Cafe Tango

So, my family and I have been vacationing in Santa Rosa Beach for 15 + years. Almost always, we stay in Old Florida Village. I've driven by Cafe Tango a multitude of times but for some reason, never eaten there. Until last night. After a late afternoon at the beach, I called Cafe Tango and was able to make a reservation for 7:30 p.m., probably because the real crowds arrive for spring break next week. When we arrived, all of the tables in the small restaurant were filled with diners, all of whom appeared to be enjoying their meals. What followed for my family and me - including my sons, 15 and 12, was one of the best meals we have ever had in or around 30A (and we've eaten at a lot of restaurants). Impeccable, friendly service, absolutely delicious food, and excellent wine. The dishes - Dancing Fish, Basque Fish, and Lobster Ravioli were, literally, to die for, and I mean that. The Baked Brie appetizer was worth the trip alone. My 12 year old raved about it! Honestly, just a fantastic dining experience at a local restaurant that is independently owned and has been in business for 25 years. I promise you we will return again and again in years to come when we drive down from Nashville.

We finally ate dinner here after years of driving past it. The food was very good and the server (Kendall) was warm, engaging, and attentative. We will be back to try a few other things.

Ken and Kendal were outstanding for service,prompt and shared the history of the building/restaurant. Which was great to learn. I liked the home feel of the environment but the food was the highlight! We visited while chef #1 was away, chef #2 was great and held it down for sure. Look forward to the next visit.
