Two restaurants connected by a small hallway at North Palm Beach Country Club merged with a brand-new menu in time for a rush of customers visiting the village to escape the cold in the Northeast.

NPB Public House, a laid-back, tavern-style eatery with comfort foods such as chicken wings and french fries, became a part of the upscale, clean-eating restaurant Farmer’s Table North Palm Beach on Nov. 13.

Farmer’s Table opened at the country club in 2019 and NPB Public House followed about a year later to provide golfers and visitors a more casual eating option with a bar and televisions to watch sporting events with friends.

A favorite at the former NPB Public House, the tavern's cheeseburger remains on the menu after the restaurant merged with Farmer's Table at the North Palm Beach Country Club.

Don Lullo, general manager of the Farmer’s Table location, said the head chef and leadership team decided to merge the two because customers often wanted to order items off both menus while sitting at the same table.

“We listened to our guests, golfers and members and thought, ‘How can we find a middle ground to make everyone happy?’ ” Lullo said.

Favorites from NPB Public House such as black bean chili, pretzel sticks, cheeseburgers and fries carried over to the new menu. Farmer’s Table’s best-selling salmon, flatbreads and turkey meatloaf are also on the menu.

The new merged concept no longer offers chicken tacos or a soup of the day, but has some new items including short-rib french dip, a chicken club melt and skirt steak.

Lullo says that Farmer’s Table plans to stay as the signature restaurant at the country club for the next 10 to 15 years. Service has steadily increased these past few weeks with the start of the “in season” time for the area.

“Now we have the best of both worlds,” Lullo said. “We have one menu that really caters to everyone's needs and desires. It has a little bit of something for everyone.”
