Best Date Night Restaurants in Parkland

This was our first time visiting and we will definitely be back! Nice vibe, very attentive service and good food. Between us, we had seafood risotto, French onion soup and steak frites. The steak was cooked perfectly (med rare) and the fries were nice and crispy. They needed salt but that was quickly remedied. The risotto was plentiful with mussels lining the rim and jumbo shrimp in the center. Very flavorful. The French onion soup had a thick layer of lightly browned Gruyère and was the best we’d had in years!! Looking forward to our next visit and trying other menu items…alongside the soup, of course.

Very good food and service was very good as well. A little too cold on the bar side.

I live in Chicago but come down to the Boca area frequently over the winter months and am unfamiliar with good ethnic dining in the area. It was our first visit to Rafina's Greek Taverna, and we had an excellent experience. Though the OpenTable site showed reservations available only at 7:45 or later, we thought to arrive by 7 to see if there would be walk-in bar seating available. Instead, the hostess was happy to seat us in the lovely enclosed outdoor patio, overlooking a pond. Then menu of Greek specialties was extensive, and my partner chose an entree that was served at the next table that the diner said was delicious, the chicken kebob with a side of tzatziki. The cubes of chicken were enormous and moist, with tomato/green pepper/onion in between. I had the Rafina chopped salad that included shredded, well seasoned chicken, with a side of gigantes. A very generous serving of the salad with my favorite ingredients that was enough to bring home half to enjoy the following night. The gigantes were simmered in a delicious tomato sauce, served steaming hot. Very pleasant, attentive server. Our only (minor) criticism was that the greek salad that my partner added as a side to his entree was served immediately which was fine as he likes to eat his salad first. But no sooner than the salad was served that another server brought our entrees. It felt rushed, and by the time my partner ate the salad, his chicken kebob was room temperature. Knowing this, next time - and we will be back - we will ask for more time between salad and entree, as we prefer a leisurely dinner.

I went there for Valentine's Day dinner and was blown away. Everything was perfection! The food was incredible, the server was wonderful, even the romantic playlist was perfect. We had a wonderful time and will certainly return for future date nights and celebrations. It really was perfection and I don't know when I can say that about another dinner out. I can't say enough good things. I ordered the short ribs and they were so soft I didn't need a knife. It was cooked perfectly and delicious. My husband loved his salmon as well and everything from the appetizer to our drinks was perfectly made and served. Our server was a lovely older lady who was perfectly attentive without coming by too often. She was a FANTASTIC server and really pushed the experience over the top. This was an 11/10.

Great lunch with friend. Challah schnitzel delish. Portions generous. Comes with choice of accompaniments. Homemade chips beautiful but not as fresh as stove to table.
