“Sandor’s” Building Moving to Alys Beach

Alys Beach, Florida – (March 6, 2008) – Sandor’s Restaurant is moving to Alys Beach!… Well, kinda. That is, the building that was formerly home to Sandor’s Restaurant on County Road 395 in Seagrove will literally be transported down Scenic 30A, where it will serve as the location for a brand new restaurant called “George’s at Alys Beach.”

“The Sandor’s building is being lifted onto a truck this week, and we expect to move it to Alys Beach within a couple of weeks,” said Eddie Foster, Alys Beach’s Vice President of Commercial Construction. “Because of utility lines, the roof will be temporarily detached during the move, so the timing is all subject to good weather.”

The building was constructed in the 1980s and has been a part of the 30A dining scene for at least 25 years. The building was eventually scheduled for demolition.

“I believe it was originally built as a sandwich shop and a fresh fish market, and of course, it later became Sandor’s, a well-known fine dining establishment,” said George Hartley, owner of nearby Seagrove Village Market Café. “Rather than construct an entirely new restaurant at Alys Beach, we decided to recycle and preserve this special part of 30A’s history.”

The building’s unique trip along Scenic 30A will cover about 7 miles and is expected to take a few hours, before it is placed on its new foundation at Alys Beach. There, it will become “George’s,” a new restaurant located directly on 30A. Hartley said that after a few interior renovations and exterior decking is added, the restaurant will seat approximately 55 diners.

“Part of 30A’s soul is in that building,” laughed Hartley. “We’re thrilled that we can bring its special energy and local authenticity to our new home in Alys Beach.”

ABOUT ALYS BEACH
One of the most beautiful new resort towns in the world, Alys Beach is located on Scenic Highway 30A in Florida’s panhandle, along what The New York Times said “may be the best beach in the continental U.S.”

Alys Beach’s extraordinary architectural vision drew inspirations from both Bermuda and the family courtyard homes of Antigua, Guatemala. When complete, the town will be home to over 600 villas, rowhouses, courtyard homes and family compound retreats, as well as numerous restaurants and shops. All homes in Alys Beach are built to Fortified…For Safer Living® building standards, as certified by the Institute for Business & Home Safety, and are also built to the Green Home Designation Standard of the Florida Green Building Coalition.

“Alys Beach may be the most truly innovative community under construction in the United States today, and it will eventually be imitated everywhere,” said Andrés Duany, who was ranked one of the Top 5 most influential people in home building by Builder magazine.

Alys Beach marketing director Mike Ragsdale announced plans to move the old Sandor’s building in Seagrove to Alys Beach, where it will house George’s restaurant.
Ragsdale said it had been a tough secret to keep. So many folks wondered how George’s could open this summer when there was no building under construction at Alys Beach. Rather than rebuild Sandor’s, George and Ann Hartley, owners of George’s, decided to recycle the old restaurant.
Now that the permits are completed and work has begun to move Sandor’s, Ragsdale wanted South Walton residents and visitors to be prepared for the delays that might occur during the seven-mile trip down 30A.
The building will be put on jacks and loaded onto a trailer this week, he said. The roof has to be removed because of power lines along the route, so the actual move will be planned when there are about five days with no anticipated rain.
If all goes as scheduled, the building will be moved by the end of next week, he said.
The old building will be placed on a foundation on the north side of 30A at Castle Harbor Drive. There’s a sentimental attachment to the building that housed a fish place and later a fine dining establishment, and though there will be renovations inside and a deck added for outside dining, the restaurant will retain its authentic look, Ragsdale said.

Please note that the "Sandor's" building will likely be moving East along Scenic 30A starting tomorrow morning (Wed, 3/19) at 6:30 a.m. It will be moved from its present location on CR-283 in Seagrove (just north of Seagrove Village Market Cafe) to its new home in Alys Beach. The move is expected to take a few hours.

Does this mean that if you need to get from the east end to Seaside that you can't? Will one side of the road be open or should we use 98?

Actually I would think moving anything that large would be done best in the day light. They could set up massive spot lights, but that might not be as appealing either.

how so? i don't think light would be the defining issue. every building i've seen moved any distance has happened at night, so as to impact traffic as little as possible. moving this building during the day at the height of spring break seems like the least advantageous time, imo.

In the newspaper it said that they were waiting for a few days with no rain because the roof had to be taken off. It looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, so maybe it won't happen?

What would the poor drunks think if they're weaving down 30A in the middle of the night and get caught behind a house? They're liable to just pull into someone's driveway and sit there for hours idling, thinking they're caught in "traffic." That's just cruel, John R!

I would avoid 283 and everything East of there, use 98!nevermind, they answered my question.

why not in the middle of the night?I thought that DOT required all home moves to be during daylight hours.

how so? i don't think light would be the defining issue. every building i've seen moved any distance has happened at night, so as to impact traffic as little as possible. moving this building during the day at the height of spring break seems like the least advantageous time, imo.I've seen only maybe 15 homes being moved, four in your neighborhood, and all of them have been in daylight hours, and one was stuck in the ditch for more than half a day. I guess it is easier to see if something goes wrong, if it is done in the daylight. I seem to recall interstate moves requiring moves to be only on the weekends, as there are typically lower traffic counts at that time.

Now, let's get to the important part. >>> What time will George's open tomorrow night? :idontno:

It was not all that fun this morning when some random guy in a truck made me get off 30-A (I was heading west) and made me (as well as about 15 other drivers) pull off into that gravel parking lot just past the Baptist Church where those old storage units used to be. I really didn't mind, just no one told us what was going on. But it was kind of odd seeing a building cruising down the road :)

There was one tourist in a Caddie that I think attempted to pass on the bike path. It was kind of funny.

Isn't that right?That was correct for a while, but I think he and the owner agreed to separate. It's difficult to have two executive chefs. Last we heard from his daughter, he was trying to open a restaurant in the town where she lived. He had problems with the local gov't and the building requirements. Something about the building dept giving him approval to open a restaurant, so he bought the building, only to have the rules changed in a week or two after he bought it, blah, blah, blah. I'm hoping he is making progress with it.

Ann and George Hartley Are Alive & Well On The Redneck Riviera (http://dallasdirt.dmagazine.com/2008/05/27/ann-and-george-hartley-are-alive-well-on-the-redneck-riviera/)

You may recall a darling store at Preston Center and on Lovers Lane called Ann Hartley a few years back in Dallas. Well, I am in the Redneck Riviera (http://www.watercolorvacations.com/) for the weekend, red as a lobster, body surfing (http://www.wjhg.com/home/headlines/19265939.html) (with care, sadly two people (http://www.newsherald.com/news/beach_4053___article.html/body_city.html)have died in the Gulf this weekend), and had the pleasure of meeting the fabulous peep behind that store, Ann and George, at a cocktail party Saturday night. Ann and George Hartley and three children left Dallas for the sunshine state a few years ago. Now he has a darling restaurant called The Seagrove MarketCafe (world famous Po-Boys and Grouper sandwiches) where we lived it up on hush puppies and fried oysters. George is opening a new restaurant down on county road 30A this June. The name: George’s. Ann shops Paris (http://dallasdirt.dmagazine.com/shoppingpariswithannhartley.com)with willing tourists. Both have a new home at Alys Beach (http://www.alysbeach.com/#home)and send their love to everyone in Dallas. If you head this way, get over to the SeagroveMarketCafe and, in about 30 days, George’s.

“George’s at Alys Beach” to Open on July 18
Alys Beach, Florida – (July 10, 2008) – In March, a building formerly known to locals as Sandor’s Restaurant was lifted from its foundation in Seagrove and then transported down Scenic 30A to a brand new home in Alys Beach.

On Friday, July 18, that transplanted building will be reborn as “George’s at Alys Beach”—a new casual dining experience.

“Rather than construct an entirely new restaurant, we decided to recycle and preserve this special part of South Walton’s history,” said owner George Hartley, who also owns Seagrove Village Market Café. “Part of 30A’s soul is in that building.”

Located directly on 30A, George’s menu features both "be-have" and "mis-be-have" options. Those feeling like "misbehaving" can enjoy selections such as fried or wood-grilled seafood baskets, po-boys, George's Famous Grouper Sandwich, Senora Anna's Fish Tacos and an item called "The Best Burger on 30A.” Those preferring to "behave" will enjoy fresh tuna salad nicoise, coconut shrimp salad, wood-grilled tofu on a bed of veggie soba noodles, grilled veggie plates and a variety of healthy wraps.

“We just love living in Alys Beach, and it's so exciting to be the first merchants here in what will ultimately become the new Town Center,” said Ann Hartley.

The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor dining, and will be open for lunch from 11am until 3pm and for dinner from 5pm until 9pm, every day except Sunday.

For more information, please call 866-481-8387.

ABOUT ALYS BEACH
One of the most beautiful new towns in the world, Alys Beach is located on Scenic Highway 30A in Florida’s panhandle, along what The New York Times said “may be the best beach in the continental U.S.”

Alys Beach’s extraordinary architectural vision drew inspirations from both Bermuda and the family courtyard homes of Antigua, Guatemala. When complete, the town will be home to over 600 villas, row houses, courtyard homes and family compound retreats, as well as numerous restaurants, parks, pools and shops. All homes in Alys Beach are built to Fortified…for safer living® building standards, as designated by the Institute for Business & Home Safety, and are also built to the Green Home Designation Standard of the Florida Green Building Coalition. In April, Forbes.com named Alys Beach America’s “Best Spot for the Design-Savvy.”

“Alys Beach may be the most truly innovative community under construction in the United States today, and it will eventually be imitated everywhere,” said Andrés Duany, who was ranked one of the Top 5 most influential people in home building by Builder magazine.

Those feeling like "misbehaving" can enjoy selections such as fried or wood-grilled seafood baskets, Po-boys, George's Famous Grouper Sandwich, Senora Anna's Fish Tacos and an item called "The Best Burger on 30A.” Those preferring to "behave" will enjoy fresh Tuna Salad Niçoise, Coconut Shrimp salad, wood-grilled tofu on a bed of veggie soba noodles, rilled veggie plates and a variety of healthy wraps.

Woohoo!!! Can't wait to mis-behave at George's. Tho I will probably have to behave a little. Mr. A was a little worried when he read the "Behave" ad in the paper. He's not a tofu/veggie kind of guy.

No, stopped by this evening and grabbed a menu, looks grayt, but the sign out front said they were only practicing (perhaps invite only) and Monday (tomorrow) is the opening night.

We are headin down next week and wanna stop in for some eats, as the menu looks great. Is it going to be a laid back shorts and flip flops kinda place(which all places should be at the beach in my opinion)or is it a "look at my new izod that the dude sitting across from me is also wearing" type joint?

Based on the menu it didn't seem like an overly stuffy place. Although I'm sure sandy wet bathing suits are a little to casual.

I drove by today around lunch time and there were cars all around the place so I am guessing it is open. :clap:


Now, Skunky, take Punzy there and give us one of your great reviews!

I just got back from a late lunch at "George's" and the experience was simply delightful. We sat out on the back, screened-in porch and had a fantastic meal. The tables are positions close to one another, allowing for friendly conversation between everyone. We split the Grouper Sandwich and the Coconut Shrimp Salad, both were wonderful. The desserts looked sinful (at least on the menu) and the dinner menu that Ann gave us had me wanting to stick around!

Certainly would recommend everyone check it out!
