Beautiful restaurant.
The cornbread was yummy. We had the mussels in Green Curry for App. Mussells cooked perfect but the sauce was pure brown sugar and no curry flavor at all. Actually ruined the mussels that were in the sauce.
Bacon wrapped scallops next. One side perfectly seared but bottom had no sear and one of the scallops was so salty that we could not eat it. The other two scallops tasted good and would have been bettter with the perfect sear.
Sliders were ok. Tasty homeade fries. Skip the guava ketchup
The dessert was a Strawberry Shortcake Flambe'. Flambe not working yet, but they hope to have it flaming in a few weeks.
Server was great dinner not so much. Food is trying to hard.
Anybody have any reviews? Is it worth going back and trying different items? Maybe it was an off night because they were closed Sunday and Monday.
The restaurant alone is BEAUTIFUL and congrats to the designer

Unlike most of the Daily News critics, Colleen tends to be pretty critical of high end for the area restaurants. And she liked V.

V simply gets everything right. It is a modern place in the heart of traditional Seagrove Beach where you will find exquisite food, a beautiful space and welcoming service.

IMO between V and Caliza, the other 30-A restaurants are going to have to step up their service and quality to keep the "fine dining" crowd.

I hope you're not saying that Cafe 30-A and Fire have dropped down a notch. I think we are blessed with a resurgence of great restaurants. I just wish I had a little more disposable income to enjoy it all.

No, Fire knocked my socks off Sunday w/ some amazing Cobia. Don't usually eat at Cafe 30-A, so I don't know about them/wasn't talking about them.
Was just thinking that many restaurants on 30-A have similar price points and menu options, and I think in some cases comparisons between them and the new restaurants may not be in their favor - especially when it's the difference of a mile or a couple miles.
Ditto with you on the disposable income - I think most of us have less of it these days and so we are more careful where we spend it.

Could not have said it better.

A friend of mine in ATL who owns a home in SoWal and is very much a foodie says that he was pleased with the food at V, but felt rushed between courses, as though they were trying to turn tables quickly due to the crowd.
He adored the atmosphere and ambiance and will be back.
We'll try it soon.

Went to V again and happy to report our dinner was wonderful. We had the bacon wrapped scallops and chimichuri on the side. They were cooked beautifully. Husband had and Old Fashioned and it was the best in town. Also had New York Strip with dirty rice and smashed potatoes. All spectacular. Not rushed at all during dinner on a busy Thursday night.

Went to "V" for the first time Friday night. Parking, of course is a nightmare, valet lot full. After 1 hour and 15 minute wait and told we were next... then watched the hostess seat another couple, when asked she smirked " well NOW your next"
Seated next to bar and it was VERY loud, could not hear the waiter, courses a little rushed, food for this level of restaurant...average.
Much prefer Cafe 30A, Fire, Cafe Tengo.

I think I would have changed my mind at the hour and 15 minute wait.
Sorry Papa J for your disappointment.
Keep in mind it's very busy for restaurants during the last horrah of the season.
Try it again when the kids go back to school.

I won't wait for tables - I either go somewhere else or eat at the bar. Plenty of restaurants in Sowal.
The V bar is one of the best bars to eat at IMO.
The hostesses there are the only staff there who I don't think do a great job.
