What a gem! Everything about this place is wonderful — cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food. I ordered the local mahi (Chef’s special), and it was perfection: golden, flaky, and full of flavor, served over jasmine rice with a beautiful sauce and crisp green beans. Every bite was fresh and perfectly balanced.
The Caesar salad was also super fresh and simple in the best way — exactly how it should be. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole vibe feels relaxed yet classy. You can tell the chef puts a lot of heart into every plate.
Definitely a five-star experience — one of my new favorite spots in Delray! Highly recommend Jimmy’s Bistro for anyone who loves amazing food in a cozy, inviting setting.

Nice small place. Food was good. The starters were great, the shrimp Ravioli and tomato bisque were so good. We had the yellowtail snapper and the ahi Tuna, they were good. Service was great.

Located on Swinton in Delray (off the hustle of the AVE), you’ll find this modestly charming neighborhood bistro. Chef Jimmy, Julie and the team present an intimate, chef driven menu with favorite blackboard items locally sourced and fresh caught by Captain Clay & Sons. Reservations recommended with plenty of parking (street/garages) abound. The worldly wine list promotes handcrafted, organic and sustainable varieties by the glass or bottle and we chose well with the Albariño and Chianti. Our light starters were caesar salad, (tasted like it was made table-side) and caprese salad where the quality balsamic enhanced the house-made mozzarella and the sweetness of the vine ripened plum tomatoes. Our entrees of scratch made Rigatoni Bolognese was rustic and hearty while the Golden Tilefish was mild and sweet, balanced with julienned zucchini, nutty basmati and rich beurre blanc. We can’t wait to return to try other mainstay’s they’ve served for 15 yrs. Highly recommend for low key, fine dining experience.

Really great dining experience slightly off the Ave. Had the lobster wonton special that was spectacular- amazing flavor and super light- highlight of the meal. Followed that up with their rigatoni Bolognese- rich, flavorful, and filling. We were full but got a dessert to go because everything else was so good and we wanted to try their homemade sweets. My only regret is not having any wine from their expansive and eclectic list. Stuck with Pellegrino on this visit. We will be back

What a delightful evening in a cosy atmosphere. We dined at the bar and the bartender, Mathew had impeccable service and a fantastic attitude. We sampled many of the dishes our absolute favorite was the braised short ribs and the shrimp ravioli. I must say that ravioli were the best I’ve had in an extremely long time if ever. If you find yourself in Delray this is a must stop I will be back.

First time in Delray – walking down Atlantic Ave it was flooded with a bunch of restaurants with manufactured charm – however a hidden gem just off Atlantic is Jimmys – the restaurant is quaint… clearly has an owner that cares… and the menu and atmosphere is genuine. From my research and experience walking around this area… Jimmys is the only place to go for dinner.

Delray’s best food. Service and food are always on point. We have been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The tomato bisque soup is a must.

We went to this restaurant for dinner and had a really nice meal! The place is small but quaint and you could tell it was mostly locals dining. The food was excellent and the service was quite good too. I had a very fresh snapper dish that was expertly prepared and my wife had a delicious shrimp etouffee that had tons of flavor! We also had a really nice dessert to finish off our meal. The restaurant is expensive but not more so than other restaurants in the area and it was worth it. This is definitely a place we will return to for hopefully another great meal!

An absolute must when visiting the area! The ingredients are incredibly fresh, location is very convenient to local night life and the service—especially from Damon and the rest of the team—was outstanding.

The best Duck and Short Rib in South Florida and the fish tastes like it was swimming that morning. Every sauce and gravy this place makes is genuinely excellent. In addition, I highly recommend the ceviche appetizer.
