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.

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