sammy's @ the grove

last time i was there it didn't get busy til early evening, which is when they moved "the show". gypsy kings were there playing, which is about the only reason we stayed as long as we did. --- left and went to Houston's for dinner.

Very nice

A couple of places might be Sands Harbor just north of Atlantic in Pompano and Banana Boat in Boynton Beach south of the inlet.

In the last few years I and some friends enjoy the Waterway's Cafe just north of Singer island Palm beach. Plenty of dockage. No shortage of cool places in that area. I'm sure sprink knows. Lauderdale has lost its appeal to me with the exeption of The Southport raw bar and the Bahia Cabana. But then again if I was anywhere in Fla I wouldn't, cry, as its a cold snowy day in NE.

You are correct...Waterway cafe is a safe bet in North Palm Beach County. We used to keep our 40' Sea Ray ate PGA/Soverel Marina just north of PGA Blvd and stopped at Waterway Frequently...also Panama Hatties across the ICW if your in the area. I prefer the "inside" boating in Palm Beach Co. to Broward...The ICW South of Boca to Hollywood is now no more than a no wake zone 50 mile long ditch.

" 50 Mile long ditch " Well said.

I like the area in an around Hillsboro Inlet and Whiskey Creek south of Port Everglades...but over the past several years with all of the imposed restrictions it's a pain in the a$$. At least here in Palm Beach and down in Dade there are plenty of open areas you can stretch out when it's too rough to go outside.

You get south of the Camino Real bridge in Boca headed south you might as well be on a Pontoon Boat...you can't even get a decent sized power boat on a plane without some water Cop putting the "Stink Eye" on you and pulling you over.

Gas up and head through Biscayne to Gilberts, Sundowners, Sparkeys......Keys my friend

+1 some of the best boating in the United States is south of Rickenbacker Causeway all the way thru the Keys.
