Unfortunately Criolla's is not open on Mondays in October:sosad:

Maybe you should have your official anniversary dinner at one of the places mentioned above and then have a "post-anniversary" dinner at Criolla's the next day;-)

Mango: let me know what you find out about Josephine's. I would love to go there on a much needed "date" with my hubby.

also, we have gone to The Terrace for our anniversary and really enjoyed it. we've also been with a big group. It's a really nice restaurant without being fancy in the least. cozy and friendly. a nice place for a steak and vino...

we almost never go to the other restaurants on 30A because when we get the chance to go out to eat (without kid) we just have to go to our very favorite - Borago.

I loved indigojill's suggestion regarding Fish out of Water - and I may use this idea for my anniversary (next year)...

Another special treat is Bloom's Cafe. It is not an ordinary dining experience at all...

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'.

A little late replying to this - I've been out of town.

The TreeFrog is definitely NOT over 70. :blink: :lol:

I can see why the older folks like the Terrace, though. It's not loud (like so many of the SoWal joints), and that's precisely one of the reasons I suggested it. I love Borago (for instance), but I wouldn't dream of going there for a "romantic" dinner, nor would I suggest B&A's, despite my fondness for Dave and his staff. I also find the service at the Terrace to be consistently professional and attentive.

That's what I've heard from our friends regarding The Terrace.

Hey, Mermy, I was just kidding about the Cafe Thirty-A website gratuity. I've got a few websites that need updating, and I'm the webmaster.:blush:

Ocean Club is a pretty good anniversary dinner type place as well. DH proposed to me at Seagars. I really want to try Cafe Thirty-A.

Borago isn't really an intimate setting though I would certainly enjoy it any time.

But Onano in Rosemary Beach!!! That is the ticket Mango... this is very small and intimate and wonderful food. went there on our last anniversary. Loved loved loved it. must have reservations.

Onano Neighborhood Cafe at Rosemary Beach is situated on the ground floor of the Pensione, a minute's walk from the beach and the beautiful blue-green water of the Gulf of Mexico. This establishment, owned and operated by Penny and Mark Dragonette, specializes in Northern Italian cuisine and features fresh local seafood, choice beef and exciting foods from the Tuscany region.

Fish out of Water - Jaie (spelling?) is still there taking care of the front of the house and he's outstanding. You should have near-perfect service and the food's fabulous.
or
Cafe Provence - especially if you like foie gras. They have an obscenely expensive tasting menu, and I can't wait to go back.

Each of the restaurants have tables tucked out of the way, great wine lists, great food and great service.

I didn't know I was hungry till I started to read this thread!

Congratulations on your anniversary Mango. How many years?
