Its about a 30 minute ride to Kate's in Villano but well worth the trip. Indoor and outdoor dining next to the water. Service and food is five star. If you do a fishing charter, the chef will prepare your fresh catch. Kate's is also very consistent and one of our favorites.

Great Mexican food, the best in St. Augustine. Good pricing on a variety of Margaritas. Service is amazing, your entre will arrive in minutes so be sure to order an appetizer and ask the server to delay the main course. Enchiladas and quesadillas are favorites. Try the Mexican street corn if you visit Louie on the weekend.

Take a table outside and enjoy the bay view and activity on Avenida Menendez street. Simply the best (and most potent) expresso martini is served here in a small shaker. As for the menu, I don't think they have one or see a need to serve food!

Sightseeing
Renting a scooter is a fun way to see the Old City. An hour is all you need. Reasonable rates and these scooters perform well. Take Riberia street south for a long fast ride to Hayling Freedom Park. See if you can find the musical pipes and play a song. You can also create a rock Cairn near the water.

Florida fishing is fantastic. Captain Guy Spears will find fish, inshore or offshore. Recommend inshore smooth waters for first timers. Sportfishing offshore is an adventure to remember. The fish you will catch depends on the season, but all seasons yield a variety of fun to catch fish. Captain Guy will filet your catch. Prepare it yourself or go to Aunt Kate's in Villano and the chef will cook the fillet's based on your preference.
