Anniversary Dinner

Have you tried the Terrace? Not your typical 30A fine dining, but I think the food is great and the atmosphere is certainly cozy.

I'd do Cafe Thirty-A and ask for a table that's out of the way.

I also love Bud & Alley's, but you might get put next to a table full of screaming or "annoyingly cute" kids unless you ask for the main dining room. It has a more "special occasion" atmosphere, but just be sure that the female has a wrap to avoid freezing to death. I have shivered on countless occasions in that room, even in the summertime.

No, I have not tried the Terrace yet. What type of food fare?

The only people who have recommended The Terrace to me are over 70, and due to the generation gap (as in, I don't mean to be critical), their tastes in food tends to be different from the boomers'.

Tried to get in Cafe 30A once, but it was really busy. We always go to Bud and Alleys just for lunch or appetizer tidbits and drinks. I know they have indoor dining too. I'll see if I can find a menu for Cafe 30A.

Thanks BR saved me the trouble.

I just looked on Kurts dining page, and I may have a winner.
Always wanted to try Criolla's

Check this out:
Welcome to Criolla's website! Check out our new snapper dish, PLANTAIN CRUSTED GENUINE AMERICAN RED SNAPPER Pan roasted and served with Guiso de Maiz, a Cuban saut? of baby corn, ripe tomatoes, smoked pork sarchica and fresh herbs. Finished with rhum vanilla beurre blanc. It's a new favorite.

We've also added MANGO BLUE CRAB SALAD make from jumbo lump crab, mangos and roma tomatoes in a Kaffir Lime Vinaigrette. It is very refreshing.

I have been meaning to go there too. Hum, all the choices
Nice web site, but they have no menu there.

I have a killer creme brulee recipe I'll send you IBD. I love it too.

What day is your anniversary?

Hmmm:scratch: should I say? What if we decide to go and make out on the beach? It's Monday, the 9th. Columbus Day.

Take a pic of the creme brulee please.

I wonder if people think we are weird because we take pictures of food??

Hey, Beachrunner: I'm under 70 (by 18 years and 22 days) :roll: and I'd recommend the Terrace, too! My wife and I go there every time we come down. As far as we're concerned, it's the best place at that end of the beach, much better than the ones up 30A. The food -- Mediterranean style -- is always wonderful. One time they had a whole grilled pompano that might've been the best fish I've ever tasted. The atmosphere would be good for an anniversary dinner.

A small portion of the menu It ain;t cheap but it is GOOD!!!

I have not been to the Terrace in YEARS. It is literally down the street from me. Bluznbeach you have convinced me to go and dine there again...

BR, that website is in dire need of updating. It doesn't look like anyone's touched it for at least half a year so who knows if the menu listed is last year's or this year's. Paula and I were talking about going there for dinner one night--the $20 3 course fall special is pretty appealing--so I fired them off an e-mail to see what's accurate on their menu, just to be sure of no surprises.

Thanks IBD. I am not worried about the cost, just if they have something different that I wouldn't make at home. I also have to avoid shellfish until I can sit in my doctors office with a basket of shrimp and see what happens. I had a reaction to a catscan, and my head blew up like a tomato. They told me I was allergic to shellfish. But, I had eaten it all my life, but apparently its one of those allergies that can happen overnight, so I want to go somewhere that has multiple choices, grouper, mahi etc.

Will you let us know what you find out Mermaid?

Well, actually Harriet's menu changes daily, so what you see on the website is just representative of a typical menu. She can, however, chose to hire me, her neighbor and savior of her dog on multiple occasions, to keep her website updated on a daily basis for a small neighborly gratuity.

Yes, Mr. Dbuck made a comment about it the other day. . . "You all take pictures of food?" He just doesn't get it.

Mermaid, I checked their menu today and noticed that the fall special said 2005 Fall Special. Let us know if they still have a fall special.

We like to go to 30A cafe when in SoWal. We also went to a wonderful place a couple of years ago called Fish Out of Water in Watercolor. It was really nice. We sat in a small room that I think was their wine cellar room. Had a wonderful meal and great wine. Did not go there last year so don't know if it is still good.

They have been advertising a Fall special menu in the Walton Sun the last few weeks.

Here's my suggestion - if you like to sit down and dine, think about Fish Out of Water at WaterColor. Call ahead, tell them it's your anniversary, and have them do a tasting menu or something for you. Ask for a table on the porch or tucked away (maybe in the wine room?) I love the ambiance at Fish, and if you are in to dining and plan ahead with them, they can do something really special for you and where we go on special occassions. Happy Anniversary!
