“A Funky Beach Restaurant With Good Food”

2/2 found this review helpful

This place was recommended by our Hilton hotel concierge as having good food. (It is 3 blocks from the Hilton, right on the beach front.)

When we rolled in, I thought this bustling multi-level was a little shop worn, even dirty. It is poorly lit, dingy and needs a make-over. I was prepared for disaster.

I was wrong. Our pleasant waiter quickly brought adult beverages which were cold. Then, the food - which was good. I had a lovely grouper dish and the wife had another fish special. Perfect fish. Not frozen junk ; this fish was fresh and beautifully prepared. The total bill was about $80 and represented a good value for superb fish.

We returned for lunch the next day and had "OK" sandwiches. Dinner seems better than lunch.

I can recommend the expensive fish dishes without reservation. If you want luxury surroundings or hate crowds, try some other place.

“A definite stop on our Fort Lauderdale vacations!!”

1/1 found this review helpful

We have had several dinners here and have never been disappointed.
There is a varied selection of cuisine to choose from such as seafood, italian and american (steaks/chops), and one of the few restaurants that has an escargot appetizer.
Service is top notch and friendly.
This place is popular and gets crowded but usually not too long of a wait, besides there is a large bar/lounge open to the sidewalk and you can people watch and enjoy the ambiance.
A definite stop on our Fort Lauderdale vacations!!
There is an upstairs but I prefer the street level to watch the world go by.

3/3 found this review helpful

We have avoided this restaurant in the past because there was always a long wait for a table - what a big mistake!!! On this visit we decided to give it a try, we were told that it would be a 20 minute wait for a table but we only waited for about 10 minutes. The food was fantastic, great location and nice ambience. We enjoyed it so much that we went back 3 more times. The service was always good, the wait staff varied from happy and jokey to fairly sombre but I suppose that is just down to personalities and you will get that everywhere.

We will certainly eat there on our next visit to Fort Lauderdale.
