I don't know the Ponte Vedra area, but I can find out for you. Lots of fine dining and watering holes, probably the best in Jax area. Bonefish Grille is excellent - http://www.bonefishgrill.com/locator/?zipcity=POnte+Vedra+Beach%2C+FL&radius=5&x=23&y=20#1
JOe's Crab Shack is also good - http://www.joescrabshack.com/locations.php?zipCode=32218
Jax is really the worlds biggest small town, so not that much in upper end entertainment/dining. St. Augustine is also not known, in my opinion, for fine dining. I'll ask my sister about anything new. She and my brother both live there. My brother is the carpenter/woodworker at the Spanish Quarter Historical site on San Marco. http://www.historicstaugustine.com/csq/new.html - that's him when his beard was still long.
He does everything with actual period tools, as do the blacksmith, etc. Don't listen to his crap about nothing new being worth salt, but he is extremely knowledgable on history. He also loves Porsches and had a '70 914/6! Dont miss this part of town. Alot is tourist traps but alot is quite original and informative. St. Augustine Beach is as pretty as Florida beaches get. Some like the west panhandle beaches like Destin, but I'll take St. Aug beach any day and twice on Sunday. Go down A1A to the St. Augustine lighthouse park and got to the beach from there. Wear your sunglasses.
We're in Amelia Island area and Fernandina Beach is also quite nice. Cozy and personal and the downtown Center Street area gets nicer every year. Several quaint, but excellent, resturants by ex-Ritz-Carlton Chefs. Our current favorite is Ciao Bistro.
Don't know when "next month" is, but my thread about Prague will probably be the same weekend. We're going the 7th and returning the 15th. When will you be here?
My shop is in Jax, across the street from the Zoo! If I'm in town I'm there on Saturdays.
