Food tasted like it had just been unfrozen. The waitress had a bit of an attitude.$128 for the paella was a ridiculous price. Don’t go.

My dining experience was awful. Food was fine but the staff was incredibly rude and and obnoxious. Could not believe I was paying for this night out.

Haven’t been to this place. But happy to try soon after we get vaccinated. I heard a lot of good things about the place. I read a one star reviewed base on the complication of website. Not enough to convince us not to go there. This four stars is for the owner and staffs who work hard through this tough time. Wait for us. We are coming soon.

I am a local and since coming out(vaccinated) I have been choosing restaurants on the basis of good food and outside dining. Well I went on Open Table to make a reservation and low and behold they requested a credit number and notification that if you were a no show or canceled within 48 hours you would be charged 30 dollars. Now I have heard of hotels and physican' offices doing this but never a restaurant. Also even with the above it is usually 24 hours. Even the golf courses here are 24 hours. Their requirements was overboard for a local restaurant. So I called, got an answering machine left my reason for calling and of course never received a call back. So for their lack of courtesy and response I have given them one star, only because the food is not bad. Yes I have eaten there on previous occassions. Also I never no show a restaurant. If I can not make it I call them.

My wife and I went for what appeared and expected to be a romantic dinner. We were encouraged by the setting and then the menus arrived and the wine list is narrow and absolutely exorbitantly priced. We expect to pay a premium but it’s insulting what they asking for the wines(4x+). We spilt the Parmesan Burrata. Very unique taste and pleasantly surprising. My wife had the Sea Bass and I had the Shrimp Alfredo. Both were good. My wife said she loved her Sea Bass. I was satisfied with the Shrimp Alfredo. It was tasty without an overwhelming creamy Alfredo sauce. We enjoyed our fellow diners but am sure it wasn’t worth the price paid.

Let me start by explaining how this review will work. This restaurant has set the bar pretty high by charging in excess of $40 for just about every entree. And in the $20 range for every appetizer. By doing so, it puts itself in the category of a 2-star Michelin restaurant one that you would expect impeccable service and impeccable everything. If that's what you were expecting when you come to this restaurant, you will be severely disappointed as we were. As an example, a two-star Michelin restaurant would not have paper napkins on the table and would not give you lawn chairs to sit in outside. To be generous let me start with the good news. The seafood Newburg entree, and the lamb shank entree or delicious in every way. The Chilean sea bass was of course delicious as it always is. The seafood lobster bisque was very good and the artichokes, though way over the top with regard to price, or also very good. Good news over. The burrata was poor. The rice and vegetables that came with the Chilean sea bass were tasteless and cold. The service quite poor. The servers solution for the cold rice and vegetables was what you would expect the solution to be at McDonald's not at a restaurant that charges $45 a plate. Nobody ever came over to check on us to see how things were. Again I would have thought in a high-end restaurant that the owner would have gone out of his way to check on us to see if we love things but no they were invisible I am quite sensitive to the issues that face restaurants as a result of covid 19. I am empathetic to their plight. And give benefit of the doubt for pricing all the time. But this restaurant was greedy and didn't pay attention to any of the details that you'd expect from an expensive high-end restaurant so although the entrees were good and some of the appetizers were good I feel like I am being very generous when I give this restaurant three stars

Dinner at Delray Patio was a delightful experience. This was my first time at the charming seafood restaurant. We were four people and we all had the tuna with black rice. It was cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable and the owner very gracious. I look forward to dining there again and if some of the entrees are a bit beyond your budget just enjoy an appetizer and a glass of wine. I heartily recommend this Delray Beach gem. Old Florida ambience and fresh seafood food for your modern taste buds is a winning combination
First selling point: Not on the Ave. Second: plenty of outdoor seating--like sitting in a garden. Third: chef owner and manager busting her a** to stay open to serve you. Last and most important: great food and service. Shared spicy dumplings that have a thin and delicate wrapper that show the care with which they were made. Chili oil and spices transport your taste buds to a neighborhood Asian restaurant in NYC. Two of my companions had the sea bass, over an Andean succotash that many reviews have raved about. They were right. Two of us had the Garam Masala rubbed tuna quick seared and rare (as I like it). I'm sure you could ask for it medium, but don't. So delicious. The spices form a nice crust, that delicately flavors the tuna--not overpowering. The wine list is fairly priced, but not extensive. I suggest planning your meal, bringing your wine and paying the $35 corkage. Or, just have a couple of expertly prepared cocktails and some glasses of wine like we did. Lily is the Exec Chef, Owner and Bartender. When you are there you feel and see and taste her presence. Thanks for a great evening in these crazy times.

Started off with the shrimp cocktail and the artichoke appetizer. The artichoke was my favorite! Then they brought us pita bread. Very good. We then ordered shrimp and lobster bisque so good! We also got the wedge Salad and the crab cake dinner. I loved the Vanderpump Rose too.

Probably the best food and drink I have had in the surrounding area.

The food was delicious, inventive, and fresh! Specializing in great seafood. We tried the scallops, crab cakes, shrimp pasta and sea bass. All were outstanding. The bread pudding is highly recommended for dessert. We visited twice in one week! Nice private patio surrounded by potted trees. Very safe Covid wise. Owner is the chef and very talented.Lets support our local restaurants away from Atlantic Ave! Don't let the credit card request for reservations deter you. Patio Delray is a GEM!

This place has the best food in Delray. The atmosphere may be quiet (due to Covid) but the food is to die for. They also make a mean dirty martini
