Patio Delray

Hands down the best ahi tuna I’ve had in years. Second to none this tuna steak was seared ever so lightly and seasoned to perfection. Service is incredible and the crème brûlée which was earl grey tea flavored literally brought a tear to my eye when it was finished, so I ordered another (haha). Reasonably priced and located right by the beach, my new favorite spot next time I’m in Florida!

Last night we visited Patio Delray and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The first thing we liked was that there was ample parking in front of the restaurant which was an added plus. Upon entering the patio you are immersed in a beautiful garden of palms, vegetation and a flowing water fountain. We were greeted warmly and seated in comfortable patio chairs. Our waiter was very attentive and quickly relayed the specials of the day, which my wife and I chose – a Chilean sea bass over risotto topped with shrimp and lobster surrounded with a lobster bisque. It was magnificent. This is a great find and one we intend to visit often during our stay in Delray. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant.

I was looking for a quiet relaxing restaurant to have dinner with a group of old friends where we could have conversation and great food and I found it at Patio Delray. We sat on a very pretty patio and had lovely and attentive service from beginning to end. We had fish, short ribs, and shrimp dishes which were all beautifully prepared and really delicious. It would also be great for a romantic dinner. I will definitely be back.

I should have listened to the reviews, and made a reservation elsewhere. The ambiance is odd, the inside appears to be fine dining, yet the patio resembles a cooky Grandmothers backyard. The service was good– our waiter was pleasant and attentive. Although the menu sounds very appealing, the food was awful. There was no seasoning on the food, and resulted in flavorless dishes. This restaurant disguises itself as a high end establishment (and is priced that way) but don’t be fooled– the execution mimics an $ 8 per plate restaurant.

Lily the owner was wonderful, food was excellent and desert was just as good. We got the Tuna, Chicken, Shrimp and Sea bass. Portions were nice. For desert we got the bread pudding, which was hand made and excellent. The atmosphere was very nice with the outdoor patio.
As far as prices, I would give it a $$$ out of 4
I will definitely return.

An outstanding restaurant in a perfect location with ample parking. The Patio Burger and the Grilled Shrimp Alfredo are personal favorites.
I say skip Atlantic Ave with the parking shortage, crowds and overpriced food. On Atlantic Ave you’re paying too much for the venue and most who go there just pay to be seen. Well, nuts to that.
Head over to Patio Delray on Palm Trail and you’ll remember it fondly. Been eating here for 4 years and never once disappointed.
For desserts try the bread pudding or brownie.

The restaurant is a little hidden some say hard to find but when you do find it you’ll be in for a treat. Serving the most amazing short rib dinners I’ve ever had and the fresh ahi tuna main coarse delray has to offer. When you come here you read the menu and think to yourself somebody really put a lot of time and effort getting the ingredients just right before they put it on a plate unlike so many restaurants I’ve dined at in delray beach. Service is great, specialty cocktails as well. 5 stars and will defiantly make this my go to spot!

Liked it a lot — nice place that’s kind of hidden away so it doesn’t get the annoying crowds. Food and service were both great. Will be back.

So sad that I didn’t take pics, I was to busy devouring the Amazing food! The house salad with passion fruit vinagrette is so light and refreshing. I don’t know the last time I loved a house salad so much! I had the Indonesian shrimp with mixed vegetables and jasmine rice. It was crazy good! The different spices, textures and flavors were remarkable. Staff is very attentive, extremely nice and friendly. Would recommend that anyone coming through Delray Beach MUST stop here!

Wow, I love this place! The food is amazing, the service crisp and the patio area for dining was just great. You should definitely come here and try it.

I didn’t know what to expect when we arrived here with family. There were great a reviews online for this intracoastal restaurant. We expected a nice Sunday brunch outdoors with a view of the water. This restaurant is not on the water! Its a few blocks from the water. Food-​wise, if you enjoy eggs benedict then this is the place for you. Literally, everything on the menu was a version of eggs benedict with a different protein. The freshly squeezed orange juice was made with rotten oranges. The pineapple was rotten. It took forever to get our food. There was 1 other table, and our food took 45 minutes to make 5 versions of eggs benedict. Pretty bad.

It is worth driving off Atlantic Avenue for this place. (It is right across the street from the Catholic church.) Greeted by the owner. Nice stiff drinks at the bar. Had the lobster bisque with King Crab meat. Yummy. Kind of fishy more than creamy but really good. Fried calamari was good — not gummy. Caprese salad was fantastic. Big slices of really ripe tomato, mozzarella and a sort of basil paste (not quite pesto) with drizzle of oil and vinegar. I had the grilled shrimp pasta alfredo (with bleu cheese, which was very different) and my husband had the Singapore noodles with shrimp. Lots of curry and ginger and very tasty. Lots of great flavors. Nice atmosphere. Not crowded and noisy like the Avenue.

So for valentine’s this year, we wanted to try a new place. This place didn’t disappoint at all. We made a 7:00 reservation which to my surprise we waited for a table. However, we were greeted by what seemed to be the owner. The ambiance was nice and elegant which gave us the feel of the occasion.
On to the food: we started out with a ceasar salad and ceviche to share. The salad was good but I didnt care too much for the ceviche. It was just ok and a bit overpriced for hardly any seafood. The service was very good and they changed our silverware and drinks often.
For the main course, we both had the surf and turf. It included a 16oz strip steak accompanied by asparagus, macaroni and cheese, lobster taill, and king crab leg. Now, this was delicious but my only suggestion is that they should have explained how the surf is served because we did not know until it came out. They top the macaroni with lobster and crab out of the shell, mixed inside. Different way of eating a surf, but still tasty. The steak was the star of this meal. This was one of the best strip steaks ever.
Dessert was a scrumptious brownie which was like a lava cake. So good.
We can’t wait to return to explore the menu here.

It was ok, scallops were excellent but my fish and potatoes were cold! Dessert shooters are great, our server was good until it took her 10 minutes to come back with my bf cc. Overpriced for what we experienced, won’t come back.

Rip off
Poor quality food.
Rip off, followed up with a quality of food that belongs in a hight school cafeteria. Being charged to split entrées ($ 6) is ridiculous when one order an appetizer and two main meals for two people. Glasses were constantly empty and the seafood was poor quality. The owner is sweet at times and obnoxious the rest of the time. Will never eat there again.

Excellent food and service,
Vingerette dressing, sautéed grouper,
Whipped potatoes, asparagus
Chocolate lava cake:
Terrific food!!! and Jerry was a great server!!!

This place is a great place for brunch! Delicious food. Bottomless mimosas. Friendly staff. And a really cool outdoor patio area.
I’ll be back again!

Irish??? yeah, the corned-​beef & cabbage washed down w/​Guinness & Dewar’s shots were great… NOT!!! — THIS IS NOT AN IRISH PLACE!!! (and neither is the Chinese proprietor) — ( Unilocal classification screw-​up)
On the other hand, if you want to discuss the dinner I just finished there we have something to relate…
Had never seen an appetizer of bacon & blue cheese stuffed dates (w/​artistically zig-​zagged chocolate sauce on plate) before so had to go there — even leaving aside that I am just back from Burning Man which is the world’s largest baconfest this was divine!!!
Entrée Jambalaya was enough for 2 people and filled w/​more than the usual number of prawns and big chunks of chicken — would have been better if the sausage were also sliced as chunks to mesh w/​the prawns and chicken as an equal instead of small-​cubed and mixed in w/​rice to really get the full flavor but that is my only crit.
Next visit (and there will be one) I will try to save a bit more belly room to try the desserts — from other reviews I want to try the Croissant Bread Pudding and am curious about «Today’s Crème Brule» and how it might vary…
Overall, can’t go wrong so by all means stop by for a wonderful meal…
ps, not a bad martini (see pic)…

This is a really delicious place that’s kind of hidden back in Delray. Wonderful for brunch. It’s got a nice atmosphere, good variety on the menu, and isn’t busy at all. Another plus? It’s a short walk to the local beaches.
I came with a group of 6 to enjoy brunch and bottomless mimosas. I’m always weary of bottomless mimosas and rarely get them because they are usually made with the worst orange juice ever. (I could care less about the wine, funny enough). They actually use decent, fresh squeezed orange juice, which convinced me to get some. They are definitely worth it!
I ordered a simple breakfast — bacon & eggs, only I got some extra fruit instead of bacon. I got 4 slices of pineapple — which were fresh and yummy and beat out what most places think of as fruit (canned fruit cocktail). The eggs were done perfectly, the hash browns (more like home fries) were really yummy, and the wheat toast is a really dense, yummy whole grain. Overall, a great little brunch spot.

I’ve been meaning to come here for a while but never got around to it. I went for brunch with a friend and there was no one there but us. We had the bloody mary which could have been more spicy and some breakfast foods. I really enjoyed my dish. It was poached eggs over a crab cake smothered in hollandaise sauce on a croissant.
We sat there for hours talking and watched the lunch crowd come and go. It was really nice of the owner to let us sit and talk until we were ready to go.
