vue on 30a

excellent evening! all 4 in my groupordereda different entree and no one was disappointed. a clean plate restaurant if there ever was one! and dinner on the patio was outstanding. very upscale service, highly attentive waiter, just a gem on the gulf !

a true fish story!. i have to tell all of you about the fantastic dinner i recently had at the vue on 30a - wow! first, what a beautiful place - smack on the beach, beautifully decorated, breezy, relaxed atmosphere... started with martinis at the beautiful bar. seated near a wide glass window looking at the beautiful gulf. iorderedthe vue catch du jour prepared chef's way. the whole fish presentation was beautiful. the flavor, incredible: so fresh, tender and delicious! yum! do try the vue on 30a. be as laid back, or as formal as you feel like. it's all right!

disappointed. great view, friendly server, very disappointing food. risotto was a side dish on 2 of 4 entrees and wasn't done - it was actually crunchy, veal choporderedmed rare, was raw - not rare, raw-awkward for guest waiting for correction while rest of us ate, nothing offered while he waited. all salads were room temperature, and the wedge salad was mediocre at best - supposed to have pancetta - couldn't taste it, was ground up and bleu cheese tasted bottled. bread was not fresh and the flowers on the table are plastic (come on....really?) plus we were asked to hand them to the server so the bread basket could fit. . the filet was good. i have no issue with paying top $ for food & service as long as the product matches the price and in this case, it did not. i was so looking forward to it, i am a local and i will not be back.

great view, great experience. my husband and i ate at vue on 30a last night and had a wonderful experience! the live music was great and the view was the best we've seen here on 30a. we started with foie gras and it was out of this world. iorderedthe pistachio crusted grouper which was incredible, and heorderedthe rack of lamb--both were very good. the staff was friendly and the restaurant had a great ambiance. we shared a nice bottle of wine and took in a beautiful sunset. we can't wait to come back and we are bringing friends!

too noisy for me. we went to the vue on 30a last evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. our reservation was at 5 o'clock because we wanted to enjoy the sunset. we were seated promptly with a lovely view of the ocean. our waiter was prompt in providing our drinks and water glasses were filled promptly throughout the evening. our used dishes were also removed almost as soon as the last bite left the plate. weorderedfilet, grouper and t-bone and though all the meals were very good, i did not like the bread pudding that came with my steak. odd kind of a side and i would have preferred a choice of a regular potato or a pasta. also they charged us to share a salad which is crazy since salads are $12 and really too large for one person. what really spoiled the evening for us, however, was the live music playing in the lounge. when we entered, the lounge was full and yet we were the first people in the dining room. a party of 5 was then seated and then a couple of other tables. apparently most people were there for the music and drinks. the band started shortly after 5 and was very, very loud. we were somewhat taken aback as we could barely have a conversation with each other. i did ask the manager if the music was always that loud and she replied, "it is on saturday night!" there is no partition between the lounge and dining room so the noise is loud throughout the entire place. i would expect it at 7 or 8 o'clock, but did not expect to feel like i was eating in a bar at 5:00. other than a slight hitch in getting our food (table next to us seated 20 minutes after us got their food first). our waiter apologized and did offer us one complimentary dessert for the table to share (guess we all need to like the same dessert). that poor table next to us sent 2 chicken dinners back and then waited and waited. one woman never ate and the other took hers home. overall, the service was impeccable and the food was good and the atmosphere and view were great. however, they need to decide if they are fine dining or a lounge. i wouldn't pay that amount of money for a meal again to not be able to speak to my dinner companions.

best steak ever!!!. last night, 12/1/12, my husband and i decided to have dinner at the vue. we are locals, but this was our first experience dining here. iorderedthe spinella, my husband had the osso bucco. my steak was cooked perfectly at the temp i had requested(med/rare). this was the best steak i have ever had!!! it was so tender, and melted in your mouth like butter! i am a steak and potatoes girl, and this surpassed any steak i have ever had before. his entree was also grand in stature to any fare we have had in this area. we will definitely be back!!!

excellent. we enjoyed a nice dinner last night (7/12/12) at vue on 30a. we arrived on time for a 6:30 reservation and were seated immediately with a table along the windows overlooking the beach...one of the best views in the area.
sandi greeted us and explained the chef's offering that were not on the menu. weorderedwine and placed our order for a crispy oysters, shrimp/crab spring rolls, a wedge salad, the ahi tuna and whole lightly battered redfish.
all dishes were excellent and the whole fish was a fun choice...so much for proper table manners. the service provided by sandi was outstanding. prices were in line with similar restaurants in the hwy 30a area.
we rank this in the in the top 10 in the destin/hwy 30a area. it's just a tad below our favorites cuvee bistro, fish out of water and v seagrove, but it's a great restaurant in an area with many excellent choices.
