Mussel Beach Restaurant - Mussels Provencal - Seafood Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Super fresh seafood, excellent waitstaff, refreshing cocktails- what more could you ask for? Serving sizes are perfect to share - and the price is reasonable. Not cheap, not expensive - but very fair given the quality and portions. Am so happy we stumbled upon this jewel. Will be in our rotation when we visit again! PS Thai muscles to die for! read more

The mussels are excellent. I got some lobster dish that was average but for the price I'd definitely go back. The place has a fishy smell and the tables were sticky but overall the mussels overshadowed those things. And the servers were kind. This is another place I'd frequent if I lived closer. read more

This place is super yummy! The staff here are always super friendly and are always quick to bring out both of our kids food which we always appreciate. I love the stuffed shrimp. This isn't something I would have normally ordered, but a friend recommended it to me and really wanted me to try it so I did. I was surprised on how much I liked it! The food was super fresh and you could really taste the quality of the food. This is a great place to go for a date night with delicious food! Their wine selection is also really good, so you can't go wrong with a bottle! We can't wait to go back! read more

I stopped there for dinner on a Friday night with my husband, and this place filled a void for us, since a seafood restaurant that we frequented recently closed and we hadn't found anywhere that really came close for us until now. We each ordered one of the mussel buckets and they were delicious! We also got truffle fries while we were waiting, which was honestly a nice touch! The most outstanding part of the night was the service. I can't remember our servers name, and I feel so bad because I want to shout him out directly, but he was so nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything that we needed! We will definitely be back! read more

The ambiance is pretty. Our server was clearly untrained and very new. He was fine personality wise but did not know the menu and did not understand our order. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled calamari. It was rubbery and flavorless. The accompaniments (beans tomatoes and spinach) were the star of the show. For entrees, I had the mahi grilled. Again no flavor and way overcooked. Another in our group ordered the mahi with nut coating. Again very underwhelming and practically inedible. The best thing was the crab pot that my husband ordered. While it was well prepared, we had sticker shock when the bill came as it was nearly $200!!! Let me say that this is a dish my husband has ordered before at other restaurants, received a larger portion, and this is over 2x what we've ever been charged! And honestly, if you are going to have the cajones to charge this, the server should notify the customer of the charge. We felt very taken advantage of, and we will never come back again. Shame on you Mussel Beach. read more

I love this place. Mussels for lunch today were absolutely incredible. Multiple broth choices for mussels, and the rest of the menu is stellar as well. Planning to try the lobster roll next time! read more

Mussel Beach Restaurant - Mussels with Italian Broth included fish and calamari in addition to the mussels. Stellar! - Seafood Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Service. Was excellent. Kaylee rocked it and kept up with a hopping table of six. Ambiance. It's happening. Vibrant. And not good for quiet conversations. The food was mixed. Everyone loved the truffle fries. And the mussels were delicious. We had two different fishes (nut crust) and were disappointed. They were deep fried and ruined the Chilean sea bass. I understand the tacos were good as was the blackened salad. Good size portions. read more

Thought I could order fish but I guess this is a mussels only place. The fish is either undercooked or over and the sides are bland as can be. If you're going to charge those prices you cannot serve a meal like that. Just can't do it read more

If I could give more stars I would! So we walked out of another local place and took our chances with finding another dinner at 8pm on a Friday. We made it in and happen to get lucky with a table! Rhea was our server and really knocked it out of the park and made my 30th birthday unforgettable. With the complimentary fries, to the mocktail, and the mussels... we couldn't have been more impressed. 10/10 would recommend and we cannot wait to come back! read more

I came to Mussel Beach with a seafood craving, but not necessarily for mussels, and I left glad that I ordered the mussels. While Mussel Beach has a wide variety of seafood offerings, their specialty are their mussel pots which serve mussels pretty much every way imaginable - Thai, Provencal, Posillipo, Fra Diavolo, etc., etc. They serve a pound of mussels in the pots and you can even add seafood on to the pots, if you couldn't say make up your mind between shrimp, clams, or mussels. The service was very good, and the restaurant was good about distancing and observing COVID protocols. I'm not in Delray often, but next time I'm in the area I'm tempted to go back to Mussel Beach to try some of the other flavored mussel pots I didn't get to try last time. read more

Great service and great food! We came here to enjoy some seafood and it definitely met expectations! We got free truffle fries to snack on while we explored the menu. I got the lobster panini and my husband got the ahi tacos, we both really enjoyed them but wish there was some more sauce to add some additional levels of flavor. Overall great experience. read more

We scouted this restaurant out after a lovely Sunday drive up the coast. Neither of us had spent time in Del Ray before or walked up and down Atlantic either. Mussel Beach is the perfect upscale seafood restaurant! Their menu is expansive and features a wide menu that ranges from a basic fried fish sandwich and fries to shrimp stuffed with lobsters. True to their namesake, they excel at mussel kettles! We started with a crab stack appetizer. I was happy to see the good balance of avocado to lump crab! I didn't care do for aioli swirl as it was a bit unappetizing to look at, but it tasted good in small doses. Let the crab speak for itself! Next I got the provencal mussels. The scallops really added to the flavor of the broth! I ate these so fast, and yes we needed more bread to sop up all of the good broth. Finally, the restaurant was extremely compliant with COVID 19 safety and protocols. Hand sanitizer was available, masks worn, we were seated deliberately spaced us and capacity limited. I will definitely be back! read more

Updating my review to five stars from four as over the past year Mussel Beach has become our favorite restaurant in downtown Delray. Among the many good but not quite great -- and still overpriced --- restaurants on Atlantic, Mussel Beach is a total standout on all levels. Service is always incredible, prices are fair for very generous portions, and above all the quality of the food is consistently amazing. We are big fish aficionados and MB by far has the freshest and most perfectly cooked fish we've had anywhere in the area and maybe anywhere, period. The grouper nut-encrusted is a perennial fave -- melt in your mouth -- and the mussels are insanely fresh (server told us awhile back they are flown in from PEI daily). I'm not even much of a mussel person and I make an exception for the mussels here. And the free truffle fries are the icing on the cake. Truly, we'd eat here every night if we could! read more

Amazing food and service!! Highly recommend the mussels provencal, tuna and everything else on the menu!!

Another spectacular meal at Mussel Beach! Mussels were all good 4 flavors. Grilled Squid was great as well. The wait staff was amazing and really made our family putting spectacular! read more

Ive been here about 5 times but the last 2 times were terrible . The food and service have declined alot . On both occasions the mussels were very rubbery and the bisque was very bland and watery . Our waiter was very cold and short with us and we were not difficult in the least . The guy just has an attitude problem and seems to hate his job . With so many dining choices in Delray we wont be going back here read more

What can I say except you won't be disappointed. Second visit for us and totally satisfied both times. Delicious food, stiff drinks and great service. They start you off with French fries for free. The freshness of the seafood and full of flavor. We also had Michelle as our waitress both times. Very attentive, even though they're short staffed, she makes you seem like you're the only people there. Cozy for two or a party of 8, will definitely be returning. *No happy hour* in case your wondering. read more

I'm in the area from the panhandle and I rarely see mussels at restaurants near me. I did a quick search and Mussel Beach popped up. So I wandered in. First and foremost Cheryl, hope I spelled that right, gave amazing service. Next a blast from my past. Mussels Fra Diavolo. These are the best tasting mussels I've had in Florida. If I'm ever back in this area. I will define back here. Thank you for your hospitality and wonderful food. Coming from one tourist town to another. Y'all do a great job. read more

Wowza! So I can say hands down I've found one of the best dishes I've ever eaten... My friend and I decided to pop in on a Wednesday night for a drink & bite to eat. As my boyfriend isn't a seafood eater (boo, I know!), I took the opp to try out a seafood place I've been wanting to go to....Mussel Beach. We both started with the blood orange margarita...so good, strong, not complaining! Onto the food...we opted for a half dozen oysters and the grilled octopus app. The oysters were fresh & delish. Now my absolute favorite part of my meal...The grilled octopus. This beauty came out on top of a bed of sautéed spinach, tomatoes and a lemon butter type sauce. I could not get enough. It was tender, light and so flavorful. Next time...I won't be sharing! Sadly I didn't get a pic because I ate it so fast! Mussel Beach...you've got a new fan! read more

From the exterior Mussel Beach looks like a chain restaurant and I suppose that stopped me from dining here but I finally tried it and left disappointed. The restaurant does have some positives though and they include nice service, okay drinks and comfortable seating and all is good until the food arrives. There are complimentary truffle fries but really who wants chemical truffle flavored fries? An appetizer of Tuna Tacos had chewy flavorless tuna and we opted not to eat these. A main course of Crab Stuffed Shrimp featured shrimp that were not the best quality and this too was left uneaten however the side of rice was delicious. However the worst was yet to come and the Lobster Roll was really memorably bad. The Lobster Roll featured just a small amount of lobster on top of a large amount of Cole slaw (?) and the miniscule amount of lobster was not the problem rather the lack of lobster freshness was the issue with the lobster being dry and chewy. For a seafood restaurant the seafood was just not good. read more

10/10! Mussel Beach blew away any expectations I didn't even know I had. We ordered the Mussel Beach Kettle which was worth every penny. Everything was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was very attentive and helped us make a choice that best matched what we were looking for...which was not an easy task considering how great everything on the menu sounded. My grandma was such a happy girl. She couldn't decide if she loved the lobster tails or the gin and tonic more. I would highly recommend a visit here to any seafood lover whether you're a local or just visiting. read more

We recently went for a date night and wanted some seafood, yelp came through in finding this place. We've passed by so many times with it being on our "to eat out" list, and we finally made it. I can't remember if our waiters name was Joe, pretty sure it was but he was GREAT! I'm mean seriously the coolest guy. Great service, great attitude and knew the menu as if he wrote it himself. We started with the truffle fries and grilled octopus, absolutely DELISH! The octopus was charred perfectly. Truffle fries...well I couldn't eaten the whole basket by myself! We decided to then share a clam bake filled with mussels, potatoes, corn, crab legs and shrimp...O M G! Seasoned perfectly and not overpowered with salt or old bay seasoning. This tasted like it was made with white wine herbs and goodness. Each shrimp was cooked perfectly and not chewy at all. Joe would come by and check on us making sure our cups were never empty. Place is amazing, cozy with a NY city island vibe. If you want a really good bake then this is the spot! read more

Mussel beach is one of the best seafood spots in delray! The best part is it's never too crowded and the service is outstanding. The interior of the building is beautiful and has real cool light fixtures. For food, I stared with the Fire & Ice shrimp. They were served with spicy sriracha aioli and cool lime aioli. Both were light and the perfect match for fried shrimp. I highly recommend the Ahi Tuna tacos served with beer battered avocado, yum!! The tuna was marinated in a soy/teriyaki sauce. It tasted so fresh! The bartender, Karly said they slice the fish in the back. You can't get better fish than that! Karly is an absolute gem!!! We really enjoyed having her as our bartender & server! She makes coming here enjoyable and the owners are lucky to have her! If you are traveling to Delray Beach, you must go to Mussel beach for a fresh, read more

Great service. Great food. Loved Mussels Chowder style! Second time here. We'll be back.

Don't waste your money ... trust me. I'll start with the *only* good part of the restaurant. * service is great. * staff is friendly. Now onto everything else... I'm AMAZED this place has such high ratings. My chowder literally tasted as if it came out of a can. In fact, I'm 99% sure it did. It tasted nothing like any chowder I've ever had before. It was gelatinous, lacking in any flavor, and Luke warm. -- they did remove it from my bill however after I sent it back, which was a nice touch. The calamari was so overly breaded and oily that I could barely eat it. I didn't taste any calamari at all in fact. If you had told me it was just breading deep fried in the shape of a Calamari ring, I'd have believed you. The oysters were ok. Just ok. Nothing great but not terrible. We planned on having a full dinner here but after the apps both me and my fiancé felt sick and just went back to the hotel. Please do yourself a favor and go eat somewhere else. I've never been so confused as to how a place like this could have such high ratings. We're here on vacation, and I'm bummed we wasted a dinner at this place. read more

Best customer service! Food was exceptional. I order the pasta primavera not realizing it had spinach in it(highly allergic to it).

It's refreshing to find a restaurant in Del Ray that is reasonably priced AND has very good food! I had the French onion soup and Caesar salad and they were both top notch.

Wife and adult kids loved it and will be back. Thanks for the service and awesome food. Great job!

We decided to celebrate my Xx birthday here last night and we had a delightful evening. It was easy to find and there is plenty of public parking in the surrounding area. We were greeted with genuine kindness and as I was seated my husband was talking to the hostess. Later to find out he tried to have them do something for my birthday. The food was excellent I had a mussel Italian dish with extra shrimp. The after dinner drink of my choice was the best Irish coffee with Bailey. Nothing was done about my birthday but oh well. My husband had a chicken and pasta dish. The environment was comfortable we were beside the front windows so we had an eye on the world. read more
