What a great meal!! This restaurant has a great feel...it seems classy and active and fun but not loud. The bread/olive oil was good, not great. The appetizers we had, quail & grits and the crab cake were FANTASTIC! Even if you do not like or want to eat quial, get the grits..I cannot begin to describe how good and... more

Small servings that are over priced. Menu choices are very limited: You had better like seafood to enjoy a meal here. Food was decent, but certainly not impressive enough to go back. After paying top dollar to eat here we left hungry and went somewhere else for desert. more

I had not been to Cafe Thirty A for several years and was really looking forward to going there. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't make you say Wow. It was a very slow night and no one seemed happy to be working. Overall, it just wansn't worth the price. Did have an excellent bottle of wine. more

Thirty A has excellent food and service; however, it will not be on our list of must-visit restaurants for next year's trip. If "fancy" dishes are your thing then this will be right up your alley. Don't get me wrong, the sea bass was excellent and the strawberry-rhubarb tort was fabulous but I could have easily eaten twice this much... more

We ordered the lump crab meat appetizer. It was very good and loaded with crab meat. The lobster was one of the best that I've ever had. Very rich with flavor. The banana beignets (sp?) were very good as well. Our waiter struck the perfect mixture of attentiveness without being overwhelming. Overall we had a very good experience. We left... more

Be sure to check out Cafe 30 A next time you are around the Santa Rosa Beach area. They serve up great food with a very cool vibe. However, be sure to make note of the time you are going. Not only does it get very busy, it also gets very loud. If you are looking for an intimate time... more

We ate at Cafe Thirty-A the day after Christmas. It has a nice atmosphere and service was good, but the food was very average, especially for the price. The chicken pizza and banana beignets were tasteless, and the crab cakes were below par. However, the pork chop was good and we enjoyed the Chocolate Stout cake. Overall, we were a... more

Had dinner at Cafe Thirty A while at the beach. Enjoyed great crab cakes as an appetizer but dinner was a different story. Butterfish was good but over priced ($32 with no salad, entree only). Grilled tuna was also over priced ($31 with no salad), overcooked and tasteless. Waitstaff not particularly interested in taking tuna entree off our bill following... more

Driving by you may not think twice about eating here, but this place has an excellent menu, great service, and the food was served HOT! Of all the dishes everyone tasted, we couldn't help but want more. Reservations a must...dressy casual - family or romantic....must valet. Hope this info is helpful. more
