“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.”
“Good food and service, I will be back. This place is always busy no matter what time of day.”
“Pleasant surprise. My wife and I enjoyed our meals. Outstanding service. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic Atmosphere is the best, services are incredible friendly , food is delicious We had our 29 anniversary celebration and we felt so loved. Everyone is so kind 👏👏 Great place to take family and friends I am strongly recommend it 👏👏”
“Dani is a great bartender/ waitress. She follows up kindly and relentlessly — always ensuring that you’re good. The smoky mule she made me was so good! 😊
The food is good enough — good and satisfying, but nothing to necessarily write home about. The tacos — ground beef marinated in chili, I think, and the mushroom tacos — were good; the black beans were fine. (They needed more seasoning.)
The guacamole and chips I had were also good and satisfying.
Dani made the experience (this time and the last time I was here for spring break/ in March).
Whenever I’m back in FLL, I’ll be back here. ☺”

“Me and my family came to celebrate my birthday a couple weeks back. The owner, Fabio runs an amazing staff and is very warm and personable always smiling and making you feel like family. This cozy authentic Italian restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful desserts. I Highly recommend!”
“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 😊”

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

“Laser Wolf is a great local "Stranger Things" themed bar serving up a wide variety of cold brewskis. The walls are filled to the brim with nostalgic memorabilia from the yester years of the 00's. They frequently have food trucks that visit, ranging from tasty smashy crispy burgers, to their own fantastic taco express food truck (best hot sauce!) and even a legendary Geisha master shows up every now and then. Only negative thing is that they never have Sam Adams. Music could be better too. No reggaeton. Still 5 stars I think.”
“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!”
“Hopi and Gian served our table last night and did an exceptional job . They were fun, professional, and very knowledgeable, making great suggestions. We enjoyed our experience very much and will back . Make sure to try the charred octopus!”
“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! 🥰”

“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!”
“This is my first time being at 1WLO, the rooftop is so cute and mostly covered which is nice bc Florida weather can be unpredictable. The food and drinks are also good too. I personally loved the zaddy drink and Jalisco cooler both were strong and tasty. The chicken tenders and fries were also really tasty and the dishware the spot uses is so cute. Jaimie was also an awesome and very friendly bartender.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

“Many many years ago when I was younger I used to come here later in life I moved to Detroit then they opened up a primanti's here years ago and I was really excited but fort Lauderdale always has my heart for the best spot how to come back again and try to give you another review because it's been so long”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“WOW! I can not tell you how long I have waited to try this place. We are from out of state (NC) and were suppose to go last May. Thankfully we finally made it here. The dishes were fantastic. The best Asian American food I have had - and I'm Asian. The server was so nice and we even talked about some Asian culture while we dined. We will definitely make this our spot when in Fort Lauderdale!”
“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.”
“It’s a good spot but honestly it’s overpriced for what you get $35 to eat by myself for Shawarma is OK but not great. The food quality is good but it’s not exceptional. I would like to say better things about it. I have better memories than it actually was the last time I was there.”
“Tonight my wife and I had two guests , one from out of town , and we spent a few hrs on the boat. We stopped here for dinner and it was packed. A server named Allie came over and checked to make sure we were on the list.When we were seated Allie took great care of us and the meal was great !!! Entrees, drinks and appetizers all great - price was surprisingly fair”
“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”
“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!”
Fine Dining
“Avner was our server and he was amazing. He was very attentive and making sure we were satisfied with every aspect of our meal and time at restaurant.
I did the Prix Frix menu and ordered the barbecue Salmon, sauce on the sweet side for me, but Salmon was cooked well and wasn’t dry.
Husband ordered Filet Mignon medium rare and Truffle Mashed potatoes all I can say was nothing was left on the plate. LOL.
We recommend Flemings.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Obviously the food was amazing. But I must say what made my experience so special was the service we received at the bar. Our seats were bar seats and I am so glad they were. The waitress was so friendly and was there for us every step of the way. She even came out with another plate of food for us after we finished our meals. I never had this level of service. I consider this place to be on the very top of the list for an excellent place to eat at with your friends and family. I even got to shake the hand of the owner before I left. Thank you everyone for your hospitality.”
“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.”
“The best sushi and Thai food in east Fort Lauderdale by far! 5 ⭐️ food and amazing service makes this place a must! Highly recommend”

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.”
Cheap Eats
“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.”
“We came for the coffee, ended up each getting a meal and drink. From the moment we stepped inside to the final bite and sip of or order the experiance was great!
Soft music selection playing, friends laughing and chatting at other tables.
The taste of the food and bread are top tier!
Wish we had this place back home!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Súper rico! Un pedazo de 🇵🇪 en Pompano, la atención del chef fue excelente”

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.”
“Jenna the bartender is amazing ? love the curry dish, service is also ?? good. Little pricey but worth it.”
“the food and service was excellent and we came all the way from Jersey Shore”
“Today I have the best experience, Kevin was behind the bar..... Excellent customer service, polite, professional and very friendly.....I am coming back next month with my entire family.... Thanks Kevin.”
“Tonight my wife and I had two guests , one from out of town , and we spent a few hrs on the boat. We stopped here for dinner and it was packed. A server named Allie came over and checked to make sure we were on the list.When we were seated Allie took great care of us and the meal was great !!! Entrees, drinks and appetizers all great - price was surprisingly fair”
“Had an awesome time at Lauderdale's Mini Ren Festival tonight! This spot is always coming up with great events.
An extra food truck would have been good. The one food truck there seemed understaffed but the other food option with the ribeye steaks... was good. Maybe an extra beer tent next year?
Other than that - everything was great and such a good time! Cool fights, music and vendors.”
“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.”
“Terrific ! Wonderful service from Joseph Best prime rib. Not too pricey. Plan to go again soon.”
“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🍇”
“Found this great little homemade pasta restaurant on an internet search. Thank goodness! A wonderful ambiance supported by an interactive staff and superb food. The manager was very engaging and certainly proud of the menu and their homemade pasta. The entrees (see photos) were great and the Bruschetta was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.”
“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.”
“Charming place with amazing food. Enjoyed the whole atmosphere. Great service. Would definitely recommend. Went out of their way to make my wife's dish just the way she wanted, even though it was not on the menu. Top notch...we will be back.”
“Great food. We had Thai food and calamari was amazing. Staff was friendly and easy going. Love this place !!!”
“Riquísimo Todos ea exquisito Recomendado: atención comida todo”
“Fantastic brewery. I felt at home there. Great beers. Awesome decor. Jared and the other bartenders were all welcoming. Best brewery I’ve been to in South Florida since I moved here.”
“This is a great place to dine! Totally recommend it! Great costumer service thank you Omar & Mario”
“The dip is great, with cheese, spinash and artichokes. We have 16' pizza with mushrooms very good. The dough is soft, very well cook.
Lot of free parking. The waitresses was pleasant.”
“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.”
“Go here! It's so fun! The beer was unique and delicious! They allow kids until 8pm and had some arcade games to entertain the youngsters. But most importantly the staff was friendly, kind, and would make Buddha proud!”
“Laser Wolf is a great local "Stranger Things" themed bar serving up a wide variety of cold brewskis. The walls are filled to the brim with nostalgic memorabilia from the yester years of the 00's. They frequently have food trucks that visit, ranging from tasty smashy crispy burgers, to their own fantastic taco express food truck (best hot sauce!) and even a legendary Geisha master shows up every now and then. Only negative thing is that they never have Sam Adams. Music could be better too. No reggaeton. Still 5 stars I think.”
“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!”
“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 Tacos and always fresh. The roasted tomato salsa is delightful! Family owners who do a great job!”
“Great place to dine food is delicious and Mario is the best host! Love this place😋”

“Had a great experience that I came back the next day and brought my whole group! Loved the beer! Loved the selection! The pizza was delicious. The chef even answered my questions about how he made the pizza and remembered me the next day. Super friendly staff and bartenders! I’ll be coming back any time I’m in town!”
“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!”
“My wife and I had breakfast at Fresh First. Excellent food and service. Meeting Big Mike, the owner, was also very nice. We are from North Carolina, but next time we are in Ft Lauderdale, we will go back.”
“Got a Thai Tea with boba and a Pad Thai. No complaints, everything was tasty! Came years ago and liked it then they shut down for a while.. seems like it's still good. Nice since they stay open late too. I had a late night Thai craving and figured I'd be SOL, but FUBO saved the day!”
“Avner was our server and he was amazing. He was very attentive and making sure we were satisfied with every aspect of our meal and time at restaurant.
I did the Prix Frix menu and ordered the barbecue Salmon, sauce on the sweet side for me, but Salmon was cooked well and wasn’t dry.
Husband ordered Filet Mignon medium rare and Truffle Mashed potatoes all I can say was nothing was left on the plate. LOL.
We recommend Flemings.”
“I won’t gatekeep my favorite sushi spot! 🍣🔥 This place is SO good it always hits the spot. Chef Qui and his team go above and beyond with their customer service. Quality is bomb dot com!!!!”
“Always a 10/10 experience every time I come here for brunch. I always order the lentil soup with every meal, which is always delicious and home-made. The lasagna on Fridays is always a must have, as well as the tuna sandwich. (They also have the good crispy fries 🤤🤤)”
“Everyone was so very nice! Food great and atmosphere lovely. We had a party of 16, with children- they were extremely kind and accommodating. Even brought cotton candy for the kids!”
“Flagler Village is getting a lovely new addition! I’m excited for the upcoming opening of Through the Vine at EON Squared. It sounds like the perfect place to unwind, enjoy a glass of wine, or a cocktail, and spend time with friends in a welcoming atmosphere.”
“We are sitting here now. we had the best server you could ask for "Ernesto" I had the short ribs, chimicurro potatoes and the plantains. I have to say this was the best meal and service we have had on our vacation. We can't wait to come back and have Ernesto as our server”
“Absolutely loved this authentic Irish pub!!! Barry was an amazing host, the food was perfect, and the atmosphere made us feel like we were in Ireland!!! Will be back every year during our annual conference. Fish & Chips, Shepard's Pie, Nachos...all amazing!!!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Hands down the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy in a decade. Highly recommended this for locals and travelers, it’s worth the trip 😋”
“The wife and I had excellent Cuban sandwiches here and the view is awesome as well! Our server took great care of us, so it’s easy to see why the ratings are so high! I highly recommend it!”
“I haven’t eaten here yet, but they just opened and I found out they have Sushi. I am the most excited person on the planet right now because this is in my building.”
“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu”

“My date and I had a great time! So much fun! Wonderful staff, good drinks, and loved the music!”
“Jerry was amazing like always. Had a great talk with the host Taylor. Loved it like always”
“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!”
“Visited from the UK, absolutely stunning place to visit, the outside could do with a bit of a makeover, but the inside and harbour were stunning. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious.”
“WOW! I can not tell you how long I have waited to try this place. We are from out of state (NC) and were suppose to go last May. Thankfully we finally made it here. The dishes were fantastic. The best Asian American food I have had - and I'm Asian. The server was so nice and we even talked about some Asian culture while we dined. We will definitely make this our spot when in Fort Lauderdale!”

“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! 💗”
“We had an amazing experience at Boatyard thanks to our server, Anna! She was very attentive, friendly, and professional, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her recommendations were great, and her positive energy made our dining experience even better. Excellent service from start to finish — we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend asking for Anna! ⭐”
“I literally can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our dining experience here. For someone who is incredibly choosy about my dining experience I was super impressed. Our server, Maxwell, for our first visit was incredibly knowledgeable about the different cuts of steak and provided excellent wine recommendations as well. He anticipated our every need and was very personable & polite. The Australian Waygu filet was the absolute best steak I have ever tasted and is now my first choice when available. Pair this with the Darioush Cabernet for an unforgettable experience. The chef prepares the steak perfectly to temperature which is not as common as it should be. Our second visit we sat in Sky’s section and she was absolutely lovely as well & provided equally perfect service. This is a must go to spot if you enjoy an upscale dining experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”
