English Tap & Beer Garden, Part II

​The remaking of Todd English's Wild Olives into the English Tap & Beer Garden (5050 Town Center Circle, 561-544-8000) will be unveiled for all to see this Friday when the upscale, quasi-German "biergarten" opens its doors in the tony Shops at Boca Center. 

Taking over the next-door space (the original Wild Olives space will become Brio Tuscan Grill), ET&BG will feature indoor seating for 120 and outdoors for 130, plus indoor and outdoor bars, a DJ and live music. It will also pour some 30 beers on tap with another 60 or so by the bottle.  

​Chef Ken Stevens, formerly with Wild Olives, will be dishing all the usual pub-grubby suspects, from burgers and sliders to bangers & mash, as well as more contemporary offerings like wasabi tuna, Asian chicken salad, an assortment of flatbreads and panini, and items from a daily raw bar. 

The restaurant has already announced a full lineup of specials, beginning with a daily happy hour with half-priced drinks and $5 appetizers and continuing with a $12.99 prime rib dinner on Monday and Thursday, two-for-one flatbreads and brewskis on Tuesday, and $2 sliders and beers on Wednesday.
