EAT PALM BEACH | COOLINARY CAFE Coolinary Cafe is that restaurant heard ’round the county. Bringing a refined edge to American comfort food, Coolinary is a small restaurant serving up big flavor. With classics like Chicken and Waffles and Deviled Eggs it is also a Southerner’s dream. We popped into Coolinary the other night for dinner and took a seat...
EAT PALM BEACH | IBAR iBar takes center stage as you enter PGA National Resort. Around Happy Hour and most evenings, you’ll find a boisterous crowd enjoying cocktails along the bar and at surrounding tables. The atmosphere is lively while the bar works its way organically into the resort’s main lobby. I visited iBar on a busy Friday night. The crowd was...
EAT PALM BEACH | CR CHICKS C.R. Chicks is a local favorite. Opened about two decades ago in PBG, they now have several locations throughout Palm Beach County. The restaurant runs around their rotisserie chicken which you can watch cook over Brazilian Oak logs in the front window. The offerings are simple, but quick, yummy and affordable. The “Smokey”...
EAT PALM BEACH | DUFFY’S SPORTS GRILL Duffy’s is a locally started chain that’s made it’s way around SoFla. The locations I frequent are NPB – PGA Blvd @ US1, Downtown WPB – Clematis Street and (sooometimes) PBG – Northlake Blvd. Duffy’s is the perfect spot to catch a game. Like any game. Or fight. Or whatever. They...
EAT PALM BEACH | FRIGATE’S Frigate’s is a norm on the lunch rotation given the location of my office. With a spot on the water and a good enough selection, it is a total winner for our crew. Depending on the mood, we sometimes start with the Mahi Mahi Fish Dip which is a decent portion surrounded by crackers, carrots, and celery with jalepenos and lemon...
EAT PALM BEACH | YU-MI SUSHI Yu-Mi has been my go-to for quick, easy and yummy sushi for years. This week for lunch was no different. Located in Promenade Plaza, the restaurant isn’t huge so you’re best going a little off the lunch or dinner rushes. Luckily, we walked in and grabbed a table right away. There is also a sushi bar if you’re dining...
EAT PALM BEACH | THE GROVE Located just a few blocks from Atlantic, The Grove is a hidden cove of culinary delight. The restaurant is small, like most of the new discoveries I’ve made in Delray. A handful of 2-tops, a communal high top and outdoor seating. This place is romantic, intimate and homey. Perfection for a date or relaxing for a small group. Open...
EAT PALM BEACH | FIGS I had lunch at Figs today and am somewhat disappointed that I haven’t tried this place out sooner. Something about restaurants located in the mall/department stores are hard to take seriously. But the food was seriously delicious. The service was great from the moment we entered the restaurant. The host was gracious and our server on top...
EAT PALM BEACH | CAFE BISTRO Café Bistro is a hidden gem located on the top floor of Nordstrom in the Gardens Mall. While the mall isn’t the first place I think of to grab a meal, Cafe Bistro stands out as a winner. It’s the perfect blend of casual but classy and a fairly quick stop for a nice lunch. The atmosphere is perfect for girls lunch (or day)...
EAT PALM BEACH | CAFE CHARDONNAY I recently visited Cafe Chardonnay for a birthday luncheon. I had been there previously for a graduation luncheon and have had their food at parties (Penne a la Vodka, Chicken Caesar Salad, etc). Cafe Chardonnay is perfect for special occasions with the upstairs loft dining area able to accommodate fairly large groups in a private...
