This sounds very delish, will be there soon. Have not seen the inside of the restaurant since the renovations but the outside looks great! Congrats Johnny.

Thanks Franny. Now that the renovations are complete we can focus on making our guests especially happy.

BTW, my son Jonathan is a high school senior and he has a new business. He is the first Florida retailer for a unique line of specialty olive oils, truffle oil and other delectables. O&Co. is the line and he sells it at Criolla's.

The truffle fries I was talking about are made with his product (please pardon the shameless promotion).

This is all fun stuff and I hope you come by to check it out.

I want that 30A salad! Now.

Congrats!

Menu looks great I can't wait to try it. Hmmm...maybe we need to get some pics.

 

[DuneLaker]

Great news. Must stop by asap.

Nice menu! And I know it will taste really good if the food you served at the Seaside Rep's Prom is any indication. the restaurant looks wonderful inside; you did a fantastic job on the renovations!

Best wishes on the new configuration! I am sure the food is excellent as always. I do lots of events with your catering staff but never bump into you. Hello to the family and hope to see you at the restaurant- I look forward to a nice sit down lunch. Sincerely, Amy (your first bartender)

Amy,

Thanks for the good vibes! I look forward to seeing you - it's been too long.

Peace and happiness,

:roll: Holy Smokes!!! This may be one of the best meals on 30A I've eaten for lunch. This is basically a very tasty gourmet open-face bbq sandwich. Anyone who likes onion rings will love these, too. Also ate a bowl of the Gumbo and it was good stuff, this coming from a Gumbo fanatic. Thumbs up, all the way around! Thanks to Johnny, Chef Shayne, and our server.

I love me some Fabrice for lunch, but now I may have to put Criolla's on my lunch list! By the way, they have the coldest beer on 30A. I took a photo of my food, but the empty plate would convey my thoughts much better. If you haven't been to Criolla's for lunch, you better get your booty over there. Yummy!
