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.

The food was varied and delicious with a well thought out and planned menu. The menu changes every night to match available local ingredients but some highlights we had were a crispy duck ravioli, a scallop dish, and a steak dish. The tasting menu was $155 per person and was worth every penny. We chose one of their wine pairings that delivered five wines for each savory course. The wines ranged from French to Spanish to US (both California and Washington). They offer three different price points for the flights, $65, $95, and $115 per person. The location is a bit confusing at first with the building tucked back in an area past a building supply store. The staff welcomed us as soon as we arrived and sat us immediately. We arrived about 10 minutes before 7pm and were the first there but the staff talked with us as they prepped and we started dinner about 715pm after the other three parties booked arrived. The ambiance is amazing, with the chefs counter being the place to be in my opinion. Overall this will be an unforgettable experience. Yes this is expensive, but is worth the cost as this is not simple meal out. This is a hidden gem of 30A community. Additionally we've used their private chef while staying nearby and that also is an unforgettable experience. Having someone come in and cook and serve, and then clean up, a meal of such a high caliber in your home is a perfect treat for a vacation or special occasion along 30A

You can taste that everything is seasonal and thought-out, not just "pretty food." Watching the team plate each dish right in front of us was half the fun; they move fast, but nothing feels rushed, and the pacing of the meal was spot-on. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel special, even bringing out a custom birthday cake that tasted as good as it looked. This is one of those meals you keep thinking about afterward. If you're anywhere near 30A and want a real dining experience, not just another beach restaurant, book Roux 30A.

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 !!!
