AT A GLANCE
The Reef RestaurantSt. Augustine Dining
The Reef, originally called Comptons, was built by the Usina family on a beautiful piece of oceanfront property in tranquil North Beach--three miles north of the Usina Bridge--on land owned by the family for generations. Comptons opened in 1989 and enjoyed great success for the next ten years. It closed in 1999 due to the ill health of Mr. Compton and hurricane damage.

The Reef Restaurant - From the Manager
St. Augustine Oceanfront Restaurant
As General Manager, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website and to share a little of our philosophy with you.
Since assuming the General Manager position in the summer of 2003, it has been my vision to create an experience inside the restaurant to match the fabulous view outside; no small feat, since we are up against Mother Nature at Her finest.
The answer was to keep things as uncomplicated as possible. Well-cooked food from fresh ingredients are excellently prepared, simply presented, and well served. The beachfront building is elegant; there are tablecloths, yet it's not stuffy. Clean, bright decor is designed to enhance the view. Most important of all, the staff is talented, knowledgeable, pleasant, and friendly. There are very few truly oceanfront restaurants left in Northeast Florida. We work very hard on all aspects of our business so that you, our customers, can continue to enjoy us and the great location we occupy.
Thank you. I am looking forward to the pleasure of meeting you.
Jeremy Ticehurst
General Manager, The Reef Restaurant
