The team truly went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome, even surprising us with complimentary appetizers, which was such a thoughtful touch. What really stood out was the warmth of the staff—they have a genuine way of making you feel at home that made the entire evening relaxed and enjoyable. It’s not just great food here, but also an atmosphere that feels inviting and personal. Highly recommend for group events or a casual night out. We’ll definitely be back!“

Every bite was a delight, especially the red snapper sashimi, gnocchi, and fennel salad the flavors were truly unforgettable. The atmosphere is so cozy and stylish, you won't want to leave once you sit down. I'll definitely be back; this is a hidden gem!“

“4 of us had dinner at Belle and Maxeell’s Saturday night, May 28, 2022. This was our 2nd visit. It won’t be our last. As before, the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately, as so many restaurants, right now, they were severely short handed however, we truly never noticed. The servers took exceptional care of us. Topping off our meal was THE BEST RICOTTA CHEESECAKE we’ve ever eaten. Thank you Belle and Maxwell's for making my Birthday special.“

“Yum every dish is Unusual fresh and distinctive“

“Last Sunday was the first time eating at Juno Beach Cafe. My last and I have been visiting different breakfast places from West Palm to Jupiter. This is now my favorite place. The pancakes are amazing and the service is welcoming and fast. Love it.“

“We had a fantastic takeout experience so we are coming back to join for the ambience next time. The food was delicious. They changed the menu all the time. They work with special requests, which is incredibly unusual with a restaurant that has this type of Craft. Very accommodating and the food is outstanding. When my husband picked up the food, he said we’ve got to go back. You’ll love the place. I’m not sure who answered the phone, but we dealt with him twice and I really have not seen that type of Customer service in a long time.“

“The First Class World Class Five Star Services- Colony Hotel Palm Beach. My 2nd Season in a row; will do it over and over again.“

“Highly recommend! I went to Rachela Palm Beach thanks to Jenny P's recommendation, and I had an amazing time! Great dinner and fantastic drinks. Jenny P, the waitress, made the experience even better. Thanks for the rec, Jenny P!“

“My first experience dining here, read the reviews and they sounded good so decided to book a reservation. Arrived at the restaurant had to park four blocks away parking is atrocious. The hostess was busy talking on her phone, never a good sign. Sat down finally, decided on an appetizer and some entrees the waiter came back and said they were out of the appetizer, started off bad. Very limited fish dishes, ordered a steak dish and a fish dish,nothing spectacular and it was tough we did not say anything to the waiter the whole situation from beginning to end a total disappointment, couldn't wait to leave, actually felt nauseated after leaving after eating my fish with risotto, it was so greasy. Very loud place hard to have a conversation.I don't know what the hype is about this place because the prices do not match the food quality or the presentation. Would not recommend nor would I go back ever. The whole vibe was uninspiring and the atmosphere was just not a good experience or fun. I guess if you're a drinker this place might be fun but if you're not it makes waiting for your entree for 45 minutes more excruciating, was not impressed about anything about this place and I wanted to be. Note to manager find a Hostess that seems like she's interested in seating people and not talking on the phone. I could honestly say I had better food at the gas station on the way into town, the homemade empanadas there were amazing. All I can say to people is beware of reviews you'll get burned I know I have on several occasions. I've run into people who absolutely love this place while I've been in town, wish I could say the same. maybe I was there on an off night but waiting 45 minutes for an entree when three of their tables were seated and served before I was seemed a little strange. the wait staff seem tired and uninspired.“

“We had a lot of fun, BUT the ball machine was broken, and the above light half out not to mention, they double charged us on my credit card. So BEWARE they charge you at the bay for rental and food/drink when you leave and then ghost charge you later for the bay rental again with the card you reserved with. They don't answer the phones there or call back if you leave a message, so you have to do a dispute with your bank. SO pay attention and CHECK YOUR CC CHARGES Very unsavory business practice.“

“They have cheap chicken wings, and seafood. . I would refer the hooks on palm beach lakes in west palm beach. there magnolia park store isn't as good.“

“I’ve been going to bolay for a while and the food is always delicious. The service is excellent and impeccable. Andrenique always greets me with a smile and makes sure I feel a welcome. Definitely would recommend for a quick and healthy lunch.“

“Outstanding addition to an Order In list and a definite first choice go-to! Some friends wanted to visit another establishment in PBG; I chose the better, cheaper & delicious option! Reasonably priced w/delivery and quick delivery - Bolay Bol WPB has another fan!“

“Shout out to Jackie and Ashley for getting my take out order done correctly and quickly! The pumpkin soup was outstanding. Will be back again!“

“✅ Great food and good service.“

“I would highly recommend Table 26. Today was my husband and I first time eating there. The service was amazing and the food superb and delicious!“

“Toojays is our go to place. We love their food and always ask for Kimba, our favorite waitress. She is very pleasant and always makes us smile.“

“After many nights of unsuccessful, expensive meals, we finally found this place! The service was great, Ashley was wonderful, and the food was spot on every night. Probably the best burger we’ve ever had. That’s saying a lot! They hand grind their meat out of three different types of meat combined. The prices were very reasonable compared to the area restaurants. It was a short drive from the hotels. Don’t get stuck in the tourist traps around the resorts plenty of free parking and lots of specials nightly.“

“Excellent food, as always. The portions are large and the appetizers are sharable. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to drinks and condiments.the other wait staff were very attentive. Ambience is nice. Nice celebration for a birthday!“

“Great experience while down visiting family, thank you!“

“Was there last night - enjoyed a KILLER Prime Rib (props to Chef JT) and an 'Almond Joy' at the bar :)“

“Gabby was absolutely outstanding. She was attentive, quick, knowledgeable, incredibly sweet, and accommodating, especially with me having two kids with me. She made the entire experience feel effortless and genuinely enjoyable.

You can tell she has been serving for a while because she has that rare ability to anticipate what you need without being overbearing. She was professional, personable, and made us feel truly taken care of from beginning to end.

Servers like her are a huge part of what makes people want to return to a restaurant. Great food may bring you in once, but exceptional service is what makes you want to come back again and again. She is absolutely an asset to J. Alexander’s, and I hope management knows how much of a positive impact she has on the guest experience. She deserves to be recognized!“

“It was our first time eating here. The biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict breakfast and the traditional eggs and grits breakfast were delicious. The hospitality of our server Bridgett and the manager Adam was very appreciated... both went above and beyond our expectations.“

“Starting with the wonderful hostess who assisted with my reservation over the phone, everything was exceptional! We had a great table, great food and the most fabulous personal service from Kanita. She remembered us from when we had traveled to Florida last year. Thank you!“

“Food is great but hostesses leave much to be desired when it comes to delighting the guest. Party of 3, made a reservation, came in and was going to be seated in the middle Of the restaurant at a noisy table. I explained my husband has hearing loss and could we sit at one of the 3 empty booths behind us. Hostess said we’d have to wait an hour. We left and enjoyed a lovely dinner in Tap 42.“

“I cannot thank the wonderful people who work at the pelican Café for making my birthday absolutely special! The food was fabulous, the service superb, and the entertainment exceptional! The perfect way to end a big birthday! I am definitely not waiting another year to return. This is my happy place.“

“Everything is always fantastic!“

“Very attentive wait staff. Friendly and professional. The food was excellent. The mushrooms with the fillet were amazingly good - I had to share them. I could have eaten another dozen or so myself. The fillet was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth.“

“Not easy to find - but I’m glad I kept walking around the building until I did! I saw a TikTok where someone had tried the sub and gave a great review. I love subs and had to try for myself. I ordered the Italian sub, wow!!! A must try, you will not be disappointed!“

“My favorite place since I tried 2 months ago, I’ll go for lunch almost everyday, mostly Boca and Wellington. Im fasting so it’s the most tasty nutritious food I’ve got. The staff is amazing and the cleanliness even in bathrooms is top. I always get the small bowl and always ask for a bonus 1/2 spoon of beans and they always give it with a big smile, not this time. Today I tried the Alton one, I had high expectations. First impression was that it was weird starting the line backwards from the right. The operator was friendly but not when I asked for a tin of beans, 1/4 spoon the most… She said no and she wanted to sell me a cup as an extra. I declined, was rude, then I see the line dirty, stuff looked cold. The other operator was afraid to serve too much shrimp and the feta he spread it crumble by crumble, I was amazed of his skills. Those 2 company money savers fighting for the employee of the month. One thing I like at Bolay is to grab my metal good solid forks, this time I couldn’t, not available. The food was tasty as usual but the temperatures were inconsistent, the colds not too cool and the hots warms. Then after sitting the trash overflowing and dirty bowls piling up were a view that you can’t stop looking at it, under my table on the floor smashed veggies. When I’m leaving I’m looking at the other stations and look the same. I avoided use the bathrooms at that point to wash hands as usual. It wasn’t a staff shortage issue, plenty of labor, customer line clear. These guys went through the pick of rush in lunch time with not interval cleanings. So disappointing see that awesome concept lowing the bar so bad. At the end is all management. Not going back there, I mean, that one in Alton but people, you definitely gotta try it somewhere else and get hook by them. Wellington and Boca In Military staff is the best. Hope Alton improve.“

“Belle’s is phenomenal in every way. The service from the male bartender was friendly and outstanding. Very attentive. View is amazing of the yachts! Food and drinks were top notch. What a gem this place is and all of the staff; from whomever answered the phone, (Manager?). to the kind, helpful young gentleman driving the golf cart, (dock master?), to Belle’s. WOW! You all are the best! Thank you! 🙏 I’ll be back.“

“Tony is remarkable, courteous, funny , very attentive , very professional, and all around great dude !! Really love the guys he makes my visits to Duffy's very enjoyable!! Plz keep him he is huge asset to your company!! ??“

“Olivia D was an excellent waitress , good service and food was delicious and serving were big!“

“I have been going to Gun Club for years. The food and staff are constantly good. How many restaurants have you seen the entire staff eat dinner together before they close? This is a true family who cares about their customers!“

“Raw Macadamia 'Egg' Salad!! This is really quite nice. I ordered an extra side of dressing & got the 'Garlic Aioli' & the 'Maple Miso'. I don't care for the 'Maple Miso'. Overall, 9.2 /10. xx“

“Great place got this spot on a recommendation from my friend who told me not to goto ihop and go there it’s better so I did and yea everything is top notch the food the service the price!! Jen our server was a total doll (pay her more!!😂😂)Couldn’t be more satisfied!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“We enjoy coming here, the food is good and its a good bar. Love the wings. The back area for darts and shooting pool is also makes this a favorite. We love this place. Only complaint is the DJ is questionable/sus so hopefully they change it up more often.“

“We had such an amazing time last evening!! The Date Night band was so much fun!! Music was tasteful and just the right volume to dance and also have conversations!! Banter staff was amazing being sure to accommodate everyone and with smiles and such good energy! Hats off to the manager Cesar for doing such a great job!! What a FANTASTIC TIME!!
