Went to Deco for dinner after going for lunch previously. tried 2 soups which were both nice, tomato basil and egg drop. It was a little cool outside that evening and our favorite part of the meal ended up being dessert and hot cocoa! The lemon cake is made from the Chef Sandy's own family recipe and is delicious, hot... more

I was pleasantly surprised at what awaited me on my recent trip to Deco restaurant, and wondered why I waited so long to come here. The salmon mousse was superb, the grouper was delectable, and the marinated mushroom salad was a taste sensation. If you closed your eyes, you could not tell the difference between the melt-in-your-mouth marinated mushroom and... more

If you enjoy great tasting food that is organically grown and made fresh daily, then this is a restaurant you should definately try. The owner/chef has a magnificent way of preparing well known courses with unusual flare. From the outstanding wine list all the way to the decadent desserts, you will not be disappointed. more

We dine in and around St Augustine quite a bit. Originally Deco was a favorite for us but it has been going downhill for a while. The meals are a low average with some surprisingly disappointing offerings. If this was an inexpensive little diner I could live with it but our last dinner at Deco was $140.00 with tip and... more

We tried Deco's for Sunday Brunch and had a great meal and great time this past Sunday. Service was fast, friendly, and everything you would expect. The ambiance is great - beautiful art on the walls, colorful lighting, and discreet quotes on the walls. Sandy is an excellent chef and was working the omelet station that morning - fabulous omelets!... more

This restaurant is truly a find! Why there is not not an hour wait to get in here is a mystery. My wife and I have eaten all over the country and this restaurant rates up with the best! The food, prepared by an award winning Chef was beyond belief. My only regret is that we could only have two... more

My wife and I were in St. Augustine last week, and wanted to enjoy one fine dining experience. We got it as DECO. The decor and atmosphere is sophisticated fun, and the lighting is just right -- not too dark. We had an experienced server and a fantastic meal -- suggest the beef tenderloin strongly, and the avocado, feta and... more

Thank you for the nice comments. We have a 68 bottle wine list which includes wines from California, Oregon, Washington, South America, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. They range in price from $4 a glass to $199 a bottle. It’s not a huge wine list, but for each wine that is on the list I...

The wine pour is short and a bit overpriced, however, the food based on one meal at lunch is just a little short of superb! My entree - artichokes with oysters was unique and subtle. My daughter's meal was ample and very good. Service was very good. Based on this one experience, I recommend this restaurant. Decor and ambiance is... more

We use big, beautiful, 25 oz. leaded crystal wine glasses, and put in them a standard, 6 oz. measured pour. You could fit an entire bottle of wine in one of our glasses and still have room left over. Our wines by the glass start as low as $4 and go to $17 for an Italian Amarone.

We went here with high expectations. The service is fine. The wine by the glass is way, way overpriced and a small pour. The food ok but not fresh. It lacks flavor and imagination. Beef is not aged. Seafood is not fresh. Preparation is not as directed. This is not worth the price; not worth half the price. Maybe we... more

As a chef for 23 years, and a restaurant owner for twelve of those 23 years, I have never written a rebuttal to a bad review. After all, you cannot be everything to everybody. As the chef/owner of DECO I find myself compelled to defend myself against the comments made in the “Are these people serious: part 2”? review posted...

We were looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate a birthday and wanted something different than what's available in our area (Palm Coast).There are not that many special restaurants in this area so when we found Deco we decided to try it.We were not disappointed with a nice menu selection together with good value for the quality.At the moment there... more
