"Chops 30A" announced for Seacrest Beach

[SoWalSally]

Tim Creehan and Jim Altamura are collaborating to bring a second restaurant to County Road 30A. In April, Creehan and Altamura announced plans to open Beach Walk at Redfish Village at the intersection of County Roads 83 and 30A.
Now the restaurateurs have revealed plans that Chops 30A, serving USDA prime steaks, seafood and sushi, will open at the Villages of South Walton near Seacrest Beach on the east end the beach road.
The restaurant will be on the left side of the complex, filling the first floor of the building.
Advance advertising indicates it will be ?30A?s premier steakhouse.?
?I think Chops 30A is going to be more elegant than Destin Chops,? said Shannon Smith, Beach Walk?s marketing director.
Altamura will take the lead in the operation of Chops 30A, while Creehan will be on hand at Beach Walk at Redfish Village, as both restaurants anticipate opening next March or April.

It sounds nice. But not really what I want when I'm at the beach. Sounds a little business dinnerish. Any word on other restaurants that will be going in there? I heard a pizza place. I'd like to see more casual, family friendly places open up on that end. Any restauranteurs out there willing to make me happy?

Sushi and USDA prime beef DO NOT MIX!:roll:

I for one am excited, unless the prices are $40 for a steak. It would be nice to have a really nice dinner, at a nice place, and not have to drive home 15 minutes.
I am hoping for a great wine menu and maybe a 3 piece jazz???

Is this related to Buckhead Life Group's Chops on East Paces Ferry in The A? Like since Chef Paul from Panos and Paul's from BLG failed at Carillon, did he decide to make another shot at "Chops 30-A"?

IBD, I assure you that $40 for a steak is a good guess:shock:

Here is a link to a bargain hound type website. Look how much unprepared USDA prime costs-figure in rent, prep, salaries, etc. BAM! (Even if there is a wholesale discount):shock:
