4 /5 Michael Perry: ââââ 4/5
The Blind Monk â West Palm Beach, FL
We had a really enjoyable night at The Blind Monk in West Palm Beach. The space itself is gorgeousâvery green, stylish, and modern with a chic, slightly industrial/warehouse feel. It has a lively, fun vibe that makes it great for a night out, though I can see how the ambiance might feel a bit cool or minimalist to some diners.
Food & Menu:
The menu is fantasticâcreative, well-curated, and full of dishes that feel refined without trying too hard. Overall, the food was excellent. Our top three favorites were the cauliflower, smashed cucumbers, and the fried chicken dish. All three were big standouts, beautifully seasoned and balanced. The chicken especially was tender and well-prepared, and the cauliflower had great texture and flavor.
Some small misses: a couple dishes came out at a lower temperature than ideal, which took away from otherwise well-executed plates. Service also had a few hiccupsâdishes werenât swapped out between courses, and after the fried chicken course, it wouldâve been nice to have moist towels provided, especially since itâs a hands-on dish.
Drinks:
Both the wine and mocktails were excellent. The Cabernet we ordered (Bloodroot) was delicious and paired well with the meal. The mocktails had great flavor tooâbright and refreshingâbut one arrived only half-filled, which was a bit surprising for the price point.
Dessert:
The angel food cake was hugeâdefinitely generous enough to shareâand visually impressive. But flavor-wise, it wasnât anything special and didnât quite match the creativity of the savory dishes earlier in the meal.
Overall:
Despite a few service and execution misses, we really enjoyed our night here. The food is inventive and satisfying, the drinks are on point, and the space is beautiful. Weâll definitely be back again.
