Dining Room at 3030 Ocean
BARB FREDA
If you haven't been to 3030 Ocean, now's the time. Chef Dean James Max has recently been announced as a James Beard Finalist for Best Chef, South--and if my dinner there recently is any indication, my odds are on him as a finalist, at least. The recognition will send even more people into this elegant but comfortable and welcoming dining room.
I enjoyed a warm fri… Continue

- You asked about a "killer" restaurant and you may have been to this one - it's "Fantino" at the Cancun Ritz Carlton. I was there several years ago for 2 weeks again with my frequent traveling companion/buddy on the Club level and we had heard other guests talking about the restaurant.
Fantino is a treat in every way for all of your senses. Visually it's spectacular with the Italian motif frescos on the walls and ceiling. The particular night we were there the pianist was concert level and mesmerizing with his adept and agile style. Some tables were set up for romance as evidenced by the precision as some of the staff laid rose petals in beautiful patterns on the crisp linens. The view - spectacular of the Gulf.
The service was nothing short of impeccable as was the presentation of the food. Each course arrived as if you were the center of an operetta - delivered to you and your "date" at the exact second in a way worthy of "Dancing with the Stars."
To top off a perfect evening, the Maitre d presented us with a souvenir copy o the menu and a small Tiffany-like box containing a few chocolate confections.
As we were exiting my son bends over to whisper in my ear "from now on - every other place is really gonna suck." I took a few photos that evening but most turned out too dark. The ones taken of us had too much flash bouncing off the glass.
Other than Fantino, the only other Chef that's exceeded our expectations and has been consistent is you.

- Yes, you're absolutely correct about loving it down there. He's getting a great deal of enjoyment out of "rubbing it in" that he's there for the first time without mom and just college friends. He's told his brothers about the girls and how they ran into a group that they knew. They're trying to plan an evening at 3030 before they all fly out. I think I'm jealous! I wonder if he can fly back with takeout from your menu.
By the way, it's great that you've created this site and actually answer. I'm certain at some point it will get very time consuming and busy - which is a good thing. You've embraced not only your epicurean fans but also technology. There are other arenas out there too and you may have picked up on them (It's something I did professionally for a very long time). Of the over 1000 interviews I did (even some while on vacation at Harbor Beach) and broadcast live out to the net - Bobby Fillet was one. I'm guessing that an hour with you would have been fantastic!

- My son who is in the photo with me is there right now and yes, he had to rub it in on how great it is to be back down there and on the beach. You can tell the northerners because we'll swim in what I consider cold water there in winter - it's still much warmer than beaches in mid-summer in the North. That's why we come down the last 2-3 weeks between July and August - the water is at a perfect temp and we'd go diving with Tony Senti who had TSI Aquatics on the premises.
During the big remodel in 2000 we went to St. Thomas for a month and stayed at the Frenchman's reef but enjoyed all the restaurants at the resort. My mother was with the two of us that month, but during all the other years when the two older sons would fly out, she would be flying in and some of our best memories are the times we spent there. The Riva staff as well as in 3030 remembers us (they always asked when my mother would be joining).
Coming down without her will be bittersweet - there were many great memories in 3030. I'll have to post one of my most entertaining photos with the middle son right before he got his modeling contract - it's in Riva - but I bet you never served vegetables this way!

- Chef, it never fails - the name came to me about 20 minutes after I posted the message. You're right, it was Sheffield's and some of the original wait staff were still there after the major remodel. Since then we have always looked forward to our stays because there's nothing better than ending a day with your menu. As I type I know my son is there right now for Spring Break and laying either on the beach or around the pool.
He is one of your biggest fans - he began "creating" dishes before he was 4 and by 7 could make a chocolate mousse to melt anyone's taste buds.

- Thanks Dean...we appreciate your support for TOTN.
Yes - do let us know about the next slow dinner - although I don't know if we can wait that long for our 3030 fix. Outdoor dining sounds yummy - I'll bring the salt pork. Have a great day!

- Thanks Dean - your picture is cute too :)
We don't do Dine-Out..that's the CVB.
I am doing Taste of the Nation again to benefit Share Our Strength on June 25 and hope you and the 3030 gang can join us. Will see you for dinner soon! Oh - and congrats on the Beard nomination - it's about time.

Detectors in the mine, part of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment, were tripped recently by what might be weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.
WIMPs are among the most popular candidates for dark matter, the invisible material that scientists thin… Continue

'Avatar' Fans Rave About Film After Midnight Screening
"Avatar" opened in midnight screenings early Friday, and fans leaving those screenings generally seemed to agree that the movie was worth the wait, the epic runtime and the massive budget.

A New Eden, Both Cosmic and Cinematic
With “Avatar” James Cameron has turned one man’s dream of the movies into a trippy joy ride about the end of life — our moviegoing life included — as we know it. Several decades in the dreaming and four years in the actual making, the movie is a song to the natural world that was largely produced with software, an Emersonian exploration of the invisible world… Continue

Sealing the Senate deal
If and when Senate Democratic leaders finish healthcare negotiations and nail down 60 votes, they will begin the process spelled out in Senate rules for ending the expected Republican filibusters and moving to a final vote on the legislation. The expected sequence of events is likely to stretch well into next week, possibly culminating in a Senate session on Christmas Day:
