Sazio Restaurant

Reviewed By Brinababy

Service with a smile, delicious wine from their cellar, salad, pizza and ambiance. Perfect place to spend out last night in Delray Beach. I noticed they were always busy whenever we walked by and now we know why! They are once of the smaller restaurants, dine indoors or out. Extensive menu, we would definitely return.

City Oyster

Reviewed By Mari9

So happy we came to this restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is large with a great bar, but we chose to sit outside on a beautiful warm sunny day. Our server Matteo was excellent. He provided great service, was personable and engaging. He made our dining experience that much better. My husband had the endless Bloody Mary and never had to ask for a refill. We came during Saturday brunch and ordered off that menu. My hubby had the blackened fish tacos. Three good sized tacos with mahi mahi, which was fresh and moist. I had a house salad, which was crisp and large in size. I was so happy to see no-rice sushi offerings in the menu. I ordered the tuna, which had 6 pieces. The tuna was very fresh with a kick of spice and wrapped in this crisp cucumber. It was so good! I will definitely be back to this restaurant to experience dinner next time I’m in Delray Beach.

We visited here while on vacation and it was a great local spot. Very friendly service at bar and the table. Delicious steaks and lots to choose from if you don’t eat meat..seabass, lobster Mac n cheese, King Crab claws. The restaurant is on a very fun street with numerous shops and other restaurants in walking distance. Easy Uber ride from West Palm Beach too. Highly recommend if visiting this area!!

Went with friends to see the Harvest moon, they even put out a telescope for viewing. Overlooking the Ocean, what can be bad.It happened to be Flavors of palm Beach, which is restaurant month. You get a 3 course meal for $39.I started with an excellent Ceviche which can change daily and comes with plantain chips .That night was grouper with coconut milk. My wife loves Lobster Bisque with crostini and lobster chunks.For mains, I opted for the TAGLIATELLE pasta with asparagus, wild and tamed mushrooms, san marzano pomodoro tomatoes, local Florida shrimp or you can get belll and evans grilled chicken breast. Nice size portion and very good.For dessert we have the BEIGNETS with a Blueberry compote, dulce de leche , and chantilly cream, also great. Also the DAILY GELATO which a choice was Nutella.Shantel, our server was an absolute delight.

Dada

Reviewed By Carey04

We made a reservation after looking over the menu on TA, expecting that there would be some vegetarian options available. Upon arriving, it was clear that the menu in the restaurant was very different- both in content and prices listed- from the one posted on TA, (their website menu wasn't viewable on my mobile device). They have one vegetarian entree, and I was allergic to one of the ingredients. When we asked our server if there were any other options, his reply was "not really". We asked another staff member about options, and the manager sent over a completely different server, who worked with us by modifying the pasta dish (after multiple trips to check with the chef). But seriously- a restaurant of this caliber should have willing and knowledgeable servers who will work with customers to meet their needs, especially when marketing themselves as a "vegetarian friendly" establishment. The service in other areas (drink refills, etc) was slow. My husband's crab cake portion was small, and there weren't any half-portion options for our kids. Honestly, I've been wanting to try Dada for several years- we go out to eat every night while on vacation in Delray- and it was a big disappointment compared to the other meals we enjoyed that week. Also, we did talk with the manager about the menu being different from the ones we found online, and he said that they would update it. The TA menu is still outdated, over a month later.Hello,I deeply apologize for the inaccurate menu and service you experienced. Our most up to date menu is always posted on our website and we will make sure to update on other platforms as well. I do want to thank you for taking the time to write a review and am very sorry that your experience didn't meet your expectations. Please contact me directly at [email protected], and perhaps we can address the issue.Thank you,Avani Seegers

Great little bistro tucked down quaint 2nd Ave. Great waiter! He knew his wine and his food! Great suggestions! This place is well known to locals so if you are there on a Friday etc....don’t get there late it’s packed. Now we had a great little table for two outside on the street ....but it could be buggy and muggy later in the year....there was a table inside for us but it was too noisy for our older ears ...The wine was great ......the food was great .....did I mention the wine was great....ha I can’t remember what we shared..too much wine I think ...but it was fantastic......I know the fudge brownie with homemade ice cream and coffee was fantastic! Seriously this is a great little venue with great staff and food!

J&J Seafood Bar and Grill

Reviewed By nancypH6606EN

Hadn't been here for a while and I won't wait this long ever again! It's a very small restaurant and can be noisy but the food is wonderful and the vibe is great! They used to have a Seafood Tower appetizer but it's no longer on the menu. It was superb. Now they have a J&J Tower which includes filet mignon, shrimp and a crabcake. Two people ordered this said it was terrific. I had the seafood mixed grill and thought it was sublime. Be sure to make a reservation!
