Description

Superior service and outstanding eats anchor this comfy bistro; innovative cocktails and fruit-infused liquors, along with homemade desserts, elevate it. The menu changes, but spy on it for items like pan-roasted Mississippi quail stuffed with chorizo, corn, and manchego cheese on mashed potatoes with sherry wine pan sauce or French-fried chicken with chips with dijon mustard vinegar, micro greens, and chopped tomato.

The... More »
2000 | Best Fusion

Nobody cheered when Boca Raton's Nick & Max's restaurant, a joint effort between nationally known chef Nick Morfogen and restaurateur Dennis Max, went out of business less than a year after it opened. But the gastronomically minded were delighted to see both land on their ladles and were particularly thrilled to see Morfogen remain in the region, going straight to 32 East. Already a local favorite for fine dining, 32 East went up a notch when Morfogen took over the kitchen. His signature... More »

By Gail Shepherd | Thu, March 22, 2007
