"Eyal Shani, who began in Tel Aviv, and caused a sensation when he opened HaSalon in New York, where guests danced on tables, expanded to Miami, and in December opened a West Palm restaurant of marble, metal, and cement, with a sprawling patio. The main room is dominated by a bar that faces huge charcoal grills, and it’s pure theater watching chefs sear fish, meat, and produce, as well as whip up hummus from scratch. Most diners start with the Instagram-worthy plate of vibrantly colored crudites and crisp falafel called “Nostalgia of an Old City Mezze.” Other favorites include chicken schnitzel filled with mashed potatoes, carpaccios (both roast beef and charred beetroot), and roasted squash steaks." - Beth Landman
