Another fantastic meal at Nicholson Muir. This one was a birthday celebration on the coldest night in Boynton Beach in decades, around 32F. The roaring fire added ambience; it doesn't happen often in south Florida but on this "frigid" night the fire was really needed. We started at the bar with a few drinks including the Dr. No, and then moved to our table, we didn't feel rushed at all, it was Saturday night, 8:30 pm and the restaurant was quite full. I always get the wedge salad and I especially like NM's version with avocado and a thick, creamy blue cheese dressing (but not overpowering everything else). Also, their empanadas are renown and we love their chimichurri sauce. I highly recommend them. We also tried the daily pasta which was good. For mains, we really went for it with the 16 oz Ribeye, quite a large serving that we didn't finish and took home with us (see picture). The steak was pretty straight up - just a well-cooked delicious piece of meat. I had heard people rave about the veal chop so I decided to try it and was happy I did; also a rather large piece of meat (bone-in) with melted cheese and a light sauce - probably one of the best veal chops I've had (which we also took home with us). Nicholson Muir does great sides - we got the creamed spinach which was not overly creamy and the truffle fries, thin-style with a nice crunch. For dessert, the bread pudding (with a birthday candle) was very good - the ice cream portion was gone in split seconds. Excellent service with our main server and other servers attending to us making sure everything was great and delicious. read more

The only con to this restaurant is the volume level. My party and I arrived at 5:15 p.m. on a Wednesday and had the entire restaurant to ourselves until we were halfway through our Porterhouse steak. By around 7 p.m., the restaurant was completely filled, and I had to scream across the table just to be heard. The person in front of me had to do the same. For me, this completely ruined the ambiance. I didn't even order dessert, and I always order dessert. I just wanted to run out of the restaurant. For the price point, they seriously need to consider expanding to a larger venue or stop placing tables so close together. I'm 24 years old, so I'm not a curmudgeon by any means. It truly was loud. Now for the positives: I loved the purse/leftover stool. Such a thoughtful touch. The service was phenomenal. Even when the restaurant was packed, our waiter was extremely attentive and ensured we were finished before each dish was served. I had the prickly cocktail on the summer menu and was blown away by how delicious it was. I could hardly taste the alcohol, which is my favorite way to drink. The wine selection was vast, and our waiter was relatively knowledgeable and gave solid recommendations. Duck Confit: Fabulous! Honestly, the star of my meal. Asparagus: Perfectly grilled and seasoned. Porterhouse: We ordered it medium, but I wish we had ordered medium-well. Toward the bone, the meat was definitely medium-rare. Thankfully, we couldn't finish the 40 oz, so I was able to reheat it at home and bring it to medium or medium-well. The meat was tender and flavorful, but not the best steak I've ever had. I honestly preferred the seasoning and searing at Cut 432 or even Novecento. This one was a bit underseasoned and underseared for my taste. Caesar & Wedge Salad: Delicious. The lettuce was fresh and easy to cut. They didn't use the ginormous wedge leaves that make you saw away at your plate forever. The avocado was creamy, and the eggs and bacon were fantastic. This restaurant has a lot of hype and a cool origin story. We came because it was mentioned by the Michelin Guide as a spot to check out in Palm Beach County. It also warms my heart that the chef/restaurateur brought his steakhouse to a developing Boynton Beach. But I would not return. When I go to a steakhouse, I expect to feel calm, relaxed, maybe hear some light background music. Instead, it felt like a packed bar. read more

Great food. Attentive service small space Our table was by the window it there were some inside trees right next to the table. The Mac and Cheese was outstanding. We don't mind giving the full order during busy times. Just don't forget one of the dishes that was ordered. The cocktails were interesting other than the Felix lighter which was outstanding the others were just okay. The me so creamy was done to perfection the carpaccio delicious We want to return to try the tasting menu. It will need to be ordered within the reservation. read more

Made reservations at this spot for a birthday boy who loves steak! On arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated. Our server, Marco, was kind enough to tell us about some of the popular items on the menu and helped guide us on what to order. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is small but comfortable with nice ambient lighting and lots of interesting decor to admire. The Me So Crispy appetizer is small but they're good bites! We went with an order of the summer special and chose a carpaccio of aged wagyu beef, the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the softest chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I selected "birthday" for the occasion and they brought the cookies out with a candle without me even asking! Very appreciated! We also ordered the smaller filet (cooked perfectly medium) and truffle fries as well. Both of these were very good. They also threw in an amuse bouche right from the start which was their take on a pig-in-a-blanket and an extra little dessert to try which included a refreshing citrus madeleine. These small touches made the experience even better. Overall, definitely on the pricey side but everything was delicious and the few extra touches made the experience feel special. read more

My local steakhouse with an amazing European feel (definitely not Ruth's Chris) Modern art prints adorn the wall of this historic cottage that was moved to this location about 10 years ago, when it opened as "The Little House" which didn't survive High end meats sold in a small butcher cabinet, aged in house and in view - reminiscent of Jeff Ruby's in Cincinnati... Summer time offers a 3 course prix fixe which is amazing value Our party all went for it: my empanadas were superb, followed by pork loin with key lime pie to round it off My dinner companions both went for the beef carpaccio starter which is a standout dish from an establishment with a very clear focus on beef The service is outstanding - none of that "are you enjoying your meal" nonsense which many American establishments feel is appropriate - it's not, and please don't disturb me while I'm enjoying your exquisite food You do get what you pay for, expect $100 per person including drinks...incredible value and comparable to a $250 ticket in NY Try it for a special or any other occasion and you will definitely NOT be disappointed read more

Food and the service were outstanding, everything was wonderful from the food, the service and the experience. Highly recommend dinner there

A group of us dined at Nicholson Muir last night for their multi course Sabores Eternos event. Approaching the entrance was magical, the aroma of wood fired coals and simmering food felt as if one was wondering the streets of Spain. Beautiful restaurant once inside, with monitors playing 007 Thunderball from 1965. Pretty cool. Everyone was greeted with a refreshing cocktail, until all parties were escorted to their tables. Wine was poured, and the multiple courses began. Staff was amazing, flawless presentation, however the restaurant was insanely loud. The sommelier had to speak at the top of her voice while presenting the paired wines while at tables, and still inaudible. Without going into a lot details, because the menu was in-depth (posted below) it was a very lack luster meal. I am sure the quality of ingredients were superior, the wine was paired well, but one was lucky to even get half of a traditional pour, than the glass sat empty until the next course. The portions were incredibly small, more reminiscent of a tasting menu than meal. When the main entree arrived, Paella, it was maybe 3/4 cup of rice, and we all had just 1 shrimp and 1 scallop, and sadly it was burnt. Two tables got up and left, leaving the dessert course and sherry behind. It's clear the event ran longer than expected, checks were presented after 10:00, and at 9:45 staff was clearing tables which was quite uncomfirtable. The one thing that stood out, there was a table of friends and family of the Chef. He even sat with them, and, I know many will criticize this, I also agree there should be perks knowing the owner. However, everyone at that table enjoyed double the experience as those not in that circle. Generous food portions, generous pours, and never an empty glass. It was noticeable, and not a good look. I'd like to mention that the bill for our party of 4, with tax and tip was over $1,100, and we had to stop and eat on the way home because we were all still starving. read more

A must try for a high end dining experience in Boynton Beach! This place is definitely a hidden gem with cute decor in a historic cottage! With a fairly recent liquor license, they have a fantastic bar tender with a fully stocked bar and plenty of specialty cocktails to choose from! We enjoyed a margarita and a Huckleberry Mule (daily special menu)! Everything we ate was absolutely fantastic! We were offered a free little appetizer that was basically a mozzarella stick with vodka sauce, omg yum. They need to add this to the menu permanently! We also had the empanadas (3) for an appetizer. These were really delicious with extreme depth in flavor that we loved! I had the Veal Parm which was huge and definitely the favorite dish at the table. I was hesitant to get veal at a steakhouse but the waitress mentioned it's one of the most popular items. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who like Veal and Vodka sauce. The steaks were amazing. Unfortunately they did not have the market ribeye so we got a strip steak and it was great. The blue cheese topping is definitely more like a crust than anything I've had before. I would recommend describing how you like your meat cooked because it came out a little more rare than we were expecting. The staff gladly took it back to cook it a little more and the chef came out to make sure it was to our liking! Really great service! read more

What an absolutely amazing dinning gem in Boynton Beach. We had a wonderful meal here, the food was phenomenal and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Even with our two little ones. This is definitely elevated dining, with a meat-centric focus. We're looking forward to returning, this is our new date-night spot! read more

So disappointed. Not sure how this place is Michelin guide. Caesar was basically a premade Publix salad, hardly any parm, rock hard croutons. Gnocchi was the texture and flavor of baby food. And I am a self proclaimed gnocchi connoisseur lol . Steak, WAY too salty to the point my tongue felt like it was burning. The fat probably was 1/3 of the whole steak. 400$ gone to waste! read more

Nicholson Muir Distinguished Meats - Butcher Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

Nicholson Muir Distinguished Meats stands out as something extremely different in a world of luxury steak houses and gimmicky bars. From the outside this restaurant does not seem like but that is not the case once you walk in. With a very unique blend of decor, it seems to always draw the eye to something different, from the working disco ball that lights up the bar, James Bond Movies on the TV and the tasting bar made out of a meat display case, it is just something different and I could not be happier to see that. When it comes to the starters most mimic the restaurant, small in size but pack a very strong punch. We as a table had the Jamon, Bolo and empanadas. All of which were great. Jamon was fresh with the perfect level of salt. Bolo has crunch and a great tomato sauce for paring. Lastly the empanadas which were my personal favorite with tender juicy meat filling that would rival anything you would find in the best of Miami restaurants. On to the steaks, which where cooked perfectly, I had the weekly special 30oz bone in strip with a nice medium rare and char on top it was amazing to see how they get food out of such a small kitchen so effectively. I cannot recommend this place enough for someone looking for something different. I am already looking at when I can go back to try their Omakase 15 course tasting menu (and update my review) read more

Revisiting my review to repeat that these are the BEST steaks I've had in PBC. And I also want to tell you that they now have a bar with phenomenal drinks. While they can make your favorite, take a look at the signature drinks. The first is the 007 (you can guess what that might be--shaken of course), but the rest are all named after and influenced by James Bond villains! My Auric Goldginger had saffron infused Hendricks gin with tonic syrup and elderflower. Can you guess what Le Chifre or Dr. No might contain ? So delicious and so very creative ! read more

Had dinner at Nicholson Muir this evening and my Delray/Boynton Beach "Top 5" officially has a new addition! Every bite at Nicholson Muir is a treat for the palate, from Amuse-bouche to appetizers through dessert. Add a lovely ambiance, comfortable seating, and wonderful wait staff, and you have a pretty terrific dining experience. The restaurant is warm and charming, with a cozy fireplace (for those cool So. FL nights!) and a butcher shop tucked away in the back. When I first got to the restaurant the General Manager, Nick, and Chef/Owner, James, were stoking a fire outside for s'mores. While casual, you still feel you are in for a fine dining experience, from the white cloth tablecloths to the ambient lighting. And of course, they start you out with a lovely Amuse-bouche. Ours was a tasty mushroom, truffle risotto which, in all honesty, needs to be added as a regular menu item ASAP. We also could not pass up what the General Manager, Nick, called the "holiday in a bowl"; A lovely rigatoni with turkey, butternut squash, and Iberico ham. The Me-So-Crispy and Me-So-Creamy Starters were a big hit with my Niece, and the Wedge Salad was delicious. Full disclosure, I'm not the biggest steak eater. BUT, if I'm going to have a steak in Palm Beach County, it will be here. The 16 oz rib eye, brought to our table sliced for easy sharing, was melt-in-your-mouth goodness, cooked the perfect medium rare. The accompanying creamed spinach was incredibly flavorable. That same creamed spinach accompanied my grilled salmon was served with a tomato-caper-olive compote and fried capers. A literal flavor explosion in your mouth! Lemon madeleines were provided as a treat while we waited for our main desserts of flourless chocolate cake and cookies and 'cream' (cookies are hot out of the oven!). The staff is lovely. Nick took care of our table and Chef James came out to check in on our meal. Nicholson Muir is a restaurant that I will be returning to. I am especially excited to try the Lunch menu (served Friday and Saturday only) so I can work my way through the sandwich options. read more

Nicholson Muir Distinguished was such a great find! The service was amazing, and we loved that the chef sent out little bites throughout the meal before our main dishes--it made the experience feel extra special. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with the cozy feel of a small historic house adding so much charm. We went on a rare cold Florida night and were so happy to find a fireplace--we definitely made good use of it while waiting for our table. Everything about the night was perfect, and we can't wait to go back read more

Definitely a hidden gem in Boynton Beach. A small, quaint, upscale without the extra, corner restaurant on Ocean Ave. We normally love ordering sandwiches for lunch but decided to dine in for dinner. I almost felt like I was in Aspen for some reason. Mind you we dined in early January, Christmas lights were still up, and guests were roasting s'mores at the wood burning fireplace inside. The service was delightful and the menu was refined and delicious. My favorites included the special Duck Pasta, cuts of Beef, and Veal Parmesan. Overall loved it and can't wait to return. Order the Espresso Martini- it includes Grappa, which was an awesome twist! read more

Somehow, four of us managed a bill of over $900 with tip. We ordered high end steaks, bluefin tuna app, lots of cocktails. The drinks were great as was the atmosphere- you feel like you're in a small ski house with a wood burning fire. Steaks were poorly cooked- no sear. No crust. Rare- not medium rare as ordered. Way too expensive to not be cooked perfectly. read more

As a Boynton beach local, I've never been to a restaurant like this in our area. It's such a cozy, intimate, and inviting restaurant. The service is unmatched! They are attentive and very helpful.

If you want to enjoy a cafe style lunch in a serene atmosphere with delicious food, this is the place to dine. The service was also friendly and quick. I ordered their Ronnie Raccoon sandwich, and though I did not ask why it was called that, it was very good. It had an ample amount of fresh shaved ham with melted cheese and a wonderful aoli with pickle pieces mixed it. My sandwich cost was $11.00, and it came with a bag of kettle chips. Perfect to go lunch if you are not able to dine in. From order to exit, it was less than 10 minutes. The people dining inside had delicious food in front of them, and I am looking forward to returning to try other menu items. Parking is easy as they have a private lot. Inside, they have a few large communal tables to dine with friends or meet people while you are there. I will definitely be back! read more

Incredible food impeccably prepared. Great cozy vibe. A wonderful experience. Worth driving to from anywhere.

Went here to continue celebrating my wife's bday in Florida and OMG this place just does everything so damn well. Food was amazing (beef carpaccio in my opinion a must as well as the dry aged by strip and splurge for the truffles on top and for fish lovers the bass is perfect!! ) my steak had a just a small hint of smokiness which I was told was part of their cooking technique as well as grilling it. So good!! Service was extremely attentive and helpful (Seth our server was great) Nick the chef was also so awesome. He came over Introduced himself to us and him and I had some good talks later about meats. The decor of the place was so light and pretty and had an elegant beach feel to it. Kudos to the entire staff for making it a perfect night. FYI the restaurant is tiny and I highly recommend a reservation. They serve beer and wines (no full bar). read more

Outstanding steakhouse. We each had a filet mignon and they were perfectly prepared-medium rare. The accompanying sauces added tremendous flavor to the dish.

Like another Yelp reviewer I also found the menu to be overpriced (especially for lunch), but the food and service are VERY good. I knew there was attitude (not from any employees, but the place in general) when I discovered you must put down $25 per person to make a LUNCH reservation! Then when I ate there on a Friday at 12:45, there was only one other table of guests. Now for the good parts: Walking in, it's very charming and lovely ... small, with limited seating. Our server told us that the dining room is full during dinners. I can believe that as the food critic for The Palm Beach Post named it the best new restaurant of 2023 for the entire PB County. We first ordered the [ME-SO-CRISPY] Crispy Potato Pave, American Wagyu Steak Tartare, Sriracha Aioli and Crispy Rice, Spicy Tuna Tartare, Avocado, Jalapeño. They were beautifully presented, but just four bites between the two of us took care of that plate! Small, but mighty in flavor! The steak tartare was my favorite, but honestly they were both fresh and bright. (I stupidly ate my half before taking photos, but I got photos of the remainder of the meal.) I wish bread had been offered as I was still so hungry after those two delightful bites. For my main meal I ordered the appetizer of foie gras torchons on crispy wafers. They were lovely to look at, and the figs served alongside were wonderful. Really good. Such a smart combination. I also had the crispy shoestring fries that came with lime aioli. I like most any French fry if it comes with aioli, but these were crispy as advertised and well seasoned. I immediately asked for salt as is my custom (none was on table), and server Nick told me to taste them first. Lesson learned! My friend's "rare to medium rare" ribeye steak ($58 with not so much as a leaf served alongside) came out medium to medium well. I insisted he send it back ($58 after all!). Nick agreed and was so professional, and huge props to a restaurant that allows you to keep the overcooked steak while awaiting the new one. Just because it wasn't how you wanted it for your meal that day doesn't mean it won't make a super steak sub with mayo and melted cheese the next day (or for your dogs). The asparagus my friend ordered was way better than I expected. I made a face when he ordered asparagus, but I was stupid. Possibly the best asparagus I've ever had, especially dipped into my aioli! The new rarer steak came to the table and all was well. For dessert they offer three choices. The flourless chocolate cake was as good as it looked -- like rich, deep, dark chocolate. Not too sweet at all, which was nice. Lastly, I ordered the empanadas to take home. The food critic for The PB Post had mentioned how they're made there and are excellent. I was pleasantly surprised that they were $14 for three of them! Creamed spinach too. Wow, I thought! Well, although they were crispy and flavorful, they are the smallest empanadas you've ever seen. I went to eat just one in the car and ate all three -- on the way home from lunch. Yep, I did. Someone on here mentions a steak sandwich for lunch, but that wasn't on my menu. No specials were mentioned when I was there. I wish they had a few offerings at lower prices. It's way out of reach for most people (certainly me!), and that's a shame. Nick (our server but also a manager) couldn't have been more professional and accommodating. Bringing the bill inside a marrow bone is a cute touch, too. Oh, and there are beautiful dry-aged steaks in a display case. Not too many markets have Japanese A5 Wagyu available. If you're well off, race down to Nicholson Muir! Otherwise, peek in the windows and weep. read more

Absolutely the best steaks in Boynton and Delray. We don't want it to get too crowded in there, but they absolutely deserve to be recognized. My husband is very picky and even pickier with how his steaks are. If he says it's great, you can bet it's great. We've come here a few times and have never been disappointed with the food and experience. My husband has tried a lot of the steaks and have never been disappointed. I've had the nigiri and sea bass, absolutely perfect every time. I daresay, the seabass has been one of the best I've had in the area. We are both such big fans of Muir. They know their meats, service is impeccable, the chef is out of this world! We can't wait to come back again and again. It's our perfect place for date nights! read more

Fantastic place for a cozy dinner with friends. Outstanding food and service. The steak was perfect.

Returned after 1 year and still fabulous. Three of us shared wedge salad (delicious), crispy fries (excellent), creamed spinach (too spicy) and a 16 oz prime rib eye which they kindly sliced for us. Steak cooked perfect medium rare and the most tender steak I have ever eaten!! Also served us 2 amuse bouches. Service good but could have been better. Would have liked a Mai Tai or Painkiller cocktail but they could not make any Caribbean style cocktail. read more

The restaurant is nice and uniquely decorated and the service was very good and I was really looking forward to dining here but just found everything to be way below average or simply awful and with the favorable reviews I was just expecting better. The small thinly sliced two piece Waygu nigiri appetizer was overkill with too much sauce covering the Waygu and does good steak really need to be covered up and have the flavor hidden like it was served here? Empanada appetizers reminded me of frozen food and what was interesting was how burning hot they were and they arrived at the table very soon after ordering. I'm not sure if they were microwaved but I am sure that they were not freshly prepared. An expensive steak was forgettable and I didn't bother eating much and at the price charged I thought I would get an excellent or at least good steak but unfortunately it wasn't. The steak was tough and chewy and after a few bites I just stopped eating it. We tried other items and they were also disappointing and perhaps we had the misfortune of dining on an off night. A very off night. A bottle of wine was good and as mentioned so was the service (and for that reason it's two stars not one) but those are the only favorable things I can say about this restaurant. read more

Hidden gem. I had no idea what I was walking into. I had always thought this place was a permanently closed butcher. The ambiance was intimate, with a cozy charm that made it feel like a well-kept secret. It reminded me of a restaurant in Comporta Portugal The attention to detail in the decor and table settings added an extra layer of elegance. Service was perfect. Every interaction felt sincere and genuine. Mgr had vast knowledge of wine and it was apparent wines were curated to complement dishes. Food was fantastic. This would be a perfect date night location. Once people realize this place is here... it's going to take off. Which makes me hesitant to post this. read more
