The delivery times online were pre-set but they worked with us to deliver at times we needed. Overall, great food and service. Would order again!

Wow what amazing food!!!! Townsend catered a wedding I attended and every single item of food they…read moreplaced on the table was incredible from the bread to the steak. Starting the night we had 3 appetizers - lobster quesadillas, tuna, and mini oyster slider burgers. All 3 had excellent flavor with the quesadillas being my favorite - dripping with flavor, literally best quesadilla I've ever had. After trying all these appetizers I knew the dinner was going to be excellent. Dinner started with bread. Olive bread - my favorite! Next came the salad that came with mixed greens, craisins, pears, and a nice and light vinaigrette that was fantastic. Probably one of the best salads ever. Sorry this seems to be a common trend of the night but such great food. Dinner was served next and it included shrimp and grits, steak with sauce over broccolini, and stuffed squash with vegetables. Favorite had to of been the stuffed squash. Not exactly sure what all was in it but definitely spinach - so amazing! The shrimp and grits were very cheesy and super flavorful (lots o butter!). The steak was thinly sliced and the broccolini underneath was steamed to perfection. I would love to have this company cater my wedding bc it was so incredibly delicious. Would highly recommend it!!!

Chef Brandon from Plate to Plate was our chef and he made an absolutely delicious dinner. We had two appetizers, a salad, main dish, and dessert and all of them were exceptional. Brandon arrived about three hours prior to the start of our dinner to get everything prepared. He was very friendly and polite, and explained to us about all the courses that we were about to eat. After the meal was over, he cleaned up all the dishes, ran them through the dishwasher, and left the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived. We also worked with Dani, who was the coordinator, and it was a pleasure working with her. The price was reasonable for such a wonderful dinner, and there were no surprise additions to the proposal. We would highly recommend Plate to Plate, and especially chef Brandon for any occasions if you are traveling in the 30A region.

Stick with Hunter! Book him! You won't regret it.

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.

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
