BLIND MONK – Mediterranean
A South Olive Avenue room in West Palm Beach that opens at five and runs to ten, six nights a week, with the first hour given over to happy hour. The kitchen cooks with a Mediterranean accent and a sense of humour: lamb meatballs under tahini and pomegranate, a stuffed roast eggplant listed as The Priest Fainted, a chopped liver plate with fig jam and cornichons. Pasta is a real strength, from barely simmered tomatoes over spaghetti to wagyu oxtail ragu with paccheri. Steak frites comes with tallow fries. Wine by the glass and cocktails run deep. Closed on Sundays.
