    Burnt cookies brought out with our $400 final bill
    Ron H.

    Initially looks like a cute bungelow, the smell inside is great, menu sounds delicious...and the first cockrail is really good (though our first menu had no cocktail page, only for the waitress to realize no one checks their menus for accuracy/missing pages). Things quickly go south when the first plate arrives. Torchon of foie gras was served too cold and the baguettes had the texture of the store bought loaf from Publix (their famous sourdough on the menu as a standalone side? Bread was dense and toasted to the point of now being a cracker). The tuna tartare had an overwhelming smoke flavor that overpowered the whole dish, so I assume it was assembled and then put in the smoke? No need to smoke ghe tuna, just the toasted bread would have been enough. Half a quail egg comes ontop, but its still in the shell so as you try to geg the yolk out, you need tpo use uour hands and inevitable the shell cracks and pieces fall into the dish you then have to fish out. My ribeye (ordered med) was beef jerkey. It was dry and tough, difficult to cut through even with their famous Argentinian knives (also for sale on the menu for $75 each). Technically cooked to a perfect medium temp, but the flavor was a funky/earthy/smoke that had no actual beef flavor...yet also no flavor of being cooked over a grill, just "smokey" and too salty. It was as if they dry aged the steak twice as long as it should have...at some point its no longer a piece of meat, it's jerky. If you cut into your steak, there should be some juices that come out, a glisten of moisture! I cut along the fat cap and then in the center hoping to find an edible piece (there was not). Didn't touch the rest, no more than 3 bites missing yet my waitress never checked back and asked if everything was ok, said nothing when she cleared my uneaten steak (at $98, you think she'd at least be curious why I didn't eat it or why I didn't want to take it home!). Wife's filet was supposed to be 6 oz, looked like 4 (maybe it was 6oz before it was dry aged lol). Taste was slightly better than the ribeye, with a lighter touch on the dry aging and smoke, but still no moisture (credit for a perfect med rare finish). The smoke had flavor that was as if a new chef used cedar for the fire by mistake (an unpleasant and overpowering smoke). Potatoes were gritty and a bit bland (needed more butter, more salt). Mac and cheese was a very small portion, overcooked pasta, and the duck confit had no fat left (cooked at too high of heat?), but the end result matched the over aged/dried out texture of our steaks so at least they're consistent. Even our little sweet plate at the end had overcooked/burnt pasteries. Michelin has obv not been here in a while and keeps the plaque on autorenew. 2 people, 2 entrees, 2 sides, 2 starters, 2 drinks, $400 final bill and 2 hungry guests that ordered a pizza to be delivered on the way home.

    Heard a lot about this place so I had to try it since it's down the street from me. Unfortunately I feel like it missed the mark. The ambiance feels really cool and cozy. Loved the decor and the 007 playing on the screen at the bar. The bartender was amazing and had great drink recommendations. We were seated and like 3 different people came to our table so we weren't sure who the waiter was at first. I have to say for being a Michelin recommended restaurant the service lacked especially from our waiter. We received better service from our bartender and the manager/host than we did from the waiter. The beef empanadas were really tasty and so were the fries. The steak to me didn't really have much taste unless you used some of their sauces. I'm not sure if this place has always been this pricey but it definitely feels overpriced especially for the food. It was nice to check it out for the experience but I don't think I'll be back especially with way better steakhouses in the area.

    In all honesty, I kind of get tired of mediocre restaurants with good to excellent Yelp reviews. What a fantastic surprise Nicholson Muir is! From the professional handling of reservations and accommodation to our preferred dining time, to the food and the service, everything was superb. 5 stars all the way. The longer version, opentable did not show any availability, so I emailed the restaurant. Francisco emailed me promptly and told me he might have a cancellation which actually came through and so I took the open slot. Upon arrival the maître d' seated us quickly. Our server Erika was sweet prompt and very attentive. You simply cannot ask for a better server. We ordered the Prime Angus ribeye, the short rib risotto, truffle french fries and the bread pudding for dessert. Every bite melts in your mouth. There's a reason this restaurant is Michelin starred. Best dining experience in South Florida hands-down. Nicholson Muir is a definite repeat for me. If you've been there or you go there and you agree or have a different experience, please let me know.

    Nicolson Muir is a Michelin recommended restaurant. I went for my anniversary with my beautiful wife. It did not disappoint at all. We made our reservations for 4:30, thinking it was too early, we are glad we did that. It was small inside, has an open bar, and the ambiance and decor were nice. The kitchen is small so the waiter asked if we could put our full order in at once so in case they get busy, our order won't take super long. My wife and I agreed on sharing a Porterhouse steak but unfortunately, they ran out the night before. The Waiter told us their daily meat, fish, and starters. We ordered the Empanadas, Me So Crispy, Wedge Salad, 40oz New York Strip (daily meat special), Mac, and Fries. Way too much food for the 2 of us. They brought out a little free snack that's Curried Chicken Salad on a Tortilla chip. Absolutely delicious. Next was the Empanadas and Me So Crispy. The Empanadas with the chimichurri sauce was amazing. The best empanadas we've ever had. I'm not a big seafood fan, but the Spicy Tuna Tartare on the Crispy Rice was spectacular. That was my favorite starter. The Wedge salad came and that was delicious also, the egg was boiled perfectly. The service is amazing. Checking up on us throughout the time. They brought out steak knives from Argentina and we got to choose our weapons. The 40oz New York Strip with sauces, Mac, and fries came out and it was the best cut of meat I've ever had. We ordered it rare to medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It had a great sear and crust on it, it cut super easily and was super tender. Mac was really good as well, and the fries were perfect. Didn't even need ketchup for them. After we were done, they brought out a free Madeleine and chocolate muffin. They also gave us free Champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We ordered Bread Pudding because why not and it was delicious too. My wife and I have been to quite a few fancy expensive restaurants where even one was 420$ a person. Nicholson Muir has turned to our number 1. We have zero complaints. They exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone. We will definitely be back. Hopefully they have the Porterhouse in stock

    The only con to this restaurant is the volume level. My party and I arrived at 5:15 p.m. on a Wednesday and had the entire restaurant to ourselves until we were halfway through our Porterhouse steak. By around 7 p.m., the restaurant was completely filled, and I had to scream across the table just to be heard. The person in front of me had to do the same. For me, this completely ruined the ambiance. I didn't even order dessert, and I always order dessert. I just wanted to run out of the restaurant. For the price point, they seriously need to consider expanding to a larger venue or stop placing tables so close together. I'm 24 years old, so I'm not a curmudgeon by any means. It truly was loud. Now for the positives: I loved the purse/leftover stool. Such a thoughtful touch. The service was phenomenal. Even when the restaurant was packed, our waiter was extremely attentive and ensured we were finished before each dish was served. I had the prickly cocktail on the summer menu and was blown away by how delicious it was. I could hardly taste the alcohol, which is my favorite way to drink. The wine selection was vast, and our waiter was relatively knowledgeable and gave solid recommendations. Duck Confit: Fabulous! Honestly, the star of my meal. Asparagus: Perfectly grilled and seasoned. Porterhouse: We ordered it medium, but I wish we had ordered medium-well. Toward the bone, the meat was definitely medium-rare. Thankfully, we couldn't finish the 40 oz, so I was able to reheat it at home and bring it to medium or medium-well. The meat was tender and flavorful, but not the best steak I've ever had. I honestly preferred the seasoning and searing at Cut 432 or even Novecento. This one was a bit underseasoned and underseared for my taste. Caesar & Wedge Salad: Delicious. The lettuce was fresh and easy to cut. They didn't use the ginormous wedge leaves that make you saw away at your plate forever. The avocado was creamy, and the eggs and bacon were fantastic. This restaurant has a lot of hype and a cool origin story. We came because it was mentioned by the Michelin Guide as a spot to check out in Palm Beach County. It also warms my heart that the chef/restaurateur brought his steakhouse to a developing Boynton Beach. But I would not return. When I go to a steakhouse, I expect to feel calm, relaxed, maybe hear some light background music. Instead, it felt like a packed bar.

    A group of us dined at Nicholson Muir last night for their multi course Sabores Eternos event. Approaching the entrance was magical, the aroma of wood fired coals and simmering food felt as if one was wondering the streets of Spain. Beautiful restaurant once inside, with monitors playing 007 Thunderball from 1965. Pretty cool. Everyone was greeted with a refreshing cocktail, until all parties were escorted to their tables. Wine was poured, and the multiple courses began. Staff was amazing, flawless presentation, however the restaurant was insanely loud. The sommelier had to speak at the top of her voice while presenting the paired wines while at tables, and still inaudible. Without going into a lot details, because the menu was in-depth (posted below) it was a very lack luster meal. I am sure the quality of ingredients were superior, the wine was paired well, but one was lucky to even get half of a traditional pour, than the glass sat empty until the next course. The portions were incredibly small, more reminiscent of a tasting menu than meal. When the main entree arrived, Paella, it was maybe 3/4 cup of rice, and we all had just 1 shrimp and 1 scallop, and sadly it was burnt. Two tables got up and left, leaving the dessert course and sherry behind. It's clear the event ran longer than expected, checks were presented after 10:00, and at 9:45 staff was clearing tables which was quite uncomfirtable. The one thing that stood out, there was a table of friends and family of the Chef. He even sat with them, and, I know many will criticize this, I also agree there should be perks knowing the owner. However, everyone at that table enjoyed double the experience as those not in that circle. Generous food portions, generous pours, and never an empty glass. It was noticeable, and not a good look. I'd like to mention that the bill for our party of 4, with tax and tip was over $1,100, and we had to stop and eat on the way home because we were all still starving.

The lobster appetizer was phenomenal. The chicken oysters, I personally don't see the hype there but the potato served with them is both the crispiest and the softest potato I've ever eaten. The short rib entree with mole sauce was as tender and flavorful as can be. The local jerk swordfish was cooked perfectly and everything on that plate together created wonderful bites. Cornbread dessert was my choice, I love cornbread and that hit the mark with the blueberry compote and ice cream. One nitpick, and this is absolutely a nitpick. The string lights that hang down the wall to the tables are filthy. So dirty they looked like twine rope. Now that didn't change my experience or make me question the cleanliness of the kitchen at all. That food was perfect.

We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Steak Tartare, served with beer-battered smoked onion petals, truffle, egg yolk, and manchego. It was excellent and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the Za'atar Roasted Local Vegetables with spicy greens, feta tzatziki, lime pickles, and pepitas. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite dish. For our entrées, one person ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with pork and beef ragu, housemade raw milk ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Jerk Local Swordfish from Fort Lauderdale with braised Swiss chard, local radish escovitch, and jackfruit miso beurre blanc. While the swordfish itself was cooked well, I wasn't a fan of the jerk seasoning. The flounder, however, was outstanding and probably my favorite entrée. To drink, I had the Les Fumées Blanches Orange Sauvignon Blanc, which I really enjoyed. Someone else had an Old Fashioned. For dessert, we shared the Affogato with mascarpone ice cream, dark chocolate, and espresso, and it was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated being able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. It is on the pricey side, but that's fairly typical for a farm-to-table restaurant using quality ingredients. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to grab a spot. Overall, it's a fun place for a date night or a nice dinner with family. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Or if you want, they have a great bar and you can hang out there and have a bite.
