Lunch and dinner are hardly a bargain at Ta-boo, one of Palm Beach's longest-lived restaurants (opened in 1941), but it's a great place to soak up a little history and listen to the rustle of money. Legend has it that the bloody mary was invented at Ta-boo to help Barbara Hutton recover from a hangover, and notables, from the Kennedys to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, have swarmed the place year after year. Faux royalty and celebs still hang at Ta-boo for the perfectly dressed salads, Osetra caviar, dry-aged strip steaks, crabmeat cocktails, chicken paillard, and bacon cheeseburgers. As this lineup suggests, you're going for upscale, carefully put together bistro and bar food rather than seriously haute fare.
Since 1941, Ta-boo has been a bar and bistro for the well-to-do. Sinatra, JFK, and countless socialites have dined there. It's even said that the Bloody Mary was born at Ta-boo, stirred up to soothe a hangover for troubled Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. Considering its high-society credentials (and address), the fare at Ta-boo is refreshingly unpretentious — there are sandwiches, salads, and even pizzas. The prices, too, are surprisingly accessible: $17.50 for a salmon dinner entree; $12.95 for a bacon-topped cheeseburger at lunch. The decor is tasteful-Old-Florida-vacation-spot-meets-safari, with chairs upholstered in zebra print fabric and plants dripping leaves everywhere. Intricate woodwork adds a dash of Morocco or India into the mix. It's the perfect place to soak in the wealth of Worth Avenue without having to drop a month's salary on, say, a designer shirt.
Good food, good variety, friendly service..A price point for every budget. The best spot for people watching in Palm Beach. Ask for a table at the front window overlooking Worth Avenue.
