    We had a wonderful dining experience at Vue on 30A! Our waiter, John, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure our party of five was well taken care of. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The shrimp and scallops were perfectly prepared, and the 16oz Pork Tomahawk was cooked beautifully. Portions were more than adequate for the cost. To end the meal on a sweet note, we enjoyed the Chef’s crème brûlée, beignets, and white chocolate bread pudding—each dessert was absolutely decadent. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to the area!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Grand Marlin last night. The grouper piccata is always amazing. We appreciated our server’s recommendation on martinis. As well. The praline basket and key lime pie were shared amongst 4 of us. Yummy!

    It's great for a special night out. We have visited for past anniversaries and this time for my wife's birthday. Edie is a great waitress and remembered us from a prior visit years ago. My wife and I had different entries—both were excellent. Beet salad is a great starting point. Save room for the bread pudding (there was plenty to share). We ate around 5:30, so we had a great view of the Gulf's surf (it was a high wind that day, so turbulent).
