Serving lunch, dinner, drinks, and desserts, Valley Smoke is another hit in Palm Valley. We would say try them for lunch, but why not go for dinner, too? Yeah, it’s that delicious. Trust us on this.

Palm Valley Fish Camp

Since 2009, Palm Valley Fish Camp has rocked the seafood restaurants scene. Ben and Liza opened this place with a mission to bring fresh seafood to the amazing views of Palm Valley. And they did just that – offering the freshest seafood, incredible views, and old favorite entrees with new & creative twists – the locals know where to go to get that “getaway” feeling right in their own neighborhood!

It’s the oysters that have us in love. Or if you’re feeling brave, you have to try the fried gator tail with datil pepper aioli! There’s so much to choose from with their diverse lunch and dinner menus, and they never disappoint. You can tell the food is high quality and prepared to perfection. And don’t forget to leave room for dessert – the chef’s bread pudding is to die for!

Poppy’s Italiano

Poppy’s Italiano is a culinary gem that delivers major flavor and authentic Italian cuisine! Bring your appetite, because these generous portions will leave your belly full, but your heart will be begging for more! Poppy’s palate teasing appetizers and decadent dessert will give you the one thing you came for – a little piece of Italy!

Their menu has so many different options that it’s so hard for us to choose! With such a diverse menu ranging from pastas and baked dinners to chicken and seafood dishes, you’ll always be able to try something new.
