The Best Fine Dining In Delray Beach | Delray Beach Fine Dining

Miami may get all the attention for its esteemed culinary arts, or that rare occasion when Salt Bae makes a $300 appearance at your table to sprinkle sea salt from a height of 24 inches onto your waiting steak. While we don’t offer the same amount of glitz for the social media set, you can save a tank of gas and enjoy comparable fine dining right here in Delray Beach. 

Avalon Steak & Seafood

110 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444

Avalon Steak & Seafood, located right on the main drag of downtown Delray, takes a big city steak house and sends it on a Florida vacation. You can trade in the blazers for boat shoes and polos, but you’ll find the ingenuity and presentation that you’ll find at any high-end steakhouse in midtown Manhattan. Enjoy filet mignon or lobster tagliatelle in its bright and modern dining room that could make you forget any rare rainy days outside.  

Lionfish Modern Coastal Cusine 

307 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483

We love our classic seafood here in South Florida. Who could ask for more than a perfectly grilled grouper and a spritz of lemon? Well, Lionfish takes the comfort food that we’re used to and reinvents them in a way that is both novel and accessible. With dishes like tuna pizza, surf and turf sushi rolls, and Key Lime Pie Bomb (deconstructed Key Lime Pie) plated with the skill of talented chefs, Lionfish hits the spot for those of us looking for a true gastronomic experience. 

Cut 432

432 E. Atlantic Ave Delray Beach, FL 33483

Cut 432 strives to bring the best of the land and ocean to your table. While it has all the trappings of a modern steak and seafood house, their fine dining does not end there. The restaurant is renowned for accommodating the needs of its vegetarian patrons. We recommend the truffle macaroni and cheese, you will not regret it! 

The Atlantic Grille 

1000 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483

The dining room at Atlantic Grill brings a modern twist to the glamour of 1950s Miami Beach. Accompanying patrons is a giant fish tank with dozens of tropical fish on display. The moody atmosphere (a mixture of calming blue and purple hues) makes for the perfect spot for a romantic evening. Atlantic Grills is opulent with the right amount of restraint that would create a gaudy scene. Come for the seafood and stay for the live music and dancing. 

50 Ocean

50 S. Ocean Blvd, Delray Beach, FL 33483 

One of the best-kept secrets for fine dining in Delray Beach, 50 Ocean sits atop its second-story porch with a view of the Atlantic that few restaurants in South Florida can offer. We wish they offered brunch service, but the restaurant is open for dinner service only. The fare is American seafood, with a sprinkling of surprising delights like grilled watermelon and beignets.
