Cafe L'europe - Palm Beach

The dinner was exactly as I expected based on the online reviews. The restaurant had a high-end atmosphere and the patrons were dressed accordingly. Most men were in jackets, but some wore shirts, shorts, and were more casual than I anticipated. I will leave my jacket at home next time. We had a reservation and I must say that the noise level was quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet meal, I would suggest skipping this place. The food was excellent overall. The Caesar salad was a bit lackluster for the price, but the escargot and tuna appetizers were outstanding. The main courses of filet and duck were also very good. Although I have had better, I have not had a better meal in Palm Beach. The chocolate soufflé for dessert was okay, but for the price, I would skip it as it was not amazing. Overall, I am pleased that I finally tried this restaurant and will definitely return.

The food here is wonderful and the setting very upscale. It is odd that even if you have a dinner reservation you also have to reserve places at the bar if you want pre-dinner cocktails before your reservation as the restaurant also serves dinner at the bar. We had the filet mignon and the viener schnitzel. Both were excellent. An unnecessarily impudent, affected, cold and quite rude maître’d, however, did not set a welcoming tone upon entering. Despite having a reservation, the maître’d was haughty, condescending and disrespectful. Perhaps he needs to be retrained in the art of client relations or a new maître’d with excellent client skills should he hired in his stead. We have eaten at some of the finest restaurants around the world and never experienced ŵthe insolence of this restaurant’s maître’d. Despite this man, the food was excellent and we did not let him spoil our evening.

This restaurant is stunning, with delicious upscale French cuisine and top-notch service.

We had eaten at this restaurant years ago and wanted to visit again on this trip. Our reservation, greeting, seating, and service were all excellent. I particularly enjoyed the piano player. The menu had a variety of options, and we were happy with our choices. We would definitely come back again.

Fabulous eating, unfamiliar service, in which the adventurous mood of the palm beach restaurants scene remains.
