Last night I went to The Purple Olive. The Purple Olive is one of the special surprises on the beach. It is located in a small shopping plaza on A1A. On the outside it looks like an unobtrusive store front restaurant. Inside it as a very cool international flair. The food is by far the best international food on St. Augustine Beach. I had the White Wine Seafood on angel hair pasta. It came out in a large bowel with mussels, shrimp, fish and scallops. The broth was a delightful wine sauce. I had more than enough for any hungry man. The salad was a mix of greens and the best creamy Romano dressing I have every had. My friend had the duck. She said it was so tender and flavorful. She had the soup of the day and it was a Minorcan style tomato chowder. She said that she would always get the duck whenever she came to The Purple Olive. It was that good. For dessert we shared the Creme Brule. It came with two strawberries and two slices of pineapple that had been grilled
This will always be one of my favorite places to eat. It is a place to go for a celebration or just because. It is one of the best St Augustine Restaurants.
