Gear up for savings as many restaurants initiate summer specials. In addition to $29 and $39 prix fixe menus, expect a wide participation next month when Flavor South Florida hits and restaurants add special lunch and dinner deals to their menus. For now, check online prices to see if your favorites are offering deals.
Quite a dustup happened online, after Le Rivage, a 21-year-old French restaurant in Boca Raton, shut its doors last month. In a farewell letter to customers, the owners blamed the closing on angry, rude customers who berated the servers, ran out on their checks and groused about the bread. “We hope this will make happy people,” they said in their post, “who wanted us to close … and told us this directly!”
A new gastropub, Pomona, opened in Lake Worth Beach last month in the former Callero’s spot on Lake Avenue at K Street. It was most recently the site of a Todd English restaurant, Lula’s. Pomona is owned by Alexandra Dupuis, owner of Ravish in Lantana. Inventive snacks (Cheetos chickpeas, guava cheese croquettes), salads and sandwiches (fried green tomatoes), and main shareables (miso corn bucatini carbonara) are on the initial menu.
