Founded in 1995 by Harriet Crommelin, Cafe Thirty-A has grown into a local favorite with distinctive longevity and an enviable menu. Their menu is packed with so many gourmet delights that you may not know where to start.
Meg Loehr of Defender Title and Escrow Agency offered to help our readers by suggesting one of her all time favorites dishes after years of frequenting this restaurant!
Like all good meals, it is more than just the food that is memorable. “Imagine being greeted by a friendly valet, then being received by a smiling hostess,” says Meg.”Fresh linens and an elegant table await you as your experienced servers professionally take care of your needs.”
On her first visit years ago, she ordered the sesame-crusted yellowfin. This pan-seared tuna is appetizing in appearance and perfectly flavored with infused oils, wasabi and soy. It is served alongside fresh, stir-fried vegetables that are bright in color, bold in flavor. “Fast forward 11 years and it is still my favorite go-to dish,” says Meg.
The management team comprised of General Manager Dave Kessler, Jim Joy and Jackie Maliszewski have worked together for more than 18 years and verified the tuna’s popularity. Also popular are the crab cakes made with jumbo lump crab fresh from Apalachicola and grilled Georgia quail.
For Thanksgiving, consider ordering Cafe Thirty-A’s special lunch service. Or, you can attend their annual Christmas Charity Ball to benefit Caring and Sharing on December 2. This black tie affair features champagne, a DJ, and so much more! Last year’s event raised a record-breaking $35,000.
With that, I leave you to explore one of the longest-running restaurants in our area for yourself, Cafe Thirty-A!
