So, I went there the other day with my son, who is my best person to try eateries with. I have been living here in Jupiter for many years and have been to Guanabanas on several occasions. Often, I just thought of it as a tourist place, mistakenly. We decided we wanted to lunch al fresco and thought give this a try.
Firstly, the parking is a little of an issue. They do have complimentary valet parking, but son doesn't like to give his manual transmission car to just anyone, so we parked a block or so away in the public parking in front of Schooners (another really good place to eat). Walked to the restaurant with no difficulty other than my partially torn achilles tendon, took it slow.
We checked in and had a little wait. We looked at the art they had for sale while we waited. We were seated in less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5. Had a lovely table next to the fence by the water.
Our waitress was lovely. She gave us plenty of time to decide on what we wanted. We ordered the Florida Gulf steamers by the dozen clams appetizer. It did not disappoint. The only thing is there could have been a piece or two of bread to lap up the buttery garlic parsley side dipping sauce.
I had the Crispy Po' Boy - Potato chip encrusted Florida catfish with tomato, pickles, pepperoncinis & remoulade. I asked to leave off the pepperoncinis. The sandwich was very nice, the remoulade did have a bit of a kick and I probably should have asked for it on the side as I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy spice. However, that said, the combination of the fish, crust, tomato, pickle and toasted french type bread was delightful. I would definitely order this again. Son had the Fat Cuban Pressed Sandwich - Slow roasted Cuban pork, ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. He said it was good, I did not taste it. Looked ok, pressed. Both came with house made chips. I thought they were a bit spicy and didn't eat them all, refer back to a few sentences above... son ate all his.
Service was prompt, the atmosphere was lovely, restaurant was clean. No complaints here. I'd go back. Maybe bring some tourist relatives...
