Very average food at a high price point. The road outside the restaurant is noisy and honking horns and traffic while you're trying to have a nice dinner. Food is just ok but portions were small. Very good service and decent parking. We were hungry after dinner and went across the street and had some pizza.

Absolutely love this new restaurant! Top to bottom, fantastic place, impeccable service and a menu that has something for everyone. Best burger I've had in all my years in Palm Beach, FYI. Can't wait to go back!

Best West Palm Beach al fresco bistro serving coastal Mediterranean inspired cuisine and ambiance. The local tuna carpaccio was OUTSTANDING! The mediterranean dip was SUPERIOR! The Hen Of The Woods was also INCREDIBLE! This gem unlike others has an inviting open-air ambiance, white-washed walls, blue accents with white orchids and greenery throughout. The outside dining is covered, and very relaxing with a subtle breeze.

The food was spectacular, I enjoyed the burger with the perfect balance of melted cheese and a fresh bun. Others dig into the various appetizers including the Mediterranean plate and shrimp cocktail. The staff were attentive and welcoming. Easy and ample free valet parking made it a breeze to visit!

We live nearby and decided to walk over to give them a try. The cocktails, while pricey, were great! As were the bartenders. We shared the Tuna carpaccio and steak tartare. The carpaccio, including the oil on the plate tasted like it had been sliced and plated much earlier. The tuna was not soft and delicate and the oil on the plate had a gel like consistency as if it had been served directly from the fridge. It tasted ok, but probably would've been awesome if it had been prepared just before serving. The steak tartare had way too many onions in it for me. My honey said it repeated on him for 2 days. Whoops. We're not in any rush to go back soon, especially with the Florida heat and humidity coming. It'll be interesting to see what their plans are to handle heat, humidity and buds, it's all outside. I worry outdoors won't be pleasant.

Wanted two visits here. This is first visit: The lobster with pasta/ tagliiotelle was too SALTY...... two of us had heirloom tomato salad and my dinner partner looked at me and said ' I guess these are heirloom tomatoes these days........" The place was slammed. You are in a parking lot camouflaged as a st barts environment. We love new restaurants but WE NEED to try again. OK: ADDENDUM to review: GOOD NEWS!!! Second try they corrected our bill. All good. we went back and gave them another try from last dinner. sat at the bar. service was fantastic, and we had a much much better experience. i am going to chalk up the first meal to opening jitters. this was EXCELLENT the second meal, at the bar. Excellent. They will do very well.

Great Looking food but no taste. Ambience: Nice outdoor. Saw water on floor so if rains may be a problem. Service: Good but too fast. IN/Out 50 minutes for two. We are not the lingering order nothing and occupying tables people which seemed there were several such tables. Noise: Moderate to high Me: Great looking grilled food but no taste. Missing garlic and lemon. Don't expect a Lebanese or Greek tastes or experience. Messe can be made better at home. Grilled octopus tasted of the grill. Shrimp main course tasted of the grill. Her/Him: Mediterranean dip a joke. Cut celery and colored carrots better made at home. Her: Crab Cakes looked good but no taste.Also tasted like the grill rather than the food itself. Off seasoning unknown to normal crabcakes. Definitely way over priced. $19 martini and $40- 50 plates. Way over-rated by Palm Beach Post "Expert" and hype from locals. Can get same MUCH BETTER elsewhere.

extremely over-priced. Entrees served with no vegetables, potatoes, rice, etc. Everything on the menu was priced like a New York mid-town restaurant, while portions were average to below average size. Two friends at our table had the Branzino at $47/per, and basically had to filet it themselves, turning it into what ended up looking like tuna out of a can. Definitely won’t be going back. Restaurant prices are unbelievable in general, but at least many try to give you something worthwhile and extra for your $$$

A great upscale, unpretentious, classy new restaurant. Everything about this place is simple, chic, sophisticated. The Med meets South Florida with a touch of Scandivian sensibility. Breezy, elegant and substantive … both the atmosphere and the food hit all the high notes. The dishes are thoughtful, but not overthought. Simple, classic, clean preparation utilizing quality ingredients brings out bright flavors and leaves you satiated, not full. The service equals the atmosphere and the food in effortlessness and excellence. A hidden gem in the special Soso neighborhood!
