    Dinner at "The Vue on 30A"

    I feel obliged to way in on a few comments since I started this thing. I personally call it as I see it too: I tend to not post strong negatives, as recommended by Kurt, as it isn't fair to those establishments working through issues. I have a few restaurants I will not go to again, but have...

    Dinner at "The Vue on 30A"

    We had dinner at the new "Vue on 30A" and it was wonderful. The interior is an amazing transformation to contemporary on the beach, not quite South Beach, which I think is a great thing! The food was excellent. Our table of 8 shared multiple starter, salads and entree dishes and all were...

    Beach vehicle permit ordinance changes

    I wouldn't be surprised that the new draft by the attorney will include provisions which find a way to limit the permits to "Walton County Registered Voters", in some language that is legal. The way the current permits are issued, people who can't vote for or against the commissoners can get...

    Big red brick house on 30-A

    I believe you are referring to "The Davis House" on Redfish lake. Many people living here longer than I knows the history, but It has been here for a few years and was previously surrounded by additional land.

    30A Songwriters Festival, January 15 -17, 2010

    Venue ideas I didn't mention this in my post yesterday, as I am not aware of the logistics planning and the entire revenue/expense stream for festival. But I believe with our limited venue options, and the community desire to make this work in the future, it could be possible to include...

    Sushi?

    Sushimoto is our new favorite for prices and quality! Many of Andy's best creations are not on the menu! Shorty's is still a place we visit once or twice a week, getting Sushi at least once. OFFH is good, especially when Yoshi is working! I am not a fan of Basmati even though they are the...

    Coke or Pepsi?

    NEITHER! Something has to have Diet in front of it, or its too sweet! Diet Coke is definitely preferred. But since its Diet Pepsi served at the Red Bar, I will drink it...only before 11 am. Afterwards there are too many other options. Remember...You can't drink all day, unless you start...

    I heard that Beach Idol was going to happen this weekend, but haven't seen any of the details after basic surfing.

    Old Florida Fish House Restaurant

    I stopped going to TOFFH several years ago after complaining to Kerry the owner that the Bar staff was stealing/overcharging from customers. Many others complained to the same to deaf ears. He finally fired this stealing duo recently and we have returned with some regularity. The current...

    Beach Bar in Gulf Place

    I have been in the new Beach Bar in Gulf Place (Attached to Miss Lucilles) and encourage others to try it. I only had the beer and wine, but the sandwich selection looks good, and comments from others were positive. They appear to draw a crowd for lunch off the beach, and it was busy Memorial...

    98 BBQ (vs. Jambones)

    98 BBQ (vs. Jambones)

    In all my years of living here, I have not been to 98 Barbeque until yesterday. Since they won the recent gumbo contest, and I am a big fan of gumbo, I thought I would try it out. The pork and gumbo was fantastic. Even after splitting a plate, we had to take some home due to their being too...

    Wanted: Local Musician to play guitar and sing at casual wedding

    We have so much talent here in the area, but the first name for something like this would be Bill Evett, a local favorite with a variety of music for background music. He is not who you would use for your dance music!

    Girls trip to Seagrove- 4 have never been to 30A- what are the "musts"?!

    Well you might want to go by Seaside for "First Friday" and wander around the galleries. Rendevous is a great place to have an aperitivo or end of evening glass of wine. Find or create a Derby Party for Saturday afternoon and watch the Run for the Roses at the beach!

    Local Bars padding bills ??

    I have been a long timer lerker on this forum, but recently exposed a problem that bothers me and several others. A visiting friend went with us to a popular bar here on "The A" and at the end of the evening his tab had a few extra drinks added to it that we had not consumed! This had...
