The new upscale restaurant, 1000 North, is now open for lunch with a menu to satisfy everyone's tastes. 

1000 North sits on the Jupiter Inlet offering exclusive views of the beautiful blue Intracoastal, Jupiter Lighthouse and boats passing by. It's got a different vibe than many eateries around town- it's chic, sophisticated and clearly for the elite with the highest prices in the inlet district. The celebrity founders of the restaurant wanted it to be an experience many people travel to Miami or New York to get (see here), and you can even pull up by boat to a 350-foot dock.

The popular teppanyaki restaurant, Benihana, has locations all over the country- but the closest ones to Palm Beach County were in Stuart and Coral Springs, up until last week. The corporation finally opened a sleek-looking new freestanding restaurant in Boca Raton so we can now enjoy dinner and a show right here in town.

The new location is 8,000 square-feet with 21 teppanyaki tables. (Teppanyaki tables are communal dining tables that have teppan grills on one side so you can watch the chefs make your plate fresh.

There's also a separate 30-seat full bar with the same menu just no show.
