Best Restaurants for People Watching in Boca Raton

Wow! We really had no idea what to expect out of a Friday night dinner at DeLuca’a Chophouse having never been there before (and we are HUGE foodies), but I had been wanting to check it out. Granted, we arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and didn’t get seated until about 15 minutes later, but that was the ONLY downside to an incredible culinary experience. Let me start with the food. Phenomenal. Period. The service? Oh my god! Brian (our waiter) was probably the best waiter out there. Period. And he was supported by a busboy/busgirl staff that had been obviously trained to perfection. The ambience? Not sure where to begin. If you are looking to have a nice, quiet, dimly lit romantic dinner for two (and yes, we were celebrating our anniversary last night), this is NOT the place for that. Dawn (the emcee) was supporting a fantastic disc jockey who, together, got people up out of their seats - dancing beside their tables - to every great hit from the 70s, 80s and 90s. It was loud - in a really good way. It was like The Palm (in DC) had sex with Sammy’s Romanian (in NYC) and gave birth to DeLuca’s Chophouse (in Boca). The vibe was incredible. Lively as all hell. The entire experience was amazing!!!

My wife and I had an incredible dinner experience last night, thanks to Mark who took exceptionally good care of us! The service was superb from start to finish. All the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the most delicious crab cake, beet salad, filet mignon, and scallops! Every dish was unbelievably tasty, with perfect portion sizes at reasonable prices. We are really looking forward to returning again and again. The combination of excellent food and service will definitely bring us back! Thank you to the Shooters staff for a fantastic dinner and date night!

Delicious , flavorful food. The miso sea bass was a 10 as was the hot chocolate cake. Good vibe and energy but not so loud . Always make time to dine here when I am in Miami . Highly recommend.

First time going to American Social and what a great vibe!! The Happy Hour was great and Aerial was an awesome server. We will be back for sure!

This was a lovely way to spend Sunday for an early dinner with my family by the water. Our service was excellent, we all enjoyed our food and the view was wonderful.
