Food Well Prepared with Attitude
We don't get downtown Springfield very often but no matter what season and no matter whether lunch or dinner a meal at Augie's will be a fine choice. They change their menu fairly often to feature fresh veggies and fresh fish. We have never had a bad meal at our table, no matter how many people are eating. The salads, appitizers, main courses are always excellent, unusually well prepared and ample in serving size.    [25 Jul 2004 18:38:57]

Recommended Dishes: Any fresh fish is excellent. The crabcakes are the best we've had - NY to San Francisco, Florida to Canada.

Bad
Wine proportions unbelievably small. Half of a small wine glass, if that.

Rack of Lamb sliced into very thin chops and fatty. Fish over done and dry.

Caesar Salad great but characteristically small, as is the rest of their dishes it seems.    [23 Nov 2004 11:27:37]

Higher Class Than Expected
My husband and I sampled their black bean cake at Taste of Springfield, and loved it. We then went to eat there another night, and were seriously underdressed (jeans), ignored, and felt out of place. I wouldn't have guessed from their item selection at the Taste that it would have been a higher class restaurant than we're used to. Also, as vegetarians, our food selection was mostly limited to the appetizer menu.    [12 Mar 2005 12:21:49]
