Restaurant · St. Augustine, Florida
Catch 27
How to book: same-day-to-days — small and popular; reserve on Tock or arrive early. The play: whatever's on the fresh-catch board (snapper, triggerfish, black drum) done Southern-style; a true local-seafood dinner in the historic core rather than a tourist-menu fish fry.
Best meal: Dinner — the daily fresh Florida catch (from-scratch, seasonal) plus crab cakes or the chowder; the rotating local-fish board is the reason to go. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: non-seafood eaters wanting a big steakhouse/meat focus budget-minimalists walk-in-no-plan diners at peak times diners wanting a waterfront view (it's a downtown room not on the water)
