Lynora's WPB — Restaurant in West Palm Beach

Wonderful service. Very impressive as far as it goes. BUT… I am considerably UNIMPRESSED with the quality of food being served. PRE FAB FROZEN CALAMARI as opposed to fresh. DRIED OUT CHICKEN in their Rigatoni al Pollo. OVER COOKED SHORT RIBS where gentle braising is called for. AND…they are unable or unwilling to create separate checks when taking care of a larger table of 8 persons or more! It takes very little to ask at the beginning, when taking the orders…” Will you be requiring separate checks?” And then CREATE THEM AT THAT TIME! VERY LOATHSOME BUSINESS PRACTICES, THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN A PUSH IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION to fix what’s wrong. Ie: Better concentration in the kitchen. Purchasing FRESH MERCHANDISE AS OPPOSED TO FROZEN! And making a teensy bit of conciliatory gestures towards accommodating a large table with separate checks! ALL EASILY DONE but requiring discipline, courtesy & a modicum of BUSINESS SAAVY! Pricing is over the moon high for the quality of their culinary talents & frozen foods! I must admit…I did enjoy my fried Calamari. But the sauce was far from homemade & the calamari were rings only…so I KNOW THEY CAME FROZEN NOT FRESH, or I’d have enjoyed the tentacles as well! Lynora’s could be great if the value /pricing would match what you receive…BUT IT DOESN’T & therein lies the rub. Try it & see how you feel. I’m going by how a few of my friends felt. Others had gotten the salmon & thought it DELICIOUS. But it too, looked like it was a FROZEN VERSION, not fresh as the price tag might have led one to believe! Would I return? Yes. I loved my Espresso Martini at HAPPY HOUR pricing! And I certainly did enjoy my calamari. THAT…was reasonably priced. But if those are the only 2 appealing things I could think to enjoy? I’d go strictly for ambiance, impeccable & friendly service & to just eat my calamari in peace… provided I COULD TEACH THEM HOW TO MAKE A DECENT ITALIAN...

On a beautiful Sunday morning, my girlfriend and I decided to hit the gym before indulging in a delightful brunch at the iconic Lynoras on Clematis. As locals, we knew this place got busy, so we stopped by in person to request a reservation for our party of six.

To our surprise, the hostess assured us that reservations were unnecessary, and we could simply come back at the desired time for seating. Skeptical but willing to trust her, we went home to get ready and met up with our friends. When we returned to the restaurant, I approached the hostess stand to remind her of our earlier conversation.

However, she seemed perplexed and denied having advised us against a reservation. It was an awkward moment, as she avoided eye contact and acted as if she were the one who had been wronged. Thankfully, Jasmin, another staff member, came to our rescue. She handled the situation with grace and professionalism, swiftly finding a spot for us inside.

Jasmin's impeccable service and warm demeanor turned the situation around, ensuring we had a wonderful dining experience. We savored the delicious food and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere with our friends, thanks to her efforts.

Lynoras on Clematis holds a special place in the hearts of both locals and tourists, known for its vibrant energy and second-floor venue for private events. Jasmin's dedication to taking care of her fellow locals exemplifies the restaurant's commitment to exceptional customer service.

In the end, despite the initial confusion, we left Lynoras with smiles on our faces, grateful for Jasmin's exceptional service and the delicious memories created. Thank you, Jasmin, for ensuring our day ended on a high note, making our visit to Lynoras...
