Mmm... Charley's Crab


Memorial Day weekend kicked off with a special dinner at Charley's Crab on Palm Beach. A staple for traditional dining, Charley's boasts one of the best beach views on the Island.

The menu isn't revolutionary, but Charley's provides an upscale, yet relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for a quiet date night or family dinner.

We started with "Dynamite Scallops," followed by caesar salads, mahi mahi & filet main courses. The scallops were the hi-light... a little rich, but worth the indulgence! 

Here's a few tips...

~ Preferred (window!) seating isn't guaranteed with a reservation... So grab a drink at the adjoining Oyster Bar and wait for the perfect spot. The strawberry basil caipirinha was delish!

~ Surprisingly, they have a pretty amazing Happy Hour Monday - Friday. $3-4-5 cocktails and $4-5-6 appetizers at the bar, 4 - 7 p.m.

Local Artist ~ DogFish Designs

Texas native Lea Barkley discovered her inner mermaid when she moved to Juno Beach over 8 years ago.  Since then, she has been collecting sea shells throughout the Palm Beaches, and turning them into unique decorative frames and mirrors perfect for any beach house or cottage by the sea.


Each is named after a beach or island in Florida, ranging from Key West to Captiva.  One of my favorites, of course, is comprised of seashells from my local neighborhood beach in Jupiter. 


Starting this week, the "Palm Beach" frame, above, along with many more of Lea's designs, can be found at "Coastal Home and Garden," located at 617 Northlake Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens.  Frames are also available on www.dogfishdesigns.blogspot.com.
