I have been a "regular" diner at Schooners for more than 25 years. Throughtout that time, the high quality food and consisitently good service have never wavered. Most of their seafood is caught locally and is fresh daily. Two must haves are the cobia and the wahoo whenever they are available. Always excellent are the grouper and the mahi-mahi which... More

We went to Schooners while returning from a short road trip. It is a nice, small place, very comfortable with a "Cheers" feel to it with all the locals. Nice happy hour with $1 drafts was a good find. There are several other places in the vicinity and this is a good place to start. We just had a couple... More

I guess the majority of folks love to eat food covered up with cream sauces...fried foods and overly seasoned foods. We are health conscious and like good quality food done simply. When you have a smaller menu, higher quality food and less garbage done to it...that is delicious clean eating and you don't mind paying a high dollar value for... More

This is a great place for happy hour drinks but it ends too soon. They could use a bigger bar. They have to many locals and the seats are taken too quickly. But there is usually a nice guy that will give you a seat. The food is excellent. No happy hour food, which is fine with me, they do... More

I grew up vacationing in the pan handle of Florida where the seafood is divine. We've been coming to Palm Beach for several years and while I've had some good meals, I hadn't found "my kind" of seafood place. Schooners is now that place. It's not fancy and the decor is outdated, but the food was delicious. The dolphin was... More

Eaten there many timer and food is great and wait staff is great. But, the maitre' d's need to be more qualifed for a restaurant that busy. Was told we had a 20 minute wait, but it was 1 hour and 20 minutes before we got seated. The maitre 'd's don't have a clue. Don't take reservations, even for a... More

We are IN the seafood business so we are very picky about where we eat seafood. We have frequented Schooner's for about 20 years. It's our go-to seafood place. We absolutely love it. You can't go wrong. Grouper Francese is the best thing in the whole world.

Schooners was not our first choice of the evening but we were hungry and other places had a very long wait. We were VERY pleased with the service, quality of food and outdoor seating (wish it was waterfront though). We will definitely go back.

Last night we went to dinner with some friends who live in Palm Beach Gardens and recommended Schooners. We went with them and another couple. We called ahead for reservations, but were told they only take for 8 or more. We asked how long the wait was now and they said 15 minutes. We decided to give it a try... More
