5 Stars – A Steakhouse That Brought Me Back in Time
I grew up in the restaurant world—my father owned The Cypress Inn, once the #1 steakhouse at the Jersey Shore. I spent a lifetime there (or so it felt), and it left a high bar when it comes to steak, service, and atmosphere. That kind of magic is hard to find these days.
But last night, for my 66th birthday, my wife took me to Flagler—and something remarkable happened.
The moment I walked in, the scent, the lighting, and the vibe reminded me of The Cypress. Even the tradition of men wearing jackets on a Thursday evening added to the charm. It felt like stepping back into something timeless.
The salad was chilled to perfection—crisp, fresh, and punctuated by sweet peas that added an unexpected crunch. I didn’t want it to end. My ribeye was outstanding: beautifully cooked, flavorful, and tender. The sides and dessert only elevated the experience. And our server—graceful, warm, and attentive—happened to be a former ballerina, which somehow just added to the elegance of the evening.
Flagler didn’t just deliver a great meal—it brought back a cherished memory and reminded me that there is still a great steak to be found in Palm Beach County.
Highly recommended
