Chic, globally-inspired Mediterranean dining with a serious cocktail program near Tequesta.
Globally-inspired cooking with a Southern Mediterranean and Lebanese streak, served in a chic, Manhattan-trendy room on Cypress Drive near Tequesta. This is more of a dressed-up night out than a casual bite: Turkish dumplings with lamb and labneh, pan-roasted squid, charred octupus over Greek fava, and grilled lamb chops, plus a cocktail list led by the Nicky Nice espresso martini. Owner-driven and warm despite the polish, it's a strong pick for a celebration or an impress-someone date. Come hungry and plan to share plates.
