Avocado Cantina – Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

-
Simply Capri – Winter Garden, Florida
Surprisingly tasty. Cozy outdoor seating. A great Winter Garden spot.
-
Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar – Jupiter, Florida
Standard above-average chain restaurant food. Very good Harbourside location with expansive outdoor seating.
-
Del Pesto – Jupiter, Florida
An amazing find, tucked away in a modest strip mall. Neither the indoor nor the outdoor seating is amazing — but the food is. I’ve had most of the menu and nothing disappoints.
-
Moon Thai & Japanese – Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Just so-so Thai food. Great location, but it’s never packed — I think because the food is just OK.
-
Pizza Al Fresco – Palm Beach, Florida
Wonderful service and good food. Very nice outdoor seating on one of Palm Beach’s charming vias off Worth Avenue.
-
Jax Bistro & Bar – Boynton Beach, Florida
OK for a local bite, but nothing to write home about.
-
Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen – Boca Raton, Florida
I found the food to be substandard. The pizza was underwhelming.
-
Il Fornaio – Del Mar, California
Fabulous Italian food, amazing ocean views, and surprisingly affordable. Fair warning: packed on a weekend night.
-
Shimbashi Izakaya – Del Mar, California
Best for sushi and appetizers. They don’t have the great ocean view that some of the restaurants higher up in Del Mar Plaza enjoy.
