This sounds very delish, will be there soon. Have not seen the inside of the restaurant since the renovations but the outside looks great! Congrats Johnny.

Thanks Franny. Now that the renovations are complete we can focus on making our guests especially happy.
BTW, my son Jonathan is a high school senior and he has a new business. He is the first Florida retailer for a unique line of specialty olive oils, truffle oil and other delectables. O&Co. is the line and he sells it at Criolla's.
The truffle fries I was talking about are made with his product (please pardon the shameless promotion).
This is all fun stuff and I hope you come by to check it out.

Nice menu! And I know it will taste really good if the food you served at the Seaside Rep's Prom is any indication. the restaurant looks wonderful inside; you did a fantastic job on the renovations!

Best wishes on the new configuration! I am sure the food is excellent as always. I do lots of events with your catering staff but never bump into you. Hello to the family and hope to see you at the restaurant- I look forward to a nice sit down lunch. Sincerely, Amy (your first bartender)

Braised Beef Short Rib Panini
Served open face with aged Tillamook Cheddar,
Horseradish Sauce and Cornmeal Onion Rings.
:roll: Holy Smokes!!! This may be one of the best meals on 30A I've eaten for lunch. This is basically a very tasty gourmet open-face bbq sandwich. Anyone who likes onion rings will love these, too. Also ate a bowl of the Gumbo and it was good stuff, this coming from a Gumbo fanatic. Thumbs up, all the way around! Thanks to Johnny, Chef Shayne, and our server.
I love me some Fabrice for lunch, but now I may have to put Criolla's on my lunch list! By the way, they have the coldest beer on 30A. I took a photo of my food, but the empty plate would convey my thoughts much better. If you haven't been to Criolla's for lunch, you better get your booty over there. Yummy!

S.J, Thanks for the great pic! I am drooling as I type. The short rib sandwich is my favorite lunch time snack. Keep up the good work!!

If I could "snack" on that around lunch time everyday, I'd never need to eat lunch. Damnit! Seeing that picture made me hungry now, even though I stuffed my face twice tonight.

We really enjoyed the shrimp, salad, and avacado soup with crawfish. And the sorbet may have been the best of all. I really liked the strawberry.

Seeing that picture made me hungry now, even though I stuffed my face twice tonight.I am glad to see that I am not the only person wanting to snack at 1am. I am allway's eating all day, but when I get home it is the simple things that I crave. Aged cheddar grilled cheese, Pea and ham soup and my favourite- Cheese, bagette and wine!!!

The Strawberry sorbet ( all sorbets and ice creams) are made from scratch. The Strawberry's where grown locally (40 miles) and the sorbet selection changes with what is ripe and available. I heard rumor of a farmer's market in Seaside this weekend?? Local produce that supports our community and independent farmers!! I am there!! Any one else know if that is the case??

I haven't heard about this weekend - they have a jazz festival. But I did hear some locals were trying to start a farmer's market. Have for awhile actually. The problem is a lack of farmers / product.
Check out For The Health Of It and Toni's for some good stuff.

The burger comes with applewood smoked bacon, avocado, aged cheddar, caramelized onion and a mango-chile ketchup……….oh, and you can have fries with that.
