“Don’t sleep on the Lunch Menu… those paninis are mind blowing. Everything from the fluffy, crispy bread, amazing fillings, and condiments blend together perfectly. It’s quieter and brighter at lunch, so a completely different vibe. Highly recommend!! Hubby loves short rib panini and I crave spicy vodka chicken or ya sista’s cutlet.”
“We had a large group of 9 for a bachelorette party and had such a great experience! Genesis was our server and she was ON IT and kept our glasses full and made sure we were so well cared for! Place is super cute and food was fresh and delicious!”

“Excellent food in a casual feeling restaurant overlooks the pool and ocean”
“This was our first time eating here in Grapevine Texas location. My husband and I had a Caesar salad and a meat lovers pizza. The Caesar salad was huge and we took home half of it. The pizza is crispy and fresh out of the oven. It was a great meal. We had a friendly and knowledgeable, waitress named Kelsey. On the way out, we met the owner Luis. He was very friendly and took the time to talk about their restaurants and all the other locations they had. We will definitely be back.”
“Casa Calabria is one of our favorite hidden gems in Fort lauderdale everytime we visit, but Dominic makes our visits truly special. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care makes us always feel like family from the moment we sit down. Every time we're in south Florida, this is the place we go!! Dominic goes above and beyond with every detail—perfect timing, thoughtful recommendations, and the kind of hospitality you don’t forget. Dominic turns every great dinner into a memorable night. We’ll definitely be asking for him every time. ❤️🍝 The atmosphere is unforgettable and addictive! It's like youre in Italy in Fort Lauderdale, and that's what we were looking for! Everyone greets you with a smile. The food- is amazing and we have tried it all! Dessert and coffee is top notch and you can tell it's homemade. This place is authentic, fun, and very family friendly. We recommend this as a must try in Lauderdale, and recommend Dominic if you want a family oriented vibe! Tell him Cooper & Carson sent you!! And call him Domino 😊”

“Amazing owners and all around awesome vibe! Great beer on tap and the food is delicious!”
“Absolutely delicious! Sandwiches were HUGE!! Would highly recommend!!!❤️”
“Greens were the bomb, mac-n-cheese--banging, it's all good.”
“We landed early afternoon & headed straight to Café Bastille-Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale for brunch. I'd heard rave reviews about this spot & it exceeded expectations. We kicked off with a passionfruit margarita & a bacon bloody mary, both bursting with flavor. For our meal, we opted to share the truffle croque madame with a side salad & breakfast potatoes. The toast was wonderfully light & fluffy, & the potatoes had the perfect crunch. We couldn't leave without getting a NY pistachio croissant. The entire experience was enchanting. I'm already looking forward to our next visit before leaving Florida.”

“Checked out this great restaurant last night. The food was magnificent. Wow!! Everything was so tasty and the flavors melded well. Please check it out. We had the Jerk Plaintain, Thai style Charred cabbage salad, which had some great tasting pork, sweet and tangy wings and the Thai style crab fried rice. Can’t wait to go back and try the snapper.”
“The best chicken parm and bolognese we ever had! Amazing italian restaurant with a great atmosphere! The expresso martini was also 10/10! We will definitely be back during our next visit to Fort lauderdale!”
“I can't fully express how exceptional this restaurant is. I organized a sunset cruise for a group of 24 guests, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the provisions (food) we were expecting. In a moment of panic, I contacted the owner, Jackson, and explained the situation, hoping for a backup plan within 30 minutes (sounds impossible 🥵). Not only did he agree to accommodate us, he immediately began preparing for us. Once we arrived, he and his team welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. Our table was beautifully set, complete with a customized and printed menu just for us. He chose 3 dinner options for our party and actually had custom printed menus! Wow!! Drinks, salad, and bread were flowing within minutes, and the food? Absolutely divine—without a doubt the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. To top it off, there was a live performer who was fantastic! Totally unexpected, we had no clue there was entertainment but such another great treat. She engaged with everyone, took song requests, and even invited guests to join her to sing. The entire experience, from the atmosphere to the impeccable service, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jackson even served our table personally and jumped in to assist his team, going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and special. He continued to check in and make sure we were ok and had everything we needed and accommodated every single request ❤️ I am incredibly grateful for everything. Jackson and his staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable evening. This special group of oncology nurses truly deserved a memorable night, and thanks to you, we got exactly that. Thank you so much for making it an experience we will never forget! 🥰”

“This is your 5 star with classic, real family ties, food. The service is always above what you would expect. You still see chef Angelo. Menu items have family roots. Fresh is always key but the food is hand selected. Pistachios from certain regions. Pork chops of a specific type. Prosciutto aged 24 months. Top notch! I’ve been dining here for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience.”

“Great atmosphere, great food always consistent. Had 20 of my friends there for New Year's Eve dinner. Place was packed as it usually is. Walter the owner was greeting guest as they were arriving. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, once we got seated our server Angie started with our drink orders. Let me tell you the service was impeccable; she was great dealing with 20 of us. From appetizers to the main course our food came to the table hot and delicious. Some of my friends were there for the first time and could not believe how well the place ran for a busy holiday. I want to thank Marco for helping set up the reservation and especially Angie our server. Thank you, Walter, for your hospitality. Anthony's is my new favorite place. Happy New Year!”
“When we got stranded without baggage and only the gym clothes on our back for a night, these folks welcomed us in with open arms when no other restaurant in the area would because we didn’t meet their dress code. Food was wonderful as was the staff. Thanks y’all!”
“The Indian Harbor is an excellent restaurant for those who love Indian cuisine. My favorites are the Dal Makhani and the Butter Chicken. I usually order via UberEats but prefer to go in person to truly appreciate the naan fresh from the oven. The food and service are excellent… go with a friend to introduce them to this local delight.”
“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.”

“Lester's Diner Fort Lauderdale Fl. Just so you all know, because everything was so good here, we ate here 5 times in a week, all were 5-star ratings. We were in a hotel down the street because of hurricane Milton evacuation so we thought we would try this place. Every meal we had there was very good, and the service was great. Thanks to all our servers Carolyn, Shawna, Alicia, Sarah, JT to Jessica all were suburb. I don't give out many 5 stars, but this place deserves it. I wish there was a Lester’s over where we live on the southwest side of the state as we most likely would be in there every day. Tuesday morning 10-8-24 at 9:50am This place looked good, so we wanted to try it for breakfast. This was our very first time here. They were busy and most of the front was filled. This place was clean and neat and had a 50's vibe to the interior. Our waitress Shawna came over fast, introduced herself and gave us our coffee. We ordered the 2+2+2 which is 2 Eggs, 2 Sausages or Bacon and 2 French Toast or Pancakes. My wife ordered the same thing but with Bacon. Our friend ordered a 1/2 order of Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. Even though they were busy, our order came out fast. My Eggs were done perfectly, and the Sausage tasted good. The French Toast was hot and very good. My wife’s Eggs were done perfectly, and her Bacon was browned just like she wanted. Her French Toast was very tasty. Our friend's Biscuits and Sausage gravy was very good. Everything was hot and tasted great. I can't wait to get back there for dinner so I can make a more involved review. We went back for dinner around 5pm the same day and got seated immediately. I ordered Chopped Steak with Mashed Potatoes, Coleslaw and Salad. I liked the fact our waitress asked how I wanted my Chopped Steak done. The wife ordered the Salmon with Baked Potato, Coleslaw and Salad, our friend ordered the foot long Hot Dog with Fries. They served our Salads quickly. Everything tasted fresh, one thing I loved was that our Salads were chilled. Our main order came out shortly after our Salads. They looked great and filled up our plates. My Chopped Steak was done perfectly, Mashed Potatoes were good, and of course the Coleslaw was very delicious. My wife’s Salmon was done and tasted great. She did say her Baked Potato tasted a little old. She loved her Coleslaw as well as her Salad. Our friend's foot long Hot Dog was done perfectly, and he loved the Fries, they did have some extra fried onions on the plate along with his dog. All our food was hot and very tasty. Wednesday 10-9-24 we stopped for breakfast. We got seated fast and coffee cups were filled at that time. I got the House Special which consisted of 3 Eggs, 1 Smoked Sausage, Home Fries and Rye Bread. My wife ordered the Belgium Waffle with fresh Strawberries. Our ordered came out fast and it was hot and so good. One of the best breakfasts out that I ever had for sure. We stopped back for dinner same day at 6:30pm. I ordered the Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Filling, Carrots and Peas. I also got a house Salad on the side. My wife ordered the same thing, and our friend ordered the 6 BBQ Wings. When JT brought our food out it was hot, large portions and so tasty. It was the best Turkey platter I ever had at a restaurant. Our friend loved his BBQ wings as they were meaty and very tasty. Thursday 10-10-24 we stopped for our last meal as we were leaving to go back home next morning. I got the Chopped Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and side Salad again. My wife got the Roast Beef sandwich. Our friend got a side Caesar Salad. Service was fast food was hot and all was very good. I do recommend this place and believe you all need to try it. Prices are reasonable, the servings are large, a great value for your money. I gave this place 5 stars, for the great tasting food, large portions, and service all above and beyond.

“I'll be brutally honest about our experience here. Relax, there's a happy ending here. Relax again, not that kind of happy ending lol. Anyway, here we go: We went in today on a Tuesday evening and there was one woman working the entire place. One person lol. Well it must have been her and a cook, that was it. I guess they were short-staffed today, but I'm assuming this wouldn't happen like on a Friday or Saturday. The table we sat at had office chairs for seating. It felt like being at a meeting at a conference room table 😂 Since one person was doing everything, it took a while (completely understandable) to get a high chair for our baby and even longer to get our food. While we were waiting, I thought to myself, "man, I really hope this food slaps" if we're gonna be waiting that long. Fortunately, it DID. My burger was fantastic, well worth the wait. My wife didn't like her food, but maybe she should have ordered something else. The woman that served us literally served every single table. This includes the people who saw she was working all by herself and had the audacity of sitting outside in the heat, making the woman go all the way outside to serve those tables out there. Anyway, she was amazing! She didn't let the short-staffing circumstances ruin her mood or turn her into a crabby crab. She was even kind enough to look for a band-aid when one of our people needed one, despite being super busy. She did everything she could to hold down the fort, and she did it well. If you have an appetite and a little extra time, come here to eat. Good food, fun ambiance, comfy inside, and it'll get the job done.”
“I knew I wanted to go to Archibald's since they opened. Their social media makes it look like such a fun and delicious place to stop in for a coffee or a sweet treat! And lemme tell you--all my expectations were exceeded handily from the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted warmly by the owner, Chris, and couldn't wait to order my oat milk latte. They served it in a 16oz size, which was PERFECT for my perhaps worrisome reliance on caffeine. It was strong and delicious, just the way I LOVE it. The music and the setting were outstanding. I couldn't help singing along with the playlists piping through their cozy outdoor seating area and several little birds and neighborhood pups made the experience that much more enjoyable. Chris would deliver orders to the seating area and his warmth and hospitality made this THE place to be, especially on an overcast Sunday morning. I loved the pumpkin spice scone and the quiche was BEAUTIFUL, especially with that gluten-free crust. I try to limit that consumption as much as I can though I have to admit--baked goods are my kryptonite. All in all, an incredible experience. I look forward to returning when I'm back in Ft. Lauderdale. And when I come, I'll be sure to bring my souvenir mug--they'll fill it with drip coffee for only a DOLLA'! Thank you, Archibald's, for a perfect start to what I'm sure will be a splendid day. Y'all are awesome.”
“Loved this coffee at first sip! It has a strong bold flavor and smells wonderful when brewing! I have never drank coffee where I had to grind the beans first, and now I don't think I can go back to those K-cup style coffees. Burst of Java has me hooked! I can't wait to see what else BOJ has to offer!”
“My husband and I stopped in for lunch, we both ordered the grass-fed beef burger, and it was a nice size! The burger tasted fresh and was flavorful. The fries were crispy and fresh as well.
Overall, the restaurant was nice and relaxed. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍔🍟😊”
“This is a great hotel with a beautiful pool that overlooks Ft Lauderdale beach and has a wonderful bar and kitchen. The burgers are great, so are the drinks and cocktails. Good gluten free (“gf”) options as well. We had burgers, fries and a Caesar salad - all good. Also good was the margarita and frozen rum drinks. The poolside chairs fill up fast - get there early! It can get windy, so they have to take down the umbrellas. Otherwise, plenty of shade - they’ve even got a ‘sunscreen bar’ with lots of options. Pool is on the 7th floor and requires keycard access. Attendants are very helpful, as are the wait staff.”

“Josh made our large, Italian sub (with lots of passion & love); Corbin rang me up with the biggest smile. I was welcomed with a warm greeting & professionalism! Thank you for hiring such a wonderful team at Laspada 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale! They are an asset to your wonderful business!!!
Lisa & Harry”
“Go check this place out. We got the brunchito breakfast wrap, some empanadas and a coffee. It was all great! the emapadas were home made, the wrap with Argentinian sausage was so good. And the potatoes had so much flavor. I highly recommend this place. Wish I would have checked them out sooner. Also the staff was super nice. Can't wait to go back and try some more of their items.”
“10/10 would recommend! 🎉 Evan, the owner, was working this evening when we dropped in and he was immediately warm and welcoming, offering us samples and making us feel instantly at home! Every sample made it harder to choose what to get because every sample was delicious! If you are going to get ice cream, skip the commercial chains and support this in-house made ice cream - it’s delicious! I had the mint chip and it had a generous amount of HUGE chocolate chunks in it! We will definitely be back again!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Last night, we dined at Maass and had the privilege of sitting at the chef’s counter. The experience was nothing short of amazing! They graciously accommodated my veganism, although I must admit, I indulged and opted for vegetarian dishes last night. Meanwhile, LD fully immersed himself in the tasting menu. Chef Ryan Ratino, along with his Michelin-accoladed team at Maass in Fort Lauderdale, curated a truly spectacular experience.”
“I invited 4 ladies for our Supper Club to join me at Seasons 52, which is usually held at one of our homes (we've been meeting for 15 years). With a few ladies out of town, this time we chose to get together at a restaurant, and I chose Seasons 52 because it is consistently a great choice. The food, the atmosphere and the service. Brenna was so helpful in suggesting a sparkling wine and flatbread to start, ready for us just as we were seated. The table was just perfect, very quiet. And the food was delicious. We so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and hospitality for our Supper Club dinner.”
“Today I stopped by the Plantation location, ordered two meals to go and was very disappointed when I returned back to my office. The first one was customized (Autumn salad) and although everything was told to the young man at the beginning, he omitted half of everything that was needed to make a salad. Now the 2nd order was a market plate (honey adobo), not sure why he added black lentils, no lime and tajin and a piece of chicken so small, you would have thought it was a kid's meal. So, if NO was an answer if I would return.”
“I am so GRATEFUL for the Gratefuel Cafe! Owner Santiago is passionate, purposeful, and allll of their food packs a punch of goodness🕊️Santiago is a stickler for ethically sourced and sustainable ingredients making me feel at ease ordering out or dining in almost every week! The Cafe is also a hub for fun and healthy community events of all kinds. You reap what you sow and Gratefuel’s harvest is abundant🍇”
“This is our to go to place with family and friends. We love the intimate and authentic Italian cooking, this is a gem. The calamari and specials are awesome! 👏”
“Had such a great experience at YOLO! Reuben was our server and he was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. His service genuinely made the experience even better. If you go, definitely ask for Ruben — 10/10 service! 🤍”
“It's been a few years since our last visit, we had relatives in from New Jersey. We were 4 for dinner last nite Saturday evening. Make a reservation!! The service was/is outstanding. The Chicken Zuckerello, Chicken Michelangelo and the Chicken Scarpiello were delicious, flavorful and the portions are plentiful. We took the leftover Chicken Michelangelo and Chicken Zuckerello home and had them for dinner tonite. The Chicken Milanese could have been better, a little bland and quite dry. Overall, though, a great dining experience.”
“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.”
“Waiting for our cruise departure tomorrow and decided to eat out at BKK for dinner. Service was outstanding. Pun,our server, was very attentive. Food was amazing. Best sushi I’ve had. Hubby tried a Thai meal and it was wonderful. Highly recommend.”
Fine Dining
“Yesterday was my first time dining at Jay’s on Bestie day and my best friend and I had a very nice time. Our server Michael was awesome. John the manager was also nice and came to say hello at the end of our meal. The food was delicious from the starters to the dessert. I will definitely go back again.”
“We were so glad we chose Truluck’s for dinner! We were celebrating our parents’ 28th anniversary, and, without asking, the restaurant prepared the table with a card and flowers. Food was wonderful, we had the miso glazed seabass, which as incredibly flaky and soft, the bernaise salmon and the snapper as well. Everything was cooked well and was not lacking flavor. Also, the carrot cake was probably the best I’ve ever had.
Now to talk about the service- Gary was absolutely the man. Extremely polite, well mannered, and answered any questions we had. He was a pleasure to have around, we enjoyed his service greatly!
Compliments to the chef and to the team at Truluck’s - we appreciate it!”
“Had a wonderful brunch experience\\! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented\\. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish\\. Everything came together for a great brunch experience\\. Definitely a place I would recommend and come back to\\!”
“We Loved this dinner Experience sitting at the Chef's kitchen counter! Chef Lindsey provided us with a delicious, unique 4- course dinner of Italian/Indian fusion! Each meal was tasty in their own way combining flavors of savory and sweet! She explained each dish and presentation. The Restaurant People-Our servers and everyone on staff was helpful and attentive providing us with drinks and refilling waters. Restroom was clean and cozy. You have the option to sit at the big communal table or the kitchen side counter to watch the chefs in action! Wine pairing, drink menu and full bar is available. Get there early and check out the cool Rooftop bar!”
“Our waitress, Jennifer, was outstanding! She provided excellent service and truly made our experience enjoyable. The drinks were amazing, especially the Brown Butter Old Fashioned—it was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, the stuffed chicken was a major disappointment. We both ordered it, and the chicken was overcooked and barely stuffed. We've had the stuffed chicken at Ruth's Chris before, and typically the stuffing is generously filled and oozing out, while the chicken is moist and flavorful. Unfortunately, that was not the case last night. The chicken was lackluster and definitely not what we expected from a prestigious steakhouse like Ruth's Chris. While Jennifer and the drinks were exceptional, the quality of the main course did not meet the standard we've come to expect from Ruth's Chris.”
“Very good service. Outstanding food. Each dish was cooked perfectly. Wife tried a cocktail bubble n trouble it was very cool looking with the dry ice making the fog and bubbles. I had a filet and added a lobster tail. It was so good. We split a side of the jalepano augratin potatoes which had a little kick to them. Wife and the scallops and a lobster tail. Carrot cake for desert was 10 layers.
One of my top dining experiences.a little expensive but worth the extra for the high quality food.”
“Lori provided us with exceptional service. She was very friendly and bubbly. She always had a smile on her face. She was very professional and knowledgeable. Kudos to Lori for making our night. She was an absolute ray of sunshine.”
Cheap Eats
“This place is UNREAL. Best cheesesteak I’ve found in FL and the Boston beef 3way is the real deal. Tasted just like home! The pizza is outstanding too. My family and I absolutely loved this place and we will be back! Anyone who wants something authentic from the northeast - this is your place!!”
“I had the hibiscus, green tea on tap and the kreature feature shot with mystery. Ooze was delicious. Definitely worth checking out , and the atmosphere is great. And it's a very friendly bar. The owners, Eric and Amy are awesome and have really achieved their dream!”
“The Salad Boss FTL has the best salads. I bring my grandchildren and they are ages 8-13 and THEY LOVE IT. The salads are healthy, large proportions and the salad dressings are all on point. I even order Uber when I can’t get there when working from home. Fast delivery and always fresh.”
“The Golden Rose is by far the best ice cream I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, the owner was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuine. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home and even let us try several different flavors of his homemade ice cream.
If you’re visiting Fort Lauderdale, this is a must-visit spot, especially if you’re an ice cream lover. You can truly taste the care and passion that goes into every flavor. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back soon!
Highly recommend The Golden Rose to anyone looking for amazing ice cream and exceptional hospitality!”
“Great food and great service. You must come here while in town. The sandwiches here were delicious but the restaurant manager was even nicer and super friendly and helpful! I recommend the Philly Cheesesteak with provolone. But the highlight here is the service. This place is the place to eat the night before your cruise sets sail here in Ft. Lauderdale. Definitely worth trying if you’re in town!”
“Súper rico! Un pedazo de 🇵🇪 en Pompano, la atención del chef fue excelente”
“I’ve been coming to Ethos Greek Bistro since their grand opening, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale. The food is always served to perfection fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that comes out. What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. From the bussers and kitchen staff to the servers and management, everyone treats you like family. Walking into Ethos never feels like going to a restaurant —it feels like walking into your second home. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, great service, and a warm atmosphere, Ethos is a must visit. Fort Lauderdale is lucky to have a place like this.”

“Tarpon River Brewery is absolutely awesome!!! The staff is always on point, and Kristen has always made us feel at home. We like to bring our Dachshund Oscar up there and he is always welcomed like a celebrity. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we have ever ordered to eat has been amazing. If you don't try the Cluck Norris, you are missing out. A brewery with great beer and great food, is very hard to find. Great job!!”
“Great food and atmosphere. Excellent service. Highly recommend!🩷”
“It's been a few years since our last visit, we had relatives in from New Jersey. We were 4 for dinner last nite Saturday evening. Make a reservation!! The service was/is outstanding. The Chicken Zuckerello, Chicken Michelangelo and the Chicken Scarpiello were delicious, flavorful and the portions are plentiful. We took the leftover Chicken Michelangelo and Chicken Zuckerello home and had them for dinner tonite. The Chicken Milanese could have been better, a little bland and quite dry. Overall, though, a great dining experience.”
“Ian made our night at Cucina Moderna. He was friendly and attentive without ever hovering, knew the menu inside and out, and his recommendations were spot on. Everything came out on time, our drinks never ran low, and he genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. Great service like this is hard to find, and it's a big reason we'll be back. Ask for Ian if you can!”

I do wish they had the spinach and mushroom ravioli from before when it was called Lips. Entertainment was even better. The show was full of sass and spice! Everyone was nice and helpful. My friend and I had the best time. Her first time, my second after many years. Definitely will go back.”

“Last night, we dined at Maass and had the privilege of sitting at the chef’s counter. The experience was nothing short of amazing! They graciously accommodated my veganism, although I must admit, I indulged and opted for vegetarian dishes last night. Meanwhile, LD fully immersed himself in the tasting menu. Chef Ryan Ratino, along with his Michelin-accoladed team at Maass in Fort Lauderdale, curated a truly spectacular experience.”
“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!”

“We just had dinner there and the food and the server was great but they lost our debit card from the table to check out. Instead of just saying I’m sorry and don’t worry about the bill they asks for another card. Now we are having to cancel a card they lost and running late to get my nephew back his broadway show tour at the performance arts center because we are looking for the card. Very dissatisfied in there customer service”
“Every aspect of the experience was above average. And the priming is fair and a real value for the quality of the food. But especially memorable was the service.
Jackie was attentive and so pleasant. We observed her chatting with Guests, making menu suggestions and her personality was upbeat and genuinely friendly.
We'll be back and will bring our friends, largely because of the great service and the food quality.”

“Great atmosphere, great food always consistent. Had 20 of my friends there for New Year's Eve dinner. Place was packed as it usually is. Walter the owner was greeting guest as they were arriving. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, once we got seated our server Angie started with our drink orders. Let me tell you the service was impeccable; she was great dealing with 20 of us. From appetizers to the main course our food came to the table hot and delicious. Some of my friends were there for the first time and could not believe how well the place ran for a busy holiday. I want to thank Marco for helping set up the reservation and especially Angie our server. Thank you, Walter, for your hospitality. Anthony's is my new favorite place. Happy New Year!”
“I was absolutely blown away by my experience there. So many different types of guys and while I’m more mature 50+ and don’t have a six pack it didn’t one difference. I was able to watch amd still get off-strongly encourage you get a locker. I did and it made all the difference in the world. Tops, bottoms, you name it. I went on a Thursday night- they said it was slow. I’ll be back tonight- Saturday when it’s supposed to be super hot- both temperature and because of the night..”
“Today I stopped by the Plantation location, ordered two meals to go and was very disappointed when I returned back to my office. The first one was customized (Autumn salad) and although everything was told to the young man at the beginning, he omitted half of everything that was needed to make a salad. Now the 2nd order was a market plate (honey adobo), not sure why he added black lentils, no lime and tajin and a piece of chicken so small, you would have thought it was a kid's meal. So, if NO was an answer if I would return.”
“Theos was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. The Hostess was super accommodating and friendly. Our server Marco was superb. They had me after the Greek salad with the freshest ingredients and wonderful flavor. Great food, great service and reasonable prices is the hallmark of great restaraunts. Theos is the best.”
“On Saturday June 6th After driving by this place numerous times, i decided to stop by and check it out. Since there is nothing like a good Bagel! The door was locked! Tina came to the door and asked, 'Can i help you?' I informed her that i was only craving a bagel! She said I'm sorry, but we are closed. I guess after seeing my disappointment she asked if i had been there before...i said no. She then said please come in and how can i help you! Tina went above and beyond to help out a new customer. Not only did she prepare one of the best Bagels ive ever had she gave me two more bagels for free! So, now when I'm craving a bagel there's only one place i will go! CAPITAL BAGEL!! SHOUT OUT TO TINA... WHEN MOST WOULD HAVE LEFT IT AT IM CLOSED!”

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.”
“The best food and service in town! The food is fresh and the wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. ! Dustin, the hostess, is gracious and courteous, and everyone is professional, friendly, and attentive. All the food is made in-house, including the pasta, and is well-priced. Thank you, Louie Bossie, and your wonderful staff, especially Dustin. We will be back! 💗”

Also ordered banana pudding and bread pudding which was literally best i ever had!”
“This place was amazing! The ambiance on the outside overlooking the boats made dinner very enjoyable. The food was delicious and though it was my first time there, it won’t be my last. The Snapper had great taste as well as presentation. I had the opportunity to meet the Executive Chef Mr. Alexis. Very professional and compassionate about the food that was being delivered. Thanks again for making our first time there a time never to forget.

“what an amazing experience with A&S Deli Catering! Working with Amanda and the team at A&S was such a pleasure. We hosted a luncheon for 55 people to celebrate my grandmother's 100th birthday (i know, wow!) and from the moment I connected with Amanda I knew this was going to be the easiest part of the planning. She quickly called me to get info on the event, chatted me through the catering menus and offerings and worked with me to come up with a menu that would offer a variety of dishes so there was something for everyone. the quote came quickly, was simple and easy to understand and even making the payments was smooth sailing. The day of the event, I got a call alerting me the team was on the way to set up and they arrived right on time, coming in and out quickly to set up where we told them we wanted to food, and left within 15 minutes. I was amazed! no mess, no fuss, just professional and so friendly. And the food...wow. This was a house FULL of Italians, so for every single guest to ask me where we ordered the food from because it was that good is a HUGE compliment! We ordered baked ziti, lemon chicken, eggplant parm, meatballs and sausage and peppers and there was so much food that everyone ate and lots of people took leftovers! A&S is our new go to catering company, we are so pleased thank you to the whole team for helping us make my grandmothers 100th birthday so fabulous!”
“I’ve been coming to Ethos Greek Bistro since their grand opening, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale. The food is always served to perfection fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that comes out. What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. From the bussers and kitchen staff to the servers and management, everyone treats you like family. Walking into Ethos never feels like going to a restaurant —it feels like walking into your second home. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, great service, and a warm atmosphere, Ethos is a must visit. Fort Lauderdale is lucky to have a place like this.”
