Cafe Tango

Having lived in the area since 1991 (arriving at age 11), it’s a shame I waited this long for Valentine's Day at Café Tango. This is 30A history at its finest. It's an intimate, small-scale operation where the quality is controlled by a 6-burner stove, meaning you order your entire meal at once—a refreshing change of pace that keeps the kitchen in a perfect flow. Lessie was phenomenal. She knows this menu inside and out and isn't afraid to give candid, expert recommendations. Seafood Stuffed Piquillo Peppers: Do not skip these. The flavors are vibrant and perfectly balanced for a starter. The Dancing Fish: My fiancé’s favorite—the Grouper "Dancing Style" is a classic for a reason. NY Strip Special: I had mine rare, Gorgonzola style. Charbroiled then finished in the oven—honestly the be

A hidden gem. I had the dancing fish 😋 and my bf had the chimichurri filet. He got it well done and it was STILL one of the best steaks I’ve had.

The steaks are truly some of the best in the south east- the red wine Demi glace is drool worthy

An intimate setting with an outstanding chef curated meal paired perfectly with warm genuine service and fine wine. This hidden, low profile, 9 tables, family owned and operated personal dining experience should be on everyone's list when in the Grayton and Santa Rosa Beach area. There is a good reason they have been here for 30+ years. This was our second evening at Cafe Tango (2015 & 2023) and each time we've walked out the cottage door feeling like we had experienced a "once in a lifetime" moment. The lovely, delightful and humorous Anna Katherine took care of our every need. We enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth Seafood Stuffed Peppers, the exceptionally prepared Dancing Fish which featured fresh Grouper and the Filet with Portobello (delicious and tender) elevated with a bottle of Pi
