    Cute bathroom, funny things in the men's bathroom from what my coworker informed me LOL.
    Belle S.

    Went to Sweetwater twice and it was AMAZING both times. The mushroom orecchiette dish was so good, and my coworker ordered the steak frites which were also fantastic. The truffle fries were delicious. The baked brie with Ritz, berry compote, and ciabatta has me dreaming of recreating it at home. Just WOW. We also tried the katsu sliders and they were deliciously yummy. This place is perfect for a quick date or a full dinner. Awesome dark ambiance with no annoying lighting, and it was service dog friendly too.

    Let's start with the ambiance. A very speakeasy type of place with dark wood and rustic decor. Service was top notch, bar staff was on top of everything and provided suggestions as well. Food, amazing. I had the baked brie and the progies and they both had amazing flavor I finished the night with the peanut butter salted caramel brownie and it was out if this world!

    One word to describe Sweetwater: swanky. Tucked away in an unassuming section of Boynton/Delray, Sweetwater is a cozy gastropub with a stylish vibe. On my recent visit, love seemed to be in the air--four couples were fully immersed in some serious PDA. The staff struck a great balance between relaxed and attentive, making the experience feel both comfortable and upscale. While the menu is on the pricier side, it's in line with what you'd expect from a quality gastropub. I ordered the Parmesan truffle fries--massive portions and perfectly crisp steak fries made it a standout dish. Overall, Sweetwater is a cool spot, ideal for a hot date.

    Finally decided to check this place out after driving by it for long time. So happy we did! It was not at all what I was expecting. It was better! We sat at the bar to eat dinner. Maggie, the bartender, was super helpful, giving us some history of the place. She also makes some very tasty cocktails. The food was delicious. We had the cauliflower hushpuppies, wedge salad and the steak frites. Their menu changes often to accommodate for fresh, seasonal food items. There is a speakeasy kind of feel to the place. Dim but not too dark. Just the right ambiance for a date night! We will definitely return.

    Baked Brie with berry compote

    Such a fun place. Staff is always nice and on point. The ambiance is part of why we go here, it's almost like a speak easy. The food! Omg! They have a rotating menu I believe it's every season, that is amazing! My go to is always the new recipe of the season short ribs and baked Brie. Then we try any other fun items. The Cuban empanadas were definitely good. If you like a charcuterie board theirs is pretty good, rather basic tho. This is a must go!

    Baked Brie and Bacon Slab.

    I love coming here. Drinks are always on point. Nice bartender and severs and the food is delicious and very presentable. The drinks are very crafty. Runs about $16 and up for a drink. Place is a little dim, sometimes more than dim. They play great music and later into the night, turns into more of a lounge. I always order the bacon slab, although it's thinner than before. Almost like they cut the bacon in half. I guess inflation is hitting everywhere. The bake Brie is also very delicious.

    We came here during October, and I loved how the Halloween decorations added to its original ambience. We ordered some drinks and apps. The parmesan fries are addicting, and roasted carrots pair so well with the ricotta cheese and hot honey. For drinks, I recommend the espresso martini. I do wish there were more vegetarian options other than salads for the entrees, but everything we ordered tasted delicious.

    We stopped by Sweetwater for drinks and dinner. Walking in, it felt like we had stepped back in time to a secret speakeasy. The dark wood, old-fashioned lighting and walls full of "liquid gold" spirits was warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and ready to create a great dining experience for us. We were hoping for a robust happy hour menu and were a bit disappointed to see that there were no food specials and only a handful of happy hour cocktails. We decided to try a couple of those: a spicy margarita and the Berry Bramble, which consisted of vodka and berry puree. Even though my friend requested a lower level of spiciness for the margarita, it was still too spicy for her. The Berry Bramble, while flavorful, did not have much alcohol and seemed watered down with a lot of ice. I wouldn't order this again. Several of the numerous cocktails on the drink menu looked good though. We created a tapas-style dinner by sharing a few items from the menu: - Ceasar salad with an unusual and delicious sun dried tomato dressing - BLT flatbread with baby tomatoes, candied bacon pieces, and arugula with a nice garlic aioli drizzle. This was a tasty item albeit somewhat expensive at $26. - Jamaican oxtail eggrolls with a side of au jus and a spicy sauce. A delightfully interesting flavor combo with a nice exterior crunch and a creamy meat center! - Lollipop chicken, which are chicken wings with part of the bone stripped clean to cleverly create a lollipop look. This dish comes with a side of creamy blue cheese dip. Beware: the sauce on the chicken is essentially a spicy buffalo sauce, even though the menu does not mention this. We enjoyed the chicken and commented to the server that the menu should have indicated it was a spicy item. - Hand-pulled wedge of mozzarella with tomatoes, toast, olive tapenade, and a roasted garlic. It was an enjoyable dish as we could mix and match the components in varying quantities based on each person's tastes. This is a good item for sharing. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal with a wide-range of interesting and tasty dishes in a fun setting.

    The wife and I were in the mood for something new and exciting and we found Sweet Water. I can tell you this place is perfect for a night out. Our waitress was Aaliyah and she was amazing. She was Informative and very friendly. The food was amazing. We ordered hand pulled mozzarella it came with glazed toast points, prosciutto, roasted garlic, diced olives with a charcuterie style presentation. Also got a couple more appetizers that blew us away. We had drinks that came recommended from our waitress and she nailed it. The decor was great well decorated with a dark ambiance with plenty of eye candy. We left very happy, couldn't stop talking about our night out and can't wait to go back.

    Came with my friends on a Wednesday afternoon and loved everything we had! I wasn't expecting much of the food to be that good but all the ingredients were amazing. Our server was very attentive and helped us picked the best things, unfortunately I do not remember her name. The place is pretty cozy and might be a cute spot for a date night! I forgot to take pictures but will probably come back for everything

    Korean BBQ tacos
    Jacqueline E.

    Drinks were amazing but small and pricey. "Cruel Summer" For appetizer we had the "Street Empanadas" which you have to eat each bite with the elote crumble or the chicken tinga had no flavor. The Korean BBQ tacos were drenched in Hoison so I wasn't able to have more than one. The Shrimp Mofongo is more of a Shrimp Mangu cause it was made with sweet plantain instead of green plantain. Our waitress was very nice. Ambience was very nice.

    Was looking for good happy hours in the boynton area and google recommended this restaurant. It's right next to the One Boynton apartments but I was surprised when it offered a free garage-like parking. Took me just 2 minutes walking to arrive at the restaurant. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the dim lighting (which I loved) and it wasn't too busy so we were sat right away. I ordered the Baked Brie--soooo good, you've got to try it! For my first drink I ordered the Spanish Inquisition, it was alright. However, I was intrigued by the spiciness of the Spice of Life drink so I ordered that one next. Very unique as it had sriracha in it, definitely didn't pair well with my entree but it wasn't bad. I wish I would've ordered the Pachuco instead but maybe for the next time!

    Excellent service from Sisco Excellent food from the kitchen…read more Excellent drinks from the bar. What more to say? The greeting from our server set the tone and standard for the evening. 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. And I wouldn't lower my rating .1 because of it I would go back to driftwood more frequently if my schedule fit their hours better, this place is top notch. Make your reso and enjoy We had 4 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 dessert. Shared everything. Bill with gratuity was about $270. It was worth every penny.

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.
