Palm Beach Illustrated Magazine and CBS12 News took a poll to see which restaurants Palm Beach County residents suggest.

For the best date night, locals chose Dada in Delray Beach. Dada truly is the perfect date night spot because it's just all-around beautiful. The atmosphere is uplifting yet relaxing and totally romantic. The outdoor patio is surrounded with plants and trees that are wrapped with lights, there are more string lights intertwined with lace sheets overhead, and dim candles line the garden and sit on each table. The food is just as creative as this unique restaurant and you'll be sure to make a good impression on your date.

 A new safety feature, text-to-911, will be ready to launch this June in Palm Beach County. This option will allow people who are in danger and can't speak to text a dispatch officer and summon help.
