amazing date night at the beacon! happy hour / sunset is the best time to come. make your res a couple weeks out and sit outside for the best view! they have two outdoor areas - one on a covered but open-air patio, and one truly outside -- covered is best in case of rain. free valet parking... don't bother attempting the lot on a weekend. service was great! the bread is superb. warm, soft, buttery, flaky sea salt... cocktail shrimp are ENORMOUS and $2 each is the best deal in town. burrata and grilled fish sandwich were perfect. our star of the night was the key lime pie. MUST try! a great experience and would happily come back! read more

What a wonderful experience we had at The Beacon. Reading some reviews here, I was struck by what appeared to be some oddly negative reviews about the food, portions and prices. When we arrived, as requested we were seated outside with a beautiful, front row, unobstructed view of the sun setting on the Jupiter lighthouse. The food was nothing short of excellent. We started with the Burrata Caprese and the fish bites, then followed with the Yellowfin tuna Veracruz and the Cioppino Capellini. I tasted the tuna and enjoyed the cioppino myself and they were both substantially-sized, downright flavour bombs and beautifully plated. The cioppino in particularly nailed the balance of spice to create intrigue without approaching the point of overwhelm. They also managed to omit calamari on request, which I suspect wasn't easy. My companion ordered a hot tea with dinner as it was a bit chilly as the sun receded and this was forgotten. It was no problem but after asking the server to forget it as it was no longer needed, we were bombarded with apologies, offers of complimentary dessert and champagne. All were entirely unnecessary but appreciated. We accepted a single order of key lime pie to go, which I have yet to eat but is mouthwateringly presented. As we chatted with Anthony our server, we came to realize he was pushing through a particularly challenging service, but you'd never have known as he was absolutely delightful throughout. He was a high point. Admittedly, we are sober and while we did enjoy a couple of delicious mocktails, this does reduce the cost of a dinner out. I mention this because there was nothing untoward about the pricing of the foid we ordered, which was excellent. We all need to be more realistic about the actual costs of food and service. I will return to the Beacon for a special occasion in a heartbeat and would be delighted to be served by Anthony again. He was attentive, without being overbearing and simply fun. Note: the manager was also circulating, checking carefully on everyone's experience, including topping up water and the like. I also received a follow-up email before getting home, which was impressive. In summary? Excellent food, for the prices charged or any other and attentive, friendly service in a gorgeous setting. Compliments and thank you for a memorable experience to the whole team, front and back of house! read more

We went to The Beacon recently for happy hour and had a wonderful experience. One of the best parts is the flexibility to choose your own seat; we opted to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view of the Jupiter Lighthouse. The happy hour deals are amazing. Drinks were half price, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the house vodka (New Haven) was in my martini. For food, we indulged in the oysters--at $2 each, they are the best deal around, tasting fresh and just like the ocean. The shrimp ($2 each) were enormous, and the tuna appetizer and fish sandwich were also very good. It's clear they are upping their game because the food has improved significantly since our last. We will be back! read more

The Beacon - All this was $24 at happy hour!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

We arrived early in the happy hour time frame. We made reservations and sat at the kitchen bar. Our server Miss Annie was attentive and a pleasure to talk with. It was a nice spot to sit and watch the staff prepare orders for the restaurant. We selected the Thursday night oyster and shrimp special and had a few plates before we ordered the fried calamari and zucchini. The oysters were fresh and tasty. The shrimp were a bit overcooked. The calamari were fried perfectly and were crispy and delicious. We will definitely return! You have 2 hours to enjoy all the shrimp and oysters you can eat for $25 per person. Wine and beer are half price and they have a happy hour menu at reasonable prices. read more

We came to topside after a beach day. Not only was the view spectacular but Jake, our server was ON IT! He was great from start to finish!! Our apps and drinks were amazing! We will definitely come back! read more

We took an out of town guest here, mostly for its location. Our waitress was a gem and well versed in the menu. We expected better as far as food. The lobster bisque was more a broth with a couple pieces of lobster. Not a bisque at all. The charred broccolini was tough and tasteless. Even a sprinkling of salt would have improved the blandness. The duck "tacos": three tortilla chips piled with well cooked duck pieces. The spicy lobster pasta was tasty, even if it only held a few pieces of lobster. We noticed that most other guest were ordering sandwiches, which looked much better than our meals, but our guest is gluten free and they had no gluten free bread options. Doubt we will return. read more

What a great experience! Great cocktails, food and atmosphere. Our group made a reservation ahead of time, which was nice because you could choose where you sat. We tried the Amalfi Coast, Spanish Steps, and a Whiskey Sour for our drinks--they were delicious! The table shared oysters, which were great. For entrees, the table got Steak Frites, Capellini pasta, and Triple Tail Fish with whipped potatoes. The entire experience was delightful, highly recommend! read more

Bad food and service for the price. Much better options in Jupiter. Will not return unless something changes

This waterfront restaurant is gorgeous and it was the perfect choice for our large group to have the final dinner of our work trip. We were well attended to and by our friendly server and although we came in close to closing time due to a change in our schedule they were so accommodating. We started with the Seafood Plateau which comes with a beautifully chilled tower of Florida shrimp, oysters, tuna crudo and fluke ceviche. The ceviche was such a burst of flavor and the shrimp were extra succulent. Everything was as fresh as you can get. And the starter bread rolls are served warm and toasty and are not to be missed. All of their pastas come in an appetizer or entree size which is a fun way to be able to order more but I knew I wanted the entree size of the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni all to myself. I asked to sub the rigatoni for their handmade fresh tagliatelle which was a 10/10 call if I do say so myself. Our server did note that they don't usually accommodate this request but were able to do so because it was the end of the night but honestly I think they should put it that way on the menu because the fresh pasta was phenomenal and elevated the dish. read more

Topside at the Beacon was all and more than what we could have envisioned. The service and ambiance were top notch with a great view of the waterway and the Lighthouse! Great bartenders and servers along with a generous pour sure makes for a great evening! Will be back to visit next time we are in the area. Kudos to All! read more

I came here with a big group and the service was great I can't remember the waiters name with the red hair but he was absolutely fabulous. The manager went out of his way to make sure that our party was happy and they do have the best burger I've ever had in my life here. Will absolutely come back for happy hour and get that again, next time with my son. I will be back here 100 more times for the burger by no exaggeration. The location is also beautiful right in front of the lighthouse. Let me finish by saying I would not get the shrimp/oyster deal here. We didn't feel they were fresh or a good value. read more

Shrimp and oysters great price and delicious. Maui melts in your mouth Next time we will sit outside

So delicious! Was there for a birthday bash, the staff was fabulously professional, informative, and kind. Joe Namath was there and joined us for a bit and was SO NICE. The food was spectacular, I'm trying to recreate the farro salad! Ambiance was great, Perfect evening. read more

Where to begin! Reservations for 4 were mistakenly made at Beacon Topside (floor 2) despite our plan to eat at "Beacon" (floor 1). The Hostess manager was rude and condescending never suggesting there were two different eating venues despite using the same telephone number in the past. We planned to eat outside but were told not gonna happen. Next came the food. Three of us ordered hamburgers, never asked how we wanted them cooked, and they all came out burnt like hockey pucks. Two of our party wanted mashed potatoes as a substitute for French fries but the waitress told us sorry no substitutions and we had to pay $9 each for two small orders of mashed potatoes. My wife ordered a lobster roll for $39 and got a puny frankfurter roll with a small smattering of lobster, a ridiculously high price for what she actually got. At the conclusion of our meal when the waitress prepared our bills she presented us with a tablet, no paper bill and expected us to sign without reviewing...when given the opportunity we realized the charges were incorrect. Lastly she appeared indifferent to our complaints. This was a terrible experience and we want to save others from being ripped off and insulted. Save your money go elsewhere!!! read more

Very nice restaurant on the water. Lots of choices for everyone on the menu. For appetizers we got spicy tuna rice, calamari fritti, grilled octopus, chicken, and duck tostadas. My favorite was tuna rice. For dinner we got fish, and steak (both filet mignon and steak frite). When I tasted both steaks I thought the steak frite was more flavorful. We had the ferror rocher dessert which was delicious. The service was great very attentive. This is a place I would definitely return to. read more

We love the Beacon. Lots of options for dining, indoors and out. Bartender Cynthia Rodriguez is knowledgeable and helpful in choosing and refining your choice of a craft cocktail. We didn't eat from the Happy Hour menu, but it looks like one of the items is a $10 burger, so we will definitely be returning soon to try that. Thanks Cynthia! read more

We had Christmas Eve dinner there. It was the second time with the first being around the time they first opened. We didn't frequent the place and now I remember why. The food was good but not good enough for the price charged. It isn't a driving force that would cause us to return. The service was good but again not the level of attentiveness I would expect for the price. The neighboring restaurants offer you a very nice view of the intracoastal. Here, not so much. If asked, I would say it's IK but expensive. read more

Fun place to hang out after dinner with friends and family. Vibe is clean, laid back beachy. Good views, good service. We did not have bites this time but will go back on our next visit. Crowd is +30 Just fun to be out and about. read more

Beautiful place. Please please. Improve your quality of FOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great night celebrating our friend's birthday. Top shelf service with amazing food and drinks. We had the oysters and shrimp for an appetizer, very fresh tasing seafood. Highly recommend! Our server Julian was great as well. read more

We didn't eat here- just had a drink with a beautiful view of the water and lighthouse. Good server, not rushed, we both got a Hemingway which was good but they forgot the maraschino cherry which we were looking forward to- all in all a nice place to sip a drink, and enjoy the view. A bit pricey - read more

Giving it a four, however, if I could give a 3.6, that would be a more accurate score. The overall yelp score is in line with the truth. Parking was easy, either valet or there was a huge parking lot. We had a reservation. We were seated right away on the patio as we requested. The view is no doubt the best part. As beautiful as the restaurant was, the water and the lighthouse is quintessential Jupiter. Sit outside! We ordered a few cocktails and the grilled octopus appetizer. The Smokey and the Bandit old fashion (nice touch with the name!!) was perfectly made. I got the chancellor spritz and the watermelon/rosemary combination was excellent. Very well made! The grilled octopus was tender and very flavorful. A wonderful combination of beets, olives, potatoes and octopus. I wish there was more. There was a very small amount of actual octopus. I got the lobster bucatini. It was filled black peppercorn, butter, huge chunks of lobster claws and perfectly cooked lobster. Sadly the portion was extremely small. I certainly don't need a gigantic portion, but for the price, I expected more. My husband got the grouper. Again, delicious and flavorful but very small. It was fish and asparagus with nothing as a "base" like a polenta or potato. It was missing something. If we knew how small the portions were, we would have gotten sides or another appetizer. The best part of the whole experience was the dessert! Jennifer Woo is the pastry chef and absolutely amazing!! Her interpretation of these classic desserts was outstanding and most definitely the reason I chose 4 stars and not 3. GET THE DARK CHOCOLATE FOREST!! We will be back, we will just order more food next time. Oh! And our waitress was fantastic! I don't remember her name (I know it rhymed with Annie). read more

I tried to call the manager before posting. Charlie or Joe would have been mortified if they witnessed this scene (after a wonderful Easter/Birthday meal for 11 with an excellent server). We went to our Vespa scooter to leave and found it blocked in intentionally tight on all 4 sides with valeted vehicles. We had parked in a striped off pedestrian walk way as not to take up a proper space. My girlfriend hailed one of the valet parkers and asked him to move the Mini in the walkway so we could get out. He verbally confronted her very aggressively lectured her for some time and left saying "I'll let you out when I get around to it". We then saw him valet another car so we both managed to work the scooter out between cars. As we are driving away this valet runs at us screaming he has to check the cars for scratches. We were really shaken up after a otherwise great experience. As local repeat customers, we would be uncomfortable returning until the valet situation is resolved. read more

Great for events of big groups. Location is a really good location on the water. The food was OK nothing to write home about but not too shabby either. read more

Our waiter should not be serving people and he has no concern for treating folks appropriately. He made us feel like we shouldn't be there taking up his time. He misstated how the fish was prepared and took no responsibility for it being fried rather than sautéed although he replaced it with something else 40 minutes later. I've never returned food in my life but you couldn't even cut it with a knife. The same food was served to all 3 of us cold, over done and fishy tasting, not fresh. Everything he did was perfunctory! He left us for long periods of time although the final straw was when he dropped off the desert menus (he said we're on the house in recognition of the poorly prepared entrees) and left and never returned. Another waitress, Georgia, literally ran over to make sure our orders were taken and let us pay our bill. We never saw our waiter after he gave us the dessert menu. Some things like the poor kitchen job on food prep were not his fault but the two and 1/2 hour dinner with massive gaps in service and his attitude were all his. read more

Love the new menu but portions are SO small. Would need to spend $300+ for two people to leave content. Drinks were creative and tasty but not much alcohol.

Our first visit here - valet parking & reservation recommended. A beautiful view of the Jupiter lighthouse, ambiance is beautiful. We ordered the steak tartare as appetizer, prepared perfectly. Our entrees: Lobster Bucatini, grilled swordfish & bone-in pork chop. We shared them all & they were cooked to perfection. We couldn't resist dessert so ordered the Meyers lemon & carrot cake, both were delicious but the Meyer lemon was the best I have ever had. While it is a bit pricey, this is a special place for dinner that you will not soon forget! read more

It was our first time dining at The Beacon in Jupiter. Right across from the Jupiter lighthouse. The views were spectacular. The service is okay and the food was not up to the mark. It was taking a while for the food to come out. All three of my dishes were over cooked. Still worth a try if you are around the area. read more
