The Club’s Director of Culinary and Executive Chef, Fabian Ludwig, cultivates authentic recipes, each with a tasteful “food story” to transport guests on every occasion. Whether you are looking for takeout or exceptional dine-in experiences, this Club has you covered. Discover how BallenIsles brings flavor to every dish.
Five-Star Dining Options
With six unique dining options to choose from there is something for everyone. Inside the newly expanded Circle 100 restaurant members enjoy specially selected regional cuisine, buffet-style served by an attendant. Indulge in gastropub cuisine, including burgers, salads, pizza hot from the stone-hearth oven, and ribs at BallenIsles Grille/Rendezvous Room, also known as "The B.I.G." With 18 televisions, why not grab drinks at a pewter-topped bar with friends to watch a game too. Make a reservation for Evolution, an intimate upscale dining venue that serves single-malt scotches and high-end bourbons for dinner. Enjoy lite bites and unique desserts at Harry's Lounge and Bar located in the heart of the Clubhouse. Just across the street is Bistro 105, featuring healthy and fresh salads, seafood and of course, pasta with seating inside and al fresco on the patio terrace. Be pampered poolside or pick up a fresh smoothie at The Cabana.

What Makes a Great Chef?
With one seasoned chef overseeing all aspects of the Club’s culinary team, from creating menus for all six of the Club’s restaurants to selecting plating presentation for dishes, it is no wonder each plate is a savory masterpiece. Having worked in locales across Europe and the United States, Fabian Ludwig has proven that it’s not just his background, but the personal touch that he imparts on each dish, that ensured he was perfect for the role. Regarding such, Ludwig said, “The pleasure and reason I started to cook for people 30 years ago is because of the smiles and nodding of the heads. I work for the smiles, to create an experience they can remember.” Ludwig brings his storied past to his recipes to create “dishes that transport you back to good memories, shared during good company or enjoyed while on vacation, these could be simple dishes, but authentic.” Fabian strives to source ingredients that are local and in season, so that he and his team can tell the “food story” behind the recipe. Like his meals, Fabian values each interaction with guests, elevating dining experiences throughout the community.

Among six delicious menus, BallenIsles Country Club offers even more tasteful events for food enthusiasts to further expand their palates and explore flavor profiles. The Food & Beverage team has done an incredible job of adjusting to the dining restrictions while still offering safe social activities such as live virtual wine tastings, utilizing the outdoor terraces accompanied by live music, mixing it up with themed action stations and outdoor movie nights. Can you imagine your next Friday night enjoying drinks and live music here? Members also love the convenience of the BallenIsles Marketplace, still offering both curbside pickup and home delivery services. Even amid unique circumstances over the last year, BallenIsles has put members first in creating new, enviable experiences.

With its central location in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, BallenIsles Country Club allows for lovers of music, art, the outdoors, and life to take advantage of the vibrant activities and entertainment available. World-class dining, shopping and culture are just minutes away along the PGA Boulevard corridor, and some of the best beaches in the country are just a few miles to the east.
