Choosing a home in a gated community like Broken Sound Club is as much about the lifestyle and amenities as it is about the architecture. The 2026 dining scene at Broken Sound is more impressive than ever following our massive $30 million clubhouse transformation.
I want to ensure you start your residency with a clear understanding of the elite flavors and social hubs that make this 5-Star Platinum Club world-renowned.

Gourmet Elegance and Modern Flair at Zest
Zest serves as the crown jewel of the freshly reimagined Main Clubhouse, offering a refined atmosphere that perfectly matches the sophistication of our luxury real estate market.
- Global Fusion Menu: We recommend trying the small-plate selections, which highlight fresh seafood and Wagyu beef, expertly prepared to satisfy even the most discerning gourmet palates.
- Intimate Ambiance: The interior design creates a perfect balance between an upscale social scene and a quiet, intimate setting for a celebratory dinner.
- Michelin-Standard Service: Because this is a flagship venue, the attention to detail from the staff reflects the global standards set by our culinary leadership.
Under the direction of our Michelin-starred chef, every meal here is treated as a culinary event, featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients and a level of service that is unparalleled in Boca Raton.
Casual Luxury and Social Energy at CIRQ Grille and Bar
CIRQ Grille and Bar has quickly become the social heartbeat of the community, offering an American-inspired brasserie experience that feels both energetic and effortless.
- Dynamic Theme Nights: We love the themed evenings, such as "Taco Tuesday" and "Ocean to Table" Saturdays, which keep the social calendar active for families and social members alike.
- The R-Blade Pavilion: The outdoor terrace is now anchored by a custom-engineered pergola system that allows for all-weather alfresco dining with motorized louvers for sun and rain protection.
- Prime Sports Viewing: With a massive wall of televisions, this is the top spot within the gates to catch major sporting events while enjoying elevated tavern fare and craft cocktails.
We find that after a round of golf on the Club Course, many residents gather here for a casual lunch or a high-energy "Lakeview Happy Hour" on Friday evenings.
Poolside Relaxation and Everyday Fare at the Bistro
The Bistro is located within our two-acre resort-style poolscape, providing a landmark location for those who enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle.
- Poolside Convenience: You can move seamlessly from your lounge chair to a shaded table, making it the most accessible of the best restaurants Broken Sound Club for families and sun-seekers.
- All-Day Brunch: We suggest visiting on Saturday and Sunday for the all-day brunch, which offers a perfect coastal weekend vibe without the need to leave the community.
- Casual Atmosphere: This is one of the few venues where daytime casual attire is the norm, allowing for a stress-free transition from the fitness center or pool.
I often recommend this spot to clients who want a quick, healthy lunch between tennis matches or a relaxed "Burgers & Brews" night on Mondays.
Traditional Grandeur at the 1401 East Old Course
The Old Course is a secluded golfer's sanctuary located just outside the main gates, and its dining venue, 1401 East, offers a panoramic view that is steeped in tradition.
- Panoramic Views: Every table in the dining room and on the newly installed greenside patio offers a front-row seat to the dramatic elevation changes and stone bridges of the Rees Jones-designed course.
- Exclusive Ambiance: Because access is limited to Old Course members, the atmosphere here is significantly quieter and more traditional than the main clubhouse.
- Refined Dress Code: We remind guests that 1401 East maintains a more formal dress code for dinner service, preserving the prestigious legacy of this championship-caliber venue.
The restaurant offers a stunning view of the 18th green, making it an ideal spot for a quiet brunch or a formal "Wine & Dine" evening.
Quick Pick-Me-Ups and Gourmet Coffee at Moonstone Café
For those mornings when you are headed to the pro shop or the spa, Moonstone Café provides the perfect crossroads for a quick pick-me-up.
- Early Morning Access: Starting as early as 7 a.m., it is the first venue to open its doors, catering to the "early bird" golfers and fitness enthusiasts.
- Nutritional Focus: Beyond coffee, the café offers healthy snacks and power-up options that align with the wellness goals of the Moonstone Spa and Fitness Center.
- Convenient Location: Its central placement makes it the natural meeting point for residents moving between the tennis center and the leading aquatic club.
I love the convenience of this "grab-and-go" style eatery, which serves freshly brewed java and a bagel breakfast every weekday morning.
