We had dinner at Cafe 30A during our family vacation, and it was one of the highlights of our trip…read more From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience felt special. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, offering a true fine dining experience, but it's still comfortable and welcoming. Many guests were dressed in nice shorts and resort attire, so there's no need to feel overly formal. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We highly recommend the crab soup and the crab cake--both were absolutely exceptional. For our entrees, the seared tuna and the seared scallops were perfectly prepared and among the best we've had. While the dessert menu is somewhat limited, both desserts we ordered were delicious and a wonderful way to end the meal. The real standout, though, was our server, Nancy. She struck the perfect balance between attentive service and giving us space to enjoy our evening. Her warm personality and genuine hospitality made the experience even more memorable while allowing our family to relax and enjoy a wonderful dinner together with our two teenage daughters. Cafe 30A is the kind of restaurant that turns a great meal into a memorable evening. We would absolutely return the next time we're in the Seagrove Beach area.

Chef Franco and Nicki came to our vacation rental last night and cooked dinner for 15 of us. They made everything perfect. From menu selection to the day of the party, it was all easy and perfect. Chef Franco showed up on time and brought everything he could possibly need. We picked out a gulf shrimp appetizer, followed by crab cakes. When I tell you these were the best crab cakes I have ever eaten.... I am craving them right now !!! We also had sautéed crab claws, which were plentiful and delicious. At that point, we were all full, but went on to have a Caesar salad, which again was perfection. Throughout this whole eating frenzy, we delighted in watching chef cook every part of the meal. He is not only a phenomenal chef, but so knowledgeable about the area and other parts of Florida. It made for a great dinner conversation. The main course consisted of filet mignon, and a grilled lobster tail. Accompaniments included green beans, and a homemade Mac and cheese. Just watching him make the mac & cheese, the entire room was salivating. Every aspect of the meal was beyond delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection to everyone's personal liking. Finally, we barely had enough room for dessert, but managed to get it down. Dessert was a bourbon bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Again, this was exquisite. I am a bread, pudding, fan, and some may even say, an aficionado, and I can say this was among the best !!! Chef and Nina then proceeded to clean up the kitchen and package up all of our leftovers into the refrigerator. They left the kitchen cleaner then we found it when we got the house. Every aspect of this evening was fantastic !!!
