Sleeping on the corner of 30A this restaurant pays homage to a local legend. The ambiance and patio are great. Be sure to make reservations in advance. The menu is seasonal and features a good variety of options. Grouper and scallops were fantastic but the pasta did not disappoint as well

Beautiful dining experience! We enjoyed the jalapeño cornbread, roasted carrots, the “hanging bacon” and pesto pappardelle with blackened shrimp. Lovely staff complimented our dinner as well, thank you Surfing Deer!

Another place my family has frequented over the years. Our first visit was quite a memory although we have painfully been less satisfied after each subsequent meal. This time we showed up 30 minutes early for our patio reservations to enjoy a drink at the bar before dinner. The bartender was fantastic, offering suggestions and generally being very pleasant. As our reservation time approached and finally past we inquired with the hostess, who assured us a large party was paying and we were up next. 20 minutes later (after sending our son to scout - there was only one large party seated and MANY available and set tables sitting empty on the patio), we asked again. They were still “paying” and because we were getting tired of watching walk-ins go straight to tables, agreed to sit inside. No apologies, nothing said. Sadly it didn’t get better. Our waiter started ok; we ordered our favorite Clothesline Bacon which comes out with a smoking rosemary twig. Phenomenal if not particularly filling. However when it came to dinner our waiter was much more involved with a larger party for most of the night. After ordering main courses, they were delivered by a runner and our waiter didn’t check in on us until it was time for the bill. The beef short ribs were in desperate need of salt and it took sometime to flag a random floor staff person to bring some. I am giving 2 stars largely because the bartender and her cocktails were so delightful. Sadly this was probably our last visit.

Amazing experience all around, food and service were on point. One of the top 30a restaurants hands down. We will definitely be back! Photos include the highlights of the night, the key lime EXPERIENCE is just that... a full on flavor bomb in your mouth!
