Ok, We had great service with a really sweet waitress. The steaks and fish were cooked perfectly, but the sauces really missed the mark. The panko crusted fish had a horseradish sauce which completely overwhelmed the fish and was a very odd mix of flavors. The steak with the crabmeat and gorganzola sauce would've been fine w/o the sauce, but... more

This restaurant is the best there is on 30A. It is in a great old house and only have 8 tables so it is hard to get in. We now make reservation well in advance when we know we are coming down. As soon as you walk in the service is excellent. The wine list features many great Spanish wines... more

If you want to sit back and enjoy some of the best food you'll ever have then this is the place without question. Our kids are grown & with all the crowds in Destin we've shifted to the Grayton Beach area. The stuffy 'high profile' dining experiences in the area just don't cut it either. Small, yes...but what comes with... more

This my entire family's favorite restaurant in the Destin, Grayton, Santa Rosa area. We spent New Year's Eve at Cafe Tango, and always make sure we pay a visit when we are down at our beach house in Santa Rosa Beach. The service, food, & intimacy are unmatched in the area. Be sure to try the brie appetizer, it is... more

As first time visitors to the "emerald coast" we tried a few close-by(seagrove beach) reccomendations from locals and found them not so great: dark, plastic tablecloth kind of joints. Cafe Tango was small and pretty, white tablecloth dining- with fabulous food!This is the only place so far where the server (and I do mean "service" as opposed to the plate-flinging... more

During tourist season (Memorial Day-Labor Day) reservations are RARE. It's only 7 or 8 tables and intimate. Everything at Tango is tasty and well priced. The wine list is a little pricey, but extensive. Note they only serve beer and wine.Service is expert and most of the small staff has been around for several years. In an area belssed with... more

In '04, we tried to have dinner at Cafe Tango while on vacation in the area. It was the night before we were leaving & no openings were available. We knew we were going to miss something special. I believe it's only 9 tables & 2 seatings per night (add 1 more for a table outside) Call & make reservations... more

Had heard from a couple of people locally that Tango was great. Went on a weeknight and still had a bit of trouble getting in but we snagged 8 PM reservations. Stopped in at Bud and Alleys upstairs bar in Seaside early for a glass of vino and then headed to Cafe Tango despite the Sugar Bowl starting as we... more
