Numerous elegant establishments offer upscale American, Continental, and international cuisine, but the area also is chock-full of casual waterfront spots serving affordable burgers and fresh seafood feasts. Snapper and grouper are especially popular here, along with the ubiquitous shrimp. Happy hours and early-bird menus, Florida hallmarks, typically entice the budget-minded with several dinner entrées at reduced prices offered during certain hours, usually before 5 or 6.

The Butcher's Club

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Located in the PGA National Resort & Spa, this eatery draws guests, locals, and tourists alike eager for a taste of its upscale cuts of steak and Macallan cocktails. Opened in 2022 as part of a resort-wide renovation, the swanky 1950's style chophouse is headed up by Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford. Black-and-white-striped floors and wood-paneled walls signal a return to a bygone era, while creatively composed dishes capture Ford’s whimsical approach to food. Crudos are a favorite here, with compositions like local tuna with green chili buttermilk yogurt and sugar snaps. The black truffle jalapeño poppers are a decadent treat. The selection of "Royal Cuts" includes a smoked rib eye and a Wagyu filet mignon, all of which pair nicely with Ford's sauces, like beef fat Hollandaise, and luxurious sides of creamy, herbaceous spinach and a blue crab mac and cheese.
