With a lot of food and fundraising events on the calendar (love those!), we thought we’d share.
Bringing aid to pets in need: Oak Bistro and Wine Bar
At Oak Bistro and Wine Bar (11051 Southern Blvd., Royal Palm Beach, 561/753-6217) on April 23, from noon to 2 p.m., you can have brunch and a complimentary mimosa or Bloody Mary—as long as you bring in a donation to help the furkids at Christie’s Critters & Pet Haven Rescue. The items most needed are pet beds, toys, towels, sheets, bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels and trash bags. If you bring in a case or bag of Life’s Abundance Dog or Cat food, you get bottomless mimosas. Help save pets, and eat and drink well, too!
New restaurant Jardin added to Clematis Street scene
Opening on April 25 in downtown West Palm Beach is restaurant Jardin (330 Clematis St., 561/440-5273), from newlywed chefs Jordan Lerman and Stephanie Cohen (pictured). They will feature everything from appetizers to entrees, dessert and after-hours selections. They use locally sourced ingredients and will change the menu with the seasons. Dishes are from $8 to $38. Both classic and creative cocktails are on the menu, too, along with local craft brews and a wine list. Lunch is served daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; dinner served nightly starting at 5 p.m.
Florida photo exhibit, fundraiser: Oceana Coffee
Stop by Oceana Coffee Lounge (150 N. US Highway 1, Tequesta, 561/401-2453) and take a gander at the artwork by Florida nature enthusiasts, Benji Studt and Sam Farkas, on April 29, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. These photographers are donating 10 percent of the sales from their artwork, along with Oceana’s restaurant sales that night to Friends of Jupiter Beach, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping Jupiter’s beaches clean and dog-friendly. Oceana Coffee Lounge is known for small-batch specialty coffees. Owners Amy and Scott Angelo roast all their own coffee and have a large, popular, well-deserved fan base.
Continuing the history of cocktails on April 25 at The Old Arcade inside Caffe Martier (411 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, 954/410-3177) is Mixology 104, focusing on the Tiki Movement, with cocktails Corpse Reviver #2, the Zombie and the Mai Tai. At $40 per person, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., you get a history lesson and some tasty drinks.
