1000 North, Jupiter
Situated along the Intracoastal Waterway with an exquisite view of the Jupiter Lighthouse, 1000 North is an excellent choice for those ready to relax and partake in the finer things in life. Culinary director Lee Morris’ menu emphasizes elevated steak house fare with what he calls a “Southern, down-to-earth twist.” Take a seat, sip a barrel-aged cocktail or a sommelier-recommended glass of wine, and prepare for a world-class meal.
Begin your seaside supper with the bigeye tuna poke with chopped macadamia nuts and a hint of chili vinaigrette, along with the savory bourbon and hay-roasted oysters for a smoky start. Then, order a large plate of your choice: the Maine diver scallops with maque choux (a Louisiana-inspired smothered corn) delivers on that Southern flair Morris promised, while the grilled rack of lamb served with a perfect romesco sauce will delight any meat-eater. Finish it all off with a slice of tropical key lime pie or splurge on some super-addictive french fries tossed in truffle salt.
