Lefkes Estiatorio
Having debuted in Athens in 2004, Lefkes has expanded to locations in Santorini, New Jersey, and now downtown Delray Beach. In addition to modernized Greek and broader Mediterranean fare, diners can order from a full-service sushi and sashimi bar, which offers eight specialty rolls and two boats. For a true Mykonos nightlife experience, visit on Friday or Saturday evenings to dance and sip a signature cocktail such as the Santorini Sunset.
Gabriella’s Modern Italian
Scheduled for a fall opening, Gabriella’s Modern Italian is an offshoot of New Jersey’s Gabriella’s Italian Steakhouse. Situated on Delray’s Atlantic Avenue and open for both lunch and dinner, Gabriella’s will serve upscale Italian dishes (hello, spicy rigatoni) in a luxe indoor-outdoor space centered around a circular bar.
Kasumi
Slated to open this month, Kasumi at the Waterstone Resort & Marina in Boca Raton is the latest venture from chefs Takashi Yagihashi and Jonathan Fox. It will boast waterfront views and an open kitchen, from which the culinary team will reimagine traditional Japanese cuisine for a contemporary audience. Given Yagihashi and Fox’s pedigree—the former is a Michelin-starred James Beard Award winner, the latter the mastermind behind several successful concepts—Kasumi is bound to be a bright spot in the burgeoning Boca dining scene.
Sugar Factory
Sugar rushes are on tap at the Delray outpost of Sugar Factory. Dedicated to decadence, this American brasserie knows how to set social media aflame with its over-the-top indulgences. Craving something sweet? Opt for the Cookie Monster Milkshake or the massive King Kong Sundae. If savory is more your speed, go for the gold—literally. The 24K Gold Burger is ensconced in edible 24-karat gold leaf and served with gold-flaked fries and a golden milkshake.
Penelope
Part of the Sub-Culture Group, Penelope opened in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park in June, bringing with it next-gen Cajun and Creole flavors with a distinct French accent. A long bar anchors this charming bistro both physically and spiritually. The bar program—crafted by co-owner Angela Dugan—features everything from botanical-infused cocktails to zero-proof mocktails, as well as global wines by the glass and beaucoup Champagne.
