Nice place. Liked the food and the space. We will definitely eat here or elsewhere at the chain in the future. They messed up our order a bit but I mention it only to point out that they did well in correcting the errors, and like I said we'll be eating there again. Good, inexpensive wine list if you don't want to splurge, food was a bit pricy but very good.

Came here today with my mom and sister for the first time. Boy it was well worth the trip from Port Saint lucie. Couldn't believe there was a sears there. Sadly it looks like it's closing down. Inside the mall has gorgeous scenery. Fountains everywhere and incredible tiled floors. Will definitely be coming back to the gardens mall no doubt.

Absolutely love this Mall. Beautiful, the lights arent too bright and everything is always clean. Macys, Claires, Apple, many more stores. Awesome food court many options as well as a few really nice restaurants. Parking can be confusing at times. The mall almost sits on a hill if I can say that . There's 2 levels. Some parking puts you on ground level other puts you on 2nd floor but I didn't see any parking help signs. Usually something is always happening for Holidays like pictures with the Easter bunny ! Great place to shop and eat !

The best mall around! A little bit of everything, including luxury brands. Two levels, an excellent food court, and beautiful decor. This is my favorite place to spend some money! Come in comfy shoes, it's a big mall. My favorite stores include Lush, Athleta, Lululemon, and Nordstrom. Also have a MAC, as well as all the teen faves like Forever 21, Aero, AM Eagle, Bath & Body Works, and so on. For the little kiddos, Build a Bear is always a hit. Enjoy!

This mall is awesome. All the upscale shopping you can want. Plenty of stores across the mid to high end on the price table. Clean. Open. Has an airy feel to it. I enjoyed walking around window wish shopping. Great food court.

Palm Beach Gardens Mall is a beautiful, clean and thriving shopping center featuring unique and upscale retailers such as Nordstrom, Lululemon, Swarovski, and more. Their anchor stores include Sears, Bloomingdale’s and a three-story Macy’s. I was awe-struck by the appearance on my first and second visits.

The mall is very beautiful and clean! I love the stores in the mall. It has 2 floors with the more expensive brands on the second floor, plenty of parking. There are several restaurants around the mall as well. Definitely recommend coming to pass the time, window shopping , or have a nice shop till you drop day 🤣!!

A very luxurious and high end mall that is thriving! Extremely beautiful and well maintained! Numerous water features and fountains throughout the interior and exterior of the mall. Plenty of natural light and open spaces. This mall is nearly 100% occupied with some of the best retail and department store chains in the country! Great restaurants and great shopping! This mall features one of three open Sears stores in the state of Florida! Landscaping in and around the complex is superb! Wasn’t extremely busy for a weekday afternoon but I assume this mall is bustling on the weekends. Lots of seating around the mall to relax and take in the sights and sounds of many different water features! Very safe and secure facility! Staff here is wonderful and very friendly! I really recommend stopping at this mall when you are in the southeastern Florida area! The water fountains and features alone are worth the visit! Has to be one of if not the prettiest looking malls in the country and world!

You can find all the best brands here. Really nice shopping center. There is a nice little food court. I shopped at Macy's and Nordstrom with my wife at this mall. They also have a Tesla showroom here where we signed up for a test-drive. They have a number of luxury clothing brands also. Overall great mall.

Well the Gardens mall has everything you need from the food court for ice cream at the food court Chick-fil-A at the food court and then you start heading into the mall either Starbucks there's Johnny wise there's salt life there's a Tesla store Restoration Hardware the list goes on and on and on and on and on and then we have Nordstrom's at Christmas time and and the security at the mall is phenomenal some of the restaurants aren't that great blood and it is one of the best malls around and then we have Bloomingdale's Bloomingdale's has many sales throughout the year and then JCPenney which also has many sales throughout the year as we continue around the mall we find that it's decorated very nice places to sit everywhere and it's very conveniently located in Palm Beach Gardens in Florida here so I highly recommend going to the Gardens Mall being that it's really centrally located in the garage

PGA National Resort is a world-renowned golf destination with elegant rooms and suites, thermal pools and fine to casual dining. The resort offers amazing photo opportunities and excellent relaxation options, perfect for travelers looking for a great place to stay in Palm Beach that will leave them feeling truly relaxed and rejuvenated.
Conference stay after hurricane wiped out Naples. Experience was great. Generous bar and food/service was good. Room was very large, well appointed with welcome water and charger outlets easy to find. Bathroom was well appointed. Marble floor was very slick when wet and a real slip hazard. I used towels for traction. My colleague had same experience in his room. Overall great visit.

Decent! We went to the spa, the restaurant, and hung out by the pools all day. The best parts were the quality of massages we got, the fish sandwich, poke bowl, honeybelle pie at the restaurant, and the large and spacious main pool. We liked the concept of the mineral and dead sea salt pools, but we needed to ask them to skim them (to get the dead floating bugs and debris off) and all of the pools needed water, so that the built-in skimmers can function properly. The staff was pleasant, especially Alex, but they had me down as a female and had the wrong name for my massage, which was annoying. The front desk experience at the spa could be more streamlined too... We literally had to say our last name 3 times, which isn't a difficult one. The locker rooms were nice, clean, and smelled good! The pool area could stand to be weeded and the trees trimmed. Overall, it was a good value and we would definitely go back! Personally, I liked it better than The Breakers, so if they just fine-tune on the details, they're almost there!

Our stay from beginning to end was fantastic. Staff was amazing and so friendly. Rooms were immaculate. Golf course was in fantastic shape and a great course for my husband to play Not one thing to complain about during our stay.

The stay started with renting a cottage, which truly was a dump. We looked at a second cottage, again a dump. They moved us to the resort hotel room, which was beautifully remodeled. Although a beautiful room they had no coffee in room, not lotion and other normal amenities. It seems they are having real operational issues. The real kicker is when we received our bill it was over $10K when we had a golf package that should have been around $3500. They had our room number associated with another couple we were with so it got even more confusing. Although they had the same golf package! We have tried for two days getting this corrected and still no correction. I have sent three emails and called three times. The last call was to the managers boss so I'll be helpful.

What a gorgeous hotel and property!! I had an event for work and decided to stay here. Check-in was a breeze, but the front desk could probably use some more help. The hotel was super busy with tons of guests so more hands on deck would be nice. I loved my room - I was on the first floor and I had a nice view. The hotel is dog friendly and so I brought my dog, but the only thing that I didn’t like is that there are no waste stations and no pet waste station bags for pets. Good thing I had extras in my car. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!!

Nice place to stay! Chris was very accommodating and friendly at check in, not only did he allow for us to check in a little early, but also gave us an upgrade:) Poolside service was amazing! Suleyman and Justin were great! Suleyman was constantly navigating the pool to make sure our orders were taken and fulfilled. His suggestion to order the steak sandwich was on point, it was delicious! Quiet, relaxing atmosphere, nice getaway.

My stay at the PGA Nashville Resort was a very nice one. I was there for a convention and the staff at the hotel was very friendly and very accommodating. One of the things that I really enjoyed about staying at the PGA National Resort is that they have a shuttle service that takes you to anywhere that you want to go in the area within I believe a 10 to 15 minutes radius. The pool at the resort was very welcoming and allowed nonswimmers to be able to enjoy any part of it, since it was not deeper than 5 feet. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Recently stayed at PGA resort while visiting family. Thoroughly enjoyed the property. The surrounding grounds are very pretty. We love to walk, and you can go for miles on the surrounding streets and paths. The gym is excellent. There is an very nice pool with an attentive staff and sufficient chairs. It overlooks the property which gives it "an open" feeling. There is easily accessible free parking as well as valet parking. The greatest attribute is an amazing staff. They are very attentive and pleasant. We had numerous encounters all of which consistently top notch! We used the breakfast coffee bar daily and it is quite good. Cannot elaborate on the dining experience, as we ate off property each day. The rooms are fine, but not a highlight of the experience. Several of the posted reviews were quite negative, so I wanted to elaborate. Our room was very clean, reasonably modern and quite spacious. While, I wouldn't state that it was 5 star, it was quite acceptable. Every other aspect of our stay was "6 stars" on a 5 star scale, and frankly in Florida, most individuals don't spend a tremendous amount of waking hours in their room. We have stayed at other hotels in the area, and this is now our favorite. We plan to use the resort each time we visit our son. My parents are heading down in a few weeks, and we insisted that they stay at the PGA.

Beware of your tab at PGA National Bar. First off, they add gratuity, that's understandable as a lot of places are doing that these days. However, my girlfriend ask for a Cranberry Juice and got charged for a Tito's and Cranberry by the young woman (Lauren) which jacked the price up $14.00. The other bartender (Willie) was very accomodating with food service and attentive. There's going to be high volume this weekend with the Classic, and there will be a lot of service at the bar after the event each day, so watch your tabs.

Spent 6 figures on a Wedding and many rooms at PGA National. From the planning, to the valet parking at arrival, to the incorrect and unaccountable billing at the end, it was a frustrating and shoddy experience. Most employees could care less about guest satisfaction. One of our guests went back Monday to tell the GM of all deficiencies. I'm can't get full credit for overcharges after a marathon attempt. Sorry I did not read these reviews before booking. The service at Butcher's Club restaurant was impressive, I assume they have other ownership.

Beautiful resort. We had a quick stay while visiting friends in the area. I would have given them 5 stars if I didn't get a massive red toe nail stuck in my heal as I walked around my room, and find a clump of hair in my shower. They apologized when I called the front desk and was told they would come to clean immediately after we left for dinner. They never cleaned the hair in the shower. I wasn't going to bring it up again but my fiancée said I should. My resort fee was removed from my bill after mentioning what happened.

I am not one to give a review, especially a negative review. We stayed for 2 nights in one of the 2 bedroom cottages so I can only speak to these accommodations. The cottage was very gross. The one we stayed at has not been remodeled at all. The floor was sticky, the bathrooms were just plain nasty. The washer broke on the first day and was not fixed and had standing water in it the whole time. The carpet in bedrooms was badly stained. If you are picky at all about cleanliness or having an updated accommodation I would highly not recommend to stay in the cottages! Nasty! I would assume the hotel rooms are remodeled and much nicer! The staff was so nice and the pool looked beautiful! The gym in the resort was fantastic too! The bar is very old school but looked decent. I just know I would have liked to read a review like mine before my husband booked the cottage.

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a spa day with my best friend and again, as always, it proved to be a lovely day at that! We started with a WONDERFUL massage experience (THANK YOU, Miss Renee) and then the new salt room. The different pools require an entire day just in themselves, but we were able to squeeze in some time there, which is ALWAYS lovely. [The sauna was not working that day but that only gave us more time in between]. Then we ended it with a relaxing facial (which was the best facial I’ve EVER had - THANK YOU Federica). When you’re at The PGA, there are never enough hours in a day! As always, I can’t wait to go back.

The hotel is very nice, pool area is great. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Our stay included late check out but we got locked out of our rooms at regular check out time and I had to go ask to get it fixed. Our stay also included a daily breakfast for two but we were charged for it and a food and beverage credit that was not applied. I had to reach out to have the issue corrected rather than it being right from the start.

Hotel is retro themed. Room was clean. Beautiful grounds and scenery. However, I was ignored by valet when checking in and had to ask for valet service. They offer a package which includes free valet which is nice but tag on 20% gratuity to every check along with resort fee and service fees so I didn't feel I really got a deal.

For a 5 star it has a lot to be desired. There are only 2 outlets in the room. The thermostat is either cold or freezing. There's no coffee maker only instant. You have to plug the pitcher for hot water in the bathroom. The shower floor is very slippery with no grab bars. That's not all but I expected more from a high level hotel

Upon arrival the valet/bellman was on point. Unfortunately, after that service was a nightmare. I called 5 times to ask if our room was ready. Each time the operator explained that the front desk was busy and they would not answer the phones. Kinda inconvenient! Asked 3 different times for a blanket for our room....never arrived. Refrigerator in our room did not work. Seriously, someone had to complain at some time about that but, apparently, it was not important enough to warrant repair. The only restaurant on site during the day was "the diner" awful food prepared badly. Charges billed to our room were also incorrect. Still working on that. On our way out I ordered two iced teas w orange slices . They gave me iced coffees w/ orange slices. Another miss. All this off season, I can't imagine how bad it is on season! What a shame that such a beautiful hotel is ran so poorly. I think a visit from corporate is needed.

Mixed experience. Before check-in I called the front desk 3 times with no answer! Cottage rooms were nicely remodeled and golf on the Champ course was great, but service was very uneven. Our group of 12 were all supposed to be in cottages located together. 4 of us were put in the hotel and our 2 cottages were not together. My golf bag was supposed to be delivered to the golf area, but it never made it there. My stored bags pre-departure were wet when I retrieved them. We played 3 of the 6 courses. One was closed (Fazio) due to issues with the greens, one (Palmer) was a swamp and cart path only. Championship course was also very wet. Match course was fun. My bill was incorrect and still trying to sort it out. I just called the front desk to get it fixed, and again, NO ANSWER. Overall, a nicely kept property and good amenities, but overall golf quality is poor for the price and service was mixed at best. Not a 5-star hotel.

Had a GREAT stay about the PGA National. Was there for almost two weeks. Can't say enough great things about it. I'll start with the staff - awesome service, from top to bottom. The check-in staff, lobby bartenders, restaurant waiters, concierge, staff at the spa, etc. were all top notch! A special shout out to the front desk manager, Chris Gordon, who bent over backwards, and was very patient and kind, to accommodate many of the special requests I had. The main restaurant was great, the bar was wonderful, the grounds were well kept, the property was beautiful, the valet parking attendants were helpful, and the spa was great. The only slight ding I would give was the lobby bar menu - could be a bit more diverse and broader; a relatively limited selection. But beyond that, AWESOME!

Dirty rooms, full of hair all over the carpet floor, sofa, bathroom, and room robe. The towels were clean but very old and worn. The room didn't have windows, it was claustrophobic, only the balcony but without a view because the bush covered it. I was working in the room, so staying there for many hours, made me see all these problems. I took my little dog, every time she played with her ball, she caught all the hairs on the carpet in her little snout. For an expensive hotel, they are stingy in terms of room conditions. The only positive thing is it is a dog friendly hotel.
Karin Vera — Google review
This hotel has nearly no restaurants that are open and it is tough to get food. The service is terrible. We made a reservation for 545 at the Steakhouse on a Monday only to be told when we went to dinner that the restaurant wasn’t open on Mondays. It took 45 minutes to a get a sandwich and a pizza at the other restaurant despite being the only people eating at the time. My suite was next to the elevator and we could hear it going up and down in our room all night. It is not close to a 5 star resort.

Our stay has been amazing from start to finish. Our room was very comfortable. Justin and Brendan at the pool were very accommodating and they both make great drinks. We had the chance to have a rare evening together as our son stayed with some friends close by and Ameer and Jared prepared a special surprise for us. Brooke was also very welcoming at the front desk. Over all, our stay has been excellent. We are coming from France so not being from the area we didn’t really know what to expect but now we know for sure we will stay here again the next time we come to the states. Thank you PGA for great memories!!

Ocean Reef Park is a public beach that offers a range of amenities such as playgrounds, saltwater fishing areas, picnic tables and on-site lifeguards. The beach is well maintained with clean sand and clear water that's warm even during winter months. Visitors are encouraged to keep the area tidy through the use of buckets provided along the boardwalk. Children will find it exciting as they can search for treasures in the form of beautiful shells scattered around the beach.
This beach is beautiful, not crowded and clean. They have a shower and bathrooms available. Our kids loved it and we found a lot of beautiful shells out there. This was our first trip there and we will definitely be going back.

We had a great time visiting the beach here! It's a very pretty, family friendly place with beautiful lush greenery surrounding the walkways down to the water. Dog friendly as well! There are some larger rock formations and during high tide, the waves splash against them and create some awesome photo opps. Highly recommend! We have a beach just 5 min away from our home but we prefer driving the extra 15 minutes to this one.
Quentilla Alton — Google review
This is an unexpected little spot that has a great parking lot, restrooms and an unpresuming beach with lots of interesting features. There are rock formations at low tide that make for spectacular wave action, other rock formations that are very interesting to look at but could be a problem if you are body surfing when it is not low tide and they are not visible. Ouch! There are tons of shells for those who like collecting. They're not the most interesting shells, but they sure are plentiful. The sand is very nice here , fluffy and just what a beach should be. The walk to and from the beach is quite nice also. It is lined with lovely trees and this makes it a special occasion walking to and from. This is a lovely spot that we will likely return to.

What a beautiful beach, wasn't crowded at all.water was clear and pretty warm for January.

The Manatee Lagoon Eco-Discovery Center is a great place to learn about manatees, who are often referred to as sea cows. The center is open from November 15 through March 31, but you can visit it year-round if the manatees are in the area. There are many activities and events scheduled at the center for family enjoyment, so make sure to check their website before your visit.
We had the best time! The people who work there are so knowledgeable, and very sweet. We were so excited to see Manatees, they are such amazing creatures. My kids want to go back again next week!

Manatee Lagoon is a fabulous place for the whole family and it's totally Free! You'll only see Manatees during cool Florida weather from about mid November through March. They're so adorable! There's also a gift shop and an education center which explains all about Manatees and their habitat. They can do guided educational tours as well. The place is so pretty, they really made it lovely to visit. Plenty of parking too.

Prior to your visit go on there website and check out the Manatee cam. As one of the managers explained Manatee's are notorious for no-shows. Nonetheless, If you have kids and need something free to do, bring them here. What they offer? (From their website) There are other fun family options that are offered at Manatee Lagoon throughout the year. Manatee Lagoon staffers have created an extensive calendar of activities, ranging from daily educational presentations, yoga on the waterfront observation deck, programs for kids to story and more. Visit our events calendar to access the schedule and registration details. Manatee Lagoon is one of Palm Beach County's fun and engaging family-friendly attractions, with interactive, entertaining exhibits that tickle your curiosity about the environment of the Lake Worth Lagoon and the wonderful world of manatees. The only downside is I needed to know if they had wheel chairs available and because the city runs it ,the call goes directly to the power and light company which doesn't make sense. If you are not on the property how are you able to answer customers questions?

Easily accessible from the Main Road. Plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The visitor center was clean and staffed by friendly employees. There were no Manatees to see on our visit but they have a nice visitor center which is free to visit. It has a wealth of information and it also has a gift shop.

Even though it was just out of season to see Manatees in the water. Our experience was better than I expected. The outside grounds and the boardwalk areas were just nice. Inside the facility was a very well laid out museum of fish tanks, wall art, photos which were educational and interesting 🤔 about the history of the surrounding areas. Parking and museum access were all free. What a great thing (FPL)Florida Power and Light has done for us all.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Manatee Lagoon Center on a sunny afternoon, making it the perfect complement to a morning spent at the zoo. The center's main attraction is undoubtedly the manatees when they are around, and I was excited to learn that they prefer warmer water. Fortunately, there's a nearby power plant that helps keep the water temperature cozy during the winter months, making it the best time to catch a glimpse of these gentle giants. Though, on my visit, I could spot only a couple of them lingering in the deeper parts of the water. The center itself is a small but educational building that emphasizes the importance of preserving manatees and ocean life. I was impressed with their efforts to spread awareness and promote conservation. What's more, the best part was that the admission was entirely free, making it accessible to all visitors. The tour took around an hour, giving ample time to stroll around and take in the fascinating exhibits. The building had an upstairs area with a small art gallery, and I noticed what appeared to be a conference room and an observation deck, adding versatility to the space. Cleanliness is always crucial to me, and I was pleased to find the Manatee Lagoon Center impeccably maintained. The bathrooms were clean and tidy, which is always a good sign of a well-managed establishment. The ambiance was incredibly relaxing, providing a serene environment to learn and appreciate these wonderful creatures. Being close to nature and understanding its significance left a lasting impression on me. It's an ideal place to wind down and connect with the marine world. Overall, my visit to the Manatee Lagoon Center was enjoyable and enlightening. If you have an interest in marine life preservation or simply want a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend stopping by this gem of a place. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the experience is both educational and rejuvenating, and the best part is, it won't cost you a dime.

Go to Manatee Lagoon in season! I went the last weekend they were open and it was such a wonderful experience. We didn’t see any manatees just one passing by, but the museum is really awesome and relaxing on the harbor was beautiful. The staff was kind and talked to us. Also it’s FREE! (Definitely make a donation if you are able to)

Ok so we had a wonderful trip to Ft Lauderdale Florida. We went to the Manatee Lagoon to see what the family has been watching online. I have to say I wasn’t thinking it was going to be great but to my surprise it was really cool seeing them. I was amazed at all of the fish in the lagoon. We even saw some Bull Sharks. The information center was great tons of stuff related to preserving them.a great gift shop with the prices not to high. You can also make donations. Clean restrooms and the personnel working there is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would go again, also remember that it’s seasonal meaning that if the weather is cooler it’s much more likely that you will see them in the lagoon. The big animals can move too so don’t think because they are big the don’t move fast.

A fun time for adults and children alike. This attraction is run on donations. The employees or volunteers were very nice. There is a small educational area and gift shop in the building. Outside, there are two levels for viewing the manatees. There is also a walking path along the water and a few places to sit. A couple of "garden" areas allow for some nice picture opportunities. It is my understanding that the proceeds from the gift shop help fund research and education for the manatees and laugerhead turtles. This location offers tours and educational information for schools etc. The bathrooms were in need of a bit of cleaning, but it was very busy so it could be the reason the bathroom was less than desirable. Definitely stop by and see the manatees. You won't be disappointed.

It’s not bad! I just wish I could see some Manatee but wasn’t lucky enough! Maybe next time will spend more time there. But was lucky to see needle fish in lagoon. There are fishes in small aquarium indoors- loved the puffer fish!

I was educated about the manatee. There were photographs, pictures, and written information. The setting is delightful right on the Intercoastal waterway. The building looks new. The gift shop has a nice manatee merchandise mix.

Loved this place. We got to see a few manatees, turtles, and lots of different fish. Everyone here was friendly and informative. I would go again it was absolutely wonderful.
Destiny Beach — Google review
Sadly didn't see any manatees but that's fine, they're wild after all. Was still fun to look at the fish, ray and iguanas across the way. And to wander around inside. Bought a few things from the gift shop. (About 11:30am on a Wed) Will definitely come back again if the opportunity comes up. I heard earlier is better. Free, no cost unless you buy something from the gift shop.

Neat place to see with some interesting facts on manatees. Free parking and free to enter. Second floor balcony offers nice views of the langoon. Unfortunately for us it was too hot when we went so we couldn't see any manatees.

What a perfect day! Saw some manatees, fish, sting rays, sharks, lizards, etc!! The place was full of life, fun and we stayed for hours! Great place to visit and a must see for any person who wants to see some sea life up close. I wish we had better pictures but we saw them faster than we could take pictures!
Greg Swoboda — Google review
A beautiful place, we came here in March and there were only two manatees during the whole day, we didn’t have a chance to see them, only some fish. But the museum is nice and informative, the view is awesome, this place is great to visit with a kid

Great experience and it is free, so definitely recommend shopping here. They have lots of benches along the lagoon that you can sit on and look for the manatees. A member of the staff mentioned that the manatees are more active in the morning, so get there early! They also have a live stream on their website which is pretty cool.
Jacob Greber — Google review
It was the greatest . Education is key . And this place is definitely: a must visit Kids and adults can see and learn Alot of our environment. Beautiful scenery outdoors. The waterways and seeing the gentle manatees and different fish below us, was incredible. I will definitely return. Free.

Nature & Parks
John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is a secluded 438-acre destination, located along the picturesque Jack Nicklaus Drive in North Palm Beach. It offers visitors a chance to experience nature walks, kayaking, and wildlife in lush surroundings. Known for its pristine beaches, this less developed and rural park provides an ideal escape from the crowds of Palm Beach for those seeking communion with nature.
This review is for the beach park! We didn’t do any other trails this visit but loved the journey to the beach. They have a shuttle if you don’t want to walk or are tired on your way back. The boardwalk was scenic and relaxing, after you take a short flight of stairs and your at the beach. The beach was beautiful and not too crowded! Beautiful place. Definitely recommend visiting!

Fabulous state park. Shaded hiking in mangrove forest. Long boardwalk over estuary. Interesting information placards strategically placed along the way. Brilliant beach with white sand, shells, few people. Pure bliss!
Michele Miles — Google review
This is a place I've never heard about. Off the beaten path that most non Florida residents are not aware. This place is great for any beach activities you might have planned and if you just want to take a walk then they have a tail system that takes you on a different journey. I didn't personally walked any of the trails but it looked like fun. We did visit the gift shop and that was great. The best part was the beach. Not Crowded for a Saturday midday visit. However, you do have to walk about 1/4 mile from the parking lot to the beach but the state park does have a "shuttle" in the form of a long golf cart that will carry about 6 people. So be prepared, but in all honesty the walk is great you won't regret it
Franklin Quito — Google review
We stopped over on our way to the keys, fully expecting this place to be a bit boring- it was not! This is a huge park with River access, bike and hiking trails, animals galore, tons of birds, and great views from the fire lookout , which is on the highest point in Southern Florida.

It was only 5 dollar entrance fee for an SUV with 3 people in it. There is a tram that takes you from the parking to the beach for free, bring cash to tip the driver. They have bathrooms that are composting toilets. The beach is beautiful, clean and peaceful.

This place is absolutely beautiful!! I came here after doing some research for shelling and I wasn't disappointed! It was a workout. The water is so beautiful. Blue and clear. Just amazing. The nature center and gift shop is a nice add on. Be ready to walk. Have snacks and plenty of water. There are bathrooms by the beach which were clean. The shower was working as well. The boardwalk to the beach is a good walk so be prepared. There are also nature trails, so much to explore
Cayla B — Google review
This has to be one of my favorite state parks. There is a boardwalk that goes from the parking lot to the ocean. It's a beautiful 1,600-foot walk over the estuarine system. If you don't want to walk it, there is a tram that will drive you over. Once you get to to the beach you are greeted by white sands and blue ocean water. Everyday we saw manatees swimming pretty close to the beach, there were tons of shells, the water was so blue and the waves were perfect. But there were lots of Man of War on the beach while we were here.

Visited again 10 years later in 2023, and still a beautiful, quiet beach! We gladly pay $5 for parking. They also offer picnic areas, parks, kayaking, a nature center, and a quiet, shaded walking/hiking trail. When the tide goes out, you can go out into the water far enough to have a blast, even if you can’t swim! There’s even an electric tram that will take you across the almost 1/3 mile walk from the parking lot to the beach!

Great park. Fantastic staff & volunteers. I JUST reviewed this and even added pictures so I'm not sure why the Google has me doin' it again.

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is truly a natural treasure in Florida. My visit to this park was an incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations. The park offers a perfect blend of pristine beaches, lush native vegetation, and abundant wildlife, making it a nature lover's paradise. One of the highlights of my visit was the beautiful, unspoiled beach. It's a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, with crystal clear waters and soft, clean sand. I enjoyed a peaceful walk along the shore, taking in the stunning ocean views and the calming sound of the waves. The park's nature trails were equally impressive. Winding through diverse habitats, they provided a great opportunity to observe local flora and fauna. The boardwalks over the estuaries were especially fascinating, offering a close-up view of the park's aquatic life. I also appreciated the educational aspect of the park. The nature center offers insightful exhibits about the park's ecosystem and conservation efforts. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing interesting facts and answering all my questions. John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is not just a place to visit, but an experience to be cherished. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates natural beauty and tranquility. Whether you're into swimming, hiking, bird watching, or just relaxing in nature, this park has something for everyone.

Well, I thought it was a little strange that handed the girl my pass , she actually asked me for identification. I guess she's the only one doing her job. I've been to 81 out of 176 state parks. And never been asked for ID. It was a beautiful place.. They have a great handicap Boardwalk. It takes you through the mangroves. It's the coolest spot on the property. It's a canopy of trees and mangroves.. They also have a great gift shop carrying beautiful artisan pieces from local artists in the Florida area. There is a shuttle that takes you across the bridge over to the beach. You cross over the river down a very long Boardwalk. The shuttle driver was a really nice man and very knowledgeable about the property. They have great kayak launches throughout the mangroves to launch your own kayak or rent one. Also a small hiking trail throughout the mangroves. The beach is beautiful. So pristine and natural when you look back to the west, it's outlined with beautiful Dunes with mangroves and Palms. The sand is extremely hot.. Don't forget your shoes. There are lifeguards on duty, and in that particular portion of the ocean, it is extremely rough water. Please make sure that you have your children in life jackets. There was extreme undertow in that area of the beach. I hope you enjoy my recommendation, and when you're over on Singer Island in Riviera Beach, you definitely want to stop in to John MacArthur Park. DON'T FORGET TO STAY HYDRATED
Michele Gentile — Google review
Beautiful beach with a really nice boardwalk to walk on. Only $5 for a car to enter and there's a small visitor centre with some information on the formation of the mangroves and animals. The bathrooms at the end of the Sand Dune trail were locked so maybe ask at the gate first if you're counting on them. Otherwise use the ones at the nature centre before heading to the beach.

Vegan restaurant
Christopher's Kitchen is an organic and mostly raw restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida that specializes in modern and delicious fare. They pride themselves on being a healthy option for diners and offer a variety of creative dishes made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant has a small but lovely wine selection as well as craft beer, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a special meal or drink with friends.
Vegan never tasted so good! Was in town for a golf tournament and my wife dragged me to Christopher's. i was happy she did! I loved each dish and the service was so good too!

I wanted to like this restaurant because I am vegan and I live near by. Unfortunately, I don’t like taste of the dishes that they serve there. Not only this place is pricy for the amount of food you get, but also it doesn’t taste good to me (and I have been visiting this restaurant more than once as this was the only vegan option around). For example, their avocado nori rolls were so tough to chew; special soup of the day, carrot- ginger, was super over salted 😨; living pizza wasn’t bad, but at the meantime, $22 for 4 crackers with toppings is over priced, to my opinion. Nacho dish is not impressive as well: big pile of corn chips, couple spoons of guacamole and salsa, couple spoons of beans. You finish the toppings and ended with bunch of chips left… The curry and the garden pizza are so so… 😕 This place also uses honey in some dishes. So it’s not a vegan restaurant. On the bright side, customer service is great. Hopefully, I would not have to go there again…

Salute Market is a trendy spot that offers a variety of experiences, from enjoying small plates and craft cocktails to dining on a seasonally focused menu. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, this establishment has gained popularity for its globally-inspired cuisine since opening in 2015. Visitors praise the attentive service and diverse seating options, including an outdoor bar. The menu features well-presented dishes like bacon-wrapped dates and perfectly prepared Benedicts.
Delicious short ribs dish for dinner. Strawberry lemonade is delicious. Their happy hours between 4-7 pm. menus also great. Sangria and nan bread is a great combination. I eat here 3 times a week lol The service I would say for the bar area are the nicest at this restaurant.

Our servers name was Jason E and he was awesome! the atmosphere was great, oldies were playing if you like that. We had passionfruit margaritas and they were not bad, not the best but not bad! the mediterranean plate was the star of the show. 2 super flavorful types of hummus served with crunchy cucumber and warm pita. my friend loved her Coriander grilled shrimp. Roasted veggie plate was not great but expected from vegetarian options at a non-vegetarian restaurant. great overall! would likely come back just for drinks, apps & a cute little catchup.

The Brunch Menu has something for everyone. Herbivores, carnivores and vegan! Wine list pairs well with the appetizer items. We (12 person crowd)also tried the mocktails - delicious! If you don't like crowds it's better to dine during the week. There is no covering for outdoor dining so be vigilant of seeds falling from the trees above or sit at the bar (which IS covered), beware of birds and the relentless Florida Sun. So LOVELY that they allowed our dog to dine outdoors with us. Thanks Salute !

In researching restaurants with bottom Mimosa I came across Salute. Next the Pork Belly and Cornbread Waffles AND the burger caught my eye. I love food with all sorts of different flavors and how I describe as eclectic. I got the Waffles and the hubby got the burger. My friends for the Skillet Scramble and Bananas Foster French Toast. I was able to taste all the dishes and they were all explosions of flavor in my mouth.i was very happy with my brunch selection. Cloey, our waitress, and Derek, bartender, were super nice, attentive and took fabulous care of us. I prefer not to go to the same restaurant twice because there are so many to try. But I think I may go go back for music, happy hour and Cloey.

Love this restaurant! I’ve been meaning to try it for months and I’m so happy to finally have been to Salute Market. We were welcomed by a manager who actually took the time to show us all of our seating options (outside, at the bar, near the bar, in the dining room) and introduced us to the menu. We loved the suggestions! The bacon wrapped dates are to die for! The cocktails were superb. The Benedict was perfectly prepared. This will be a regular stop for me whenever I’m in the area.

Went to this lovely restaurant with a nice selection of wines and full bar. Christine was helping us tonight. Manager Dom stopped in several times and made sure all was perfect. Was fun to watch the silverware refresh each course. with we went with many different plates. We started with the antipasto platter, meatballs, and from the October fest menu, the stuffed cabbage. Each item was just delicious. (Only got the leftovers on the Antipasto.) :( next course came and we had the Salmon Succatash So delicious ! Schnitzel is perfectly prepared and to kinds of Naan Flatbread pizzas. Mushroom & Goat cheese and an artichoke and spinach. Wow, amazing flavors in each! It's hard to say which we liked best. Can't believe the flavors were so full on each plate. Christine made sure the glass of water was full all night and that the ones who drank wine had what they wanted thru out the dinner. It happened to be our good friends birthday tonight, so we went with a dessert. We went with the Bread pudding, and it was Devine!

Salute is our go-to restaurant for a relaxing evening with great food and service. We often get Dayna as our server, who greats us with a smile and recommends from their monthly specials from around the world. Tonight we dined in France, starting with a decadent French onion soup, followed by Coq au vin and chateaubriand. We finished with beignets filled with banana cream. Wow! And of course, Domenico always takes care of us, checking to be sure our night is perfect (it always is). Salute is a true gem in Palm Beach Gardens and not to be missed.

Great find. I would take my family and friends. We had two red wines. Served is very nice wine glasses. Could use a little more portion. For dinner, we got the shrimp and the pork belly and waffles. The shrimp dish was typical but good. It is as expected based on the description. The pork belly and waffle was very good. The pool belly was cooked perfectly. Crispy and moist. The waffles sweetness was a nice touch with the pickles veggie and cream sauce.

Italian restaurant
This PGA Boulevard classic has a waterfront patio serving delicious Italian dishes, live music on Thursdays through Saturdays, and friendly staff. The food is excellent and the service is speedy. Early or late arrival is advised, as the restaurant can get quite busy.
I take my food and restaurant atmosphere seriously and Carmines received 5 Stars ✨. I had the best time visiting the restaurant on a Sunday evening. The atmosphere was great, the restaurant location and design was top notch and the food is delicious. My waiter was awesome and attentive so he received a great tip. The meals were not not very expensive but above average pricing and worth every penny. The menu had so many great choices it was hard to decide what to eat. I highly recommend. P. S. No relation to Carmines on NYC. They serve large portions and it tastes better than NYC Carmines which I enjoy also.

This is a beautiful place to soak up the atmosphere of West Palm Beach. We were outside on the large patio and enjoyed looking at the boats. It’s a very busy place so I’d recommend reservations.

We started our New Year's Eve waiting 40 min in an extremely long and crowded line even though we had reservations, a bad omen for what was to come. The promised festive ambiance was lost in the crushing crowd, making movement and dancing impossible. with a fantastic live singer and a truly vibrant atmosphere. However, our excitement quickly dampened when my branzino arrived with a long, dark hair in it. It’s possible because we were sitting by the dance floor the hair could be from a guest. The crowd was incredibly dense, making it hard to move or eat. While the waiter kindly removed the fish from my bill, the experience left me feeling disappointed and hungry. I wasn't able to order anything else after the long wait, and my party had already finished their meals. Although the singer and ambiance were exceptional, the hair incident and the overcrowding significantly impacted my overall experience.

We had a reservation but still had to wait 25 minutes for a table. Place was extremely packed. But had a nice atmosphere. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Pasta is house made, was very good. The oil they put out with the bread was delicious couldn't get enough of it. Enjoyed having pasta Alla Ruota made in front of us. Great bottle prices for their house wines. All the food came out hot which is rare when eating with a group Everyone enjoyed their meal. Took a long time to order though. For drinks and for food. Then took even longer for food to come out. We were there for 3 hours and all we ordered was wine and one entre each. Server was alittle busy with the upselling but I guess that's part of the biz. They have gift shop and delhi as well. Over all was good. Would deff come back during off season so hopefully less busy.

Amazing food with a HUGE selection to choose from. The ambiance is awesome and even on chilly nights the restaurant goes all out to make sure the outdoor seating is warm. It did take a little while for us (a party of 10, with a reservation) to be seated. Original reservation was for 8:00, the restaurant texted us and asked if we could move it to 8:30, and we weren’t actually sat until shortly after 9. Otherwise, service was great, and they seated us in the private room which was awesome.

Lunch with a friend brought us to meet up at La Trattoria. The waitress was prompt with water, bread & pesto dipping sauce. We were in no rush & the outside patio was breezy & very comfortable with view of the marina. I had a salad with add on of grilled dolphin. Portion was very small considering the $21 price point. My BFF had a salad & side of vegetables. Nice portion of veggies, but her salad was also small. Service was average. I’m a regular to this establishment but last week got literally attacked by black ravens 🐦‍⬛ flying around the entrance of the market. Straight out of Hitchcock’s birds 🦅 movie. Must have a nest close by, but other patrons were also being targeted by the birds. Carmín should be attending to this!

Especially the pasta were great. a little expensive but the quality is very good. I especially liked the alfredo pasta. When you choose a full plate, there is no need for app. We likes house wines. 😍Definitely recommend for Italian cuisine.

We had a blast at this quiet but busy italian spot. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The service was quick but polite. The food was amazing 👏. We had date night on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised by the availability of a table. We will be back. The food was top notch. 👌

Ordered the Zuppa De Pesce and it was amazing. TBH….when I ordered it, I had no idea it was a soup 🤷🏻‍♂️ Crème puff pastry was to die for. Sat outside, which was ok, but the inside looked very nice. Everyone in our group loved their food. Highly recommend.

Our first time here after hearing so many good things about Carmine's! It's a beautiful, elegant and romantic restaurant perfect for date night. The food is outstanding, the wine list extensive, and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner. White tablecloth experience the whole way and it is such a gorgeous place! Hubby had crusted Chilean sea bass and I had the most mouth watering lobster ravioli. Desserts are also phenomenal! Check them out, you won't be disappointed. We will definitely return to check out some of their other options.

We like to go to Carmine's for Sunday brunch. It's very nice sitting outside when the weather is nice. The food is great and the service is usually very good. We had bad service once but that waiter didn't last. On our last visit, I had the Salmon Benedict and she had Gorgonzola Salad with Blackened Shrimp. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The all-you-can-drink mimosas are a good deal. After we eat, we always go inside to the deli to pick up some stuff to take home.

Carmines has been around for a long time. It has always been 1 of my favorite restaurants. I must say, it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was nice. The only complaint I have is if you're sitting outdoors, there isn't any music to enjoy while having your dinner. We ate here on a Thursday night, and it was a beautiful night, but no music.

American restaurant
At Café Chardonnay, diners are treated to a modern American menu consisting of innovative dishes and a vast wine list. The restaurant is praised for its incredible cuisine, terrific service, and outstanding wine list. Chardonnay is an excellent place to enjoy contemporary American fare with lively artwork and flowery compositions setting the tone.
Busy night and service was great! We picked the perfect place to celebrate Mother's Day! Lobster & Scallops was delicious! My husband had the Short Rib he was was tender & fabulous!

Absolutely STUNNING restaurant, perfect for a romantic date night or anniversary celebration. 😍 The lighting is dim, very romantic ambiance. Lighting fixtures and other decor is just gorgeous. Our food was out of this world amazing and our server was very knowledgeable. This restaurant has been around for quite some time, under the same ownership and many of the staff members have been there for an extended period of time also. That tells me a lot about the owners and how they run their business and care for their staff. I have to also mention that the wine list is probably the most expansive I've ever seen at a single restaurant and our server was able to help us find a couple of new favorites. All in all, super happy with our choice to dine here for date night and we will definitely return again and again. Can't go wrong with an amazing atmosphere, stellar service and delicious food. Final note - the prices aren't cheap and I wouldn't expect them to be at a beautiful place like this. You get what you pay for and at Cafe Chardonnay, it's well worth it! 😉

Seriously considered going for a COVID test after the meal because the food was so bland and tasteless. 2 stars only because of the bread & baba ganoush and pretty atmosphere outside with the string lights. Got the grouper special ($48) which was supposed to be served over a lobster risotto- the risotto can only be described as rice mush with peas and a few pink specks that I think were supposed to represent the lobster. Grouper serving was thin and flavorless and would not be able to differentiate between any other cheap white fish. Also got the lobster and scallop entree ($48) that was supposed to be served with a truffle Parmesan cream sauce- came with half a lobster tail and 3 scallops literally floating in a bowl of tasteless cream sauce, fettuccine and peas. Between 2 of us we couldn’t get down more than a few bites because it was so rich and I’m pretty sure was just straight cream. We did mention to the server that we were unimpressed to which she replied that she was sorry we didn’t enjoy it and that most people like those dishes. The manager came over to check on things after we had paid and were getting ready to leave. We told her we were unimpressed and the food was tasteless, not as described, and certainly not what you’d expect at a restaurant with $30+ entrees (most were $40s-$50s). She apologized and said we should have mentioned it to the server so they could have given us something different. We had mentioned it to the server, and we weren’t expecting a discount, meal replacement, or anything for free, just hoping to provide some constructive feedback, and her response was as noted above. The manager’s response to the lack of any hint of truffle in the lobster dish was that it’s a very light and delicate flavor that you might not notice(!!!). The restaurant has been around for 30 years and has a good reputation, but I believe they got a new chef within the last year so maybe that explains things.

Cafe Chardonnay is a staple in the Gardens area for as long as I can remember. It always feels like service and quality of food is at the forefront. There is a consistency of genuine enthusiasm at the front door to a greeting of familiarity by the manager, Scott, and seasoned server vet Mike (going on 37 years)! This evening I went with one of my comfort favorites, glazed duck with a blackberry gastrique. Other guests at my table cleaned their plates of the Grouper with lobster and corn risotto special. This is service!

Cafe Chardonnay made our anniversary so special. I made the reservation on open table and put a note it was our anniversary, they had the table decorated when we got there! Our waiters name was Mike and he was so sweet. The entire wait staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The only annoying part was the rude rich man at the table next to us loudly complaing to the manager and staff about everything so he could obviously get his meal for free. Absolutely none of his points were valid and I would highly recommend this restaurant and our waiter Mike! Oh and we got the yellowtail snapper and braised beef, both amazing. Drinks were ice cold and Mike even brought us an anniversary dessert!

From the moment I arrived with my wife. I could tell this was a well run restaurant. The attention to detail was obvious. The grilled Spanish octopus and calamari appetizer was delicious. The elk chop was incredible and I highly recommend. It does not have a gamely flavor and is very lean.If looking for something different the elk chop is the way to go. You do not normally see this on south Florida menus. Great dining experience!

This was our first visit. Great atmosphere and ambiance. Our waiter, John, was attentive, very knowledgeable, and friendly. They have great options throughout the menus from cocktails to wine selection to desserts. We shared the buratta appetizer which was nice and light. For dinner I had the skirt steak special. The meat was very tender and delicious. We took dessert home because we were so stuffed but we’re too excited not to try something from the extensive dessert menu. All of which is made from scratch in house. All in all we will definitely be returning!

If I could give Cafe Chardonnay 6 stars, I would. This restaurant makes our top 5 favorite restaurants. Walking up to the restaurant is beautiful with a lot of greenery and white lights; it does not look like a "plaza restaurant", it's even more gorgeous inside. We sat upstairs next to the ledge and it gave us great views of the entire restaurant. Everything is 5 stars, the menu, the staff, the food, the drinks, the desserts. I had an old fashioned and my date had Caymus by the glass, what a treat! They know how to make a proper old fashioned. We had the roasted cauliflower for an app. I had the filet with potato gratin and my date had the veal chop and we ordered a side of brussel sprouts. For dessert, you can pick a sample of 3 of their desserts so really indulged and each ordered a sample of 3 so we could taste 6 of their desserts. Jaiden was our server, he was excellent - very knowledgeable about the menu and old fashioned cocktails. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Highly recommend for dates and celebrations.

My husband and I LOVE Cafe Chardonnay. We came to this restaurant for our first dating anniversary and we liked it so much that it became a tradition. We have been consistently coming back every year since then. We even came the day we got married (during Covid craziness in July 2020) and the service was top notch. They made our day very special despite the restrictions at the time.

This beautiful covern situated next to a Publix is a hidden gem. The restaurant really captures the magical feeling of a french cafe, and it was a great way to celebrate my moms birthday. Everything was delicious and the portions were amazing and the drinks were also great. Ten out of ten would go again.🥂🍾

Absolutely amazing place! Highly recommend it. Atmosphere was excellent. Service, top notch. The warm bread with the home made paste (I think with garlic, olive oil and eggplant was delicious. Oh, get the short ribs. You’ll thank me later!

Seafood restaurant
Cool'A Fishbar is a charming and inviting grill plating area-inspired eatery that specializes in sourcing seafood dishes from the local region. With a focus on quality, this restaurant has built a reputation for serving the freshest seafood possible. Their menu offers an array of delectable options, such as pan-roasted mussels with dijon andouille sauce, as well as maple mustard-glazed salmon paired with coconut-infused basmati rice.
Their maple mustard grilled salmon is so perfect, it's all I crave now. Love their side salad and asparagus is tender, silky and buttery. The staff is very professional, friendly, informative and kind. I plan to take my mother here for dinner very soon, I just wish their hours weren't limited to only dinner. Would love to come for lunch.

We had 20 people for a birthday dinner..adults and children...made reservations on day before. We ordered several different meals and all were delicious. Highly recommend the mac-nut yellow tail snapper and make sure you try the potatoes ! We also enjoyed the happy hour drinks. Jennifer was our server and was a true delight.She made us feel very welcome .. got all the orders right and all food was hot when delivered ! Would recommend this place to everyone . We will make this a must stop when we are in the area again.

I was meeting a group of friends at Cool’a Fishbar for dinner tonight. Service and food was good. Towards the end of dinner, a girl came up behind me, tapped me on the shoulder and said, “I don’t have money, I am hungry. Can I have your food?” The restaurant manager came up behind us and quickly leaned in and asked if I was “OK” with that? I was caught off guard and felt pressured. Being human and having empathy for the girl, I handed her my doggy bag. I’m disappointed at Vincent, the restaurant manager for not regulating the restaurant and monitoring loiterers interrupting paid customers while dining. We paid for a dining experience and especially in this inflated economic situation, everybody works hard for their earnings. This whole situation made all 9 of us feel uncomfortable. Please have a better handle with the restaurant and ensure your paid customers can enjoy their dining experience. Not sure if I will return to dine in with friends again.

This place was en excellent recommendation from some locals. Tammy the bartender was awesome. I enjoyed the Mac-crusted yellowtail snapper. First time having this type of fish. The house potatoes were also amazing. This place was spot on for everything. The curry sauce was yummy.

Very good. Food was excellent and the servers and management there are very friendly and accommodating. Clean, fresh, and cozy inside. It is pricey, but it's south Florida and what isn't pricey in south Florida? A great choice for upper scale casual dining.

My husband and I visited here tonight while on vacation. We were very impressed with the delicious food and atmosphere but the service was really amazing. All of the staff there from when we entered to when we left were very welcoming. Our server was Sherri and her personality and attentive service was wonderful. We eat out at a lot of restaurants and experience all types of service but this restaurant was above and beyond one of the best we have been to in a long time, they really made us happy to be there. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant and I have already recommended it to my family.

The service here was excellent. Atmosphere is very inviting. We’ve been here 4-5 times during the past few years. I gave it a 3 because the coconut shrimp was far from recommendable. Lots of dry tasteless bread on small shrimp. The asparagus was very good though. We’ll be back someday anyway.

As much as we enjoyed the service, the space and the conch appetizer, the main course let us down in the most unhealthy way. My husband ordered fish, salad and Cool'A loaded baked potato. Thankfully I opted for rice and string beans. The fish looked rubbery and old, the salad was over dressed and not rinsed thoroughly, I took a bite, and, the highly touted over the top baked potato, with many potentially spoiled ingredients, managed to give my husband a severe case of food poisoning. He was violently ill for over 24hrs! As a concerned consumer, I called the restaurant to let them know. I spoke with the manager on duty, I believe his name was Steve. Although kind, he didn't seem very interested. I made it clear, I wasn't calling for a refund. I wanted them to know about the food poisoning in case others had experienced something similar. He mentioned he would share the information with the GM later that evening and, I should expect a call. Sadly, we received no calls from the restaurant. A bad food experience could have been forgiven simply by taking a moment to show some compassion. Good customer service goes along way with most consumers. Maybe next time your GM will take a thoughtful moment and pick up the phone!

The food far exceeded our expectations. Great seafood for a reasonable price. Both the Grouper and Salmon were good and cooked perfectly. The sides, asparagus and potatoe souffle were delicious. Worth a try and will visit again.

This was at least our third time eating here during our visits to the area, but it may be my favorite restaurant in town. Conch fritters were a great start to the meal. Our server was Ressa, and she was great. Entree portions are good. The atmosphere is just great for a nice, but not stuffy dinner. We had reservations.

It was an amazing, perfect experience. From the minute we walked in the door, we felt so welcomed. The atmosphere is so beautiful, so pleasant, just perfect. Vince, the manager walked us to a very lovely booth. Great atmosphere - quiet enough to have wonderful conversation, but yet lively enough that you know you are out and about with others and having lots of fun. Cocktails were generous and very tasty. We started with a large order of the conch fritter appetizer which was the perfect amount for the three of us. I had the maple crusted salmon with a side of asparagus and their extremely tasty coleslaw. My boyfriend had the house special which was a delicious Covina that night. He loved it. Our cousin ordered the steak tidbits with the coconut shrimp. She devoured as much as she could, and still had enough to take home. Portions are very generous. It was just so perfect. We were made to feel so comfortable and it was just such an enjoyable, lovely evening and an enjoyable lovely meal. I couldn’t ask for anything nicer than Cool’a Fish Bar. Vince, the manager sure knows how to run a spectacular restaurant. Of all the restaurants in South Florida, I think Cool’a Fish Bar is my very, very favorite. Thank you so much for a delightful evening! A+++ Sent from my iPhone
