are absolutely amazing. Not only are the rooms spacious and extremely clean but they have just about everything that you can possibly need to make it a special stay. Then you have the cheese crackers and wine tastings they have a restaurant on site which is absolutely amazing. Then the breakfast in the morning is better than anything you would get just about anywhere else. One takes great pride and not only making you feel at home but he also prepares the food which is above 5 stars. Thank you sir for another amazing weekend we will see you again. The Freeman's.

Food was great. Cozy atmosphere. I did feel the price point a little higher than I would have expected. Otherwise would recomend.

The place was clean, cozy and Central to the old City. The only complaints one might have had would be how firm the bed is in the St. George room and a little dusty. Though the dust could be explained by the place being nearly 150 years old. Overall it was a good experience.

Food was okay. Server must have forgotten to put in our order because our sandwiches took more than 30 minutes. No apology. Kept forgetting water.

Great service and the food was fantastic. Had brunch here the Monday after my wedding and they opened just for us, and it could not have been better.

My husband and I just stayed here for a couple nights for our ten year wedding anniversary. We don’t want to stay anywhere else any time we come back! So cute and the staff is so friendly. The complementary wine and cheese each evening was amazing, and the breakfast was phenomenal. The room was so quaint and you just really got to feel like you were in a part of the history of the city. Close to everything we wanted to go to and were able to walk to and a short drive to everything else! Perfect location and all around perfect vacation! I just wish there had been a fridge in our room to keep the leftovers I had from Ice Plant cold to eat later. And probably a micro to warm it up but we lived that our room felt really authentic so it’s a give and take but overall a wonderful stay. For sure be back!

The restaurant at the Old City House is amazing. Not only does it have an cozy feeling, but the food is delicious. The portions are worth it and the taste is incredible. She crab soup is highly recommended.

We had lunch here, and it was fantastic! This will be a future stop for us. Would definitely recommend for a bite to eat!

Service was great the food was awful. $39 10 once ribeye was a quarter inch thick and all fat. First time I ever sent food back and ordered something else. The seafood dinner my wife had was like rubber and the tomatoe based sauce was a clear lemony sauce do not waste York money here.

Restaurant food is absolutely fantastic. The waiter was funny and knowledgeable about the food. Highly recommend for a luxurious meal.

We stayed only for one night but we'll definitely be staying here again. The place is very quaint and charming. The rooms are cozy but comfortable. Bathrooms are small but absolutely functional and meets all of your needs. They have wine and cheese at 5 which was great. That's when you get to meet the people that work there whom are all fantastic. They also have breakfast in the morning which was delicious! I was debating between Old City House Inn and Casa Monica and I'm very happy we choose this place.

The rooms are cozy and conformable. The owners are generous and amiable, and the staff is great. The food is wonderful. For future visitors, note that there are lots of steps for getting into rooms and there isn't microwaves in the rooms (at least, not in the room I stayed in).

We had an amazing meal here. My husband had the beef tenderloin and I had the rack of lamb. Both were superb! And our waiter, Richard, was top notch. It was the best meal we've had in town in years!

The Resaurant at Old City House is the best kept secret in St Augustine with outstanding food in a quiet quaint atmosphere next door to the Casa Monica Hotel. Come here to escape the crowds in an inn that from the 1800's. Enjoy!

I just had my wedding here. I've been to many weddings and provided services for many weddings, and I have to say this is the best venue I've seen for the budget we had. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the courtyard was prefect and beautifully designed for a small wedding crowd. But the best part was the food. OMG… best food ever and that's not just my opinion. The service is awesome and the ambiance is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this place and Juan and his staff. What a gem, we were sincerely lucky to be married here and for such a reasonable cost. I recommend them highly!

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from Jacksonville one day. Our dinner was awesome. Our waitress was very attentive. I am trying to book a night there at the inn soon. If I stay there I would have to say the location is great being right in the historic district where many of the attractions are.

Centric and very charming place for a nice dinner. Staff was very polite and attentive. The food was well executed and very delicious. It's well worth the money for a charming and unforgettable dinner in the old city of st Augustine.

Funky, beautiful room. Great full breakfast, free bikes and wonderful staff.

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Old City House Inn & Restaurant. The ceremony and cocktail hour were in the garden area and the dinner/reception was indoors in a private event room. The owner, Juan, and his staff were amazing! The food was delicious, they set up all of the decorations perfectly and truly made our day stress free and memorable! I highly recommend stopping in for bite and/celebrating a special occasion there!

Dinner: Romantic environment. Wonderful service. Very personal and down to earth. Also very helpful and explanatory. Food was good. There were something things that I would have done differently with the dishes but all together well presented and tasted very good. Dessert was amazing. The flavors were on point. Wines were also good. House wine and wine selection. I was actually able to find a white wine with the help of the waiter which is now a new favorite.

We stayed for 3 nights (11/24-11/27). Stayed in the St. George room. Perfect sized room for us 2. Beautiful stained glass windows. All staff was fantastic throughout the stay, very friendly and attentive. Breakfast every morning was fantastic, not a single complaint. We had dinner here on Thanksgiving evening and the turkey was the best turkey we have ever had. We had to take our dessert to go, as we were so full. Very worth the price. We did not participate in the wine and cheese in the evening, just didn't work into our schedule with other activities we had planned. Wish we could have though. Location is perfect. Just about everything is a ten minute walk or less, no need to drive around town and you won't need to unless of course you go across the bridges. With parking right on site, it really can't be beat. We would very highly recommend to anyone and if we make it back to St. Augustine will be staying again.

So friendly, warm and welcoming. Staff was like visiting with old friends. The afternoon wine and cheese tasting was more than just a taste and the breakfasts every morning were wonderful and enough to fill us till dinner. The evening meal was a little pricey for us to have more than once but wow what a steak! and the potatoes au gratin was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. The quaint 7 room inn was just perfect with a covered seating area upstairs and a romantic little patio down stairs.

The Old City House has long been a personal favorite of mine. It has changed owners in the last couple of years but their commitment to fresh unique cuisine remains true. When my wife hosted my 40th birthday party in their lovely private courtyard they created a custom menu (based on my personal favorites flavors) and treated us like friends rather than just guest. Perfect for dinner for two or a rehearsal dinner. Keep up the good work!

If you're looking for a well prepared, well served and well presented meal. This is a "go-to" favorite of mine. Nice dinner with friends or special meal out… Old City House Restaurant effortlessly works, without pretense. This restaurant is comfortable in it's skin as a local's favorite. Meanwhile visitors and those not "in the know" find themselves standing in lines, or vying for reservations at places of less caliber. Save yourself from "tourist traps" and visit Old City House Restaurant and Inn. I'll be the one by myself or with a friend or two, sitting at the bar with a martini and delish crusted pork tenderloin… Come say Hello!

Best food. I don't eat fish at all. But the sea bass was excellent.

Had lunch here in the beautiful courtyard. Food was wonderful. Full bar was a nice bonus. Next time would love to stay here!

Stayed for the night w my hubs. Stayed in the St. George room. Comfortable, spacious and clean. (Bring your own pillow) Staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delightful. Great location! I'd stay here again.

Nice B&B. Room was unique and cozy. Bathroom needed some work, but was functional. Great food for breakfast!

It is a wonderfully romantic place to stay with plenty of charm and hospitality. Christopher is a wonderful host and very accommodating! The breakfast was so delicious and they even remembered our vegetarian diet and made adjustments in the menu for us! The location is great too. It's in the middle of the historic district but very quiet.

Went for Easter dinner with 5:30 reservations. We received a phone call about 4pm asking if we could come earlier. Food was good, but cold. Waiter was making out with his female friend at the bar which was inappropriate. Brought out our check without asking if we wanted anything else. We said oh, no dessert menu? He said the cook was gone which was odd because the table next to us with a different server was just offered dessert and was brought out after we were told no. I understand now why they tried to get us to come ealier, they wanted to close early. There were several groups that tried to come in while we were there, and were turned away. Not the way a restaurant makes money. We are local, not tourists. We won't be going back or recommending to any of our local friends. These restaurants need to remember that not everyone eating there is just passing through.
