Sitting at the bar with David at the helm is like, well, your best daydream come to life. He is simply the best. He took such great care of my daughter and me; when a couple — who had clearly been pre-gaming — saddled up next to is, David ran interference like a real pro. Please treat David well because he is beloved and I would follow him anywhere.

We visited on a Thursday night, which features a piano player, John Flynn, and singing bartender, Holly Lane. If you plan to hear the entertainment, be sure to reserve early. The food is great, bringing a Spanish vibe to the beach. Service was great, and all the servers are exceptionally personable. We will be back!

We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant tonight. It was our anniversary and we had the filet, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a salad. The dinner also came with a wonderful Merlot suggested by our server, John. I have Celiac Disease and John made sure that my meal was prepared safely without any cross contamination. We always visit this restaurant when we come down to the beach.

We love Cafe Azafran and eat there often. We went for Tapas night and had 6 different items. Shrimp, clams, steak, potatoes and chorizo, calamari and mussels. All very good. BUT, we really missed the duck tacos that were always available before last night. They were among the best food items, we’ve ever eaten! Please bring them back! I love thei French martinis and the service is always great. Thank you Matt! We will be back, especially after Paella night comes back.
