Best Reuben in Palm Beach County.

The Corned Beef Reuben at Dixie Bar and Grill in Palm Beach County is delicious. Their Rye bread is firm, they have a double layer of sauerkraut, fantastic flavor to their corned beef and a thin layer of 1000 Island Dressing.

Check it out! The only thing I dont fully endorse is the coleslaw, it is a little on the bland side.

Dinner with the girls.

Went to The Living Room with the girls (B, Kirsten, and Nicole). They had never been, so it was great to share the experience. Plus they had some live music so that made it even better.

Appetizers: Duck drummettes and the Brie cheese plate. Both have a plum topping, and the drummettes have a little kick to their plum sauce. Delicious!

Kirsten: Crab mac n cheese with cheese on top and covered with panko bread crumbs.

Nicole: She started out with a Red Velvet flavored wine, and ordered a spinach salad with grilled chicken.

B: Vindaloo curry with chicken.

Me: Mexican salad with tortilla inspired chips, avocado dressing and grilled chicken.

They just switched out their menu and have taken off some items like the Stuffed Chicken, BLT salad, steak items, etc. But they have thrown in some humor and added a name twist to the wine selections...check it out!

Dinner at The Living Room.

A few days ago, I continued on my quest to try 1 more entree off the menu at The Living Room.

I ordered the Tomato Bisque soup as an appetizer and the BLT as an entree...now before you think sandwich, know that most things here come with a twist. This was a BLT but in salad form and it came with an Avocado dressing. The salad was good, my only issues were that the lettuce was in large chunks/strips and was sometimes overwhelming. Also, the dressing didn't have a strong Avocado flavor...which could be a good or bad thing. Overall, pretty good.

Dinner at Gratify.

Took Mama, Miss Sylvia, Eva, and Emily to my West Palm spot, Gratify. A great thing to do here is to order a bunch of small plates and share amongst the group, and seeing as how we had 5 people with 5 different ideas...it was a perfect way to dine.

We had the Risotto Balls, Veggie Burgers, Palm Cakes, Bacon Mac n Cheese, and Chicken Meatballs. The Risotto Balls are delicious--Risotto with cheese and it's coated and deep fried with a nice Aioli on the side. I would recommend if you want the Veggie Burgers and the Palm Cakes...pick 1. The only difference is the Veggie Burgers have buns and the Palm Cakes are just the cakes. The Chicken Meatballs were good, although I think out of everything, they may have been my least favorite...but not by much. We also had the Bacon Truffle Mac n Cheese, although I didn't partake. (They are known for their homemade bacon).

Overall, it was delicious and they are also well known for their eclectic beer selections. Check them out! Plus, afterwards you can go check out the new pier on the water.
