OPENING OF TANZY RESTAURANT in MIZNER PARK -BOCA RATON

What a spectacular addition to Mizner Park …and Boca! 
If you haven't yet visited the new iPic Movie Theater and adjoining restaurant, Tanzy, you're really missing something special.  The movie theater opened May 4 and it's definitely the upscale way to see a movie–relaxed in a reclining chair or in the Premier Plus, in a recliner with a pillow, blanket, complimentary popcorn served to each person, and a button to push for food service right to your chair!

I dined at the new adjoining restaurant, Tanzy and it's also upscale and remarkable. Why?  It's all in the details… with the finest cured meats imported from Parma, Italy, Mozzarella cheese from the Puglia region of Italy and a trendy  "Parma Bar" (like a sushi bar and perfect for late night snacks.)   Did I mention the 'boutique wine list of over 100 labels'? Our waiter told us they even grow  their own herbs in a little garden right near the outside patio.

We were greeted with a wonderful  hors d'oeuvre (prosciutto delicately piled on a cracker round that was smeared with goat cheese); then we had Cedar Plank Salmon (wild caught, of course-$15) and Pan-Seared Branzino (fish) with a sauce using Pecorino (cheese) -$16)….Delizioso!  Delcious!

If I can't get away for a visit to an Italian villa on the Amalfi Coast, I'll be happy to take another trip to TANZY!  

301 Plaza Real- Mizner Park- Boca Raton 33432    Phone: 561-922-6699
