    Old Fashioned and Paper Plain cocktails!!
    Jennifer D.

    Finally decided to check this place out after driving by it for long time. So happy we did! It was not at all what I was expecting. It was better! We sat at the bar to eat dinner. Maggie, the bartender, was super helpful, giving us some history of the place. She also makes some very tasty cocktails. The food was delicious. We had the cauliflower hushpuppies, wedge salad and the steak frites. Their menu changes often to accommodate for fresh, seasonal food items. There is a speakeasy kind of feel to the place. Dim but not too dark. Just the right ambiance for a date night! We will definitely return.

    Let's start with the ambiance. A very speakeasy type of place with dark wood and rustic decor. Service was top notch, bar staff was on top of everything and provided suggestions as well. Food, amazing. I had the baked brie and the progies and they both had amazing flavor I finished the night with the peanut butter salted caramel brownie and it was out if this world!

    One word to describe Sweetwater: swanky. Tucked away in an unassuming section of Boynton/Delray, Sweetwater is a cozy gastropub with a stylish vibe. On my recent visit, love seemed to be in the air--four couples were fully immersed in some serious PDA. The staff struck a great balance between relaxed and attentive, making the experience feel both comfortable and upscale. While the menu is on the pricier side, it's in line with what you'd expect from a quality gastropub. I ordered the Parmesan truffle fries--massive portions and perfectly crisp steak fries made it a standout dish. Overall, Sweetwater is a cool spot, ideal for a hot date.

    Baked Brie with berry compote

    Such a fun place. Staff is always nice and on point. The ambiance is part of why we go here, it's almost like a speak easy. The food! Omg! They have a rotating menu I believe it's every season, that is amazing! My go to is always the new recipe of the season short ribs and baked Brie. Then we try any other fun items. The Cuban empanadas were definitely good. If you like a charcuterie board theirs is pretty good, rather basic tho. This is a must go!

    Baked Brie and Bacon Slab.

    I love coming here. Drinks are always on point. Nice bartender and severs and the food is delicious and very presentable. The drinks are very crafty. Runs about $16 and up for a drink. Place is a little dim, sometimes more than dim. They play great music and later into the night, turns into more of a lounge. I always order the bacon slab, although it's thinner than before. Almost like they cut the bacon in half. I guess inflation is hitting everywhere. The bake Brie is also very delicious.

    We came here during October, and I loved how the Halloween decorations added to its original ambience. We ordered some drinks and apps. The parmesan fries are addicting, and roasted carrots pair so well with the ricotta cheese and hot honey. For drinks, I recommend the espresso martini. I do wish there were more vegetarian options other than salads for the entrees, but everything we ordered tasted delicious.

    We stopped by Sweetwater for drinks and dinner. Walking in, it felt like we had stepped back in time to a secret speakeasy. The dark wood, old-fashioned lighting and walls full of "liquid gold" spirits was warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and ready to create a great dining experience for us. We were hoping for a robust happy hour menu and were a bit disappointed to see that there were no food specials and only a handful of happy hour cocktails. We decided to try a couple of those: a spicy margarita and the Berry Bramble, which consisted of vodka and berry puree. Even though my friend requested a lower level of spiciness for the margarita, it was still too spicy for her. The Berry Bramble, while flavorful, did not have much alcohol and seemed watered down with a lot of ice. I wouldn't order this again. Several of the numerous cocktails on the drink menu looked good though. We created a tapas-style dinner by sharing a few items from the menu: - Ceasar salad with an unusual and delicious sun dried tomato dressing - BLT flatbread with baby tomatoes, candied bacon pieces, and arugula with a nice garlic aioli drizzle. This was a tasty item albeit somewhat expensive at $26. - Jamaican oxtail eggrolls with a side of au jus and a spicy sauce. A delightfully interesting flavor combo with a nice exterior crunch and a creamy meat center! - Lollipop chicken, which are chicken wings with part of the bone stripped clean to cleverly create a lollipop look. This dish comes with a side of creamy blue cheese dip. Beware: the sauce on the chicken is essentially a spicy buffalo sauce, even though the menu does not mention this. We enjoyed the chicken and commented to the server that the menu should have indicated it was a spicy item. - Hand-pulled wedge of mozzarella with tomatoes, toast, olive tapenade, and a roasted garlic. It was an enjoyable dish as we could mix and match the components in varying quantities based on each person's tastes. This is a good item for sharing. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal with a wide-range of interesting and tasty dishes in a fun setting.

    The wife and I were in the mood for something new and exciting and we found Sweet Water. I can tell you this place is perfect for a night out. Our waitress was Aaliyah and she was amazing. She was Informative and very friendly. The food was amazing. We ordered hand pulled mozzarella it came with glazed toast points, prosciutto, roasted garlic, diced olives with a charcuterie style presentation. Also got a couple more appetizers that blew us away. We had drinks that came recommended from our waitress and she nailed it. The decor was great well decorated with a dark ambiance with plenty of eye candy. We left very happy, couldn't stop talking about our night out and can't wait to go back.

    Came with my friends on a Wednesday afternoon and loved everything we had! I wasn't expecting much of the food to be that good but all the ingredients were amazing. Our server was very attentive and helped us picked the best things, unfortunately I do not remember her name. The place is pretty cozy and might be a cute spot for a date night! I forgot to take pictures but will probably come back for everything

    Just a great time, every time.

    My absolute favorite place! The food is a 10/10, atmosphere is 10/10, and the drinks are OUT of this world. There's no better bang for your buck. The service is always on point, with bartenders that remember everything you like and don't like every time! No matter how many different places I try, Sweetwater stays in the #1 spot.

    Korean BBQ tacos
    Jacqueline E.

    Drinks were amazing but small and pricey. "Cruel Summer" For appetizer we had the "Street Empanadas" which you have to eat each bite with the elote crumble or the chicken tinga had no flavor. The Korean BBQ tacos were drenched in Hoison so I wasn't able to have more than one. The Shrimp Mofongo is more of a Shrimp Mangu cause it was made with sweet plantain instead of green plantain. Our waitress was very nice. Ambience was very nice.

    Was looking for good happy hours in the boynton area and google recommended this restaurant. It's right next to the One Boynton apartments but I was surprised when it offered a free garage-like parking. Took me just 2 minutes walking to arrive at the restaurant. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the dim lighting (which I loved) and it wasn't too busy so we were sat right away. I ordered the Baked Brie--soooo good, you've got to try it! For my first drink I ordered the Spanish Inquisition, it was alright. However, I was intrigued by the spiciness of the Spice of Life drink so I ordered that one next. Very unique as it had sriracha in it, definitely didn't pair well with my entree but it wasn't bad. I wish I would've ordered the Pachuco instead but maybe for the next time!

    Great service, fantastic food. Ambiance is a bit romantic and dark, was there with a buddy. Would definitely return for the short ribs.

They have a really nice outdoor seating area,complete with heaters when needed. We chose to dine inside. The vibe inside the restaurant was kind of a boho rustic feel, and I really liked it. Soft lighting and music really set the tone. We were immediately greeted by our server, Gustavo, and given our menus. We don't drink, but they had a nice selection of drinks, cocktails and spirits. We decided to start with the sweet and sour cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious! Cauliflower battered and fried and tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. For our entree we shared the 44oz Creekstone ribeye. It was served with charred broccolini and and a fried airy potato side dish that was out of this world! The steak came sliced and off the bone, so it was perfect for sharing. It was served with 3 toppings; a horseradish sauce, a balsamic glaze, and delicious mixture of sliced peppers. Our steak was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. We did not have dessert there, as we had a birthday cake at home. And I feel remiss that I didn't even look to see what they had. Overall, it was the perfect place to have a romantic, celebratory dinner! Thanks Driftwood. *Just a Note ~ I found it odd they added a 20% tip on a 2 top table, and I was glad I noticed it on the bill before we double tipped.

A few of the things I liked.. - Fruit juice used for mixers is made in-house fresh daily. The drinks are creative and made well. - The sweet and sour cauliflower, the sliders, the chicken and dumplings. - Servers are always knowledgeable and attentive - indoor and outdoor seating with fans on a warm day. Upscale vibe with dim lighting. - plenty of parking A few I didn't.. - The fish dip was just ok - the fried part of the southern fried chicken while juicy on the inside, lacked flavor - the up charge for almond vanilla milk in the espresso martini without being told up front of the added cost -the steak tartare happy hour portion is 1 bite-sized piece. Just offer the normal sized portion for a reduced happy hour price as opposed to 1/4th the portion for 1/3rd the price. Overall I would say every experience is good but not great. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try and seeing if you agree with my review.

The staff immediately attempted to seat us at a regular non reserved empty table in the rear of this dirty dive bar. Other tables close to the venue were all allegedly "reserved" with a sign. Strange they were never used except by people that didn't pay and just walked in after the band started to play. My wife and I would have immediately walked out but of course there was a No refund policy. (Now I understand why!) I was totally humiliated that I was scammed. I realized that if my wife and I didn't reserve a table and just showed up to eat the staff would have seated us at the exact same table! So to do damage control I actually had to take it upon myself to change tables closer to the dance floor to get what I paid for and reduce the embarrassment. We ate dinner and left. In addition the tables are dirty and sticky. Do not patronize this location at all cost!!
