Cafe Thirty-A

What to know

Cafe Thirty-A serves a contemporary dinner menu in a polished but casual setting in Seagrove Beach. The current menu covers seafood, steaks, salads, wine, and martinis, and it lists crab cake as both a starter and an entree. The owner especially recommends the crab cakes and considers them the best on 30A.

This is a stronger fit for a date night, celebration, or planned finer-dining meal than for a quick or inexpensive dinner. Current entree prices put it in the upscale range, and reservations are required. Recent review patterns describe the room as suitable for special occasions while still feeling less formal than a traditional white-tablecloth restaurant.

The daily BOHO special rewards a very early reservation: buy one entree at regular price and receive a second entree of equal or lesser value half off. Guests must be seated by 5 p.m., the order must reach the kitchen by 5:15 p.m., and the offer is dine-in only and cannot be combined with another discount. The restaurant currently opens for dinner at 4:30 p.m. and offers valet parking every night during the season, so confirm parking arrangements outside that period.
