    Very disappointing that preferential treatment was given to some diners. Felt discriminated against. Nice water view but worse service for very pricey meal.

    Good food but very slow service. Our server never brought bread to our table. Food is a little overpriced but i guess its the price to pay for the outstanding view on the beach.

    Our family of four had a fabulous experience dining with Vue 30A. We were seated on the patio overlooking the beautiful surf. Our server was very friendly and engaging, everything came surprisingly quickly as well. The food and drinks were delicious! The quality of the food for the prices was above what we have found elsewhere. Very pleasant experience and would go back in a heartbeat! It is also nice that they have a large parking lot with plenty of spaces, a rarity.

    We chose this place for our birthdays - my 50th! Husband and I have the same birthday. Did a ton of research on the best place in the area, even asking locals and finally decided on Vue on 30A. Food was good, but I wouldn't call it fantastic. Our server, Rosemary was subpar at best. Not even a smile when we mentioned it was our birthdays. We arrived at happy hour to take advantage of the drink specials at the bar. When we were seated, drinks changed to full price, so I went back to the bar to get the specials. I found out from the bartender that there is a weird competition between the servers and bartenders when it comes to selling drinks, and apparently Rosemary was miffed I went back to the bar and "bought" from bartender instead of her. It was odd. It didn't ruin our dinner but definitely put a damper on the experience. We won't be back, and we won't recommend.
