then you just have to calm your curiosity by checking it out and having
dinner there. Here are just a few restaurants that are mentioned time
and time again, as a wonderful place to eat. Here’s what a few food
critics had to say about these restaurants. There are more, but we only
have so much room.
Watercolors Cafe
999 E Camino Real, Radisson Bridge Resort, Boca Raton, FL 33432
561-368-9500
Set alongside the Intra coastal Waterway, this casual cafe affords views
of cruising yachts and native fish in the waters. A saltwater aquarium
and a menagerie of animal sculptures also add character to the place.
The American-styled menu places a premium on seafood and also offers salads,
pastas, and a host of other dishes, including a selection of appetizers
and desserts. On weekend evenings, you'll find live entertainment, but
anytime you go is certain to be filled with relaxation and great dining.
Carmen's
999 E Camino Real, Radisson Bridge Resort of Boca Raton, Boca Raton, FL
33432 • 561-750-8354
User Rating: 9 / 10
It's hard to compete with the incredible views of the Atlantic and the
Intra coastal at this long-lived restaurant, but the menu holds its own
beautifully. Specializing in continental cuisine, Carmen's offers such
traditional fare as seafood, steaks, lamb, and pastas. The romantic ambience
makes the restaurant perfect for an evening out, and live music adds to
the allure. Brunch-goers from all over applaud Carmen's Sunday champagne
brunch, which features breakfast fare, fresh fruit, omelets, appetizers,
desserts, pastas, and hot entrees. Bubbly is included in the price, which
runs about $35.
Kee Grill
17940 N Military Tr, Boca Raton, FL 33496 • 561-995-5044
User Rating: 8.25 / 10
Sporting a tasteful, tropical theme, this restaurant pays due homage to
its namesake, an eidetic beach in Hawaii. The cuisine itself features
a number of Pacific Rim-inspired entrees, including soy and sesame-glazed
swordfish, a crowd favorite. Crab cakes, macadamia-crusted snapper, and
a chunky, fragrant cioppino are also available, and seafood appears frequently
in appetizers. Meat-eating patrons appreciate lamb chops, chicken, steaks,
and the popular grilled veal chop. Each entree is accompanied by a selection
of side dishes, which include creamed spinach, asparagus, and the like.
Given the restaurant's perennial popularity, waits are not unlikely, so
plan accordingly.
Legal Sea Foods
6000 W Glades Rd, Towne Center, Boca Raton, FL 33431 • 561-447-2112
Legal takes pride in the fact that it's both seafood supplier and restaurant
chain. Over the years, the company has spearheaded the effort to bring
only top-quality seafood to customers, and the restaurant makes the point
with its impeccable cuisine. The establishment's intimate environment
is punctuated by a blue-and-white color scheme and model ships. An extensive
menu, prepared weekly, offers seafood that's fried, wood-grilled, baked,
and sautéed. Whole lobster, shrimp, mahi mahi, and scallops are
flawlessly prepared, and the cioppino is a classic. A raw bar serves terrific
shellfish, and steak and chicken are available too. Make sure you try
the clam chowder, which has been a staple at the past six U.S. presidential
inaugurations. Can't be beat!
Big City Tavern
5250 Town Center Cir, Boca Raton, FL 33486 • 561-361-4551
User Rating: 8.6 / 10
Frequented by an attractive crowd who come for the scene as much as the
food, the Tavern is known for its social appeal and spirited ambience.
Food, inspired by many cultures, includes pad thai, beef tenderloin, roast
chicken, rare tuna salad, grilled pork chops, and scrambled eggs with
brioche and caviar. Desserts include crème brûlée,
cheesecake, and a decadent raspberry tart. Draft and bottled beer, both
domestic and imported, effectively satiates your thirst, and wines by
the glass are perfect for sipping while you scope out the host of attractive
patrons. At lunch, sandwiches and salads take priority, along with burgers,
pastas, and such temptations as jerk chicken, crab cakes, and shrimp enchiladas.
These are just a few of the great restaurants in Boca Raton. Whether
you’re in the mood for seafood, all-American, Chinese or Thai, you
can find a place that will satisfy all your taste buds. Boca Raton wants
you to be happy while you’re here and if you’re looking for
something more permanent, like a luxury condo as a second home, or even
an estate in one of our beautiful country clubs, give us a call and let’s
talk about what else Boca Raton has to offer its residents.
