If you could only have one dining out experience while in SoWal, where would you go and why?
Cafe Provence?
Cafe Tango?
Gravel Road?

Let me apologize for RiverOtter who didn't read the choices given. :funn:
Cafe Tango has great food and service. The atmosphere is cozy, and well suited for a quite couple to dine.
Gravel Road has great food and service, both leaning on the side of "excellent." The atmosphere would be a little more versatile, giving a cozy feel for a quiet couple, but also making larger tables feel very welcome. The front dining area is a little more casual and kid friendly.
So, I guess it depends on your mood, cozy vs a little more exciting and fun. Both are great.
I've eaten at Cafe Provence while Sandor was cooking, and the food was great. Sandor is no longer cooking there, and the menu is rich and hearty with heavy cream sauces, and such -- Old school French. Atmosphere is French-Country. Service is good.
I think, out of the three choices given, I would choose Gravel Road. Cafe Tango would place second on my list of choices, and I would substitute another option for number three.

You can pick any where. I didn't mean to narrow it to those I listed.

make it a progressive dinner !!!
Criolla's for drinks and tapas
D&K for dinner
Gravel Road for dessert
all three of the above restaurants are very near each other.

Depends on my mood. It'd either be Caf? Thirty-A or Borago.

Toots keeps telling me we need to go here. It sounds like the kind of place where legends are made but maybe better not shared.:lol:

Progressive dinner is a GRAYT idea... Here would be my picks:
1. Wine & Appetizers: Caf? Tango
2. Entrees: D&K Caf?, Borago's or Gravel Road (can't go wrong with any)
3. Dessert & Coffee: Caf? 30A (Banana Beignets!!!!!!)
4. After-dinner cocktails: Courtyard Wine (laid-back/quiet), Old Florida Fish House (fun live music) or Caf? Rendez-vous (people-watching)

From what we've heard, Bloom's sounds almost like the Chef Paul Luna adventure in the Atlanta area where he would take off a piece of clothing after each course. Sometimes he'd end up with only an apron on.
But Paul is really funn (even though his nude Sunday brunch failed in Buckhead :floor:). Since he knows we're foodies, he would always invite us to the kitchen to help him cook. Grayt experience.

Italian, with plenty of seafood offerings. From starters (especially tomato bisque) to salad to entree to desert, everything is very well done, well presented and tasty. My highest compliment is the consistency. Before I forget, professional service also.
Now, I like all on your list (haven't tried Provence), but for one meal---always Borago.
