LIONFISH — Selected by the James Beard Foundation as a “Smart Catch Leader,” Lionfish, which originated in San Diego, opened in Delray Beach featuring a menu focusing on sustainable seafood along with ingredients from regional purveyors and grassfed beef for carnivores. Not only has the meticulously designed room, an elegant study in coastal-tranquil chic, elevated dining in town, it’s made a mark on the environmental front by minimizing the amount of lionfish, which are known to destroy Florida’s coral reef. Take-home cutlery is made from avocado pits, rather than paper or plastic. lionfishdelray.com

ELISABETTA’S RISTORANTE —
The majority of seats will be outdoors at this offshoot of the Delray Beach gathering place that has now opened in West Palm Beach overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. The alfresco area will have an outside bar and live DJ on weekends. In addition to favorites like a 14-ounce center-cut veal chop and whole grilled fish, the chef has introduced vegetarian specials such as mushroom Bolognese featuring trumpets from local farms, and whole roasted cauliflower from the wood-burning oven. elisabettas.com
BEAUTY BUZZ
PAUL LABRECQUE — “A scalp is like soil; when fertilized well, it will produce something that is lush and thick,” says Labrecque, who has brought trichologist Bridgette Hill into his salon at the Royal Poinciana Plaza on Palm Beach Island. Apart from hair services, the chic spot offers a range of treatments from ice facials to magnesium massages. paullabrecque.com
