“We had a lovely dinner tonight and the highlight of our meal was our wonderful server Michael. Michael was so personable, knowledgable of the menu and and provided overall amazing service. We had one small hiccup with our meal and Michael could not have handled it better. He took care of the issue promptly. Our meal was delicous and the drinks were great too!“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks, but absolutely horrendous, and i mean, horrendous, service. Likely the worst ive had in south florida. I refuse to go back. Every step of the experience was painstakingly slow“

“Always good food and beautiful outside area“

“I went to Deck 84 yesterday with my husband and two kids. We had a great experience! Our server, Sarah, was awesome and knowledgeable about the menu. She made our lunch really special and was so kind to our whole family! The manager Lauren, also came by to check on us, which is always appreciated.
Great service, food and atmosphere! Highly recommend! Thank you, Sarah!“

“Healthy meets tasty!!! I'll be back again.“

“We took my father here for his 80th birthday brunch last Sunday (he loves a good whiskey drink). We sat on the patio. Gary our server was fantastic! And the manager/owner even made it a point to stop by our table and wish my father a happy birthday. We really appreciate how special you guys made him feel! Thank you so much. 💗“

“The Grove has been a long time favorite but tonight started out shaky. 6 of us at the table- we placed drink orders, but almost 30 mins had passed and we hadn’t received them. They apologized and said the ticket printer malfunctioned. We didn’t make a big deal of it, but they could probably see the dissatisfaction on our faces. The rest of the night was a workshop on class and customer service. They brought two extra apps to the table unsolicited. Everything we ate was a 10/10… as usual. We ordered 2 desserts to share and they showed up with every dessert on the menu. What else is there to say? They killed it“

“By far, my favorite spot in Delray Beach 🏝️ The staff are wonderful and the ambience is second to none. I highly recommend!“

“GO FOR THE WINGS! Best EVAH. We went for lemon pepper and Old Bay-Honey. Both were loaded with flavor, tender and moist inside a crispy exterior, just divine. Service: super friendly and welcoming. Tap beers: ice-cold and poured right. We went on a Sunday early evening and it then got very busy. We waited 50min or so for wings and a burger, so there goes a star for starving me lol. I'd wait again though ...“

“What a great find! Julie was so friendly and helpful. I had the duck which had been recommended by friends. Absolutely amazing! It's a very small restaurant, so definitely make reservations. Just fabulous!“

“I have been a few times and it's a nice place. The food is solid and the service has always been friendly. Word of caution, if you scan and pay with the Sunday app they offer, be prepared for a $5 fee. Just hand the payment to the staff, app is a total joke.“

“Awesome service! Great atmosphere! Amazing Food!“

“Avalon is a must! Beautiful atmosphere and the bar manager was awesome! 🥂🥂“

“Food is great. Drinks are awesome. What is missing is hospitality in service quality. No eye contacts from the server at all. They won't make any gesture to care for your table. A little careless environment as far as serving goes. Everything else is superb but you would love to be served when you dine in especially repeatedly. They don't dare to care.“

“Wonderful food and service, in an absolutely beautiful restaurant! We started with happy hour drinks at the bar before moving to a table on the outside patio (I highly recommend this because you get to enjoy both indoor and outdoor atmospheres!). Our server Ali (Kemal) was great! He was attentive and knowledgeable. Our meals were delicious and the food was plentiful. We had the Burger, Caesar Salad with Salmon, and Brussels Sprouts. On our way out, we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Connor Grasso, who gave us an amazing tour of the restaurant and private dining rooms, which are available for large parties or groups. He was so helpful and friendly when I asked if I could take some photos and videos of the space. This is one of my favorite places in the area. The interior design is absolutely stunning. The whole hotel is beautiful. I highly recommend the visit!“

“Very noisy and crowded but the best Cuban food. Best to get there at 5:30. Outside is too close to the street, noisy there too.“

“I enjoy the atmosphere and the excellent food along with cocktails“

“Such an incredible dining experience today at the bar with our bartender Phillip. The GM Jonas has made this place amazing! The food was outstanding! The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was filled with good energy! We love it there and highly recommend the espresso martinis!“

“Amazing place and AMAZING STAFF!!! I had my son’s baby shower here for brunch and it was great! This staff is unbelievable!! They were on point with everything and made sure my event was nothing but perfect!!! Thank you all so much! ❤️❤️“

“A-One grapefruit, great atmosphere, friendly staff“

“So Big and Fresh. The BEST I've had since my trip to Maine last summer! Worth Every Cent!“

“March 2026, came here with friends and sat outside since it was such a nice day. Our Server was wonderful. I did like the fact that they brought bread to our table because lots of restaurants stopped that practice after COVID. I ordered the HENRY'S COBB which was good, and my friend ordered the Chicken Pot Pie that had lots of chicken inside, however the crust topping could have been baked a little more because it was slightly doughy, but the pie tasted good. I am glad we sat outside because when I went inside the restaurant it was loud and noisy.“

“The food is always delicious and creative!“

“Great People Excellent Food highly recommend“

“The waitress was great and the place is dog friendly this place was solid“

“Love their ribs & burgers & salads & cocktails! Highly recommended! Always bring the family when in town & they always look forward to our meal. Great, friendly & competent service.“

“We love spending afternoons at Johnny Brown’s. The live music always gives such a fun, relaxed vibe, and it’s become one of our favorite spots to just hang out and enjoy the atmosphere on Atlantic Ave.

The barbecue quesadillas are SO good — definitely one of our regular orders — and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming to our family. As an autism family, places that feel comfortable, easygoing, and accepting really stand out to us, and Johnny Brown’s has always been one of those places. Great music, good food, and a genuinely fun Delray experience every time.“

“Been to the "Turtle" many, many times for a few years now. Same experience every time. Great owner, great bartenders, great patrons & delicious food. I recommend everyone stop in and check it out.“

“Hot new spot, great atmosphere, food, service, and drinks. Shout out to Nick, best server EVER,“

“I Love this place💞 Food is very good & I really enjoy the strawberry mimosas. Nice, friendly host & waiters. You🫵🏽 should go💞“

“For my recent trip, Symphony took our order and was very kind. She repeated the order for accuracy and offered additional condiments. James and Ausha were on the grill and our food was made to order. Little details matter and this team did very well.“

“Delicious food, lively atmosphere and great service!“

“Love these meals. Good prices too!“

“Great music and atmosphere. Food is great!“

“I am a die hard fan of Mariannes. They're closed for the summer and you can't request sandwiches after 2pm but never will I not jump at the chance to get me a Turkey Club on rye. The staff is great and friendly, the food is fresh and delicious, and it makes me so happy just being inside the tiny store. Forget Joseph's and head to Marianne's“

“My Mom lives in Delray and we brought her here for drinks before her birthday on a Friday evening in February. It was awesome. Amazing views, cool rooftop bar area, great live yacht rock singer (Jamie!) taking requests. Bethany, the manager made sure that my Mom was celebrated - and we were only there for about an hour and half. I hesitate to share this review because I fear it will become too popular, but for the time being it is a hidden gem near the beach!“

“Nicholas was our waiter and he was the Best! 😊👍🏾Accommodated us very well and we have a great time with a oceanic view of Delray Beach.“

“Food is always delicious and the service is great“

“My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner. We had a great time the food was cook to order. Our server Vivian did a great job. She made sure we had everything we needed and that the food was cooked to our liking. Definately recommend for dinner.“

“Great hot pastrami and potato pancakes“

“I went to Lindbergers with my wife and mother. My mother told me she was there about fifteen years ago.

We sat outside on the covered patio on a rainy day. My mother had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (A hand battered chicken breast. My wife had the Smash Burger (Double Patty with cheese, lettuce, pickles, and their signature sauce $12.29). I had the California Chicken Sandwich with a side of Cole Slaw. We all shared an order of Thick Cut Fries.

The food was perfect and the service was excellent.“

“Four at a booth at the Delray Beach Florida location for 5PM Dinner. Hostess Jill was exemplary; terrific personality along with her welcoming smile. Gracious and kind to our two elderly parents. The appetizers and meal were good. Worth the price. A small mixup on one of the side veggies was no big deal. Our waiter Erik was adequate. Should have done a better job clearing the dirty dishes from the table when we completed our meals, and never offered to refill our water glasses. This was reflected in his tip. Would have given 5 stars if not for this.“

“Took my dad here for Father’s Day brunch and it everything was fantastic even food was delicious.“

“Great crepes and coffee here, our waitress Belkiss was the most delightful host! She attended me and my family very warmly and kept up great service until we finished our amazing breakfast. Me and my family can’t wait to go back again. :)“

“Me encanta es súper para pasar momentos felices“
