La Crema Tapas And Chocolate

My husband and I were very excited about trying this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, but it ended up being largely disappointing. I will start with the good: the cocktails were decent and the seafood paella was pretty good but not worth the $25 price tag. The rest of the meal was a massive let down. We got the cheese fondue appetizer and it is literally just a pile of salad croutons and some melted cheese that was barely a step up from store bought queso. I typically love fondue, but this tasted like somebody trying to make fondue with whatever they had in the fridge and without any knowledge of creating good flavor. The next item we got was the Malaga shrimp which was terrible. It sounded delicious on the menu, but what was served was three little toast pieces with overdone shrimp and covered with an absolute mountain of soggy spinach. Seriously the amount of spinach was absolutely absurd, not to mention how unappetizing the flavors were. Additionally, because there was an abundance of wet spinach the toast pieces were a soggy mess. Desperately looking for something to eat and enjoy we tried the enfuego chicken which was mid at best, and very stringy. We decided to give the OMG cookie sandwich a go for dessert, thinking how could you go wrong with chocolate cookies and an espresso cream... unfortunately this was a disappointment as well. The cookies were overdone and lacked any depth of flavor other than overly sweet chocolate and the espresso cream filling was just a glorified cream cheese icing without even a detectable hint of espresso. For the price tag of this restaurant we expected the food to demonstrate an understanding of flavor and textures, but it was honestly not good. I have had better food at an Applebee's. The service was ok, not super attentive but she did take off the Malaga shrimp which we appreciated. All that to say, there are much better places to spend your money and enjoy a meal in 30A.

Food and service were excellent! We dined twice in a week for my birthday and our anniversary. We enjoyed the piquillo peppers, cheese fondue, patatas bravas, country paella and chocolate fondue.The bartenders are really fantastic, friendly, and attentive, even though they're super busy. The Mr. Lahey drink was the best to us. The restaurant is small but they have several seating options such as inside, outside and bar seating. Very popular and sometimes crowded but no reservations or call ahead seating is allowed. We thoroughly enjoyed both meals and will return.

Situated in the picturesque town of Rosemary Beach with a Bavarian-like charm, this place stands out in the area. The service is impeccable, and the food, particularly the fish tacos, is excellent. For dessert, don't miss the hot chocolate molten cake.
