St. Augustine, FL Restaurants

Not mentioned so far, but certainly among St. Augustine's best: 95 Cordova in the Casa Monica hotel.

Bamboo Creek in JAX?

There are already two reviews on Yelp. No one's updated the address yet though. Where is it?

No. 9 Park: Elegant but tiny portions

Wow, I liked the RW pork and loved the cod en papillote (we shared dishes). Small servings, but it's 3 courses at lunch so I wont' complain. My favorite dish was probably the gnocci, however ($6 supplement). Their cocktails are wonderful, the Palmyra is my favorite, though we had prosecco (good) with this restaurant week lunch.

RW reservations at Tangierino and Pigalle

I liked the duck liver with risotto app at Pigalle. The duck kung pao confit main, though, seemed salty and too well cooked. The sundae for dessert was a good example of the dish. Best thing of all was the Platinum Pear cocktail: take a look at the ingredients, and give it a try if it sound like you'd like it. For my taste it's about the best cocktail I've ever had.

best restaurant values in the Boston area?

What are the best restaurant values you know of in the Boston area?

My nominee is Ten Tables's Tuesday wine dinners. They're four courses with wine for $35. I've tried it twice and will do so again in the future. The food deserves their 26 Zagat rating. The service is expert too, but the setting is crowded and noisy. I've only been there for the Tuesday wine dinners, but their regular menu, 4-course vegetarian menu, and Wednesday 3 course $25 deal also sound like outstanding values. Ten Table is in Jamaica Plain.

And of course Restaurant Week is a great value.
