Description

The Palm Beach Gardens restaurant boom of late makes you wonder what it takes to keep a restaurant going through 28 years of economic highs and lows; it must've been a lot easier when Café Chardonnay, opened in the early 1980s, was the only game in town. Owners Frank and Gigi Eucalitto might call the place Café Pinot if they had to do it today, but they've changed the menu and décor at Chardonnay only enough to keep the regulars from falling asleep over the lobster bisque. Nightly specials of Continental/New American dishes might include grilled filet mignon with rosemary potato gratin and a cabernet reduction. To wash all this down: an extensive wine list, a sommelier's suggestion of 30 wines under $50, and a half-dozen wine flights, along with many wines by the glass.
