JB's on the Beach

the amount is an estimate, since they're letting us order our own meals off the menu (party of 20 or less), and since the dinner is still in the future.

When I called JB's On the Water in Deerfield Beach, FL it was because of their proximity to our ceremony (and so rehearsal) location. They said they had a private room called the "aquarium room" that would hold up to 24 people, which we could reserve.

My mom and brother and sister and I went to have lunch there and check out the place. The food was GREAT!! They have typical sandwich, salad, grill fare as well as high-end seafood and steaks, and full bar. Each of us ordered different things and all of our food was great.

When we went to see the aquarium room, it was a bit of a letdown. The "Aquariums" were big screen TVs with a DVD of computer generated fish in an aquarium playing on the TVs. The room was long and thin with 8 4-top tables set up and two rows. The long side of the room looked out (through the patrons seated on the patio, past the beach-front walkway, and through the mounded sea-grass) onto the atlantic ocean.

I wish the room had been a little fancier, possibly on the second floor, so-as to look out onto the ocean un-hindered. I also wish the windows were more cleanly installed, instead of being regular florida-type sliding doors (or door-walls as they are called in the midwest)

Still, we decided to go with the place because we decided that the rehearsal dinner is just about being with our wedding party and family, having a good time, talking together, and enjoying some good food. even though the room may look funny, people will get over it right away!
