Large, bustling and active, this establishment is a popular gathering place. Tiered seating is defined by curved partitions, and the rear glass wall of the huge bar provides glimpses of an enormous wine selection. Dark and seductive, City Cellar features a menu that concentrates on grilled seafood and meats. You'll also find pastas, salads, daily specials, and a grill menu that offers cheaper alternatives. Mussels, steamed with chardonnay and shallots, are sublime, and the wood-oven baked pizzas are crisp and smoky. The balcony dining area provides a great view of the courtyard, and the restaurant's outdoor bar draws a constant crowd of singles.

The Circle at the Breakers is THE place to go to for Sunday brunch. Sunday brunch has been a tradition for more than 25 years. Reservations recommended for Sunday brunch but not needed for breakfast during the week. The whole aura of the place is fantastic; there are fabulous ocean views, 30-foot frescoed ceilings, Renaissance-themed murals and more. Brunch specialties include bananas foster, country ham, prime rib and king crab legs. This will be the best breakfest buffet you ever have (and likely the costliest). Like other Palm Beach jaunts, there is a bit of a dress code here, so don't expect to roll in from the beach with a tank top on and expect a table.

Located in Lantana on the coast, Dune Deck serves up amazing ocean views while being consistently delicious with its menu. Open for breakfast and lunch during the week and full brunch on the weekend, there is plenty of time to enjoy the Dune Deck. With a fancy twist on the typical diner style menu, Greek salads and club sandwiches become works of art. For breakfast, enjoy eggs benedict with a side of home fries and for lunch, the dune burger is a win. The brunch menu has so much more than pancakes and omelets so go crazy and revel in the filet mignon and eggs meal.
