GROMMET'S TAVERN & EATS in JUNO BEACH

From the farm to your table is the concept of the new restaurant, Grommet’s Tavern & Eats which was recently opened in Juno Beach, Florida. The name is a twist of two words, Grom, a local term that young surfers are called and Gourmet, hence the name Grommets’.

Kerlin is a strong believer for protecting and supporting the environment all while enhancing local farms and fishermen in our South…
