The Reef was opened in 2002, under the direct ownership of the Usinas. Since that time the restaurant has worked hard to produce fine food and beverages, professionally served, all accompanied by unsurpassed views of the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. It has steadily built a reputation as one of the most popular dining destinations in St. Augustine. The Reef is on scenic A1A North, just north of Vilano Beach, between St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra.
