Amenda the manager is our favorite. She is always so full of life with a beautiful smile, and eager to take care of her guest. What a great addition they made by bringing her on board. We enjoy the relaxing scene here where you can go outside and have a cigar with your cocktail. We've always enjoy this place but get a little turned off with a lot of the gas that show up wearing flip-flops and T-shirts is if we are. We're at a Holiday Inn on Galveston Island. read more

Dreaming of HMF now on my flight back to NYC... The ambience of the iconic hotel bar at the Breakers is truly unique, one that cannot be replicated. A relic from the gilded age; precisely what I come to Palm Beach to experience. Beautiful people with their beautiful problems drinking beautiful cocktails and indulging in beautiful dishes. I simply cannot imagine coming here and having a bad time. I'm actually convinced that if you come here, drink, dine, chat and depart with intentions to leave a 1-star review that you brought a nasty vibe to the bar and sullied your own experience. On my fifth, and most recent visit, I had the best burrata of my life (made in-house, of course) and enjoyed three espresso martinis. The service was fabulous as always. Shout out to Denise! I'm apprehensive to wax poetic about HMF because it actually is my favorite place. But let's be real, it's the Breakers - it's not like lauding the hotel bar with praise is reinventing the wheel either. So I'll cut myself off here - it's not a "to do," it's a must. Dress nicely, be normal, and find a seat at the bar on the early side of the evening - the place fills up. read more

HMF is actually a bar inside The Breakers. Great place to meet with your friends and have a few cocktails. They have a full bar, wine list as well as a cigar menu. You can purchase a cigar here and walk outside onto the courtyard to smoke it. Many do. Great place to check out and hang out whilst at The Breakers. read more

Very disappointing experience. Came here for a special occasion and we wanted to pick out an amazing bottle of wine. We talked to the hostess and they said they would send out the master sommelier to our table and that one of them was in the restaurant tonight. When the waitress seated us we also asked her and she said she would send him over. At this point we were very excited. When the gentleman arrived he suggested a bottle and it was brought to our table. When we asked him a question related to his title, he said that he is not a somm at all, and that he just works there. We felt duped and taken for fools. The one star is for the nice ambiance and the decent pinot noir read more

Great food, great drinks, beautiful property. This restaurant is good for a group date night. We were a party of four on a Saturday night, no reservations but were able to get seated in under 15 minutes. We ordered many dishes, however my favorite by far was the Warm Brussels Sprout Caesar (10/10). Here are a few other items I'd recommend: Chinese Shrimp Fried Rice Wagyu Sliders Dumplings Hamachi And.... the chocolate chip cookie sundae!! Definitely will return. FYI: it's pretty dark inside. read more

Very disappointed in almost all drinks; everything is very strong alcohol with not a lot of care to taste and mixology. The apps were quite good read more

The drinks were great and so was the cookie skillet. The staff was nice. The inside is beautiful. Great place to come for a drink!

Really great food and atmosphere. Later in the evening, they play the music so loud, you really can't carry on a conversation without yelling. I like it better when they play jazz or something more suitable for the 1940'2 like decor earlier in the evening. The food was incredible but it came out kinda cold. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be that way or not. The service was unfriendly. We found out when the bill came they include the tip, so no wonder such unfriendly service, they aren't trying to impress for a tip or anything. The hostess was very welcoming. however. For the prices they charge, I want better service, but the Breakers is a cool spot and HMF is a swanky lounge with tasty food. The chicken wraps are amazing! And the Korean ribs also good. I wanted them hot though and they were lukewarm. read more

This hotel is stunning and the restaurant does not disappoint. We ordered some sushi, the Brussels Sprout salad, short rib and churrasco. I wouldn't say its the best food but its very good. The service was amazing and the hazelnut tart is delicious and gluten free. Drinks are also really good just ask for them to not have too much ice otherwise its just ice and a sip of cocktail. read more

Came here with friends for a drink. The espresso martini was amazing! We loved the ambiance and music playing. It's very dark and intimate. Since we came on a Saturday night, there was a 30 minute wait for a table so we just headed up to the bar where a few seats opened up. The interior decor is so tasteful. The bartenders were absolutely divine and so attentive. We are so happy we chose this place to grab cocktails. Everyone is very lively and enjoying themselves. Highly recommend! read more

This review is for the Holiday Tea at the Breakers. When we'd first arrived there were only a few tables occupied but by the time we left out was pretty full. The venue is really beautiful. There were 5 of us and we were seated at a table with low seating... comfortable yet not quite. There are several different types of tea and I opted for the tropical green which has hints of pineapple. It was very good. The tea sandwiches arrive next and there is enough that we can each sample one. They are very small. There is an egg salad, a mango chicken, a lobster? Salad, and a vegetable. They were good but we were starving after devouring it. We asked our server if we could get more and she explained there'd be an upcharge which is understandable. One friend asked if she could skip the scone and dessert and get a few more sandwiches. The server said she would check. The next thing you know another platter of sandwiches arrived with the same fare but there were a few more chicken and vegetable tea sandwiches. The next course is the scones and they truly stole the show with Devonshire cream on the side (albeit a very minimal amount) and 3 different preserves. We were never explained as to what flavor they were. Next up comes a tray of desserts which were very disappointing except for the chocolate covered strawberries which were delicious. The macarons and other unknown "goodies" were dry, bland, and apparently not the forte of the kitchen. Overall for $75 it was a forgettable experience. Our sever who was super friendly at first seemed to disappear. I wish she took the time to explain what was what. I knew going in that Hey, It's the Breakers and all frou frou and all and I didn't have a problem with forking over the money. We were charged an extra $115 for the extra sandwiches which the server never came back to explain to us. And she got a 20 per cent tip which is automatically added. It's not something I would ever do again. read more

HMF at The Breakers - Tapas Bars Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

Always wanted to come and see this old palm beach hotel. Rooms start at over $1000 a night so I know I'm not staying here, even on a splurge. There are a number of restaurants and for dinner, HMF, which is sort of their lobby bar, is the least expensive option. Everything about the hotel is incredible from just pulling up to it, to its lobby, to the beach area. All just stunning. Valet parking costs $35, but as long as you eat or drink something you can get your ticket validated and park free. HMF isn't a typical lobby bar. It's more of a restaurant, I guess they're just more open to you sitting at a table and only having drinks. At $19 per drink, I don't blame them. Even though this is their inexpensive eating option, it's quite expensive. The food is served as small, appetizer sized portions that are meant to be shared. But the small portions are still priced about $30 per plate. And oddly, it's really not great food. I mean, it's above average bar type food....Sliders, some basic sushi, pot stickers, etc. all just ok. I mean good, just nothing special. You are really there and paying for the experience of being at the Breakers Hotel. Is it worth it? Well, I guess once. They have lunch places by their pools that might possibly be slightly less expensive. That could be worth a look. HMF is mainly for the experience, not the food. read more

We were looking forward to a holiday tea at the Breakers. The whole setup starting with the tea pots was cheap looking. The sandwiches were just one bite appetizers. Not savory, not plentiful and no choices, like a vegetarian option. The scones were one per person and not baked to perfection. The teas were good but there were some mistakes made in the choice of teas and many delays. At some point we had no plates for the scones and had to use saucers. The polite young lady bringing us the meal had very poor training. We decided to call the Manager on duty and skip the deserts and further aggravation. Price per person: 120$. The Manager waived our 500$ tab and was gracious about it. However, beware, they have no clue how to serve a holiday tea or any afternoon tea for that matter. The food was good enough for a B restaurant at a Breakers price. Very disappointing. read more

Perfect spot for a night cap. It kind of resembles the lobby of a casino which isn't a bad thing. They were out of my favorite nightcap Oban. No problem I found something else without an issue. This is a happening place so if you are looking for a quiet time don't come. It is lively and that adds to the fun of it. I think you can also get some small bites as well. We didn't eat but had a drink and enjoyed ourselves. They have a dj playing some light music and there are enough seats where you usually don't have to wait too long. Check it out! read more

Absolutely love it here. Great vibes, nice music. Perfect for a date night or a gathering of girlfriends on a Friday night. Everything on the menu is a smaller dish/tapas style.

Never thought I'd say this but HMF at The Breakers has failed to live up to their high standards. Their prices are one tHing but when the servers ask you one after the other five times if you're finished with your meal when your cutlery clearly indicates you aren't ...well that says it all!! They obviously are trying to get you in and out so that they can get their 20% tip on each check making you wonder whether they deserve anything at all. There was so much wrong with the way our table was treated that I don't even have enough room to write it all down here. Just felt like HMF has turned into a tourist trap that should be avoided at all cost! There are so many great restaurants in Palm Beach to go to. Aside from the beautiful decor at The Breakers Hotel ...I don't see any reason to go back to HMF. read more

HMF absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was amazing, my favorite actually ended up being the Hong Kong dumplings but the Korean short rib was a close second. The drinks were equally delicious and our server was so lovely. We will definitely be back. read more

Come for the ambiance, stay for the ambiance. The restaurant is splayed out lounge-style with a prominent bar anchoring the back and a massive wine display anchoring one side. Waitresses don black dresses and pearl necklaces, the lighting is moody, and the music gives life to an earlier era. Spiced cashews are on-the-house and seem to come straight from the oven. They're warm and fragrant with notes of cinnamon and curry. The food is tapas-style - read: small portions, large price tag, but let's not forget, you're at the Breakers! The "Nonna's Meatball and Gravy," true to its name, comprised of one huge meatball paired with tomato "gravy" and grilled ciabatta drizzled in smoky olive oil. The "Orecchiette" was favorably paired with duck sausage and mushrooms but unfortunately drowning in a heavily salted sauce. Thoughtfully, you can order wine by the half glass. As for cocktails, "The Floozy" (tequila, ginger, cucumber, jalapeño, lime) was sublime. Would definitely recommend HMF for a posh evening on the town. read more

This is not for the faint of heart or those looking to save cents. With that said, the place is amazing. The ambiance, decor architecture everything about the facilities are high end with great taste. The food is quick, tasteful and served beautifully. The drinks and cocktails are from traditional to creative. Great choice of beer and wine. If trying to keep it low you will land at $30 easily. For me to be satisfied I got to $50. But we'll worth it. The best part is the staff. All pros. From young team at valet they behave with such experience professionalism. Bartenders wait staff and hostesses are upscale and happy to be part or a great experience. Even chance I can I do enjoy a meal drinks or apps. Orrrr all of the above ;) read more

HMF at The Breakers - Great place architecture and service from arrival to departure - Tapas Bars Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

Underwhelming. Located at the beautiful Breakers hotel, the lounge is chic and well decorated. The service is phenomenal. The menu is an array of international options with a focus on on sushi. The plates are all small, tapas style. We ordered nearly one of everything. The plates are generally enough for 3-4 people to have a bite or two and cost between $20-$30 a plate. Very high price. As for actual dishes - EVERYTHING was EXTREMELY over salted. We even had to send the Warm Brussels Caesar back because it was inedible with how much salt was in it. The Churrasco with Chimichurri was tasty - not outstanding. The Chimichurri was not traditional - it was blended/pureed, not chopped or mashed, and had too much basil and mint, not enough pepper or cilantro. Ordered shishito peppers which never arrived. Our favorite item was the mushroom dumpling - fresh soft. Beautiful texture and delicate flavor. The only item I would reccomend. We also enjoyed the chopped salad, which was larger bits of green beans, peas, carrots, and other seasonal vegetables in a light salty sauce. Very fresh and nice. The Boar Empenadas were unremarkable. Good flavor but not memorable. Prosciutto was fine. Crab dip was too rich, no crab chunks, just thin unflavored stands. Greek spiced sliders were oversalted and not tasty. Chicken lettuce wraps were fine. The shrimp pad thai was a large portion. Several of us noted it tasted identical to the pad thai at the Asian fast food place Pei Wei. Burrata with tomato was extremely over salted. The burrata itself was dry and chewy, not fresh and creamy. I could not eat it with the halved cherry tomatoes as at this point the amount of sodium was dehydrating me. Pilsner was $9, cocktails $17. The watermelon martini was really good. The blueberry pisco cocktail was also good. Sushi was good and fresh, but unbalanced. Many roles were overpowered by an excess of avocado. The baked Alaska tasted of kerosene. Would not recommend. Food came too quickly. We were overwhelmed by the speed. Waitress did not seem to communicate with the kitchen. I felt like a factory farm cow being forced to eat from a trough so that the waitress could set down the plates. Stressful. Also was overcharged on our bill which exceeded $700. Were charged for duplicates or items that never arrived. When they fixed the bill it was over $100 less than they immediately charged. read more

You do not need to be staying at The Breakers to visit this place. All the restaurants are open to the public. I can't speak to the food because although we stopped in here, we just had drinks. The place is absolutely breathtaking as all the restaurants are at The Breakers. The chandeliers in particular are stunning. The staff are great. Anyone who knows The Breakers knows this is about as upscale as it gets but one thing I can say is that neither HMF nor any of the restaurants at The Breakers for that matter, are aloof. The staff are warm and friendly and although one might be a bit awestruck about being here (how can one NOT be?) it is relaxing. The staff make it so. So many upscale places have an attitude and/or can be intimidating but nowhere at The Breakers have I ever found that. So yes, I'd recommend them. I'd recommend every restaurant here because they are all great. The ones I know best are "The Circle" and "The Italian Restaurant". HMF I was only at once but my time there was thoroughly enjoyable and I'm sure yours will be too. read more

BREAKERS IS SPECTACULAR and the HMF restaurant can't be beat both for its physicality and for food & service. Four of us had dinner last night and, as in the past, we had a half dozen small plates. I asked our server to be sure there was enough on each plate for the four of us and she did. Food was great. It's the kind of place where you can actually ask your server to bring dinner and not bother to order as everything is great. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Palm Beach and we've been living here for about 40 year read more

Be forewarned of the shady bartenders who don't give you an itemized bill and automatically charge gratuity. Unethical and not appreciated.

If you want to be fancy for the night HMF is a must stop. Located at The Breakers this was a great stop for a drink with friends. It's fancy with a lounge feel. The service was exceptional; our drinks came out promptly, she remembered our orders and was kind. My drink was very tasty. I got the Blueberry Bootlegger. Everything was so well executed. All were happy with there drink choices. With a $20 price tag per drink you expect a lot, they delivered an amazing cocktail. Sometimes paying more for a drink really is worth it. The hotel is absolutely stunning. Make sure to walk around, gaze at the high ceilings, ocean views and beautiful grounds. read more

it's unfortunate I have to even give them one star. The food was so-so and the service horrendous. We were a party of seven. Our food came out intermittently. First two were served, then one, then another and finally the last three. Over twenty minutes went by before all of us had our food. We complained to the waitress and hostess and their excuse was, "They forgot to give special instructions to the kitchen." on top of that the tip was included in the bill. I'm not sure of the percentage but more than 1% was too much. The Breakers is known for elegance and top notch service. The HMF did not live up to that reputation! read more

3 stars+ based entirely on ambiance. This place is stunning. 100ft painted ceilings, decadent decor and a real sense of class. Here's what they need: Older, better, more professional bartenders. The bartenders here are kids who look like they belong working weddings and birthdays. No offense to them, they just are not a great fit for this establishment.. hire a few veteran Barmen who wear jackets and make martinis with style. Get a team in place that does this place justice. HMF has all the potential to be the best bar in palm beach, it's certainly one of, if not the most beautiful. The cocktails are just ok and the food is good. Wines by the glass are solid as expected, just please get some professionally behind that bar that understand exactly what they are working with. read more

A visit to HMF at The Breakers resort is like a trip back in time. Ignore the oafish guests dressed in tank tops and shorts, and you can easily imagine that you've been transported back to the Roaring Twenties, watching Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald share stories in high-backed chairs by the fireplace, or lean across the bar with martinis in their hands. HMF takes its name from Henry Morrison Flagler, the railroad and oil magnate who founded the Breakers in 1896. The current building, a spectacular, 550-room oceanfront palace opened in 1926, is an American architectural treasure, with ornate hallways and a jaw-dropping lobby modeled after Rome's Villa Medici. The HMF restaurant and social club occupies what may be the grandest room of all -- a dramatic salon with high ceilings, rich wood accents and chandeliers that look like they've descended from heaven. You don't have to be a guest at The Breakers to visit HMF -- I came over from West Palm Beach with some colleagues for drinks and appetizers. The cocktail menu is extensive. I sipped a refreshing Flagler Negroni while diving into a delicious HMF sushi roll, filled with Tempura Shrimp, Cucumber and Avocado. But whatever you order, be sure to take time afterward to wander the halls of this fabulous hotel, then duck out to the terrace to watch the surf crash over the boulders below. No matter what kind of car you arrive in, or how much money you have in your pocket, this place will make you feel like one of the elite, and give you a taste of life in the top 1%. And even though the dress code is all over the place, there's no feeling in the world like ordering a cocktail at HMF dressed to the nines. So pull out a sportcoat or suit, head over to Florida's classiest hotel, and dive in. Pinkies up! read more
