Moving on Up

Avocado Grill is set to open their doors at Downtown at the Gardens this fall, bringing their hotspot vibe to North Palm Beach County. Known for their farm-to-table creations and lively atmosphere, the flagship Datura location has been a popular hangout from brunch to late night for the past two years. Chef Julien Gremaud plans to bring new life to the former RA Sushi space with fresh, high quality food, and an energetic crowd. 

At the helm of the design is Saladino Design Group. The décor of the 4,200 square-foot floor plan will reflect the original Avocado Grill aesthetic with shades of green blended with modern and natural elements to create an earthy and airy space. The restaurant will feature an open kitchen for diners to enjoy the bustle of their food being prepared along with a large bar area. There will be outdoor seating to enjoy the people watching of Downtown at the Gardens just outside of the floor to ceiling doorways. 

The move north is exciting for the Avocado Grill team as they join a handful of chefs elevating the Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter culinary scene. Their artful approach to food and attention to detail and quality ingredients has generated a loyal following and local fan base, which is sure to grow. The opening is an exciting sign for residents as the foodie scene makes it way up from Miami and Fort Lauderdale. 

Two’s a Charm

Current patrons of Avocado Grill will be happy to hear that the lunch and dinner menus will mirror the Datura location with daily special Oysters, Ginger Guacamole, small plates like Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms, specialty Ceviche menu, Craft Tacos, inventive Salads and main plates like their Grilled Hanger Steak and Mussels and Fries. 

The vibrant energy of Avocado Grill will also make its way to the area with their spirited Sunday Brunch featuring breakfast items like AG Benedict, small plates like Burrata Salad, and desserts like Nutella Avocado Mousse. Their Happy Hour is sure to be a welcomed addition to the neighborhood with craft cocktails, as well as their Summer Bar Menu for discounted bites. Avocado Grill is also known for their theme parties and events with live music and DJs bringing more than just a dining experience. 

Avocado Grill should prove to be a powerhouse for Downtown at the Gardens, catering to foodies, health-conscious diners and boozy brunch aficionados alike. The shopping and entertainment center is currently home to Whole Foods and Cobb Theaters, making this a perfect spot with valet parking within a few steps and specialty retail and boutiques open for a post-meal stroll.
