I was scared reading the previous review, so I made a reservation to scope things out. It was wonderful as always, we eat at Tango 6+ times a year and were so happy to see chef walter still there, he is the chef owner and has been there for ten years. He has changed the menu a bit focusing on... more

One of the best restaurants in the area. The new chef is from Spain so the menu has changed to reflect that. My friend and I sat in an intimate little corner and enjoyed a great night of food and chat. Select appetizers of croquets and tuna, followed by any of the main courses of fish. save room for dessert... more

We are locals, not tourists, and had not been back to a restaurant that we rated as good but not great 1-2 years ago. Something has changed for the better!!! We loved the entire meal---superb service and food. Appetizers were excellent--seared scallops, seafood stuffed peppers, gnocci were all delicious. The ribeye steak with foie gras was absolutely incredible. Great wine... more

My wife and I enjoyed Cafe Tango, but it was our 3rd favorite restaurant of the 3 we experienced on 30-A last week. We loved the feel and intimacy of the place.

We have been to Santa Rosa a handful of times and ventured into Cafe Tengo with a group of 6 about 8 one evening. We figured we might be able to make a reservation for another night on our trip. There are only a few tables there. The waiter and owner were beyond welcoming and said they would be able... more

We have been coming to this area for a decade. This small place has the best food and a killer wine list of Spanish wines. The waitstaff (Rob and Steve) are the most professional waiters in the area. We even took our 4 year old and were treated like gold. We simply cant say enough about this 30a standard. more

By far the best restaurant in Destin and even in my top 5 overall best anywhere. This was an amazing experience in all areas...the food was delicious and savory with quaility ingredients. One (of many) dishes I had was the filet with gorgonzola/crab meat topping that melted in my mouth. The service was the kind that quitely made sure you... more

So far, the best restaurant in the beach area. Excellent attentive service. Polished presentations and outstanding seafood. The menu shows a distinct Latin influence which seasons the atmosphere. more

Cafe Tango is a destination restaurant. We have eaten at about 20 restaurants in the Santa Rosa Beach area and this is our favorite. Ambiance and service are memorable and the food is fabulous. Try the Dancing Fish with grouper, scallops and shrimp or the pistacchio crusted grouper-yum! more
