Monthly dinner with cousins here at Rhythm Cafe and our food experience was enjoyed by all! Eclectic art adorning the walls and comfortable seating and tables. The dining room filled up fast as we waited for our meals end enjoyed our beverages. Our dinners consisted of two Ducks, one Veal and one Lamb. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. My lamb Shank was "fall off the bone" tender and very very good. (The only negative was a table of four seated next to ours, apparently had forgotten to charge their hearing aids, enough said). Certainly warrants repeat visits, (I'll just bring extra batteries for neighboring table diners!) read more

We came for dinner with friends. We'd made reservations -- which I highly recommend -- as the restaurant is small. We'd been here many, many years ago, but our friends had never dined here before. We had good service throughout and never felt rushed. The venue is casual, but the food was upscale. It's nice that they have their own parking lot for easy access. They have a regular menu plus a specials of the day menu. After ordering, we received a basket of sliced bread and butter for the table. We started by sharing a Caesar salad to which we added anchovies. Our friends shared the caprese salad. They were nice enough to split the orders into separate plates in the kitchen. For our entrees, my husband had the (special) lamb shank. Our friends had a (specialty) wiener schnitzel and the duck. Each entree comes with your choice of two sides. I had the half roast duck, also. It was perfectly cooked through with a wonderful crispy skin. On the side was a small container of sweet cherry sauce. For my two sides, I chose the coconut brown rice and the glazed carrots. Everything was delicious. Everyone said they really liked their meals and that I'd made a good choice of restaurants! For desert, my husband and I just had coffees -- for him an espresso and for me a decaf cappuccino. Both very good. Our friends shared a slice of key lime pie. All desserts are made in house we were told. I'm so glad they're still as good as I remembers them. And now we know, we hope to return a lot sooner. read more

What can I say about this place? One of the most unusual restaurants you'll ever find. We loved it, but no matter what you think most people will at least appreciate it for what it is: a celebration of the past. Think 1950s drugstore coffee shops you may have visited or read about, only taken to another level with an incredible collection of nostalgic paraphernalia displayed everywhere. The décor is fascinating--so much cool stuff to see! They've preserved the original counters and stools, so you can sit right at the counter if you like, or choose one of the tables. Chef/Owner Ken Rzab was wonderful to talk with--he's passionate about the restaurant's history and it shows. Certainly, a labor of love. Local artwork adds even more charm, and the convenience of their own parking lot right next door is a real plus. We stopped in just for dessert and loved both the Key Lime Pie and Coconut Quiche-- loved both. All desserts are made in-house... including the ice cream. You can tell this place has a loyal local following. I can't wait to come back for dinner... definitely eyeing the Crabcake Appetizer and the Roasted Half Duck. If you come, just remember to save room for dessert! read more

Excellent food and very good service. My wife and I had crab cake and fiocchi appetizers while our friends split a caprese salad and each had the Parmesan crusted chicken appetizers. Everyone was very happy with their food selections. We split key lime pie and apple crisp desserts, again, very pleased. I would return and recommend without reservation. read more

The food and the atmosphere were absolute tops! Everyone at our table of 4 raved about the taste, quality and quantity. Not a crumb was left! Although the restaurant was near capacity - the acoustics were excellent. We were able to talk without raised voices or leaning in. The only let down (which will not stop me from returning) was my perceived aloofness of the staff. When I walked in - it was not a warm welcome reception. I chalked it up to them having a bad day - but when our waiter arrived - I had the same sense that he too must be having a bad day. We were not rushed - nor were we forgotten. But there also wasn't that sense they were happy to have us there. I will definitely go back - the quality of the meal made up for what I was missing from the welcome. read more

This is my 4th time back here & I always thought it to be special... This night, Food was adequate but nothing special & arrived warm instead of hot! Service was good but could be a little more interactive. The place is very clean & absolutely adorably eclectic. read more

Such a cute little place. Our group of 6 went in for dessert and this place didn't disappoint us. Amazing peanut butter pie, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and homemade ice cream!!! Our waiter recommended some of our choices and served us quickly even though they were busy. Owner came out to make sure that everyone was enjoying everything. We will definitely be back real soon. read more

Rhythm is probably the weirdest spot in West Palm Beach. It's clearly a locals-and-regulars kind of place, with random trinkets covering every wall and shelf--think Cookie Monster cookie jars next to Big Boy action figures. It used to be a drug store and still kind of smells and feels like one. The staff was very nice, but the vibe was just... off for me. I had the Coconut Quiche (which is a weird combo of words to say) and it was fine. Someone else in my group swore the key lime pie was awesome, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. read more

It's really a shame I can't give more than 5 stars, because this place blew me away! Our server was Bob (spelled with 1 O ) and he helped make our night amazing. Walking into the funkiest vibe I've been in for awhile we were seated right away. This is not a big place to begin with and they only have 2 servers so reservations strongly recommended!! The ladies at our table could not decide on a bottle of wine so samples came out to help the decision making process, while my brother and I just had beer. In the end we decided one one entree and a ton of appetizers to be shared by everyone so the server divided it into courses for us. First up was our cheese course. We got the Baked Brie served with homemade pepper jelly, and an amazing flaming Saganaki served with charred pita. Yum! Next up, Tuna Tartare and the most delicious pasta purses filled with pears and cheese, served with cinnamon brown butter and basil. Easily my favorite bite of the night. For the main event, Filet Au Poivre, Chicken Parm, Lump Crab Cake, and Trout Meunière. All were perfectly prepared and delicious! Dessert was fresh choc. chip cookies with Earl Grey ice cream, apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream, and a coconut cream quiche with vanilla. Followed by coffee, Port, and Muscat. Easily the most enjoyable meal I've had in months! Thanks Bob! read more

Food was good Appetizer was good- flaming cheese Wife loved her Ravioli My jambalaya was good - bit different than New Orleans version - but waiter explained that ahead of time and his description was spot on Would definitely recommend read more

Food was mediocre and price was absolutely outrageous, I should have known something was up when I walked in to only older patrons (who would have thought a doorknob tasted good). Service was excellent but the price ($360 for 4 people) was insane. read more

Had a very comfortable birthday dinner here. We stayed eating, drinking and talking for 4 hours and never felt rushed. Global menu, everything is delicious. I especially loved the appetizers (many of the entrees were available as appetizers) and the desserts. Beer and wine only. Service was very warm and friendly. Decor was kitschy Florida. A low key, relaxed little spot. read more

Outstanding, Uniquely Prepared Menu in a cozy little location that has been a favorite of ours for 10+ years. Don't miss it !!

This is a fun place and the food is great, service is very friendly, the owners come around to check on you. The decorations are really fun to look at. read more

FIve Stars ¡¡¡THE CREATIVITY OF RHYTHM CAFÉ BLEW ME AWAY!!! HIP, FABULOUS, ALL WITH TONGUE IN CHEEK HUMOR, with an INCREDIBLY diverse menu, this place blew away every posh restaurant I dined at on Palm Beach Island. Where else can you find on the same menu: TUNA TARTARE(Native to Beverly Hills circa 1984 by chef Shigefumi Tachibe) Rhythm Cafe does this dish deliciously and serves it with crackers that have been olive-oiled and lightly sea-salted. YUM! Another delicious winner! AFRICAN PEANUT STEW (FYI, peanuts were first brought to Africa by the Portuguese, while "Peanut Stew" originates from the Mandinka and Bambara people of Mali ). It's served vegan here, don't be scared away that it includes Kale (if you're not a fan of Kale, here it's cooked down without the fierce "rib" part so it tastes like cooked Spinach. It's not a huge portion but it's a nice accompaniment to other offerings on their inventive menu which leaves all others in the dust! - Beep!! Beep! Order their GLAZED CARROTS with CARMELIZED IN BUTTER & BROWN SUGAR it'll make you rethink how delicious carrots can be! They made THIS vegetable-averse chica reconsider eating her vegetables! Their FILET AU POIVRE is INSANELY GOOD , (the second time that I had it, I skipped the beautiful Puff Pastry on top, I even asked them to "skip the poivre", they did so without hesitation. Rhythm Cafè is A FOODIES DREAM!!! This is a really special place where the spirit of creativity is palpable. I've been in Palm Beach County for over two months, place blows every other place AWAY. It's their inventive menu that's GENIUS...here, one can enjoy a number of cuisines from all over the globe in either an entree size OR an appetizer size. Genius move, guys! I came back the very next night. I'm a former Staff Writer for the James jBeard Foundation, I found that between the inventive offerings, the totally kitsch environment (of this former Pharmacy Lunch Counter) THIS PLACE IS NOT TO BE MISSED! PS Everything is completely made in-house - including their famous desserts!!! And the staff is respected by the owners to top it all off. After all, what's more delicious than that. read more

I must say from the outside, you would not have any expectation of how great the food is. The service was excellent bob the waiter for the evening was excellent. He explained all about the food told us anything we needed to know about the ingredients was well- informed We start hot, fresh baked bread a bowl of. Bahamian seafood chowder. Also a bowl of carrot and ginger soup. delicious we then had the African pineapple peanut stew never heard of it but it was very good for entrées. I had the king KIP fish artichoke heart delicious Wienerschnitzel delicious for dessert. We had fresh apple crisp with homemade ice cream so good and Dennis chocolate buttercream layer cake fabulous melts in your mouth. They have free parking you must have reservations pricey average entrée is $33 but well worth it. The Decour is like old drugstore style very cute. They're doing something right because I've been around for a long time and they're always busy. read more

Great ambience wonderful wonderful servers and great food. I would highly recommend it. They also have a special between five and six.

One of the finest fine-dining experiences in Palm Beach County. There is a reason that this restaurant has been pleasing palates in Palm Beach County for more than 30 years. The chef's rendition of popular dishes with tasty sauces and delicate spices makes each dish unique. The service is friendly and informative and the restaurant is small enough to never get noisy. Plenty of room in the parking lot. Everyone aims to please, and the homemade deserts and ice cream are a great way to top off the feast. Take your guests here and they will think you are a genius.. read more

This was my first time to this local favorite spot. We always forget that it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and that is when we try to go. I was very happy that we finally made it! The interior design is very eclectic a nod to the area's industry of antique shops. Servers were very friendly and able to read when needed without hovering. There were definitely groups of regulars dining in their 'usual spot'. I love places like this. I got the African Peanut stew. The flavor was fabulous. Full of kale, onions, pineapple and of course peanuts over couscous. I would have preferred there to be a bit more liquid to seep into the couscous but is my PERSONAL preference, I would order this again in a heartbeat, the flavor was so good. The fiocchi is a ravioli dish stuffed with pear and cheese in and orange butter sauce. Good ratio of pasta to filling and the orange sauce was and interesting twist. Definitely heading back here it was a fun spot! read more

Upon entering the first thing I noticed was the funky smell then the less than gracious employee welcome and then seats that need to be recushioned. I was 0 for 3 and that's even before the food came. The decor is eclectic which really is a nice word for cheap and is just a mismatch of conflicting styles - although style might be the wrong word. I like different and unique restaurants but this lacked any cleverness or thought. The restaurant does have good bones - check out the floor and the mid-century curved counter but don't look too carefully at the walls and ceiling. Well just because. The quirkiness of the restaurant continues on to the plating and perhaps just throwing cut up oranges and tiki umbrellas used to work but no more and some of my food and the presentation looked downright ugly and who wants to stare at ugly food? With so many sensory negatives I was actually surprised that some of the food was okay but unfortunately most wasn't. A chicken dish was dry, tough and flavorless. A highly touted beef dish also lacked flavor and was fatty and I'm not sure this even should have been allowed to leave the kitchen. Appetizers were okay at best and we didn't bother to finish them. The best thing about Rhythm Cafe is their desserts and this is what we enjoyed most. read more

We told him how we had been here years ago and excited to eat again So after watch are waiter for 15 min we left and will never be back. The homeless guy out front was nicer read more

Highly recommend this unassuming, eclectic and hidden gem off Dixie Hwy! We tried Mazie's across the street just earlier this week, so when my mom mentioned she wanted to go to Rhythm Cafe for her birthday, we were excited for another great restaurant in the area! With a party of 6, the service was extremely accommodating and the whole restaurant sang her happy birthday. I think this is normally something she wouldn't be into, but it's such an intimate dining room that it felt like everyone was family (not to mentioned they played Dancing Queen and turned on the disco ball right after!). We all ordered fresh fish prepared in different, but equally amazing ways. The herb trout was a table favorite. The smoked fish dip was a great appetizer! We will definitely be back and love the way Ken and his staff celebrate life! read more

I love the Rhythm Cafe but I must tell you that I have had very good experiences here and some not so good experiences here. It is not consistent. The food is good. The service can be friendly and efficient some days, and very slow and neglectful other days. I love the look of the dining room. It has a great feel to it. Especially when it is full of people. read more

Been back here multiple times since first trying it out over four months ago and Rhythm Cafe has carved a special place in my heart as one of my favourite go-to's. Firstly, the food is outstanding, with everything served made from scratch. Secondly, the service is warm, friendly, and attentive - making one feel taken care of and at home amidst the unique ambiance. This is a gem of a restaurant that I always look forward to eating at and consistently hits the spot! read more

The Rhythm cafe does a great job every day. Delicious food in a fun retro atmosphere with excellent service. But if you get the chance to snag a seat at one of their wine dinners, Do It! We attended the Arietta wine dinner last night. The wines were beautiful and the explanations from Fritz, one of the winery owners were beautiful and funny. The music references help to understand the wines. Chef put together a wonderful pairing menu. We began with small crab raviolis in a light cream laced with sage and thyme (perfect with the white Sav/St.Emillion blend). The veal scaloppini with tomato, carmelized onion and a touch of bacon was thin, tender and tasty. The coup de grace was the cassoulet with duck, mini sausage meatballs, white beans covered in a delicious crunchy Panko crumble (and the H Block red blend was perfect with it). The petite filet mignonette was perfectly cooked (pink center) and accompanied by a grilled portobello and a small delightful piece of puff pastry. The baby spinach quiche was delicate and cheesy. Great with the Cab. The dessert was a pot de crème parfait that I did not need, but did not leave (so rich, chocolatey and delicious). Yes, the Uber home was lower to the ground than the ride in . . . We ate some incredible food. Service, as always, was top notch. I'll be back next week to pick up the wine I bought. read more

July 3, 2021: YUM. I love this place. It is so welcoming and comfortable. Bob is still the best. We had Saganaki (Cheese On Fire) with Pita, Shrimp in a Lemon Sauce over Linguine, Tournedos Au Poive (with vegetables and rice, Red Snapper with Artichokes, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Lemon Wine Sauce YUM. The vegetables and salads are great. For dessert, we had Heath Bar Pie and Toasted Coconut and Coffee Ice Cream (made in house). So good and so satisfying. We will keep coming back here. We love it. Prior review: They really are a five. Cool ambience, really good food and service. Bob was the best. The bread is made in house and crusty and good. We had: Tenderloin Tips, Sautéed with Shiitake Mushrooms, Bacon, and Caramelized Onions, Demi Glace Sauce with Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese on top. Yum. And a Snapper Meuniere Almondine (you have to ask for the Meuniere). OMG good. The fish had a slight crispness from the sautee. Well executed. The entrees come with two sides. We had the green beans, sauteed spinach and coconut rice. We eyeballed the smashed potatoes but...next time. Dessert was an awesome Peach Cobbler with Whipped Cream on one side and house made Vanilla Bean Ice Cream on the other. And an Espresso. We will be back. Great service (thank you Bob), good vibe and awesome food. read more

Great spot. It's one of those "if you know, you know" spots. Definition of low key and you walk in wondering if you are in the right place - simple kitschy decor - but food is top notch. Go in knowing it's wine and beer only - no bar - but good selection and fantastic food. read more

This is a unique little place! The decor is interesting and colorful, definitely old school. It's a bit loud in there because of the design. There was an older crowd as it is season. The menu was interesting and I would definitely go back and try something else. My friend i was with did not want to try any desserts or appetizers. I would like to try some of the small plates. I recommend giving it a try. The service was ok, food took a while to come out. It's a different setting for sure. read more
