Best restaurants near me in North Palm Beach, FL

I was on vacation in Florida, and went to Carmine’s three times for dinner. I had lamb Oso Buco, halibut special and scallops. Each dish was absolutely delicious! The pistachio ricotta cake was out of this world. I highly recommend Carmines. 

We love coming to Limoncello every time we are in the area. Tonight we both had veal. Saltimbocca for me, piccata for Mrs. Oh so tender and flavorful. Friday night and very busy, so on the loud side, but we could still hear each other and enjoy a great meal. We also ordered two pasta entrees to take back to SC tomorrow. Great wine list, too. Don’t be misled by the wines listed on the website. Go there.

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant is a fine dining gem. The menu is creative and has a wonderful variety of options. There are also chef specials with wine pairings that always work perfectly. Last night I had the chef special surf and turf which was a crab stuffed lobster tail and parmesan crusted filet medallions paired with a very nice Cabernet. It was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was spot on. I highly recommend this for a romantic night out or a family or friends gathering. You will not be disappointed.

If, ever there was a reason to move to Florida, it is Cafe Chardonnay. Fabulous food, outstanding professional service, and one of the best wine lists around. Tonight the Mrs. had blackened grouper and I went for the rack of lamb. Both were prepared to perfection. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Kind of an unlikely location, but as a result there is plenty of parking, and I sense that most of the diners are loyal locals. We are not locals but come here just to visit Cafe Chardonnay, one of our favorites anywhere.

The location is beautiful. We were seated on the patio, which gives a nice view of the intercostal. There was some noise from cars driving over the drawbridge, but didn’t take away from the experience. My boyfriend and I both got seasonal cocktails, which were delicious. I recommend trying the cranberry and sage. I got the shrimp and grits, which were very flavorful. I would definitely get again. My boyfriend got the pork chop, which he enjoyed. Our waitress, Missy, was very friendly and attentive without hovering. Overall the experience was wonderful and we will definitely be coming back.
