Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Palm Beach Gardens

My husband and I had a great time last night at NiMo's. We sat at the bar which has comfortable bar stools and is very large. The hostess was very friendly and so was our bartender, Stephanie. We ordered two pizzas. Margherita and pepperoni. Both good but we preferred the Margherita one. Nice tomatoe sauce and crust was crispy. The service was excellent! The outside dining looks really nice and larger than we thought. Inside dining has lots of comfortable booths, and a few high tops by the bar. We really liked this restaurant and will definitely return! Also, good background music!

The food was delicious, creative and very well prepared, although the 2 cocktails, while unique, were slightly off balance. Service was spot on. The decor was nicely done but a bit noisy and cool. Overall, Ona we had a great meal that was a good value and came back multiple times.

El Camino is a great restaurant for a one-on-one tacos and margarita date or a large group outing. I had called in advance for a table of 10 and due to the craziness of holidays, we had to pivot multiple times and ended up at a different time and number. Not once did the El Camino staff make us feel like a burden but we’re always ready to accommodate. Once there, we had excellent service. Our waters, salsas, and chips were always full. We were asked appropriately about refills on drinks and our food arrived promptly and correct - even with alterations for dietary restrictions. The bill was also able to be separated by couple. Overall, El Camino was extremely prepared and qualified to handle a group of our size while the rest of the restaurant was lively.

So last night, I took my wife there for our 26th year wedding anniversary. We had just left church that we attended at Saint Juliana‘s in West Palm Beach. And you that the place was going to not be so busy on a Monday night, but I still got reservations so that I can make a note to have them do something special for our anniversary when I arrived of course I was greeted and was not asked if I had reservations, but I did tell the greeter that I had made my reservations and what my name was he quickly said OK well, I might as well just mark it off and he sat us. The greeter happened to be Colby and was our waiter and from what I can see made our drinks as well. We started with a trio of hot appetizers, which were phenomenal and then we had the mixed grill meat platter for 2 all while having two rounds of the most incredible cocktails. Colby was very helpful and always on top of our needs. I asked for a dessert menu and ordered a hot cheese dessert which I think is called Kanufa. To my surprise while they was getting our dessert ready Colby brought us a piece of their delicious cheesecake with a happy anniversary written on the plate and a sparkler. This, of course was at no additional cost and I really feel that Kobe went the extra mile to read our reservation request and never even let on to knowing what kind of surprise he was going to give us. It really made the whole night special and I am very thankful to him and to la vie restaurant for such an amazing time last night was it pricey probably yes but in my opinion, it was well worth it. Great job. We will definitely be back.
