Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“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.”

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 😊”

“Absolutely a five-star, must-experience adventure! Jeff and Jordan are simply incredible, radiating an infectious energy that transforms the atmosphere. Their vibrant personalities make every moment enjoyable, but it’s their culinary skills that truly steal the show. Each dish they create is a masterpiece, showcasing their passion and talent as chefs.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and excited. Jeff and Jordan’s enthusiasm is contagious, and their ability to engage with guests is unmatched. The whole experience is not just a meal; it's a delightful journey filled with laughter, creativity, and exceptional food.

I can’t recommend this experience enough—I’ll definitely be returning again and again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, look no further!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I LOVE THIS PLACE, FOOD AND THE MUSIC. VERY NICE PEOPLE .. GOD CONTINUE BLESSING THIS PEOPLE..”

“How great to have delicious authentic Israeli food! Wish they’d add a location closer to Deerfield Beach.”

“I had lunch today (07 MAY 2023) at the Marlin Bar. What a great experience. My server, Miranda, made a great suggestion for an appetizer - the coconut shrimp. Service was great. Food was terrific and the atmosphere is inviting.”

“Good food and high class restaurant. I recommend 100%”

“We loved this spot! We ordered the clásico ceviche, calamari, and Sakana roll. Everything is tapas style. We split those 3 and the both of us still left full. You can just taste the quality! We decided to go big and order the Sakana roll. It comes with fried lobster in too. It was absolutely delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. They do offer happy hour at the bar only so we will be returning for that. All in all, a great 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!”

“Great food, friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere.”

“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!”

“Great food and atmosphere. Excellent service. Highly recommend!🩷”

“All I can say is wow ! I am so pleasantly surprised at the impeccable service we received by our bartender Dustin, not only was his smile and energy contentious he was so passionate about his job it made me question why I haven’t been here sooner.this place is amazing but the staff especially Dustin made it fun and memorable. Oh and the music is amazing if you born in the 90s”

“Cuban sandwich outstanding rice and beans delicious empanadas chicken totally delicious”

“Has been on my list for awhile, glad I made it, food was delicious, nice wine, perfect service. Pasta was made in house, what a difference. We had a pizza and charcuterie board which was more than enough for 4.
A must try!”

“sashimi, Thai soup, duck soup, lucky wanton soup”

“What a great time. These ladies and guys know how to put an excellent show. Everyone had such great energy, the service was on point and the food was excellent. Looking forward to the next dinner and a show.”

“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.”

“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.

“My go to pizza spot anytime Im by the beach. Took my daughter to the beach for her spring break and she had to get her fave. Made fresh to order and never disappoints.”

“The staff Robert(mgr) and Rhonda(server) is absolutely amazing!”

“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!”

“Leah was the absolute best server we could of possibly had! She was so attentive to our table and helped to our every need! If we needed water… she brought water, if we needed tobasco, she brought tobasco! She was an angel from above! Would recommend! Preesh <3”

“Excellent food, Anastasia was super attentive. Handled our large party right before close very kindly after a lot of us came in late from our flights. Beautiful venue as well.”

“Love how moist these brownies are! They have the perfect sweet flavor (not overly sweet!). Warm them up in the microwave and voila! Heaven on every bite👌🏻👌🏻”

“Mi love their $6 dollar meals you get a chance to try everything according to the day of the week! 🥰 affordable and on the go! Follow me @artistjewlz for more foodie advice 💓”

“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.”

“great food, great customer service, 10/10 must try again!”

“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.”

“Sophia was an outstanding server friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. She handled everything smoothly and made sure we had exactly what we needed. Great service! We’ll definitely be back for her.”

“We were served by Ashley, who was phenomenal from the start. We came in with our luggage since we were there on Spring Break for a cruise, and she offered to have us keep it up front with her and she would watch it for us so we wouldn’t have to deal with it sitting around our table. Was on top of everything from the beginning. Couldn’t have done better”

“I travel for work all over the country. This DD (at Commercial and Powerline in Ft. Lauderdale) is the BEST I have ever had the privilege to visit. EVERY-TIME I visit I am consistently provided with exceptional customer service, and no matter how complex the order, it’s provided timely and complete accuracy! Kudos!”

“Really fresh, authentic Korean food in a warm atmosphere 😋”

“What an amazing coffee shop!! Enjoying being a regular here this week! Coffee and atmosphere is awesome!!”

“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! 🥰”

“They made a beautiful custom cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday.”

“Pizza is very good, reasonably priced. they sell by the slice and offer meal deals. Definitely recommend”

“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🍇”

“Awesome place with great staff if you are around the area.”

“Food is so freaking good the junjun rice is omg the chicken n sauce is omg I will be going back ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️👌👌👌👌”

“Everyone here is so nice, you can tell they prioritize customer service. Not to mention my favorite meal which is the Alfredo pasta with steak, which always fills me up completely. Something about the Alfredo sauce they use makes it taste refreshing. 100% recommend”

“The best sushi and Thai food in east Fort Lauderdale by far! 5 ⭐️ food and amazing service makes this place a must! Highly recommend”

“GREAT service, great coffee, great coffee shop!!!”

“Had lunch there today. We are out of town for a cruise and like to patronize the local businesses when able. Great food, friendly, and well priced. Would stop again when in the area!”

“Absolutely loved this place - made us feel really welcome and the food was all cooked fresh to order. Big portions, tasty and a cake slice that was huge & delicious Highly recommend 💛”

“Always a great meal at Epazote! It is a must stop if in the Lauderdale area! Wonderful and friendly staff make the experience even better”

“Delicious, great atmosphere. It is worth it”

“Thank you very much, the beautiful ladies recommended empanadas so we ordered a spicy beef & a caprese and they were fantastic. This restaurant is going on our list of favorites !”

“Our first trip to Ft. Lauderdale started at Monas. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed as a local. We have spent 6 out of 7 nights sitting in an atmosphere of fun, laughter, and great jukebox music. The bartenders, Jason, Dale, Marc and Dan were fantastic. This bar brings back the old world Gay Bar of male community. Take the time and skip the club. Close your grindr and meet people. Thank you Monas for making our Ft. Lauderdale trip amazing.”

“This place is a wonderful surprise, it's like Ali Baba's cave...an exceptional little restaurant”

“Súper rico! Un pedazo de 🇵🇪 en Pompano, la atención del chef fue excelente”

“Just do it!!! so much better than a recent restaurant meal that I had and while I'm visiting Fort Lauderdale I'll be probably there every night for the rest of my stay”

“WOW! Fresh amazing sandwich fast. And the amount of food you get it terrific. Fun to watch them toss the sliced meat down the assembly line too. They were patient as well as you asked about the options. Great people and food.”

“Breakfast is delicious. Cold glasses for the beer. Beautiful beach view and perfect location.”

“the food and service was excellent and we came all the way from Jersey Shore”

“A lovely diver bar, been coming here for a long time. Nice place to socialize, grab a cheap drink, play pool and to enjoy the night. Amazing staff/bartenders, I always will come here first then any bar.”

“The Resto Cafe has many delicious options for food, beverages, snacks, breakfast, and lunch! The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and go above and beyond for their customers! I really enjoy visiting the Resto Cafe and am there several times per week. Our whole office enjoys the Resto Cafe and their wonderful team!”

“lugar donde puedes pasar un tiempo agradable... te tomas unas cerveza y la puedes disfrutar junto con una hamburguesa yo Les recomiendo la Black amb Blue”

“Jenna the bartender is amazing ? love the curry dish, service is also ?? good. Little pricey but worth it.”

“Riquísimo Todos ea exquisito Recomendado: atención comida todo”

“Sushi and the menu is full of great choices, the Thai food is amazing. Service is on point and friendly. Gotta get there early for lunch, they pack the house!”

“We just had lunch here today and the food was great! I had the Mediterranean Salad my husband had the Steak Salad and my son had the Philly cheese steak flatbread. Our server was the best as well. We had Kylee and not only was she personable, she also paid attention to detail. ❤️”

“The food and drinks are so delicious! What an incredible dinner. I cannot wait to go back to Fort Lauderdale because I’m dying to go to this restaurant again!”

“Great service. Quality food.”

“The food and service at Flemings is always impeccable, even on a busy holiday. My only suggestion is to lower the music volume outside. It was a bit loud, though not an unreasonable volume, would have been nicer if it was softer. All-in-all, Flemings is always wonderful!”

“First time here for Mother’s Day dinner and our experience was excellent. If you get the chance to have Robyn as your expert (she is so
much more than a server), you are in for a phenomenal experience. We ordered the burrata and steak tartar as appetizers. For our meal, we had the scallops, Parmesan Sole, truffle Mac n cheese and crab fried rice. Every single thing was amazing. The Parmesan sole and Mac n cheese though may have been 2 of the best things I’ve ever tasted. We were truly blown away. Our 17 yo son was with us and got to experience a culinary experience like no other.”

“amazing all the time! definitely a must”

“She is amazing!!! You need to try Piña Colada flavor!!! Best cake of the world!!! Thanks Panchis for make every ocassion perfect!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Jerry was amazing like always. Had a great talk with the host Taylor. Loved it like always”

“Twice in 2 weeks have had the same experience! Everything good if you like a 20-25?minute wait between courses! Not acceptable!
Think will have to rethink this place!
Disappointing.”

“Great Food Excellent Service & Extremely Classy 💕”

“Chef Lyndsey and her team are incredible. You need to get yourself to a TRP Taste dinner! It’s such a unique, intimate, creative and delicious place to enjoy a dinner date. Can’t wait to 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.”

“We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday. The manager took our cake and candles and told our server about them. Our server Adonis went above and beyond all expectations. He took flowers in the back to bring out with the cake and even put them on a vase. He asked me to give him a heads up on who the birthday girl was. He took out pictures. Finally he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and allowed us to get separate checks. He even accommodated a late guest arrival for a total of 8 people. He was so nice and friendly and the reason why we will be back! Thank you Adonis and Del Mar for great food and service!”

“Beautiful atmosphere, superior friendly service and delicious, flavorful food.”

“Excellent service. Mostly good food. Had to both send our steaks back. Asked for medium rare and got medium and well done. 2nd go around, we got 1 medium rare and 1 rare. Luckily I wanted mine to go, so rare allowed me to reheat it at home, but for $200 you'd think they could cook a steak properly. All said, best Ceaser salad I've ever had, awesome seasoning on the steak and on the lobster tail especially, and very good garlic mashed potatoes. The steak also was of very high quality, and my partner said her 2nd steak was excellent ( I haven't reheated mine yet). Dessert was a cheesecake. Excellent also.”

“Food was excellent, tasty, and a big portion, serves a very nice as well. Our food arrived at the table via robot., super cool! Such a great dining experience.”

“Good food good vibes nice service great people”

“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!”

“Our new favorite place Can't believe we have been sleeping on this place since it's literally down the street from my house. Punkys Tacos is an absolute vibe and the food is fire. 🔥 We are already planning what we are getting next time Our server Julie was great with suggestions of favorites especially since it was our first time. Queso dip and Chips - the addition of chorizo was a nice twist that jazzed this classic up Cheetodilla - I cant even put into words this quesadilla with a hot cheeto twist. My daughter ❤️ loved it Fish tacos - perfectly crunchy Mahi with Pink corn shells .. Pink !!!!! The atmosphere of the place was enjoyable with music 🎶 and table settings that gave it a homey feel. Next Friday is there 1 year anniversary and they are having a big party. Go check them out.”

“Nice people and good food in a casual atmosphere. Support local!”

“Absolutely delicious food in a cool, laid back atmosphere.”

“It’s delicious, healthy breakfast 🍳 Friendly smiley faces. 😍”

“The best French patisserie in South Florida. Keep up the hard work to bring the best quality and friendly service!”

“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 visited La Bottega Caffè on Bayview Drive, and it had a really warm, inviting feel. The staff was kind and welcoming, which made the experience even nicer. I tried a cappuccino along with a pastry, and both were fresh and really enjoyable. The atmosphere felt relaxed—perfect for sitting down and taking a break for a bit. It came across as a comfortable neighborhood spot where you can enjoy good coffee without any rush.”

“I’ve had really good ice cream in the past, but after coming to Golden, I quickly realized I’ve never had REAL* homemade, mind- blowing, life altering ice cream.

I walked in tonight, after seeing all the good reviews, and with very high expectations. And boy, it did NOT disappoint.

The owners are real life angels too, which totally justified every dollar (which was totally reasonable for the quality) and each calorie (support local!) The flavors are super unique and there’s something for everyone. By the time I thought to get a photo, I had already enjoyed it a little too much.

I went classic (vanilla), but the honey lavender was also a dream for the taste buds. 💭 🌙”

“What a great experience. We happened to just find this place while on vacation and the food staff and atmosphere was wonderful. Definitely recommend.”

“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!”

“Ordered a Buffalo Extra Chicken with blue cheese and a tropical rice bowl the Mac was super rich and creamy food was ready on the spot the tropical tasted super fresh and was visually appealing the chef in the back was super nice and courteous 10/10 Definitely Coming Back !!”

“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.”

“It’s a cool place, I won’t take that away from them. But I’ve been there a few times and there’s definitely an “in” crowd that seems to be there every time I go. Kind of feels cliquey. And I’ve asked for flavored tea a few times and idk if they’re out or just not listening but I end up with a non flavored tea that I just kind of accept and deal with. It would be nice if the bartenders or whatever you call them actually ask your name or say thank you after you pay them instead of just walking away. Just seems like there’s two rungs of service.”

“The staff Robert(mgr) and Rhonda(server) is absolutely amazing!”

“Zona fresca rarely disappoints. I can't think of a better Mexican restaurant in south Florida to be honest. Their burritos are always on point and the salsa bar just enhances the experience. This is a roast pork burrito and as you can see it's packed with pork.”

“I LOVE THIS PLACE, FOOD AND THE MUSIC. VERY NICE PEOPLE .. GOD CONTINUE BLESSING THIS PEOPLE..”

“Cuban sandwich outstanding rice and beans delicious empanadas chicken totally delicious”

“Very good food I recommend to stop by is taste the oxtail is so good and the right price”

“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.”

“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!”

“Been a meat eater all my life! BUT! I'm trying this vegan menu for the first time and the "Vegan Junkie, making me wonder? 🤔🧐😁”

“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.”

“I will never patronize this business again. Their workers, a specific bartentender, posts prejudice comments on Facebook! Nasty hateful comments. Stay away from this plane! No interest in promoting hate!”

“A group of 4 of us dined at North Italia Ft Lauderdale last night. We all had a wonderful time. We arrived a few minutes ahead of our reservation and were seated immediately. Our server Teanna (I hope the spelling is correct) did a fabulous job, she was personable, knew the menu very well and helped us to navigate the menu. Special thanks to the manager Natalie for taking hospitality to the next level. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back!”

“I just wanna give the biggest shout out to Manny for hooking me up with potato salad today. I felt like I won the lottery Manny. You were so cool and I so appreciate you. Your potato salad is outstanding and delicious! Up top my friend! Everybody go to Ft Lauderdale Mission barbecue bc they Rock! Ty you Manny and staff! Love you guys and gals”

“Went to D’s for a football game love the burger And Julie the bartender provides an amazing service Also she makes a great old fashioned”

“Exceptional service ! Beautiful atmosphere !!”

“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! 💗”

“Michelle the hostess is an absolute Darling She is Helpful Courteous , always Happy and greets everyone with the Sweetest Smile ! Chefs are well seasoned and experts in their cuisines. Delicious Fare Friendly charming vibes! Indoor outdoor seating great for families and solo dining cozy for couples bar seating also. Best Service !! Highly Recommend Shuck and Dive Victoria Park ft lauderdale.”

“Best burgers! Very tasty!”

“Boatyard gets a lot right. The waterfront setting is fantastic, the outdoor bar is comfortable with plenty of fans, and the indoor dining room is cool and inviting. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed South Florida marina dining.

The highlight of the meal was the blackened mahi mahi—light, flaky, and carrying an amazing oak-fired flavor that made it stand out from the typical seafood offering. The craft cocktails were also well done and worth exploring.

A special shoutout to the management team. During our visit, a manager stopped by the outdoor seating area to check on guests and even asked if anyone needed the fans turned up. That level of attention to the guest experience was appreciated.

And then there’s the garlic aioli. It comes with the Parmesan fries, but it was so good we ended up dipping a little of the mahi mahi into it as well. Absolutely addictive.

Unfortunately, the experience changed after a shift change. Service became noticeably less attentive, and we found ourselves getting up several times to walk around the bar just to get our server’s attention. It was a surprising contrast to the excellent service we received earlier in the evening. One weak service handoff shouldn’t overshadow an otherwise great restaurant, but service is part of the overall experience.

Bottom Line: Excellent food, great cocktails, beautiful waterfront atmosphere, attentive management, and a memorable waterfront setting. The service drop-off after shift change keeps this from being a 5-star visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

Order the blackened mahi mahi, the Parmesan fries, and prepare to become obsessed with the garlic aioli. 🌴🐟🍹”

“My 17 yea old had the whole Pampano and loved it!”

“wonderful date night. so romantic. staff is excellent and the food and drinks were divine”

“Food is amazing, lots of options to make a custom bowl or wrap. Workers are polite and very helpful.”

“We love this deli and bakery! Everything is so fresh and the staff is extremely helpful and personable! We had a ribeye steak sandwich. The steak was great quality, the semolina bread was crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The fresh mozzarella was melted and gooey. It was the best steak sandwich we've ever had! We also shared the A&S special Italian sandwich, potato salad and antipasto salad which had a very unexpected kick to it but in a very good way! The sandwiches were huge. We have half of each for tomorrow along with the delicious salads. We also tried the spicy, homemade Italian sausage which was also delicious! We can't wait to go back! Thank you for bringing a wonderful italian deli and bakery to Florida! Highly recommend!”

“Just discovered PORFA Coffee in Oakland Park and I’m obsessed. If you haven’t been yet, go. I’ll be here every morning from now on.”

“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.”

“Jel absolutely crushed it. Passionate about cocktails, and led me on a journey for the evening. Ended up with 3 cocktails that told a story from start to finish and I feel well taken care of with her suggestions. The nightcap was everything I could ask for, and the Cubano was absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Extremely well done, and so happy about the passion and trust in the staff.”

“Great coffee and a really cozy atmosphere ☕️ The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a nice place to relax or meet friends. I’ll be coming back!”

“Susan was incredibly nice and friendly and made our experience even better. The food at Naked Farmer was amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’d come back to!”

“Súper recomendado, excelente servicio”

“Through the vine is such a spectacular place. The food and drinks are so good, and their brunch menu is amazing. Kay and Cam were so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend !”

“Best ice cream spot in Davie Florida!!!! I’ll recommend 100%. It’s from having a family night out to a date night. The staff are amazing. Jaylin will make you feel welcome greet with a smile and want to learn how to make ice cream. If you haven’t visit yet what are you waiting for???? Bring your family and tell your friend’s neighbors everybody. Wait I’ll join too.”

“I recently hosted my twin boys’ first birthday and baptism celebration at Emily’s Garden in Fort Lauderdale, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The space is absolutely beautiful, full of charm and personality, and perfect for a special occasion.
I rented out the entire outdoor area, and the team went above and beyond to set everything up exactly how I envisioned. They were so accommodating and really paid attention to the details that mattered to me.
The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and made the whole process feel easy and seamless from start to finish. All of my guests had a great time and couldn’t stop complimenting the venue.
The food was delicious, and the space itself is very kid-friendly, which made it perfect for our celebration. I’m so grateful for such a memorable experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to host a special event!”

“Cool vibe, comfortable chairs, and nice wait staff”

“I had a wonderful experience today with my husband. The staff were very helpful and lovely. Keilyn Zack Donovan and Evan were all so helpful and really fun to chat with. Also the conversations they have are really funny. A very nice and welcoming vibe.”

“The food was amazing! Best butter chicken I have ever had, creamy with subtle hint of heat. You know it’s a good Indian restaurant when you get the sweet smell outside, but no smell inside! Fantastic!”

“Loved this place! The ice cream was creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. So many amazing options, and the staff was super friendly. Perfect stop for a sweet treat—especially with kids!”

“Cool spot for really good coffee.
