Fodor's Expert Review Café Thirty-A

About 1½ miles east of Seaside in a beautiful Florida-style home with high ceilings and a wide veranda, this restaurant has an elegant look—bolstered by white-linen tablecloths—and impeccable service. The menu changes nightly and might include such entrées as wood-oven-roasted wild king salmon, sesame-crusted rare yellowfin tuna, and grilled filet mignon. Even if you if don't usually go for Southern food, you should try the appetizer of grilled Georgia quail with creamy grits and sage fritters. With nearly 20 creative varieties, the martini menu alone is worth the trip.
