“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.“

“The food is always delicious and creative!“

“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 😌“

“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.“

“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!!

“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.“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“Highly recommend Wood and Fire restaurant. I had a birthday party catered last night. Heather made everything very easy. Food arrived on time, hot and very delicious. I could not have been more pleased with my interaction and the food. Best yet – – – they delivered.“

“such a vibe there service on point“

“I came here following recommendations from my family members who live in the area and said this is their regular spot.

This is definitely the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was unique, and the service was excellent. Everything arrived quickly and fresh.

I can’t wait for my next visit to come back to this restaurant!“

“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!“

“By far the best drinks on the Ave! Beautifully clear apple martini, as it should be. Delicious dirty martinis, amazing service, excellent appetizers (ate them before we could get a picture), and across from the beach. It’s so great to have a place that isn’t “for show” as I feel a lot of the places on Atlantic Ave are for, they offer a great looking place but usually food and drinks suck. Boston’s is the BEST! We always look forward to coming here when visiting from NY and from RI. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! And they even have a menu for pups! My girls love it. Can’t wait to come back again!

Updated for this Super Bowl! Still 5 stars. The bartenders Cody & Trevor were awesome, as well as staff members coming by to see if we needed anything. We sat at a high top by the bar and the atmosphere and drinks were great. We also got the special sliders that were delicious & the appetizer platter that was part of the specials. It’s always a good time at Boston’s.“
