Pink Steak West Palm Beach: Lobsta Disco Brunch Experience
Some brunches are about the food. Some are about the scene. Pink Steak’s Lobsta Disco Brunch is unapologetically about both.
Tucked into an unassuming corner of West Palm Beach, this pink-hued fantasy manages to feel glamorous, theatrical, and just a little unhinged in the best possible way. From the moment you walk in, it is clear this is not a place that believes Sunday should be taken lightly.
Pink Steak is chef Julien Gremaud’s modern West Palm Beach steakhouse, and like his other Palm Beach County concepts, it leans hard into atmosphere as part of the experience.
If Gremaud’s name sounds familiar, it should. He is also behind Avocado Grill and Avocado Cantina, and that matters here. Pink Steak’s Lobsta Disco Brunch does not feel like a random one-off concept. It feels like the next evolution of a Sunday formula Gremaud has been building locally for years: great food, a lively room, and a brunch that knows exactly when to stop pretending it is just brunch. Avocado Grill has long been known for its upbeat Sunday brunch scene, including DJs, live music, and saxophone, and Pink Steak takes that DNA and dresses it in pink satin and a little more attitude.
Flamingo chic, but make it loud
At the entrance, beside a substantial wine wall tucked behind glass, are portraits of flamingos in suits and ties. This pure anthro art is exactly the sort of detail that tells you this restaurant has a point of view. Step farther in, and your eye lands on the giant brass flamingo statue planted right in the center of the dining room floor, presiding over brunch like the fabulous patron saint of indulgent Sundays. Add the pink chandeliers, the marble bar, and the DJ, and the whole room feels like Palm Beach glamour collided with Studio 54. Pink Steak’s own brunch offering is now a regular Sunday feature, and its current listings continue to position Lobsta Disco Brunch as one of the restaurant’s signature experiences.
This is not the kind of brunch where you whisper over coffee and politely split an omelet. This is the kind where the room is already dressed louder than most of the guests, the music has plans for you, and the decor is working just as hard as the kitchen.
The food: oysters, Benedicts, and cold champagne
The oysters arrived first, perched on ice with a full smoke show because apparently at Pink Steak even shellfish need a dramatic entrance. They were bright, fresh, and exactly the kind of opener that makes the whole table stop talking for a second and pay attention.
Because I judge a brunch place by its Benedicts, we decided to compare the smoked salmon Benedict with the lobster Benedict. The smoked salmon version won me over first: a crisp, thinly sliced English muffin holding up a generous layer of smoked salmon, spinach, a properly poached egg, and hollandaise that knew how to support instead of smother. It was balanced, rich, and built on the kind of texture that makes a Benedict worth ordering.
The lobster Benedict absolutely had its charms too. The lobster was tender, the eggs were on point, the mushrooms added a nice springy earthiness, and the potatoes on the side were the kind you keep reaching for after you have already claimed to be full. If I were tweaking one thing, I would just love a slightly firmer foundation under all that luxury; the brioche leaned a bit soft by the time it reached the table. Pink Steak’s current Lobsta Disco Brunch listing specifically features lobster dishes including a lobster Benedict with brioche, spinach, and hollandaise, so the restaurant is clearly leaning into lobster as the headline act of the experience.
Champagne was icy, bubbly, and beyond criticism, as it should be.
And then there were the giant pepper grinders: oversized, theatrical, and completely right for the room. Yes, freshly cracked pepper matters. But at Pink Steak, the grinders are doing more than seasoning. They are part of the ceremony. One more reminder that brunch here is not just a meal. It is a performance.
Then 1 p.m. hits, and brunch turns into a party
Up until about 1 p.m., you could almost convince yourself this is simply a glamorous brunch with a particularly committed design team. Then the room shifts.
The energy rises, the music gets louder, and the staff starts guiding the crowd with glowsticks like glamorous air-traffic control for the brunch-inclined. Pink napkins go up, the whole room loosens, and Lobsta Disco Brunch becomes exactly what its name promised: not just brunch with music, but a full Sunday-afternoon scene. Pink Steak officially markets the experience around live DJ disco beats and a lobster-forward menu, while other recent coverage has described it as a true Sunday-Funday destination.
This is where the Avocado Grill connection really clicks. Gremaud has a long local history of hosting brunches that slide naturally into parties, and Pink Steak feels like that same instinct turned more theatrical, more glamorous, and a little less interested in behaving. If Avocado Grill built the blueprint for a great Palm Beach Sunday, Pink Steak added flamingos, glowsticks, and a sharper heel.
Final thoughts on Pink Steak’s brunch in West Palm Beach
Pink Steak’s Lobsta Disco Brunch is not for people seeking a quiet meal, subtle ambiance, or a low-stimulation Sunday.
This is brunch for the bold. For people who like their oysters cold, their champagne colder, and their hollandaise served with a side of house music. It is for the crowd that understands brunch is not just about what is on the plate, but also about the mood, the spectacle, and whether the restaurant has the nerve to be fun.
And maybe that is what makes it work so well. One of the chicest, most committed brunch experiences in West Palm Beach is hiding at the end of a shopping plaza next to the tracks, as if to prove that fabulousness does not care about location. It only cares about execution. Pink Steak executes.
Go for:
A brunch that feels like an actual event
Fresh oysters, cold champagne, and Benedicts that are worth debating
Flamingo-fueled decor and elite people-watching
A Sunday crowd that came to have fun
Be prepared to…
Trade quiet conversation for DJ sets and disco energy
Watch brunch turn into a dance party around 1 p.m.
Embrace the theatrical excess
Leave wondering why more brunches are not this unapologetically fun
