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.

We arrived early and then watched a steady stream of regulars come in... many greeting the waitstaff with hugs... always a great sign. Simply and tastefully decorated with a playful nautical theme. Comfortable. Since they're known for lobster, we ordered a couple of their 1.5 lb Steamed Lobsters with Baked Botatoes and Cole Slaw. The lobsters were hard-shell and perfectly steamed. Both of us enjoyed them, though they fell slightly short of the great ones we typically get at our favorite Boston spots... still very good. The sides were excellent. Our guest ordered the Eggplant Parm and said it was excellent. Dinners come with Soup or House Salad. I upgraded to a Caesar (+$3)... basic, but very good, with a dressing I really liked. Also tasted the Fish Chowder, which was very good as well. Bread was good. A wet nap was provided. Drives me crazy when I see this for lobsters, ribs, etc. I feel a proper hot wet towel would be more appropriate. Service from Brittany was excellent. RECOMMENDED

The food was delicious - 3 of us had the fish and chips and we all loved it. Done perfectly - and the fish was fresh and moist. The reason for a 4 and not a 5 is two fold. The prices are a bit high. But I guess the location can get the higher prices. The other was where we were seated. We were outside but near a metal ramp. The work staff repeatedly came by with metal carts and made no attempt to go up the ramp slowly or quietly. The clanging was loud enough to stop our conversation every time. I will most likely go back but I will be sure not to sit next to that metal ramp again!

Better Than Ever -- and I Didn't Think That Was Possible…read more I'll be honest -- when I heard J&J Seafood Bar and Grill on Atlantic Avenue had changed hands, my heart sank a little. I was a devoted fan under the previous owners and couldn't imagine it getting better. I was so, so wrong. The new owners haven't just maintained what made this place special -- they've elevated it into something truly remarkable. The moment you walk in, you feel it. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and alive in a way that makes you want to linger. They've created a space that feels like a genuine gathering place, and that's a rare thing to find. Now, the food. I ordered the mixed seafood grill, and it was simply spectacular -- fresh, beautifully prepared, and cooked with real care. Each bite reminded me why seafood on the coast should taste like this. And just when I thought the meal couldn't get any better, the turtle cheesecake arrived for dessert. Absolutely divine. Rich, indulgent, and the perfect finish to an already perfect meal. And then there's Chelsea. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely delightful -- the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular from the moment you sit down. She perfectly embodies the spirit the new owners have created here. To my fellow South Florida neighbors -- whether you're in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, or Deerfield Beach -- do yourself a favor and get in here now while the off-season means you can actually snag a table. This gem on Atlantic Avenue is the real deal, and once word fully gets out, you're going to wish you hadn't waited. J&J, you've made a lifelong regular out of me all over again.

The husband-and-wife owners are clearly hands-on... stopping by tables, checking in with guests, and keeping a watchful eye on everything. It's obvious they care and truly want you to have a great time here. I called for a reservation and it was basically sold out... when they said they could take me at 5pm, I grabbed it. Was actually perfect as I was heading over to see the tennis tournament after dinner. On arrival, the place was empty. As expected, when we left, it was completely full. A half bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay was perfect with my lobster. The wine list isn't extensive, but it's well chosen and fairly priced. The food was excellent across the board. A special of Scallops, Crab Cake, topped with Shrimp over Vegetables was fantastic. My guest enjoyed the Clams Oreganata. I loved my Baked Stuffed Lobster (stuffed with crab), served with amazing Mashed Potatoes... and bonus points for a real hand towel after the lobster. Of course, I had to try the key lime pie... very good. Now I understand why this casual, unassuming spot is so popular... it hits on every note. I noticed a bunch of regulars dining at the bar, which looked perfect to me. The bar is walk-in only... so next time I don't have dinner plans, I'll remember I can just walk in and try for a seat. I'm sure I'll see two familiar faces... the owners, Anthony and Christine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was on a date with my guy and our entrees were both delicious! The sweet potato crusted grouper was just incredible! Loved the flavors and how well the dish prepared. The shellfish pan roast was art on a plate! It had Lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels swimming in a tasty brandy infused tarragon tomato sauce. All the seafood was cooked to perfection and the creamy sauce made this dish really stand out. Although the restaurant lacks ambience it makes up for it with their incredibly fresh seafood!

We had the tuna tacos which were super dry and tasteless, the po boy which was also extremely dry and lacking sauce and tasteless, Ahi tuna dinner entrée (cook cooked perfectly, but also barely any flavor) and two appetizers, which were the star.

On the whole he did a good job but there were mixed reviews from the group. Let's start with the location....it was a bit hard to find because the building is located behind a Publix shopping plaza. There are a few parking lots around. It's hard to know which door is the entrance. It turns out it's the Red door. It's a small stand alone venue. Very coastal - remember it's basically a fish place. There is a bar that you can eat at or at tables and chairs along the perimeter. This is a fun casual place. Expect to wear a bib and have paper tablecloths. Get your anger out on the shellfish as you hammer the shells off and use your hands in many cases to pull out the fish. All equipment is provided to get the job done. You ARE working for your dinner. One of the neighbors does not eat fish so she was able to get a grilled chicken. Unfortunately, it came out too spicy and she couldn't eat it. Waylon didn't come out to check on us to see if everything went according to expectations. However, to make it up to her, he took it off her check. One of us ordered a beautiful piece of salmon and sides. That was impressive and delicious. I had the PACIFIC CLAMBAKE.. Dungeness Crab, Snow Crab, Shrimp, Corn & Potatoes Admirals. It was a very generous portion. My husband started with French Onion soup and a crab cake. That was a "WOW". All crab - no filler and so delicious. I'll come back to eat that next time. Also I saw a couple of girls eating sushi at the bar and they said it was amazing. It's served on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I would also be very interested in that. None of us had room for dessert. The prices were very fair also. This was a nice change of pace to eat at Riggins. It wasn't overwhelmingly crowded at this time but I know it's crazy on the weekends even for lunch. You should call to make a reservation. And leave your phones home because there's no room for them on the table, and you'll be too busy working to eat your food. lol

We all selected our dishes, and without any issues, they were all brought out. No one had to wait for anyone's dish to come out, they served everyone at the same time and made sure we all had exactly what we had ordered and needed. This time I went with the Branzino with the spinach risotto. And just this dish earns them 5 stars again. Really a great place to come enjoy great food, relaxing atmosphere and excellent service.
