We finally got an opening for a reservation and thought we were in for a big taste adventure. However, small is one thing but the tables are so close that you would not be able to enjoy a conversation with guests so close. The fans were all on high and quite powerful to keep the room cool, but keeps the... More

YUM! YUM! YUM! Amazing food! Great friendly staff!! Did I mention delicious?! I had the homemade ravioli and my husband had steak. We wanted to go back the next day for lunch, but they're strictly a dinner place. Dessert was a warm banana tart thing-no further explanation required! We're taking our parents next week to share the love! Ps- We're... More

My husband and I were disappointed two nights ago when we dined at Jimmy's. We've dined here many times and have always enjoyed the experience. We left this time feeling less satisfied and felt like we were over charged for what we got. Our bill came to $95.00. That included 2 squash blossoms that we shared, a very small chopped... More

Jimmy's is a small, cozy restaurant with really good food. They put the menu up on a board behind the bar as it changes based on what's in season. The paella was delicious although perhaps a bit too much for one person. The house made ravioli was also delicious as a first shared between my husband and I. The wine... More

We were lucky to get a reservation as the restaurant is very small. It's fun and eclectic atmosphere. People come in and before seated look at a large chalk board of the menu over the bar Wonderful, local produce and being. A "foodie" I was skeptical but was wowed!! After the touristy Atlantic ave joints, this was quiet and welcoming.... More

Small and attractive in Delray Beach with a very nice menu. Service was okay, not fantastic. But the space is limited and it was full so not too easy to maneuver. The food was very good. Slightly pricy but nice for a special occasion.

Don't expect good service or anyone to even notice that you are there seeking a table even with a reservation. My girlfriend and I were ignored even after we explained that we had called with a reservation earlier that week. Food was good but poor service trumped the food. Disappointed...as my parents had recommended this place more than once.

This is a small restaurant just off Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach. This does not make it undiscovered. They have wonderful, inventive food, good wine and great service. Make a reservation if you are there in season. I can't wait to go back.
