Love Was in the Air of Joe Namath and Charlie Modica's 'Charlie & Joe's at Love Street' Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Jupiter, FL (February 18, 2021) – Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street is now open! On Thursday, February 18, football legend Joe Namath and property developer Charlie Modica, arrived by boat at the Love Street dock to cut the ribbon and officially open their restaurant complex. The morning was a tropical shade of blues and greens. Something which Namath commented on when asked, ‘why did you and Charlie build this restaurant complex in Jupiter’, “I love Jupiter, the people and the history. And I love the blue skies. Blue and green is so much better for me than grey and brown.” The onlooking crowd all chuckled and had a common understanding to this comment.

Great friends Namath and Modica wanted a destination for locals and visitors to receive the best hospitality and culinary experience and to soak up Jupiter’s maritime culture, and historical fishing origins within the community. Modica passionately emphasized, “We wanted the fishing culture to continue, so we reserved six dock slips for them. It’s the only restaurant where you can buy wholesale fish in our wholesale fish market.”

The concept was first envisaged in 2011, when Modica purchased the property along the Jupiter Inlet. Construction on Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street began in 2019 with the complex designed to incorporate restaurant choices for everyone’s taste. Managed by Lessing’s Hospitality Group, the new Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street comprises of two restaurants – BEACON and Lucky Shuck Oyster Bar & Taphouse, a rooftop tapas bar - Topside at the Beacon, and a boutique seafood market – The Tacklebox Seafood & Supply Co. All are located in a prime position overlooking the historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. As one of the oldest family-owned, continuously operated food service companies in the United States, Lessing’s Hospitality Group has the experience to ensure that everything runs smoothly. They’ve proven themselves with the successful oversight of the neighboring Pelican Club.

Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street incapsulates not only the street name location but also the entire concept for this tropical paradise waterfront complex. The longtime friendship between Charlie and Joe and their mutual love of Jupiter, Florida has seeped into its every pore and even the outstanding food and drinks. Take a dream and a friendship then mix it with pure love for a seaside town and you have a winning formula.
