Consistently good fine dining options moving east to west along 30-A: Cuvee 30-A, Paradis, Café 30-A, Surfing Deer, Trebeache, Basmati's. Sometimes good, but pretty inconsistent: Havana, Bud and Alley's, Fish Out of Water, The Vue.

I'll be polite and leave the over rated stuff unsaid. There are quite a few popular SoWal restaurants are over rated in my book but there are some true gems - usually where owners or managers are hands on and know their stuff and have attention to detail. Although there are a few hands on people whose table cloths don't quite cover the whole table if you catch my drift. :lol:

I always try to boost businesses that are good and ignore the others. I am glad that a place like New Orleans doesn't put up with bad restaurants - at least most everywhere except the French Quarter where tourists are gonna be, tourists are trapped, tourists are gonna eat.
Unfortunately SoWal is like that in the Summer. Some places can stay in business just from Summer tourists.

Another problem is that a restaurant change partly or completely, so even if the entire menu, staff, and ownership changes for the better, an internet post can do long -term damage. Unfair!

IF you want a real interesting discussion, let's talk about Wait Staff / Service as opposed to food and see who's who.
