CityPlace West Palm Beach Guide: Restaurants, Shopping & Things to Do

CityPlace is one of downtown West Palm Beach’s biggest destinations for restaurants, shopping, events and nightlife.

The 72-acre district at 700 S. Rosemary Ave. sits in the heart of downtown, across from the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and Palm Beach County Convention Center and just a block from the West Palm Beach Brightline station.

Today, CityPlace has more than 50 shops and restaurants, with everything from Eataly and RH Rooftop Restaurant to fashion boutiques, home stores, fitness, public art and regular events.

Whether you’re planning dinner before a show, meeting friends for brunch, shopping for the afternoon or showing someone around West Palm Beach, here’s the Palm Beach Now guide to CityPlace.

What Is CityPlace?

CityPlace is a walkable mixed-use district in downtown West Palm Beach combining restaurants, shopping, offices, residences, public spaces and events.

And if you’ve lived here for a while, you’ve watched it change quite a bit.

CityPlace originally opened in 2000 with 31 stores. Macy’s and Barnes & Noble were among its early anchors, while The Cheesecake Factory became one of the development’s best-known original restaurants.

The district was renamed Rosemary Square in 2019 before returning to the CityPlace name in 2022.

Today, it feels much less like the traditional shopping center it started as and increasingly like its own downtown neighborhood. Restaurants and retailers continue to open while new offices, residences and public spaces expand the district around them.

Where Is CityPlace?

CityPlace is located at:

📍 700 S. Rosemary Ave.
West Palm Beach, FL 33401

The district extends for several blocks around Rosemary Avenue, Hibiscus Street and Okeechobee Boulevard.

Its location puts it within walking distance of several major downtown destinations, including:

  • Kravis Center for the Performing Arts
  • Palm Beach County Convention Center
  • Hilton West Palm Beach
  • West Palm Beach Brightline station
  • Clematis Street
  • Downtown West Palm Beach waterfront

Palm Beach is about a mile east across the Intracoastal, while Palm Beach International Airport is only a few miles away.

Restaurants at CityPlace

Dining is one of the biggest reasons to visit CityPlace.

The district has more than 30 restaurants, cafés and bars, ranging from quick breakfast and lunch spots to steakhouses, Italian restaurants, sushi, Mexican food and special-occasion dining.

Here’s what you’ll find.

Adrienne’s Pizzabar

Adrienne’s brings New York-style pizza to CityPlace from the same team behind Harry’s. The menu covers both square and round pizzas along with salads, pastas and drinks, making it an easy option for anything from a casual lunch to a night out.

BuddhaBerry

BuddhaBerry is all about frozen yogurt and toppings. The self-serve concept lets you build your own combination from rotating frozen yogurt flavors and a large selection of fruit, candy, sauces and other toppings.

The Cheesecake Factory

One of the original CityPlace restaurants is still going strong more than two decades later. The famously huge menu covers burgers, pasta, steaks, salads and plenty more before you even get to the cheesecake.

It’s also one of CityPlace’s easier choices for families and larger groups.

Eataly

Eataly transformed the historic Harriet Himmel building into a 23,000-square-foot Italian food destination.

Rather than being a single restaurant, Eataly combines restaurants, quick-service counters, espresso, gelato, wine, fresh pasta, Italian groceries and cooking classes at La Scuola.

It’s worth exploring even if you’re not sitting down for a full meal.

El Camino

Come here for tacos, margaritas and a high-energy atmosphere. El Camino serves Mexican-inspired dishes alongside a substantial tequila and mezcal selection and is particularly popular for happy hour and nights out.

Felice

The first Felice outside New York brings Tuscan-inspired Italian cooking to Rosemary Avenue. Handmade pastas, seafood, Italian wines and a polished indoor-outdoor setting make it one of CityPlace’s stronger date-night choices.

Fuku

Created by chef David Chang, Fuku specializes in habanero-brined fried chicken with Korean-style crispy breading. Expect chicken sandwiches, tenders, loaded waffle fries and other quick bites in a casual setting.

Galley

Located at Hilton West Palm Beach, Galley is a grill-focused restaurant built around food cooked over open flame. Steaks and seafood are a big part of the menu, while the outdoor patio and fire pit give it more of a resort feel than you’d expect in the middle of downtown.

Harry’s

The West Palm Beach outpost of the longtime New York Financial District restaurant is one of CityPlace’s more upscale choices.

Dry-aged steaks, seafood, classic cocktails and an extensive wine list anchor the menu, making Harry’s a strong choice for date night, a business dinner or dinner before a show at the Kravis Center.

Il Bellagio

A CityPlace fixture since 2001, Il Bellagio serves traditional Italian dishes including pasta, seafood and meat entrées.

Its location overlooking the central plaza and fountains remains a big part of the appeal, especially when the weather is good enough to sit outside.

La Playa

La Playa is Hilton West Palm Beach’s poolside dining option, serving drinks and casual food in a resort-style setting. It’s a more relaxed choice than some of CityPlace’s full-service restaurants.

maman

The French-inspired café and bakery is a strong choice for coffee, breakfast, lunch or an afternoon pastry.

The menu includes croissants, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and cafĂ© dishes, along with maman’s well-known nutty chocolate chip cookie.

Mezze

Also at Hilton West Palm Beach, Mezze serves Mediterranean-inspired food in a more relaxed setting. It’s particularly useful for breakfast or a casual meal if you’re staying at the hotel, attending an event at the Convention Center or spending the day around CityPlace.

Moody Tongue Sushi

Moody Tongue Sushi is one of CityPlace’s most distinctive special-occasion dining experiences.

Located at Hilton West Palm Beach, the restaurant offers a 13-course omakase experience from the team behind Chicago’s two-Michelin-starred Moody Tongue Brewery, pairing sushi with the brewery’s beers.

Moxies

Moxies is built for a social meal, with a large dining room, two bars and a covered wraparound patio.

The broad menu moves from steaks and burgers to pastas, bowls and shareable plates, while brunch, cocktails, happy hour and late-night dining give it plenty of different use cases.

PopUp Bagels

PopUp Bagels built a following around a deliberately simple idea: hot bagels served fresh with schmears.

Rather than the oversized deli sandwiches you might expect from a bagel shop, the focus here is very much on the bagel itself. It’s an easy breakfast or snack stop while walking around CityPlace.

Publix Super Market

Not technically a restaurant, but worth knowing about. The CityPlace Publix is useful for groceries, prepared foods, sandwiches and quick grab-and-go meals, particularly for people living or staying downtown.

Pura Vida

Pura Vida covers the wellness-focused end of the CityPlace dining lineup with all-day breakfast, smoothies, açaí bowls, salads, wraps, avocado toast and cold-pressed drinks.

It’s particularly useful for a quick breakfast or lunch.

RH Rooftop Restaurant

One of the most distinctive places to eat at CityPlace sits at the top of RH West Palm.

RH Rooftop Restaurant is set inside a dramatic glass-and-steel atrium surrounded by greenery and fountains. The menu focuses on polished American classics, with salads, sandwiches, seafood and steak among the options.

Go as much for the setting as the meal. It’s especially good for lunch, date night or a special occasion.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

The longtime steakhouse specializes in USDA Prime steaks served on its signature sizzling plates, alongside seafood, traditional steakhouse sides and wine.

It’s another reliable option for celebrations, business dinners and dinner before a Kravis Center performance.

Saito’s Japanese Steakhouse

Saito’s combines hibachi-style dining with sushi and other Japanese dishes.

The tableside cooking makes it particularly popular with families and groups looking for dinner that’s a little more interactive.

Sloan’s

A Palm Beach County favorite for ice cream, Sloan’s is hard to miss thanks to its colorful, over-the-top interiors.

Expect ice cream, sundaes, shakes and candy, with plenty of options for kids.

Starbucks

CityPlace also has a Starbucks for coffee, breakfast and the familiar grab-and-go menu.

SunLife Organics

SunLife Organics brings a California-born wellness concept to CityPlace with smoothies, protein shakes, bowls, juices and other health-focused drinks and snacks.

Sur La Table

Sur La Table is primarily a kitchen and cookware retailer rather than a restaurant, but its cooking school earns it a spot in the food conversation.

Classes change regularly and cover everything from date-night cooking to baking and international cuisines.

sweetgreen

For something quick, sweetgreen serves salads, warm bowls and customizable meals built around vegetables, grains and proteins.

It’s one of the easiest grab-and-go lunch options in the district.

The Salty

The South Florida-born doughnut shop is known for brioche doughnuts with creative rotating flavors, along with coffee and other baked treats.

It’s a good coffee-and-something-sweet stop and an easy place to bring visitors who haven’t tried the brand before.

True Food Kitchen

True Food Kitchen focuses on health-conscious, seasonally driven food without limiting itself to one cuisine.

Expect bowls, salads, pizzas, burgers and entrées, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices.

New CityPlace Restaurants Coming Soon

CityPlace’s restaurant lineup is still growing.

Ela Curry & Cocktails

Ela Curry & Cocktails is an upcoming Indian restaurant from chef Pushkar Marathe, the chef behind Stage Kitchen & Bar.

The new concept is expected to bring Marathe’s modern approach to Indian cooking to CityPlace.

Mango Mercado

Mango Mercado is another upcoming concept connected to Marathe and is planned as a more casual Indian market and food concept.

Opening timelines can change, so Palm Beach Now will update this guide as both concepts move closer to opening.

Things to Do at CityPlace

CityPlace isn’t only somewhere to eat and shop.

Its public spaces have increasingly become gathering places for downtown West Palm Beach, with programming changing throughout the year.

Hang Out on The Lawn

The Lawn is one of the district’s primary gathering spaces and regularly hosts fitness, yoga, live entertainment, pop-ups and community events.

Programming changes frequently, so check Palm Beach Now’s current events coverage before heading downtown.

See The Wishing Tree

The Wishing Tree has become one of CityPlace’s most recognizable landmarks.

The massive illuminated banyan tree anchors the central plaza and is especially worth seeing after dark.

Explore the Public Art

Art is scattered throughout CityPlace rather than confined to a gallery.

Murals, sculptures and installations make simply walking around the neighborhood part of the experience.

Take a Cooking Class

There are two particularly good options.

Sur La Table offers regularly scheduled hands-on cooking classes, while Eataly’s La Scuola focuses on Italian food, ingredients and cooking.

Work Out

Equinox has a full fitness club at CityPlace, while yoga and other outdoor fitness programming regularly appear on the district’s event calendar.

Catch a Show at the Kravis Center

The Kravis Center isn’t technically inside CityPlace, but it’s directly across Okeechobee Boulevard.

Dinner at CityPlace followed by a Broadway show, concert or performance at the Kravis is one of downtown West Palm Beach’s easiest date nights.

Visit During the Holidays

CityPlace becomes particularly active during the holiday season, with decorations, performances and seasonal events centered around the plaza and Wishing Tree.

The district’s snowfall tradition remains a favorite with local families.

Events at CityPlace

CityPlace maintains a busy events calendar throughout the year.

Depending on the season, you may find:

  • Yoga and fitness
  • Live music
  • Food and drink events
  • Cooking classes
  • Family activities
  • Holiday celebrations
  • Pop-ups
  • Community events

Rather than filling an evergreen guide with dates that will quickly expire, Palm Beach Now covers current events separately and will link relevant CityPlace events here.

Where to Park at CityPlace

The two main public parking garages are:

  • Hibiscus Garage
  • Okeechobee Garage

One temporary change to know about: the Hibiscus Street entrance to Hibiscus Garage is closed while the garage undergoes improvements. The garage remains accessible from Okeechobee Boulevard, with the project currently expected to continue into spring 2027.

Parking rates vary depending on the day and time, and special-event pricing can apply.

Valet parking is also available at several locations around CityPlace.

Taking Brightline to CityPlace

CityPlace is one of the easiest downtown West Palm Beach destinations to reach by Brightline.

The West Palm Beach Brightline station is one block from the north end of CityPlace. From there, you can walk into the district along Rosemary Avenue.

That makes it possible to take Brightline into West Palm Beach for dinner, shopping, an event or a show at the Kravis Center without needing a car.

Other Ways to Get Around

CityPlace is also connected to other transportation options.

West Palm Beach’s rideWPB network serves downtown, while BrightBike rentals and bike racks offer another option for shorter trips.

Tri-Rail riders can connect into downtown using Palm Tran.

Once you’re at CityPlace, the district itself is best explored on foot.

Is CityPlace the Same as Rosemary Square?

Yes, but CityPlace is the current name.

The district originally opened as CityPlace in 2000. It was renamed Rosemary Square in 2019 before returning to its original CityPlace name in 2022.

You’ll still occasionally hear someone call it Rosemary Square, but officially, it’s CityPlace.

Is CityPlace Worth Visiting?

Yes, especially if you’re new to West Palm Beach or staying downtown.

Because so much is concentrated within a walkable area, it’s easy to combine dinner, shopping, drinks, an event or a Kravis Center performance without moving your car.

CityPlace is particularly useful for:

  • Dinner before a Kravis Center show
  • Date night
  • Weekend brunch
  • Shopping
  • Coffee and a walk
  • Family outings
  • Happy hour
  • Meeting friends downtown
  • Visitors staying at Hilton West Palm Beach
  • Travelers arriving on Brightline
  • Holiday and seasonal events

For locals, CityPlace is also becoming more useful as the surrounding neighborhood grows. What began primarily as a shopping and entertainment development increasingly functions as a piece of downtown West Palm Beach itself.

What’s Next for CityPlace?

CityPlace continues to evolve as downtown West Palm Beach grows.

New restaurants and retailers are still arriving, while Related Ross is adding offices, residences and other development in and around the district.

That means this isn’t a guide Palm Beach Now considers finished.

We’ll continue updating it as restaurants open and close, new stores arrive, development moves forward and things to do change.
