Best Waterfront Restaurants in Deerfield Beach

Lovely restaurant Reece was super helpful and even managed to get me fresh mint for my water! Enormous portions and delicious food

Food was absolutely delicious, especially the waygu beef gyoza and the fried rice. The service was also great, they made recommendations based upon the popular items to order and were always checking in

I live in Chicago but come down to the Boca area frequently over the winter months and am unfamiliar with good ethnic dining in the area. It was our first visit to Rafina's Greek Taverna, and we had an excellent experience. Though the OpenTable site showed reservations available only at 7:45 or later, we thought to arrive by 7 to see if there would be walk-in bar seating available. Instead, the hostess was happy to seat us in the lovely enclosed outdoor patio, overlooking a pond. Then menu of Greek specialties was extensive, and my partner chose an entree that was served at the next table that the diner said was delicious, the chicken kebob with a side of tzatziki. The cubes of chicken were enormous and moist, with tomato/green pepper/onion in between. I had the Rafina chopped salad that included shredded, well seasoned chicken, with a side of gigantes. A very generous serving of the salad with my favorite ingredients that was enough to bring home half to enjoy the following night. The gigantes were simmered in a delicious tomato sauce, served steaming hot. Very pleasant, attentive server. Our only (minor) criticism was that the greek salad that my partner added as a side to his entree was served immediately which was fine as he likes to eat his salad first. But no sooner than the salad was served that another server brought our entrees. It felt rushed, and by the time my partner ate the salad, his chicken kebob was room temperature. Knowing this, next time - and we will be back - we will ask for more time between salad and entree, as we prefer a leisurely dinner.

We enjoyed the experience. Jason was a gracious waiter, helpful and attentive. Salmon was perfect, vegetables crisp, chicken moist, pasta al dente, and everything was flavorful. I love sitting near the ever changing scenery on the Intracostal. I’ll go again.

Great food and great service. Very accommodating.
