This week, we're hanging out at Lionfish in Downtown Delray with Justin, Sales and Events Specialist at Menin Development, the local developer that owns and operates Lionfish.
We’re chatting about everything from the restaurant’s modern coastal cuisine, sustainability practices and love of partnering with the community, to the new happy hour and Rosé Brunch, and of course, cocktails — especially the one that comes with a commemorative and adorable puffer fish glass.
Justin has only been in Delray for a couple years, but has definitely found his footing. He is shaking up the private event scene in Delray, offering locals and visitors a variety of venue options for just about any kind of party or event you can think of.
We discuss the importance of offering an inclusive menu and having well-educated staff, and then stir up the conversation with insights into the world of event planning. Justin shares stories from his career in the events industry, revealing the secrets behind creating unforgettable experiences and the importance of fostering a unique atmosphere for guests.
Finally, Justin shares details about other Menin properties, such as family-friendly Crane's Beach House, neighborhood hangout Johnnie Brown’s, Michelin-chef-run Akira Back, and the modern and chic Ray Hotel and its rooftop restaurant, Rosewater. He also reveals exciting news about an upcoming tequila pairing dinner at Lionfish and new menu items, including a fresh spin on their famous lionfish ceviche.
You’ll be hungry for more after listening to our food-centric chat with Justin. Tune in to learn more about what’s to come at Lionfish and how Justin and the Menin team can make all your event dreams come true. Don’t forget to drop us a five-star rating and review!
