Roux 30A in Seaside

On 2/17/2022 we had the 6 course tasting menu and it was great. Chef John and his three person staff worked seamlessly prepping and plating each dish. Reserve a counter seat and get the whole show! Corey did great as the sole server for all of us in the small, intimate dining room. Wines were very good and thoughtfully paired. Each dish was very generous; no going hungry due to small servings. Parsnip soup starter was amazingly rich. The two fish courses were impeccably cooked. Short rib ragu with homemade tagliatelle was delish. NY strip rolled like a tenderloin was a perfectly medium rare and served with colorful purple sweet potato. I don’t think anyone along 30A is cooking such...

We are locals who have made the drive over a few times for this special place. Our meal last night was wonderful. If you’ve been before and have not sat at the bar, do it so you can see it all come together. So many details! Thank you - we enjoyed it!

Bucket list for foodies! I cannot tell you enough what a wonderful experience last night was at Roux 30a. Lisa and I were not only blessed and highly favored to be there, but showing up early and ending up in the best seats in the house was an added bonus. We were up close and personal as our stainless steel table was also where Chef Nikhil Abuvala worked his culinary magic in front of our very eyes. Six amazing courses prepared literally so close we felt like we were part of the show. And oh what a show it was. I have told you often, tongue in cheek, how I cannot thank the Chinese enough for making me a better cook by forcing me into the kitchen more over the past year. I cannot tell you how much I learned last night just by watching and listening to Chef Nikhil. I can't wait to get back into my kitchen! We didn't know what would be next until Chef clicked his wine glass and described each course being served to the room full of most appreciative diners. . In the comments of this post I have attached a picture of each course to show you what magic we truly experienced last night. Thank you again Chef, thanks again to your entire staff. My only Valentine by my side, a most memorable evening and so thankful that we were there to be a part of such spectacular culinary theatre.
