    Pan Seared Flounder (4/5)
    Ian N.

    Pan Seared Flounder (4/5): I enjoyed the slight crispiness of the fish. The soy glaze flavor was really nice and the bed of spaghetti squash salad was also very good. Huge bok choy on the side as well. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Green coconut curry mussels
    Leslie V.

    So many good things to say about Cafe 30A. My children took me there for Mother's Day and they were very accommodating when we added a person to our reservation. This is a white linen restaurant but still maintains a casual yet elegant feel. Varied menu with amazing takes on fresh seafood. The highlight for me was the green coconut curry mussels. That sauce! So flavorful and rich. Our waiter brought us extra bread so we didn't waste a drop of it. The ceviche also a big hit. The she crab soup was rich and creamy and FULL of crab. And, last but not least, the bread pudding was amazing. Moist and delicious. Served with rum sauce and ice cream. Attentive, knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. All in all, a lovely experience.

    The food came out very quickly and tasted amazing. Service was also great, waiter was very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

    This place came highly recommended by another family. Valet service was great hard to park at a lot of restaurants on 30A during rush times. Food was honestly above par for its price range. Even my kids enjoyed their food, which is saying something, especially my foodie. Server Chris was top notch (from one server to another) great service. Waited on nothing, food was out surprisingly quick for how busy they were, Chris was attentive without an over presence.. I highly recommend this place. Went w 3 kids and did not feel like we had to walk on eggshells, friendly yet upscale.

    Shrimp & Grits

    Made it to Cafe Thirty-A and luckily on a Tuesday! Tuesday and Thursday are their $6 martini nights. It's only avail at the bar but it was well worth it. I had the blueberry lemon martini along with the shrimp & grits. Shrimp & grits is not typically something I'd choose but it was SOOO good. The bartender Jason was great! So helpful with questions about the menu.

    Wonderful service and accommodations this evening. The atmosphere is casual dress from shorts & golf shorts to jackets & ties. The restaurant is spacious and offers an early bird special providing you place your dinner order before 5:15. Our dinner tonight consisted of she crab soup 10/10, Beef Filet 10/10, Linguine w/prawn 8/10 and bread pudding 10/10. Drinks were on the money and this dinner was money well spent! Good Moscow Mule!

    Tuna entree and Salmon entree.  Both were great!

    The best meal I have had in a long time. Don was an excellent server. Best date nite dining on 30A.

    Yellow fin tuna
    Michael C.

    Best meal in Florida so far, had the carpaccio for starters came out perfectly thin cut, shaved parmesan, capers, and microgreens, with light truffle oil. Yummy! My wife had the fried lobster tail with drawn butter, excellent. I had the yellowfin tuna cooked just right "rare" with mixed vegetable with shoyu, ginger, and wasabee, all perfectly executed and delicious! Last we split the crème brûlée which was light, flavorful and just the perfect ending to a great meal! Our waiter Jay was fantastic, smart, witty, and food and wine intelligent. Bravo

    Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
    Jeff D.

    Hands down... This is my favorite restaurant in his area, The service is first class, knowledge, attentive, and had a great personality! Started off with an Old Fashioned, very good! Then the warm bread hits the table, each of us had a dish with olive oil and cracked paper for dipping! So good! Appetizers, One Jumbo Crab Cake, so good! Then a Tuna Poke Stack, wow, amazing! Then I had the She Crab Soup.... WOW, maybe the best I have ever had, crazy Good! For my entree, I got the Pan Seared Snapper, it was sooo good, lots of flavor! I also got the Cafe Thirty A's Famous Creamy Grits! Oh my... soooo GOOD! A must have! Everything I had was amazing!! After this, I had no room for dessert. If you are in the area, make your reservations early! It is well worth it!! Cheers!!!

    Crab Cake Entrée
    Amanda M.

    Great birthday dinner!! We made a reservation in advance and were seated promptly upon arrival. The hostess told me happy birthday as we entered, but there was no other mention of it outside of that (which was a bit of a bummer). Our server was very nice and gave us a great amount of space to not feel rushed and to simply enjoy the evening. My husband and I both ordered cocktails. They were fine but not the best we've had. The food, on the other hand, was amazing! We started with a caprese salad, which was a special that night. It was super fresh and light. My husband got the Maine Lobster in Paradise, and I got the Crab Cake Entrée. We really enjoyed both dishes, but we both agreed the crab cakes were the better of the two. They were loaded with crab and cooked to perfection. The sauce on top was delicious, and I loved the simple green beans and potatoes it came with. 10/10 dish. The lobster dish was great, but I think we would've preferred it with something different (rather than the pasta). Nonetheless, we both cleaned our plates! Prices were high but to be expected. We'd return, especially for another celebratory night.

    Fancy schmancy spot right on 30A, just east of Seaside. The menu was a great mix of southern,…read moreseafood, and some asian fusion items. Being a bit tired of seafood after a long trip, I opted for the pork chop. It was seared well, good flavor, good cut. No complaints about the chop. The collards and potatoes on the side were really just ok. The sourdough appetizer with olive oil and garlic was delicious. Service here was strange to me. They're definitely trying to be a "white tablecloth" establishment. We were seated near the kitchen and our water glasses got filled up almost too frequently... I know, that's me being picky. The most outstanding thing was the banana pudding cheesecake. I would like me some more of that.

    Ambiance was nice but service was not great for our group of six…read more We started by ordering drinks and four appetizers. Four of the five drinks arrived, then the appetizers came. Our server never checked on us so we couldn't inquire about the missing drink. We ate all of the appetizers with our menus still on the table because he didn't come back to take our dinner order until we had eaten all of the appetizers and had to flag down someone else to ask if we could place our entree order. Have never had that happen at any dining establishment let alone a higher end restaurant like Surfing Deer! It took a long time for the entrees to arrive and to get our drink order corrected. The original adult mocktail was given to one of the kids and it was unclear that it was her kids drink that was never brought to the table. Our truffle fries were cold, the pad Thai was chewy and oddly salty. Those things could have been overlooked but we just felt overall that we weren't really being cared for at the table so we skipped dessert. It was a very disappointing experience. Food wise: --Hushpuppies 3/5 just standard nothing special --Brussel sprouts 4/5 good but oily and small portion --clothes hanger bacon 4/5 for flavor and presentation. Rosemary torched at the table was odd bc it didn't flavor the bacon it just made smoke go everywhere --surfing deer chicken nugs 5/5 like an elevated chick fil a nugget with a delicious slaw --Seafood acadania: 5/5 delicious --Fish of the day: 4/5 small ish portion but good --Pesto pappardelle: 4/5 good but a bit chewy --Pad Thai: 2/5 what was that even? very chewy noodles with super salty sauce. Not even a relative of pad Thai --Kids petite filet mignon 4/5 super good but fries were cold and 22.00 for a tiny steak

We started with the soup of the day (seafood chowder), which was good. Then we ordered the steak frites and a burger, and the food took a long time to come out, the server came by to say she'd check on it, but it still took much longer than expected. When the steak finally arrived, I had ordered it medium but it came out medium well to well done, pretty overcooked, and the fries that came with it were also a bit burnt. The server was attentive and offered us a discount for the delay, and when I mentioned the steak, she got the manager involved. He came over, apologized, said he'd let the chef know, and ended up comping that dish entirely, it was clear they cared about making it right. My husband's burger was good. We had wanted to try the carrot cake for dessert, but after everything, we just lost the appetite for it. The service was friendly and they tried to make up for the mistake, but between the long wait and the overcooked steak, it wasn't the first impression we were hoping for. Hopefully just an off day.

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.
