Main meals: ordered chicken fried rice (way too salty), crunchy tuna roll - decent, but fish was meh, salmon roll - fine, dragon roll - okay (even though it was more tempura than shrimp in the roll), but came when everyone was done eating, took way too long. Service: fine, but slow, and not attentive enough. Dragon roll took too long (they must've forgotten it, along with the white rice we asked for) which was annoying. Vibe is like sushi restaurant meets TGI Fridays meets wanna be trendy spot. Didn't hit for us.

We joined some friends for dinner tonight at this newer Asian restaurant on Atlantic Ave…read more We started with an assortment of fun named drinks. Kinky Kitty, Match Piña Colada, & Bump and Grind. All were delicious as my friends all tried tasting each one. We followed with apps. Chinese Sticky Ribs, Bang Bang Shrimp Korean Short Rib Gyoza, Shrimp and Scallop Shumai, and Wild Mushroom dumplings. Each one was as good as the next and would have had twice as much if I wasn't ordering an entree. For our entrees we went with Drunken Noodles and Shrimp, Crispy Rice Tuna Crab Fried Rice and two Rolls Spicy Salmon and Hamachi Yuzu. Luis, was our server and made some great suggestions to our table that we all went with. Always kept our water glasses full and smile on his face. The flavors, textures, colors and did I mention flavor was amazing! Congrats to the Chef on a wonderful diverse Asian menu.

There are so many incredible options to choose from, and the Freaky Frank ‍ was absolutely amazing and perfectly crafted. The other massive highlight of the meal was the dessert. We ordered the Vietnamese Coffee Affogato, and the presentation was really special. The server pours the fresh espresso over dry ice right at the table, creating this smoke the pours off the glass. It was such a cool touch. The only reason I am knocking off a star is that the chicken skewers were unfortunately just not really good. Aside from that, it was an otherwise amazing meal with great service. I can't wait to come back and try more of the drink menu!

It was just super hot outside. Will return to try the brunch next time!

It runs Monday-Friday 3 - 6PM and offers $10 specialty cocktails, $5 beers, $7 wines, and half-priced menu items. I first had the Lychee martini, which was tasty and nicely chilled, then had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, a generous pour of a delicious wine that goes for $17 when it's not happy hour. My friend and I sat in comfy chairs under heat lamps sipping our libations, admiring the decor and making friends with the folks next to us. Service was top notch - friendly, casual, and prompt. We didn't try the food since we were off to dinner, but I would definitely come back for nibbles and more libations :)

Strong resort style pool, patio and bar with a 360 degree view of Delray Beach. We sat immediately at an inside wooden slated table next to the cocktail bar. The room featured warm, rustic elements, such as the thick wooden beams secured by metalwork. The server Justin was attentive, professional with a great personality. The Jalapeno Cheddar Smash Burger was huge and juicy with just a hint of peppery heat - definitely surprised by the flavor combination of the cherry pepper jam and bacon. The appetizer was corn tortilla chips and toasted naan served with large chunks of fresh mahi-mahi. The gender neutral bathroom was clean and offered soap pumps next to a modern rectangular semi-inset ceramic washbasin. This restaurant is a must try if in Delray Beach.

We got lucky that it was not busy and we were able to get seated right away. We got empanadas to start as an appetizer, and they were amazing! Then my husband and I both got the hand cut steak. They had cut very well was very easy to eat with amazing flavors. Unfortunately, mine was medium rare even though I wanted it to be medium. They were able to easily fix that. Then we ended with some dessert, which was absolutely delicious. This area is kind of hidden, but I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Delray Beach area.

The owners make you feel like family, and that generosity and passion are infused into everything they do. The food is exquisite. Bold, soulful, beautifully balanced, deeply comforting, and made with a level of care and pride that you can taste in every bite. I've traveled extensively, eaten, Latin cuisine all over the world, and lived in both Los Angeles and New York City where phenomenal food is everywhere. So when I see these reviews praising Santanas I know they also have great taste. This is real food, real flavor, real hospitality. The kind of meal that stays with you because it's made with tradition, talent, and soul, not trends or gimmick. In a world filled with forgettable restaurants, chasing aesthetics over substance, this place remains the real deal. The atmosphere makes you feel welcomed and cared for. When people asked me where to go for an unforgettable Latin food, this is the place I tell my friends, my family, and anyone who trust my taste. I've also sent several chefs and owners of restaurants here and they adore it. And for the record they are New Yorkers. They would tell me how they truly feel. Food that truly makes you feel good. ¿Pero bueno, el q sabe, sabe?!

The espresso martini was good as was the Point Break, with tequila and guava juice, very nice, very tropical. Avalon Beach House used to be Avalon Steak & Seafood House. The first time I went in 2022, I remember it being more of a traditional steakhouse. The Ave has grown significantly around it over the years, but it's still one of the staple restaurants in a central location. Overall, it was great meal with good service and nice atmosphere. It's sill one of the gems. We started with the wedge salad and cheesy bread. We wanted to get the Filet Mignon and the Prime Cut Ribeye to share them, but they were out of the Filet which was a bit surprising. Instead, we got the Crispy Chicken Piccata. They were both excellent. The fingerlings and asparagus were good and loved the red wine sauce. The crispy chicken was not too heavy, with lemon and an ample arugula salad. I don't remember the name of desert, but it was a combo of a browny with an Oreo cookie layer (which the kid in me couldn't refuse) with a scoop vanilla ice cream. It was great.
