“Good Night John Boys is the best thing to come to Delray with its great 70's music will make you want to stay on the dance floor all night. When you are there its like being back at studio 54 or even being back at 2001 Odyssey were the original idea of the lighted dance floor came from. John Boys has a vibrant atmosphere like no other club in Delray has. If you have not been here yet then you are missing out on one of the best experience of your life.“

“Love this place!! Can’t get any better!! Jen is awesome!!“

“Went with my dad for Happy Hour and it was so good. The prices were good too! Gabriela was our server and she was so sweet and gave really good recommendations, she lowkey carried the whole experience. We had to get some tacos (obviously) and they did NOT disappoint.

I don’t even remember what drinks my dad got but I just know he finished every single one so that should tell you everything. Overall the service was amazing, vibes were good, would 100% go back, especially for happy hour 😌“

“Buon Appetito! “Savior the Flavor”. Campi most definitely lived up to the hype. We heard so much about the new restaurant around the way at the Ray Hotel in Pineapple Grove, downtown Delray, so we had to check it out and see what all of the fuss was about. Upon entering the chic, upscale, and aesthetically appealing establishment, we were greeted at the door by two extremely friendly and personable hostesses who immediately sat us at our table. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Luca, one of the GM’s, as we made our way to our seat, He graciously welcomed us with a round of sparkling Rose champagne. That set the tone and mood for the evening. A mini charcuterie board consisting of italian salami, chunks of freshly cut parmesan cheese, and an assortment of olives was served along with a basket of freshly baked, hot, bread. I highly recommend dipping the bread and other items in the flavorful olive oil. Our waiter Sebastian was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu and made a few recommendations that were home-runs! We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lettuce was cool and crisp with the perfect hint of anchovies topped with the right amount of freshly shaved parmesiana cheese. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the sweet roasted mini tomatoes which were the perfect complement. Next up we had their lasagna which is the talk of the town. It was served as pinwheels, which was unique, and the homestyle sauce, meat, and other ingredients were so flavorful. It did not disappoint. We took a few minutes to digest and then it was time for the main courses. My wife ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with pesto and our guest JB and I shared the chicken parmesan and short rib agnolotti with fresh horseradish and crispy garlic. Each and every entree was perfectly prepared and presented, and they even split the portions for us. The showstopper was definitely the agnolotti!! After dipping multiple pieces of bread in the various sauces, I finally had to wave the white napkin and surrender. Unfortunately, we had zero room for desert but promised to indulge during our next visit. We will definitely be back! It was truly a special night at this exceptional, fairly new, player to the Delray scene. Lastly, Campi certainly lived up to the reputation of its family restaurant, Campagnola (on the Upper wast side of Manhattan). We cant wait for our next meal at Campi!!

“If you're looking for a solid spot on Atlantic Ave, Beach Club Pizza is worth checking out. The atmosphere is great—it has a clean, relaxed vibe that fits the Delray area perfectly without being too over-the-top.
​The staff is really friendly and attentive, which makes a big difference when the street gets busy. One thing to keep in mind: because it’s right in the heart of the action, parking can be a huge pain. Unless you get lucky with a spot out front, your best bet is to head straight to the Robert Federspiel Garage on SE 1st Ave. If you don't want to deal with a garage at all, there are several valet stands on the side streets right off Atlantic that make things much easier.
​I tried the Croque Madame Pizzetta from their brunch menu and it was excellent. It’s topped with gruyere, country ham, caramelized onions, and a sunnyside egg. It’s a nice change of pace from your typical breakfast or a standard pizza slice—definitely a heavy hitter if you're hungry.
​Overall, it’s a good place to grab a bite and people-watch. They even do fun events like a pilates class in the restaurant! I can't wait to go back.“

“Second visit here. i loved the izakaya. i got the pork belly and the thin sliced beef. i was expecting at least two skewers but it is what it is. they were both very flavorful and i really enjoyed it. both visits i got a JB roll and it was great both times. I also got the kimchi fried rice and it was a very generous portion. tasted amazing. i would absolutely recommend coming in here for some good eats. the server was very kind and attentive. one of the chef even came to me to check on me and see if i enjoyed his food which i did.“

“From the moment we walked in, everything was absolutely amazing. The restaurant had a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish exceeded our expectations.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was our server Anyis. They were attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They made sure we were comfortable, checked on us at the perfect times, and gave excellent recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in their work.

Great service can turn a good meal into a great experience, and that’s exactly what happened here. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend both the restaurant and this wonderful server!“

“We both had the smoked bacon appetizer, wedge salads, filet's with a side of mashed potato's. Every item exceeded our expectations, along with the friendly staff and service. The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet unlike large loud bustling corporate entities.“

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

“Really great spot! We went for happy hour with our baby and just had appetizers and drinks and they were wonderful and accommodating. We will definitely be back again very soon😊“

“Definitely a wonderful addition to Atlantic Ave. The Guac may have been top 3 of all time! The service from Julia made us feel welcomed and at home. And finally it’s obviously already one of the most popular spots in Del Ray beach!

Julia is learning Spanish and Italian, make sure you teach her the word of day if she’s your waitress! She’s wonderful!!“

“Bartenders are great and super fast, good happy hour menu and drinks were amazing.“

“If we can give this place 10 stars we would. Not only was the food immaculate the service was top tier. My boyfriend and I just left their Sunday Brunch and this had to be the best food I’ve ever had for brunch. And our servers were quick and attentive. Loved it! Can’t wait to try the dinner menu.“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“Been here several times....Best to get a reservation for the high-top tables so you can take advantage of happy hour from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Chicken parm is great, spaghetti carbonate is excellent, cocktails are awesome. One small request: please provide garlic bread with meals. Again, love this place!“

“such a vibe there service on point“

“Sierra made our dinner super enjoyable by providing us with great service and she was super attentive. We were there after the Delray Open Tennis tournament and it was extremely busy. This did not stop Sierra from serving us quickly. The night was made better when the Manager bought us a bottle of wine because they were out of 2 of our selections. By the way the food was fantastic. The portions were great and the presentations are well thought out. We will be back!“

“Rosewater is one of my favorite spots in Delray for any celebration!! The ambiance, the food and the service are always SUPERB! It’s the perfect place to celebrate with the Girls!“

“Anything you order you will enjoy. Friendly atmosphere drinks are good. Servers take good care of there tables.enjoy!“
