Coming in at number 2 on the ’24 Top Ten is sleek, contemporary Meat Market in the Renaissance Boca Raton Hotel. This soaring, sophisticated space, overseen by chef Sean Brasel flip-flops expectations about steakhouses.
Tasty cocktails are perfect accompaniments to raw bar selections, appetizers and four outrageous varieties of sushi. Truffle Roasted Oysters Rockefeller with spinach/bacon/ Béarnaise; White Truffle Kobe Beef Tartare; Southern Style Crab Cake with corn succotash & pickled green tomato; Roasted Escargot in spicy chorizo butter; or house specialty, Wagyu Beef Dumplings with brown miso aioli.
Regardless of which steak cut you choose (including a 32-oz. certified Kosher Prime Ribeye), add a warm sauce (Marrow Butter, Bleu & Boursin Butter, Peppercorn Cognac, Wild Mushroom & Truffle) or a cold sauce (Jack Daniels-black chili-Garlic, Atomic Horseradish Truffle, Chimichurri). Signature dishes include Wagyu BBQ Short Rib with Boursin Polenta, “Red Dragon” sauce and roasted hazelnuts; and Duck & Foie – Duck leg confit/ orange duck demi-glace/warm foie gras/and Mandarin orange marmalade bread pudding. Or try Wood-Grilled Scottish Salmon with red wine-cherry butter.
Don’t miss great sides: Gouda Tater Tots, Onion Rings with Jalapeño Ranch, Salt-crusted Baked Potato, or Truffle Cream Corn. Artful desserts include Strawberries and Cream, a cream puff fantasy, or a HUGE wedge of Double Chocolate Cake with bruléed marshmallow and a scoop of coffee ice cream!
