Cafe Thirty-A

“One of my top 10 restaurants I have ever experienced! White table cloths and distinguished servers at this lovely place. This time I enjoyed a tender filet with a demiglaze, jumbo asparagus and rectangle shaped potato scallop. I endulged on their seasonal strawberry shortcake made with a sweet bisquit and plenty of strawberries to lap up the juice. I would go weekly, but the prices are high. However, they do offer a reasonable priced early culinary experience. Oh how lucky I have been to experience Cafe Thirty A. Next time the crab cake!”

“Didn’t get pics of everything we ate but this was a great place. Family of four with middle schoolers. Usually take the easy route and find a pizza joint or food truck if we’re eating out. Decided to level up and dress up for a nicer dinner. Cafe ThirtyA did not disappoint. Fancy inside but wear your beach-best and you’ll be use fine. Appetizers were incredible. Service (waiter was Clark and dude knows ball!) was 💯. If you’re looking for a slightly nicer dinner at a decent price point for the food, go to this place. We’ll go back!”

“The perfect dinner for our last night in the area. Everything about the experience felt easy and enjoyable from the start. We were able to get a reservation the same day, within 10 minutes of calling, which was such a nice surprise. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were great, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Every part of the meal exceeded our expectations. The best part of the night, though, was our server, Rob V. He was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. His customer service was outstanding, and he kept us laughing the whole evening. We also found out he is an incredibly talented artist, which made the experience even more memorable. We truly could not have asked for a better way to end our trip. Rob made our visit so special and made the trip from Texas completely worth it. Highly recommend.”

“As a local of 35 years, I can say Café Thirty-A remains a crown jewel of Seagrove Beach/30a. We timed our off-season visit for 4:45 PM to hit the Daily BOGO window (4:30–5:00 PM), which is hands-down the best fine-dining value on the coast. Service: Huge shout out to Jay! His personality is as big as his 30-year local history. It’s rare to find that level of seasoned expertise and authentic area knowledge. The Food: • Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes: My fiancé raved about these, and I have to agree—best I’ve ever had. • Beef Carpaccio: Gluten-free and executed perfectly with horseradish crème and truffle oil. • Fried Oyster Spinach Salad: We split this on two plates, and the hickory-smoked bacon vinaigrette was the star. • Entrées: Her Pan Seared Snapper with chili crisp squash noodles was fresh and vibrant. My Grilled Filet Mignon was a perfect medium-rare, paired beautifully with a rich potato pavé and Worcestershire reduction. Can’t wait to go back for an early dinner! Be seated by 5pm, then have order in the kitchen no later than 5:15. 🔱 Duplantis • Coastal Curator Honest. Local. No Mediocrity.”

“Service was lovely. Hosts were friendly as we arrived for our reservation. Dennis was helpful and attentive as our server. Cocktails were well executed. The overall quality of the food was great. The wedge salad has an amazing whipped blue cheese dressing, but it is literally swimming in it. Scallop dish was great. Risotto was cooked to perfection, seasoned 5/5. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, but their Worcestershire ‘reduction’ tasted like an extremely sweet BBQ sauce. A-1 would’ve been a better sauce on top. Overall a nice experience. Would try again. 4.2/5”
