On a warm South Florida evening, the energy at The Seagate Hotel & Beach Club felt a little more electric than usual. The property hosted The Rare One, a lively anniversary celebration marking the first year of Bourbon Steak Delray Beach, the acclaimed steakhouse concept from celebrity chef Michael Mina.
Guests arrived to the rhythm of live music and the glow of cocktail glasses clinking under the Florida night sky. Signature drinks flowed while servers circulated trays of indulgent bites that leaned into the playful luxury Bourbon Steak has become known for.

Among the most talked-about dishes of the evening were truffle chicken nuggets topped with caviar, a decadent twist on comfort food. A yakitori wagyu station also drew attention as chefs grilled rich cuts of beef over open flames. A chef carving station anchored the culinary lineup, offering premium selections that reinforced the steakhouse’s reputation for elevated ingredients and refined technique.
Throughout the evening, the atmosphere felt equal parts upscale dinner party and neighborhood celebration. Guests mingled between bites while a cigar roller crafted fresh cigars nearby, adding a classic steakhouse touch to the festivities.

Presiding over the celebration was Mina himself, whose culinary empire spans dozens of restaurants across the country. Known for blending classic techniques with global influences, Mina has built a reputation for transforming traditional steakhouse dining into something more dynamic and experiential. That philosophy is evident inside Bourbon Steak Delray Beach, where premium cuts, creative seafood dishes and indulgent accompaniments meet polished hospitality.

The anniversary event served as both a toast to the restaurant’s early success and a glimpse at its growing role in the local dining scene. Over the past year, Bourbon Steak has quietly become one of Delray Beach’s most sought-after reservations, a place where celebratory dinners, business meetings and weekend indulgences intersect.
If ‘The Rare One’ proved anything, it is that Bourbon Steak is not slowing down after year one. The celebration made it clear that the restaurant’s momentum in Delray Beach is only just beginning.
