Avocado Grill is one of the newest restaurants in all of West Palm Beach. This self proclaimed "foodie paradise" offers up a unique blend of small plates, seasonal fare, a raw bar, great wines and specialty cocktails. Avocado Grill truly operates in a farm-to-table sense, locally sourcing the majority of all ingredients. Everything is supremely, noticeably fresh; this isn't your Chili's or Duffy's. Located on Datura Street in the heart of the downtown district, the eatery is steps away from the Intracoastal Waterway. Grab a few intimate friends, and be some of the first to check out this hip new joint.

Kristopher's expert tip: Try as many of the small plates as you can, and prepare to eat a lot of avocado
