Cafe Chardonnay - Palm Beach Gardens

Cafe Chardonnay made our anniversary so special. I made the reservation on open table and put a note it was our anniversary, they had the table decorated when we got there! Our waiters name was Mike and he was so sweet. The entire wait staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The only annoying part was the rude rich man at the table next to us loudly complaing to the manager and staff about everything so he could obviously get his meal for free. Absolutely none of his points were valid and I would highly recommend this restaurant and our waiter Mike! Oh and we got the yellowtail snapper and braised beef, both amazing. Drinks were ice cold and Mike even brought us an anniversary dessert!

What a wonderful Three course meal we had tonight with friends. We decided to try the Palm Beach dine special. Our server brought us some delicious bread and a babbaganush spread. We started with the lamb ravioli, and my wife with the lobster bisque. Filled with flavor! Then on to the main course where I had the Pork Chop with a Sweet potato hash (built like a lasagna) oh so good! My wife had the Branzino skin on, (no head for those that do not like) very tasty and light. and finished off with a flourless chocolate ganache cake and I had the raspberry taramisu. We had it all and enjoyed with a few friends. A must if in PGA!

This is truly a culinary experience in a regular strip mall. Don’t do what we did and keep driving past it. Don’t hesitate, go in, you can thank me later. On entering the restaurant, you will be transported to an elegant, fine-dining, French/Italian fusion. We came in for flavor of Palm Beach, and I can guarantee we will be back. It’s a wonderful experience to celebrate an occasion, or just to splurge on a fantastic meal. While it is pricey, remember that you get what you pay for. Good ingredients make exceptional food. The foie gras and lobster bisque, absolutely delicious. They also have an incredible mushroom strudel, yes, I know it sounds like something you would never order, trust me, order it. I had the veal braised short rib and my husband had the crusted pork chop. The tiramisu was incredibly fluffy, and I’m pretty sure I could eat an entire sheet of it. it’s hard not to fill up on the bread and baba ghanoush, but try. If you enjoy good wine, this is the place for you. They have an extensive wine list and you can always take the rest home:

We had a birthday dinner for my wife. Ten people in a private setting upstairs. Food and service were excellent. The evening was topped off by a custom strawberry short birthday cake.

The crab cakes were good, it had a delicious sauce. The duck and Branzino were excellent. I highly recommend.
