I know so much of how we view a meal has to be internal...expectations, mood, our dining companion...etc.and I went to Cafe Tango in a BAD MOOD. Even the glass of very trendy and delicious bubbly rose barely melted my exterior frost. I felt a thaw though when our appetizers arrived. My husband had the scallops on endive with an amazing sauce and I got the shrimp scampi. It was perfect and I can attest that the little bite of scallop he let me try practically melted in my mouth. Our spirits both lifted as the very professional but warm waitress set a plate full of cheesy garlicky olive oil in front of us with some hot bread. Things were looking up even more as my salad of fresh baby greens arrived with the house made blue cheese (yum-o) my husband had the honey mustard habanero and I begged him to switch half way as I could not make up my mind which was better. I nearly cried happy tears when the waitress brought my filet gorgonzola (exactly medium rare) heaped with crab meat and a gorgonzola sauce that was somehow not too rich or overpowering. Hubby had the pistacio grouper that was flaky and almost too much to eat, but we helped each other! By this time I was positively in a lovely mood and ready for the chocloate truffle torte and creme brulee that were perfect! In short, thank you Cafe Tango for turning my night around with food that not only pleased my palate but lifted my spirits. It takes a truly special place to overcome my crankiness! I look forward to many visits in the New Year.That is if I am nice to my dinner companion!

I totally disagree with the review below. Cafe Tango was great. The price was reasonable considering what you get. My grouper filet was huge and so was the steak filet. Excellent wine list. I didn't hear the kitchen or smell the bathroom. Highly recommended!!!

I live in SRB and I believe that Cafe Tango is the best restaurant on 30A. I like the intimate setting. It is a small restaurant with only a few tables. Yes, it is expensive, but not nearly as much as Criolla's and 30A. I have NEVER had a bad meal in this restaurant and I have dined in here at least 20 times.

If you like eatinig in a 800 hundred square feet home smelling the restroom and hearing the kitchen, this is your spot! I may be spoiled also, but this is way over rated. If I am going to pay $200 for a meal for two, it should be better than this. It has a very small selection of food and a much worse atmosphere. Don't let the "hard to get" reservations fool you.
