Pagoda Kitchen
There’s a new Chinese concept in west Delray. The legendary Burt Rapoport has teamed up with award-wining chef Bryan S. Emperor to bring dim sum and classic entrées to the Delray Marketplace. Think peking duck, sticky spare ribs, wagyu potstickers, pork belly bao buns, chow mein and imperial fried rice among many other options.

Maxwell’s Plum
NYC’s iconic lair has found a new home. Jenny Oz LeRoy, the great-granddaughter of Jack Warner (of Warner Brothers), has reinvented the original concept and brought it south in an effort to blend her life as an equestrian and her love for hospitality together. Sharable snacks include deviled eggs, wagyu steak tartare and oysters Rockefeller. The menu also features a raw bar, pizzas, steaks and a few specialties like The Plum Burger and spaghetti carbonara.
