Taboo was served with an Eviction Notice

Ta-boo faces eviction, but owner intends to fight it

Landmark Palm Beach restaurant open since 1941

This was the place to go when I worked in Palm Beach for 25 years and it has served some of Palm Beach's elite since its opening before World War II, including residents Rod Stewart and James Patterson. Other celebrities to have dined there include Frank Sinatra and former President John F. Kennedy. Kevin McCarthy was there too! And I had a wedding dinner there!

And they had a great bar full of fun people at Happy Hour when I used to frequent Taboo.
But restaurant owner Franklyn de Marco told the Palm Beach Daily News that he and his attorneys are contesting the eviction by the building's owner.

"Based on our understanding, this eviction isn't valid," de Marco told the newspaper.

A representative for the building's owner told the newspaper that Ta-boo's lease expired at the end of April 2022 and the rent hasn't been paid since.

Read about it... at the Palm Beach Post and see the photos.

It will be really sad if Taboo closes.

    Taboo is one of the few places on the Island, that I really liked. Very cosmopolitan and big city atmosphere without the fanfare.

    I was just thinking about going back for a visit as soon as the tourists leave.

    Not talking about the restaurant, just the bar. The restaurant is just a restaurant.

    Why didn't they pay the rent?

    Do you get the Post? It's a legal issue.
