Waiter was ok
Great service. Pleasant servers. Excellent food, presentation and taste
A Covid fee....... BEWARE!!!!!!!
Excellent service at the bar for NYE. Food was good and atmosphere was energetic.
Food was good. Our service was slow and we were annoyed when we were up against a 2 hour limit on NYE. Server was rude in her explanation as she delivered our dessert. 2 hours would have been sufficient had the food come out in a timely fashion.
Management handled the situation very well and treated us right in the end. Would go back - but prob not on any holiday.
New Year’s Eve ... apps were amazing ... then the dinners came out. None of us ate our meals because there was about a bottle of salt on each of the dinners. Like the salt shaker broke or something. I was with friend from out of town and quite frankly I was embarrassed
We had guest in for NY Eve and made a last minute reservation. Food was fantastic and the service was impeccable on a busy and bustling night. We were overly impressed with our dinner, as we always are at Racks. My seafood special was amazing!
Great food, waiter. Called day before and hostess guaranteed a table outside. 100% recommend
It was great. The only negative is that it was NYE and we felt slightly rushed because they wanted to turn the table one more time before their scheduled seating took place. Other than that it was great.
Everything was great from the ambiance to dining! Thank you to our waiters that evening!
Food was excellent! Drinks were great! Waitstaff was awesome! Really nice ambience! My one complaint is that all parties dining were not at all properly distanced. Packed in like sardines. Would not go back to this restaurant during the pandemic. I have been to many restaurants in south Florida that have followed distancing protocol and have always felt comfortable however this one missed the mark. We were seated approximately 1 foot from the table next to us. There weren’t any open seats at the bar. Had my family not been with me, I would have left.
It’s a tough time for everyone and we are trying to frequent our favorite spots in attempts to give business to great restaurants who have suffered during all this. May just do take out from here until things settle down. If you’re comfortable sitting 12 inches from someone, then definitely give it a try! Great spot.
Awesome food. It is the reason we dine here often.
Service was okay, unfortunately when being served our appetizers a wine glass was shattered and wine was poured all over someone in our party. Then again the water from oysters were spill on us as well.
There was no effort to make things right nor sincere apologies. Our waiter really did not care.
Bathrooms really need attention. Both men’s and women’s but men’s really bad according to 3 men in party.
It was a great meal. Our server was excellent. Busy with a vibrant crowd. A really great experience.
The scallops were AMAZING (though I'd hoped for a couple more for the price). Everyone at the table absolutely loved their food and we are all planning to go back. It was also freezing that day, but the heaters they have above the table had us all comfortable without our jackets, which was very surprising.
I have a gluten allergy and dairy allergy as well, and the waiter was able to help me choose something safe to eat.
Great food and aervicey
Beware: COVID Fee will be added to your check!
Gary Rack is adding a 3% COVID fee when you get your check. When I questioned the waiter what the fee was, he unapologetically said, "COVID". When I asked what that means, he said "Cleaning".
If Gary is that desperate to recoup the cost to keep his customers safe, he should increase the menu items by 3% rather than sneak a fee in at the end. And it begs the question, what kind of cleaning was he doing prior to Covid?
Quoting Gary Rack, the owner: "You can’t make everyone happy but it’s disheartening when you hear anyone is irritated.”
Gary, I'll save you future heartache and not return.
Christmas lunch was superb! Sushi was delicious and so was seafood dip!
Very good food and drinks mixed right on target. Server was very helpful. The place is a bit noisy, but we'll definately be back for more seafood.
Service was great.
I went for the sushi. They no longer have sushi.
Amazing food as always... favorite drink is the strawberry basil mule!!!
Service is perfect. The grouper was amazing.
Great food, great atmosphere, servers had great knowledge of the menu. I highly recommend
First time there in a long time. Had the chef special Mahi Mahi. It wasn’t very good. Cheesecake was good. I probably won’t return.
The lobster roll was very rough. All other dishes were wonderful.
Delicious oysters
Food very good, but noisy and crowds on the sidewalk.
I haven't been here in years so I had forgotten just how amazing the food and atmosphere was. Not to mention the wait-staff to great care of our party of 11.
We had such a great meal. So fresh and so spot on to what we were looking for. The service is awesome. We had Tess as our waitress and she was awesome! Good night, great meal!
One of the best meals I have had in Delray. Excellent service and food was amazing.
Very Tasty Food
The waiter was super friendly, responsive and professional
The oysters were great and my chef composed snapper entree was exceptional. My wife’s crab stuffed shrimp was odd. I wanted to like it but they did an odd smoking technique and the sauce was off putting. Also our server rushed us a bit. I’ll still give this restaurant another try but was a little disappointed that my second visit wasn’t as good as my first.
I just love the food here. Simply delicious. Oysters and burgers are great. I also like the martinis. Waiters are friendly and helpful; especially about oysters. One of my favorite Delray Beach restaurants. Great key lime pie also.
Dinner was amazing! We chose an assortment of things from the happy hour menu (great value!) and the dinner menu. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the fish tacos & the grouper meal!
Everything was great from food to service
We will definitely be back when we are in the are
Disappointing. The server was rude and largely absent. Poor COVID precautions that were noticeable. Charged COVID fees that were not disclosed until the bill arrived. Plus they charged for bread - ridiculous.
Friendly staff and the best fish tacos!
