Vue on 30a Launches New Menus at Sunset

On February 17, Celebrating the Moment Sunset Meets the Table

As the Gulf Coast enters the time of year when daylight lingers longer and evenings begin to soften, Vue on 30a will introduce its new lunch, dinner and bar menus on February 17, launching at sunset and celebrated throughout the week.

Timed to the moment Vue is most iconic, the new menus reflect a thoughtful evolution of the restaurant’s culinary program, designed for the way guests dine as seasons shift — from lunch overlooking the water to evenings centered around sunset and unhurried coastal dining.

Beginning at sunset on February 17, the new menus will be introduced and celebrated throughout the week with an elevated evening atmosphere designed around the transition from day to night. Each evening, Executive Chef Chris Mayhue will highlight select menu items as ideal pairings for the exact moment the sun sets, complemented by The Sunset Flight, a curated cocktail flight served at sunset and inspired by the changing colors of the Gulf sky. Live music will be featured each evening, creating a natural rhythm as daylight fades into evening.

“Late winter on the coast is when you start to notice the difference — the light stays a little longer, the air feels warmer, and evenings invite you to stay,” said Mayhue. “This menu was designed with that moment in mind.”

Among the chef-recommended sunset selections are light, vibrant starters such as Gulf Grouper Ceviche and Seared Ahi Tuna, alongside warm, fire-kissed dishes like Lamb Lollipops with smoked Gouda grit cake and Crab Cakes with smoked red pepper aioli, offering a natural progression from golden hour into dinner. Coastal entrées including Gulfside Shrimp and Scallops and the Sweet Tea Glazed Free-Range Chicken continue the experience into the evening. A complete list of offerings across lunch, dinner and bar menus is available online at www.vueon30a.com.

Guests are encouraged to plan their visit around sunset, with Vue’s sunset calculator available on its website, allowing diners to time their reservation to the evening’s exact sunset.
