Best Live Music Restaurants in Royal Palm Beach

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!!!

The dining room is loud and brightly lit, peopled with a young crowd, so we chose to sit in the more intimate, low lit area by the kitchen. It was like being in the series The Bear. The head chef was loudly calling out orders to the kitchen staff. It was entertaining to see them, preparing the food. The service was great and food exceptional. We had Lion’s mane and various mushrooms with fingerling potatoes and herbs, which was flavorful and comforting. This is a foodie restaurant that combines unexpected ingredients in a unique & delicious way. There are many dishes with multiple ingredients, you can order and share, one after the other. The staff is very friendly and makes sure you know in detail what you’re ordering. They do not rush you. We had squash blossoms, which my boyfriend loved. For me, the addition of honey was a negative, but it had a nice little kick of jalapeño. The Cobia, a clean fish, sourced from a superior vendor, was tender & delightful, served with tender carrots, English peas, and a light curry. We were full after those three dishes and did not order dessert. We like this restaurant a lot and will be returning.

The patio was the perfect setting for our one year anniversary dinner! I loved the fire place and the table lighting. Our server was warm and friendly. The food was amazing! The host gave us a complimentary glass of champagne when we arrived.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Great service, great food, outside courtyard is beautiful. Dress nicely.

Hard to find a place that’s as consistently great time after time as Molė.
