“ Absolute best place to eat on St. Augustine Beach! High class and the finest dining! The veggies were cooked perfect and so flavorful! Chicken was delicious with the best chimichurri sauce! ”
“ Peter and his team were the caterers for our recent wedding. They were fantastic! The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. I could not have asked for anything better. They were efficient and professional with no concerns at all. They were flexible as we changed some of the rental items, and they were always willing to add or alter our menu. I highly recommend them! ”
“ Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine! ”
“ Had a fabulous lunch here yesterday with friends. The food was outstanding: I had one of the best pasta bolognese I've ever eaten! And the key lime pie was perfect. Love the small plate option. We were served by a very knowledgeable woman who was funny too. Too bad I live in West Palm Beach. But I'll return! ”
“ First time here and loved the food. Service somewhat slow, but very helpful. This is a great place if you like small plate dinners. So many interesting choices. They also had a couple large dinners available. We split Crab n Red Pepper soup, Stuffed Chicken, and Shrimp n Sausage dishes. All very good. Recommend if not big eaters and love flavorful food. ”
