I'd seen on Yelp that someone ordered shrimp nachos. Unfortunately they no longer had nachos on the menu, but had "totchos" and salsa/ dips. I asked to replace the tots with nacho chips and added shrimp. It was REALLY good. I wish it would be a more consistent menu option. I ordered a margarita and it was a little strong. The service was good. 4/5 stars because it took a lot to get the nachos but I'm glad they were willing to do it.

From the moment you arrive, the service is exceptional. The maître d' and wait staff are not only efficient but genuinely kind and welcoming, creating an experience that feels both polished and comfortable. The attention to detail throughout the meal is impressive. What truly stands out is the level of care from management. During our visit, the manager made a point to stop by many tables--not just for a quick, routine check-in--but to sincerely thank guests for visiting and ask thoughtful questions about their meals and service. That genuine hospitality makes a lasting impression. Consistently excellent food, warm service, and a team that truly values its guests make The Surfing Deer our favorite restaurant in the 30A area. We look forward to many more meals there in the years to come.

We went for dinner and had the she crab soup, crab cake, and arugula salad. All of the appetizers…read morewere great. The crab cake was loaded with meat and very little filler. The soup was my favorite crab soup out of the 3 I tried around 30a. We got the shrimp carbonara and shrimp and grits for our entrees. The carbonara portion was huge. Definitely enough to split with someone and still have leftovers. We were pretty stuffed and nothing piqued our interest so we passed on dessert. The server was nice and attentive. Appetizers came out pretty quick. The complimentary bread was good. Our only criticism was that the shrimp came with the tails on so we can get our hands dirty with sauce to remove the tails off. Not going to deduct points for it as it seems like everywhere in 30a serves shrimp with tails but my southern husband was disappointed by it at a nice restaurant. We will definitely be back on future trips to 30a. I feel like it was the one restaurant we went to during our trip where we could have a nice conversation without having a hard time hearing each other across the table.

I got the lobster in paradise and the arugula salad and both were delicious! My husband got the filet and asparagus and while it was prepared safely, it was his least favorite steak of the trip. Our waitress was great and very friendly! However, when we got to the hostess stand and gave them our name, the employees at the stand seemed to be bickering a bit and we weren't sure if it was related to my husbands allergies/where to seat us or something else, but it made us a little nervous. The happy hour deals are amazing and people line up at the door at open for the $6 martini special (bar only - but you can get up and walk over there). We did get to participate in the bogo half off entree deal which was nice. Overall, I would return but the first impression with the hosts just worried us a bit.

I heard they were known for their crab cakes, but I wasn't a huge fan. My blackened grouper was absolutely delicious. The seasoning wasn't over powering and the fish was cooked to perfection. The salad was my favorite part crazy enough. It was a tomato basil vinaigrette that was out of this world with flavor. It had a sweet base to it that brought out the basil flavor that made us all guess what the ingredients were. What I really enjoyed about this place was that the owner was walking around all night checking on the tables and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and that the food was perfection. Great dinner spot and really cool vibe with all the red lights and fun paintings everywhere.

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like we were old friends, so warm, so welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves before the food even hit the table. We sat outside with low lighting, soft live music in the background, and the most perfect relaxed atmosphere. The music was lowkey but so good, it added to the experience without taking over. And the food... wow. The wedge salad with the fish of the day was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and just done right. This place is intimate, charming, and honestly feels like a hidden gem. Safe to say this is our new spot

Great flavor. Mains: I had the red snapper and took the server's recommendation to swap the fingerling potatoes for the truffled mashed potatoes. (Lighting in the picture isn't great, but it was divine.) My husband & one son had the filet, another had the pasta, and the last one had the pork chop. All were really good.

The service is always quick, and the waiters are always very informed of what the dishes are if you have any questions. They have a very good mixed drink selection, if you're looking for alcohol, and their beers are priced decently for the area you're in. We went to George's most recently on a night when it was a bit chilly out, but they had heaters going and you could sit outside to enjoy the fresh air while eating dinner. Everything on their menu that we've ever tried has been five-star, elite food. The quality of the food is worth the price. We got dessert this most recent time which was also amazing. I believe their menu changes depending on the season so I would highly recommend visiting multiple times on any trip. You take to 30A. Extra note - it is a kid-friendly setup, if you have young ones that you would like to take. There are some areas in 30A where it's a bit too fancy or uncomfortable to take kids, but this is a good spot for a family.
