Into The Blue AgencyDelray Beach’s Taki Omakase opened a second location in Boca Raton on June 2. ![]() ![]() It’s one of the ways Tommy Bahama is different from other lifestyle brands,” CEO Doug Wood says. “Over the last 30 years, we have seen how our guests enjoy shopping at Tommy Bahama when it is combined with a restaurant. The menu consists mostly of shareable dishes (and signature cocktails) with a dash of island flavor profiles such as Coconut Shrimp, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos, Ahi Poke bowls, Chicken Breasts with Jerk Marinade, Piña Colada Cake and Key Lime Pie. The Tommy Bahama retail store that was on the first level has relocated to the new Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar location on level two, near Nordstrom and Saks, so that the 9,000-square-foot, open-floor plan now has a store, restaurant, bar and outdoor patio. The newest Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar opened at The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens on June 20, the ninth in Florida for the tropical lifestyle brand. Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar, Palm Beach Gardens Military Trail, Suite 322, Boca Raton 56 Along with caffeine, they sling empanadas, avocado toast, flatbreads, salads and more. A West Palm Beach outpost is set to follow this fall in the Village Commons plaza at 701 Village Blvd., Suites 101-102. Carmela’s newest Boca Raton location debuted inside the upscale Park Place plaza in May. This coffee-and-avocado-toast chain, cofounded in Parkland by owners Rainer Abreu and Rafael Baretta, is in rapid expansion mode, with a rebranded name (changed from Carmela Coffee Co.) and nine new locations planned later in 2023. 5022 Champion Blvd., Boca Raton 56 Ĭarmela Gourmet Toast & Coffee Bar, Boca Raton There’s also thick-cut brioche Floridian French toast and the Elevated Egg sandwich, brioche stuffed with bacon, avocado, Gruyere and lemon-dressed arugula, plated with a side of potatoes. As with other South Florida outposts, the Bradenton-headquartered restaurant touts brunch fare that’s healthy (like steel-cut oatmeal, egg-white omelets and superfood bowls) and not-so-healthy, like Italian sausage skillet hash and lemon-ricotta pancakes. Seventeen years after opening its first chain cafe in Boca Raton, First Watch opened a second location here in mid-June, inside the Polo Club Shops plaza. A sister Zuru location opened in Miramar in December. There’s also Japanese street food such as donburi rice bowls and bao bun, gyoza and edamame appetizers. Zuru offers nine configurations of ramen, including popular tonkotsu (with 18-hour pork bone broth), soy-based shoyu, brothless mazesoba, chicken pai tan and yasai (a vegetarian mushroom-based broth). As a local hangout, it seemed comfortable and there were some obvious regulars who seemed at home.Joining the fray of ubiquitous ramen houses in South Florida, this minimalist shop debuted in early June inside the Plantation Towne Square strip mall from owners Tsz Lam, Bo Yang Liu and Jonathan Chen. Overall it wasn't horrible, but for me and my friends (who generally smoke my pipes) it left something to be desired. I was unclear if the half price second hookah was for a coal refresh or a fresh bowl, but we did not really wish to stay longer and find out. I've never smoked Al Fakher pineapple of coconut, together they were generically sweet without anything standing out. The true flavor of the tobacco came through after a bit, but between the gaping hole pulling in air and the crappy coals, there wasn't much flavor to speak of. There was no wind cover offered, nor did I see one in use anywhere. The coals were quick light discs, I don't know the brand but they were crumbly, burned hot and fast. We were shortly presented with a Mya hookah (I think) that was a four port, with two of the ports capped, a single hose and the other port had masing tape over it with a hole poked in it. We asked for Al Fakher coconut and pineapple. They serve Al Fakher and Starbuzz, though Starbuzz is more expensive. The hookahs are a mix of KM (the Middle Eastern patrons got those) and Mya. The young man tending the operation's English was not great, and the menu really leaves a lot to be desired: it suggests that they serve alcohol when in fact they do not. Struck us for sure as a "locals" kind of place, though there were some kids there who seemed to be college kids from nearby USF. last year was tough, tried two and they were both defunct. Finally found a lounge that was still open.
