With a shift in season also comes a shift of focus as Palm Beach County eateries begin to cater to year-round residents. These seven restaurants are offering summer dining deals and specials you won’t want to miss.
1. True Food Kitchen, Boca Raton
Boca’s fresh-food haven will roll out a variety of vegan-friendly and gluten-free options on its new summer menu launching July 11. Holistic advocates and health-nuts will crave True Food Kitchen’s Korean noodle salad, responsibly sourced sea bass, and summer tacos (served with grilled fish or grass-fed steak, tomatillo-avocado salsa, pickled jicama slaw, coconut-lime yogurt, and Anasazi beans). Keep cool with lavender-coconut cold brews, watermelon mojitos, and blueberry-mint mimosas. (561-419-8105 )
2. Dada, Delray Beach
The weekend isn’t over until it’s over—which means there is still time for karaoke on Sunday night. Dada will host a Locals Karaoke Night throughout the off-season beginning at 10 p.m. on Sundays. In addition to what promises to be an off-beat (and likely out-of-tune) adventure, the funky American café will feature half-off all food, wine, beer, and cocktails. Menu highlights include watermelon “steak” salad, Dada dates, a seven-cheese grilled cheese, habanero-maple-glazed salmon, and an array of famously fresh mojitos. Snack, sip, and sing the night away.

Explore intricate pairings and expertly crafted culinary combos with 50 Ocean’s 2018 summer dining series. Beginning this June, the oceanfront restaurant will host four multicourse dining adventures.

7. The Regional Kitchen & Public House, West Palm Beach
If one were to describe summertime in the South, the following two themes would undoubtedly arise: potlucks and barbecue. To celebrate summer and honor deep-rooted traditions, The Regional will host two Southern soirees throughout the off-season. Every week get your fill of Eastern Carolina–style barbecue with Pig Pickin’ Tuesdays beginning at 5:30 p.m. Chef Lindsay Autry will prepare barbecue with all the fixings and your choice of three sides. Once a month, experience foodie fusion with Potluck . Each potluck will feature a guest chef who will work alongside Autry to create a special à la carte menu for each event. Upcoming guest chefs include Clay Conley of Buccan, Imoto, and Grato and Aaron Black of PB Catch (visit website for dates) . (561-557-6460)
