Fine dining and a very intimate experience. I asked what the chef's favorite was. The server went and brought the chef to out... table. The owner and master chef is from Macedonia and has created a very well done menu. Read more
What a wonderful introduction to St. Augustine! Sitting in the outdoor courtyard was wonderfully charming. The host put us at... ease while not crowding. The staff were very helpful. We were going to have a glass of wine, when the host mentioned the effortthat went into his sangria. We all order one and oh my. It was wonderful. The house special was lamb with saffron rice, spinachand Greek yogurt. It was wonderful and more than I could eat. The lamb outside was crisped with rosemary while the inside wasjuicy and tender and falling off the bone. While simple it was divine. I highly recommend Cortesse's Bistro for your first orlast stop to St. Augustine, FL. Will set the bar high. Read more
This was a delicious meal. We came for lunch and the atmosphere is so quaint and adorable. I came with 2 ladies for lunch on a... Sunday and it was basically empty. We shared 3 salads and each one of them was delightful! We finished the meal with tiramisuwhich was phenomenal! Great place! Read more
Cortesse?s Bistro was our favorite experience in St. Augustine. The food was fresh, delicious and felt like it came from our... grandparents kitchen. The staff was warm, welcoming and made us feel as though we were in their own home. (Striker was one ofthe best waiters that we?ve had!). We sat in the outdoor patio area- it was like being transported to a beautiful privategrotto!! This was a special birthday celebration but we will be back for date nights and afternoon lunches. Thank you to thestaff for making us feel welcome and spoiled!! We will be back!! ?????????? Read more
This was by far the flavorful flounder I have ever had. This chef knows how to blend flavors. The views are absolutely... beautiful. From start to finish our waiter was personable and his menu knowledge was fantastic. Overall I say excellent and absolutely the way fine dining should be. I'm sorry I didn't get any photos of the food it was beautiful but I was hungry andate it. But I did take a few pictures of the outdoor dining area. Read more
If you are visiting St. Augustine, Cortesse?s Bistro just outside of the old town center is a must! Located near the Fountain of... Youth and Oldest Jail attractions, this stop was the highlight of our dining experience on this trip. The atmosphere exceededexpectations, with a welcoming charm that made us feel right at home. They offer both indoor and outdoor patio seating. The foodwas delicious and seasoned to perfection. They offer a variety of pasta and seafood dishes with Italian and Macedonianinfluence. Our server Morgan was extremely personable, knowledgeable about the menu and he ensured we were enjoying every momentof our dining experience. The owner came out at the end of the meal to say hello and confirm we were satisfied with our meals(Which was without a doubt 5 out of 5 stars!) Can?t wait to come back soon. Read more
I wanted Greek food, but they have changed the menu. It is Italian. Pretty good. I had risotto and eggplant and a rotini roll.... I'd definitely go back!
