While I am in Sowal, it will be my wedding anniversary, so any suggestions other than Cafe Tango for intimate dining?
Been to Basmatis, and Cafe Tango and definitely will be going to both again, but to be honest, haven't eaten in too many other fine restaurants, since we are always working and grabbing a quick bite or throwing something on the grill.
Any other suggestions? otherwise I am just going to book Cafe Tango.
Love that Pecan Pie:wub:

Have you tried the Terrace? Not your typical 30A fine dining, but I think the food is great and the atmosphere is certainly cozy.

I'd do Cafe Thirty-A and ask for a table that's out of the way.
I also love Bud & Alley's, but you might get put next to a table full of screaming or "annoyingly cute" kids unless you ask for the main dining room. It has a more "special occasion" atmosphere, but just be sure that the female has a wrap to avoid freezing to death. I have shivered on countless occasions in that room, even in the summertime.

No, I have not tried the Terrace yet. What type of food fare?

The only people who have recommended The Terrace to me are over 70, and due to the generation gap (as in, I don't mean to be critical), their tastes in food tends to be different from the boomers'.

Tried to get in Cafe 30A once, but it was really busy. We always go to Bud and Alleys just for lunch or appetizer tidbits and drinks. I know they have indoor dining too. I'll see if I can find a menu for Cafe 30A.

Thanks BR:wub: saved me the trouble.
I just looked on Kurts dining page, and I may have a winner.
Always wanted to try Criolla's
Check this out:
Welcome to Criolla's website! Check out our new snapper dish, PLANTAIN CRUSTED GENUINE AMERICAN RED SNAPPER Pan roasted and served with Guiso de Maiz, a Cuban saut? of baby corn, ripe tomatoes, smoked pork sarchica and fresh herbs. Finished with rhum vanilla beurre blanc. It's a new favorite.
We've also added MANGO BLUE CRAB SALAD :wub: make from jumbo lump crab, mangos and roma tomatoes in a Kaffir Lime Vinaigrette. It is very refreshing.

Hmmm:scratch: should I say? What if we decide to go and make out on the beach? :razz: It's Monday, the 9th. Columbus Day.

Hey, Beachrunner: I'm under 70 (by 18 years and 22 days) :roll: and I'd recommend the Terrace, too! My wife and I go there every time we come down. As far as we're concerned, it's the best place at that end of the beach, much better than the ones up 30A. The food -- Mediterranean style -- is always wonderful. One time they had a whole grilled pompano that might've been the best fish I've ever tasted. The atmosphere would be good for an anniversary dinner. 😀

I have not been to the Terrace in YEARS. It is literally down the street from me. Bluznbeach you have convinced me to go and dine there again...

BR, that website is in dire need of updating. It doesn't look like anyone's touched it for at least half a year so who knows if the menu listed is last year's or this year's. 😱 Paula and I were talking about going there for dinner one night--the $20 3 course fall special is pretty appealing--so I fired them off an e-mail to see what's accurate on their menu, just to be sure of no surprises.

Thanks IBD. I am not worried about the cost, just if they have something different that I wouldn't make at home. I also have to avoid shellfish until I can sit in my doctors office with a basket of shrimp and see what happens. I had a reaction to a catscan, and my head blew up like a tomato. They told me I was allergic to shellfish.:pissed: But, I had eaten it all my life, but apparently its one of those allergies that can happen overnight, so I want to go somewhere that has multiple choices, grouper, mahi etc.
