I, along with many of my World Golf Village neighbors, have been waiting for a great sushi and hibachi grilled table restaurant to come to our area for quite some time now. Luckily, our prayers have been answered! Sumo Sushi is a Japanese Steak House that recently opened off of CR 210 (right behind the McDonalds) and is the perfect place for a date night, lunch date, friends get-together or celebrating a birthday!

Move over cupcakes. Frozen yogurt is the new favorite treat. You can serve yourself, mix and match flavors, and get exactly the amount you want. Then create your own masterpiece by choosing from a variety of toppings. Frozen yogurt is also a slightly healthier dessert choice since it’s non-fat, but that’s beside the point because it tastes creamy, sweet and delicious! So I was thrilled when a new Yogurt shop opened in Palencia. A few days ago my friend and I went to visit Yogurt Motion located in the Palencia Commons. We met the owner, Scott Sance, who was glad to talk to us about the new, self-serve frozen yogurt shop.

Local Irish pub Donovan’s is located at Plaza Palencia, just southeast of the intersection of International Golf Parkway and US-1. With great Irish-inspired food, good service, and a genuinely sincere staff, this fun bar and restaurant is a nice place to relax, watch some football, and enjoy a comforting meal. I have been going to Donovan’s ever since I can remember (I’m 12 now), and it is definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

I’ve been excited to try Blackfly for a while now. It started when I first noticed the building one morning following a bike ride in Anastasia State Park. The restaurant sits just east of the Bridge of Lions and I noticed it because it had been painted a refreshing Caribbean blue. My curiosity continued when I found out that the same folks who own Collage restaurant in downtown St. Augustine were partners in the new restaurant. Well, my curiosity was quenched Friday, July 20 when my husband and I enjoyed a great evening at Blackfly.

If you doubt how fortunate we are to live in Florida, you should go spend an afternoon at Caps on the Water in St. Augustine. It is located on the Intracoastal Waterway and no matter if you choose to dine inside or out on the large deck, you are sure to have a spectacular view of the sun setting over the water, but if you sit outside, you are treated to the ocean breeze floating in from the Atlantic. The restaurant began its existence as a fish camp back in 1947 and was converted to a restaurant in 1981.

What a delight it is to finally have an upscale Italian restaurant right here in our St. Augustine golf course community. Villagio, the new eatery in the Renaissance Resort Hotel in the heart of WGV opened on 11/11/11 and offered $11.00 wines and $11.00 entrees for three nights. The response was so overwhelming that the kitchen had difficulty keeping up with the demand, but for those who were less than enchanted during that opening, it is well worth a return visit. And if you haven’t dined there yet, you will be pleasantly surprised. The wines by the glass are generously poured and each evening, in addition to a nice wine list, they feature 3 good wines by the bottle at greatly reduced prices. The menu is diverse, and there are daily specials – such as a quail dish recently offered.

Caddy Shack is a great local restaurant for our St. Augustine golf course community residents to take advantage of. Not only do they have delicious food, they also provide lots of fun and entertainment for the whole family. It’s the perfect place to stop by for lunch or a few drinks after a day on one of our pristine golf courses.
Their daily specials spice up their regular menu and their trivia keeps the place packed. They have recently added a few new items to their menu, one of which is what keeps me coming back. The All Wrapped Up is perfection in the chipotle tortilla. I’m a little bit of a wuss when it comes to spice, so I opt for the mild wing sauce and of course, a side of blue cheese. They also have Don’t Be Crabby Fritters and Say Cheeeese & Ham Melt that were recently added.
If you are in the mood for some fun after your long work day ends try some of their entertainment:
Caddy Shack’s 12th Annual Charity Golf Tournament is coming up on March 30-31st. The two day event combines parties, golf, and a whole lot of fun. For more information visit: http://www.murraybroscaddyshack.com/.
