If you’re looking for an unforgettable fine-dining experience in Boca Raton, TwentyTwenty Grille stands out as one of my favorite choices. While the atmosphere at the restaurant is casual the food is exquisite. Dining there creates a memorable experience. TwentyTwenty is tucked inside an alleyway in the Royal Palm Place but the food is front and center here.
From the moment you arrive, you feel welcome. You can choose between inside and outside seating as you can with most South Florida restaurants. For the best environment, definitely pick the outdoor seating. The host asks everyone whether you are celebrating some event which goes to show you how special this restaurant is.
While the environment is special, the cuisine is the main show here. Each dish is crafted with precision, creativity, and the freshest ingredients. Our waiter informed us that the chef suggests that you eat all the flavors of the dish at the same time to truly experience his creation. By doing so, the chef transforms familiar flavors into something unexpectedly delightful.
We started with the French Bread with homemade butter. If I had my way, I would have eaten a whole loaf of the bread. It was that good.
We ordered the Crispy Rock Shrimp as our appetizers and it was the best dish of the night. It was lightly fried and they blended the French Onion Dip in to create a delicious appetizer.
Following that, we were served a palate-cleansing sorbet that we were asked to name all 4 ingredients. I was happy to be able to identify one and my wife was able to get another one. I enjoyed it but I am so glad that I did not have money riding on getting all four flavors right.
For entrees, my wife ordered the Grilled Diver Scallops and I had the Mongolian Duck Breast. The duck was excellent and it had a surprising addition that I will have to order as a side. The Kung Pao Cauliflower. That could have been the surprise of the night. The Scallops definitely outshined the duck which is hard for me to say since I love duck so much.
Our one complaint is that the entrees were not piping hot. They were served luke warm. Our mistake was that we should have sent it back. This one issue did not really distract us from enjoying the meal but we would have preferred a hot dish.
For dessert, we ordered the Profiteroles which were the perfect ending to our meal. They are served 3 to an order. We ate them straight up. If there were 6, then we would have put all 6 away. They were so good and an ideal way to finish up our experience. But then how could you go wrong with anything that has fudge
Service at TwentyTwenty Grille is equally exceptional — warm, attentive, and personalized. The waitstaff were knowledgeable who made excellent recommendations and their interaction with us made us feel truly cared for throughout the night.
All in all, TwentyTwenty Grille delivers a dining experience that’s nothing short of spectacular. Whether you’re a local looking for a favorite restaurant to impress or a visitor seeking one of Boca Raton’s best meals, this spot offers top-tier cuisine, beautiful ambiance, and service that keeps guests coming back again and again.
