Tim Creehan and Jim Altamura are collaborating to bring a second restaurant to County Road 30A. In April, Creehan and Altamura announced plans to open Beach Walk at Redfish Village at the intersection of County Roads 83 and 30A.
Now the restaurateurs have revealed plans that Chops 30A, serving USDA prime steaks, seafood and sushi, will open at the Villages of South Walton near Seacrest Beach on the east end the beach road.
The restaurant will be on the left side of the complex, filling the first floor of the building.
Advance advertising indicates it will be “30A’s premier steakhouse.”
“I think Chops 30A is going to be more elegant than Destin Chops,” said Shannon Smith, Beach Walk’s marketing director.
Altamura will take the lead in the operation of Chops 30A, while Creehan will be on hand at Beach Walk at Redfish Village, as both restaurants anticipate opening next March or April.
