Food subpar. Mashed potatoes on shrimp tacos. Why???? Shrimp Francese, shrimp were fried but soft and soggy. Clam chowder had no clams, all potatoes and thick like glue. Could wallpaper the walls with it. Won't be back. French fries were good. Offered a complementary dessert by the waiter who was good. read more

If you love seafood this is the spot for you. Downtown Delray has become a nice walkable area with good restaurants, and I'm so glad I discovered this hidden Gem. Their staff is so friendly, the decor is nautical without being overly cheesy, and you've got to try the mussels (from Prince Edward Island), the lobster, the risotto, and the truffle fries. read more

The staff is really friendly. Our server Karlie was really friendly and was amazing! The place is nice and clean and well organized. They started by bring us French fries instead of bread and butter .‍ Great marketing! My wife order the Cobb salad with Seared tuna. It was amazing and it was enough for 2 people. I ordered the Mussels with Linguine. The mussels were medium to large with at least 50 mussels. This was amazing and enough for 2 people. This is a sure winner. The only negative is finding parking. read more

We have walked by this restaurant for years and my wife always commented what a cute name, but we always forgot to stop in. Today we made the right choice and went there for lunch. Right from the get go our waiter, Anthony, was a rockstar. He was personable and offered some great suggestions. We started by spitting the raw Ahi tuna burger, which was absolutely delicious. We also split their seafood salad and it was also stellar. Their key lime pie is homemade and was also tasty. read more

Before Downtown was even half of what it I is today, Mussel Beach established itself as the seafood port of Atlantic. I've probably walked and driven by the restaurant a thousand times, never thinking to go in given that mussels really aren't my thing. But alas, the time has come! Full disclaimer, I didn't try the mussels. With that being said, what I did have was of the highest of quality. The tuna tacos are an absolute hit, and for good reason. Wonton shell tacos, Asian slaw, and a deep fried avocado all sitting on the tuna that taste like it was in the ocean 15 minutes ago. Also had the stuffed shrimp....shrimp....stuffed with crab. What more needs to be said? Fresh seafood, great service, in a laid back setting. Mussel beach has stood the test of time in the ever evolving downtown Delray Beach for the better part of almost decade, and it is easy to see why. read more

This is such an adorable place. The inside is HUGE and decorated very nicely. The service was fantastic because he was very attentive and quick. There were so many options for great seafood, so it was hard to choose. Each of us tried a different type of soup (clam chowder, lobster bisque, French onion), and I'd have to say the lobster was the best out of all. The food portions were huge! The main dishes we each picked were delicious. read more

Great food and great service. We enjoyed our time here. Will be making plans with family to come back.

Coming from Rhode Island where seafood is the name of the game, we were very impressed by this spot. Low-key environment with friendly staff. They don't take reservations (at least for 2). Outdoor seating looked nice but it was full so we sat at the bar which had a very comfortable countertop and seats. If you're short like me (5'2"), you won't be dangling. We were looking at 4 dishes and asked if it was too much. Appreciated the bartender being honest with us because portions are sizable; not quite family size but it won't leave you hungry. We ordered: Grilled Octopus (Appetizer) was my favorite. Normally not a fan of white beans but the sauce packed a punch (think creamy) but didn't overpower the octopus, which was cooked just right. Not too chewy. Clam Casino (Appetizer) had about 12 pieces. You definitely taste the breadcrumb and toppings more than the clam but that's what you should expect for this dish. Seafood Linguine (Main) had so much seafood we had to go digging for the pasta! A beautiful display, a sauce that keeps you slurping (I'm not sure but it tasted like shrimp head sauce was part of it - yum!!). Nothing was over cooked and I rarely see such plump mussels at a restaurant. Definitely revisiting the next time we are in town! read more

It all was amazing, food, service all great best mussels I've had in a very long time. The tuna stack was outstanding. Looking forward to coming back read more

Went for lunch on a Wednesday. It was not overly crowded but nearly full. We ordered muscles (of course!) with linguine and the white wine sauce. They were delicious...we would have love to have like a trio option to try different sauces without getting an entire pound at a time. IJS. We also had the fried lobster tails. Y'all, the risotto that came with this was fantastic! I wanted to just order an extra side of it. It also came with steamed spinach that was ok. My friend got the fried cod sandwich wi the sweet potato fries and said it was yummy. It's got cool ocean-like artwork all around. Has a bar feel with being super casual. read more

This place wasn't bad but it wasn't that good. The hostess was very nice! We got free truffle fries and I usually don't like those but it was good . I ordered mussels with white wine sauce & garlic. It was average not saucy enough for me. The clams casino were different over breaded it was ehhh. My husband and his friend did enjoy the clam chowder so that's a plus. My friend's girlfriend had a crab cake, and lobster roll which she enjoyed. My friend had salmon on top of pasta. He enjoyed the salmon but not the pasta. So like i said it wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite restaurant I've been to in delray and that's ok. read more

Came here for lunch on Saturday right after they opened at noon and was floored by the food. Read a lot of reviews about how good their seafood is and I just had to try it. I'm definitely a shellfish lover so I wanted to try their famous mussels. Our server/bartender was very nice and since we were the only people dining in right after they opened, he was able to go over the menu with us. I started with a clam chowder and it was amazing. More clams than soup which is super rare. It was nice and thick, full of flavor. There are so many options for mussels but the prosciutto caught my eye. It came in a cute pot and it's a hefty portion. For me, it was two meals portion. It comes with 2 pieces of bread. The mussels were fresh and delicious, bathed in garlic white wine. It had lots of crispy prosciutto mixed in and then topped with melted parmesean cheese. Make sure you dip the bread in the broth. You can also get a side of linguine but I was so full I couldn't eat anymore. I saved all the broth and brought it home to toss pasta in the next day and man... It was even better! Don't waste the broth. read more

Food was absolutely outstanding. Service was over the top Ambiance was a little loud, so I turned my hearing aids off. The executive head CHEF DAVE, is very creative and oversees the entire kitchen team. Then he checks out all the servers and the bar area before heading back to the kitchen. Karli was our waitress and she herself handled all 7 of us with ease. She is quite the character, joking and taking care of everyone and everything. This place is exceptional for everything ‼ read more

Food absolutely great but you know what was better the service!! After driving an hr to get to a certain 'beauty'' store for I thought I could exchange smthg to only be informed "no sorry w/out proof of purchase, no can do"! I looked up the return policy b4 driving up here but whatever! Our late lunch/early dinner made up for it especially our great amazing server named Karli!! She made us so comfortable & was so attentive. I will definitely drive an hr just to come see her again! Thank you Karli ur awesome! read more

Thank you again Yelp! We stopped by early in the afternoon, and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered the calamari, and for dinner, the charred octopus and seafood linguine. While we waited for our appetizer and dinner, our waitress gave us a complimentary taste of the truffle fries, which were great. Regarding the food we ordered, everything was excellent. The calamari was fresh and slightly battered. The octopus was perfectly grilled, and the bean sauce that came with it were delicious. The seafood linguine was one of the best I had so far. The sauce was delicious. I wish I had some bread to soak all of it, but the portions were so generous that we barely finished all of our food and had to skip dessert. On top of the great food, the facilities were clean and plenty of space for large groups. The best part of our experience was the waitress. She was very nice and took the time to explain in detail the menu options, provided good recommendations, and kept checking on us even when the place started to get busy. Will definitely go back. read more

Met my girlfriend at this place the other day. It was our first time visit. There's an option to sit outside as well but that time at 1:30 pm inside was perfect. I had the strawberry vodka cocktail and Kelly had the Lychee Martini. We are both happy with our drinks and we actually had another one and we switched types of cocktails Mussels are delicious And definitely Seared tuna with risotto are to die for! The server was on point describing the menu! Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the stuffed shrimp with lobster and crab meat. I should have sent it back after the 1st bite. Frozen shrimp, no lobster or crab meat, just bread filling. Tasteless, over cooked shrimp in it's defrosted juices. My husband ordered tuna burger with wasabi slaw. Spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. A totally bad experience read more

So glad we finally decide to stop in here. We have walked by this restaurant dozens of times and it definitely did not disappoint! I loved how it was decorated inside and how friendly the staff was. The best surprise was that they don't offer you complimentary bread to start off, they give you TRUFFLE FRIES! Like come on, who doesn't love truffle fries!?! The food was absolutely delicious! I of course started off with the soup, because I can't resist. The soup was so tasty and absolutely loved it. My boyfriend got the lobster mussels which had rich tomato cream, Maine lobster, & a pound of mussels. He also added linguine to the bottom. My skirt steak was cooked to perfection & the mashed potatoes were heavenly. I love it when my steaks are cooked exactly how I requested. We were too full for dessert, but they have a great selection! This is such a cute date night spot or the perfect place to gather the fam together. Nothing beats a pound of fresh mussels! read more

Meh. Sadly this place is not all it is cracked up to be, in my opinion. Lobster roll: teensy crunchy shells in the lobster. Although there is a reasonable amount of lobster, most of it is shredded (for volume?), with some claw meat, but that was the size of a nickel, and probably one or two claws at most. I think the roll is slightly overpriced for what you get. This roll didn't have the punch of big succulent flavor one would expect. Also it was missing lemon and a little too heavy in green onions. It was burned on the bottom. We ate them of course, and were happy to be here and have lunch, it was just not up to the expectation when one hears "lobster roll". Truffle fries: no. Just no. El crappo. They are thin, which is the only good thing about them. but poorly cooked; they are "toughly crunchy", overdone and have been sitting for a while as were NOT hot. Truffle? No truffle. Seriously, not one iota of truffle. I didn't eat them after one or two; Gary did though because he will eat eat pretty much anything when he is hungry. An extra star because Julia, our server, was very nice. read more

Such a great meal! Great service! Fresh seafood. A great enjoyable place. Great atmosphere.

This restaurant is a perfect gem! It offers fresh tasty food, attentive service, and a casual ambiance & nautical decor that sets the stage for an amazing seafood adventure. The menu has such diverse options. There were four of us, ( two couples) in our group. We ordered beet salad, and shrimp tacos ( enough for two to share. One other guest ordered mussels (Fra Diablo style) served in a copper kettle, and the fourth guest ordered stuffed shrimp ( ( w/ lobster & crabmeat)!! Each of us loved and were delighted with our meal! Furthermore they offer complimentary truffle fries (yes complimentary!) Did you hear that (all those places that are charging extra for bread???) Our waiter Anthony, was helpful, friendly and made us feel welcome. He was attentive as were the waitstaff that served & replenished drinks, and the hostess who immediately greeted & seated us upon arrival. Overall a great casual dining experience but an upscale feel due to the quality & freshness of food. Beautifully seasoned and simply, awesome. I'd love to have a place like this open up in our northern area beach town! Reservations recommended. read more

We enjoy Mussels Beach. The food is very good. Prior to Covid there was a band, which added to the ambiance. Please bring them back.

We had a 8:30 reservation, and had to wait. It was totally acceptable, because this place was busy. We had no issues waiting. We actually got there early, hoping to get a spot at the bar, but they were packed. So we were seated around 9 which was ok. We ordered our drinks they were ok. Nothing special. I had my usual, a cosmo. My friend ordered a Mule. We just had one drink each, because they weren't the best. BUT we were not going there for their drinks! We were there for the food. Our server was Anthony , he was great. We had Mussels, Thai style, and the Stuffed Shrimp. Mussel pot, was great portion size The food was excellent !! No complaints there. Anthony was great! Well worth the wait!!! read more
