“Had an amazing experience at Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar in Dania Pointe! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the service was outstanding. A special shoutout to Chelsea, who made our visit even better with her friendly attitude, attentiveness, and excellent recommendations.
The highlight of our visit was definitely the street corn dip, absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and perfect for sharing. It was one of the best appetizers we’ve had in a long time. Thanks to Chelsea and the entire team for a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by!“

“Ok, so there was a lot going on today cinco de mayo celebration, the girls in the front desk were new, but they kept their cool and not once did they get rude. Juan our waiter zipped around from table to table and again even though he forgot some stuff he kept calm and always served with a smile. I appreciated all of it. even the hostess was really nice too. I share this because I too am a business owner and know things can get hectic. But just like we can complain we also gotta give flowers when they are due. Thank you guys we had a great time. Oh and live bad and music was great too! 🔥“

“First time here. We were a hesitant when we arrived at the entrance if we should stay as the host was very inattentive looking at her phone, we gather the menus and decided to give it a chance. Besides the host attitude, the rest of the night was great. Drinks were super good, mojitos were delicious, conch fritters were awesome and wings were excellent. Our server was very attentive and sweet. The music was great! Definitely recommend this place just ignore the host 🤣“

“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.“

“APT 9F in Wilton Manors is one of those places that just gets it right. I love this place. Carol, Nancy, Ali, and the whole crew make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the vibe is exactly what Wilton Manors should be — friendly, fun, relaxed, and full of good energy.

The drinks are great, the people are great, and the atmosphere makes it almost impossible not to have a good time.

Honestly, if you can’t have a good time at APT 9F, that’s totally on you.That last line is the money line. Very you.“

“Wonderful food and such excellent service! Definitely will be back! Loved the fritters and the poutine, sooo yummy!“

“We had the BEST experience at Proof in Wilton Manors. From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible — stylish, welcoming, and just such a fun energy. We even had the chance to meet the owner, which made it that much more special. You can truly feel the passion and pride behind this place. And let’s talk about the food. Every single thing we ordered was outstanding — beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What really impressed us was how amazing the gluten-free options are. Not just one or two safe choices — actual thoughtfully crafted dishes that feel just as indulgent and exciting as everything else on the menu. That’s rare, and it matters. If you’re in Wilton Manors, this is a must. We’re already planning our next visit.“

“So sad to hear Carousel Club is closing because this place was genuinely one of a kind. The vibe was just different. Open air with the racetrack right there. Kid friendly. My son loved it there. It felt fancy and laid back at the same time, which is hard to pull off.

Jessica and Tricia honestly made this place. Every time I came in they made me feel like I was their favorite person there. That kind of energy is rare and it kept us coming back. The whole team is super talented, warm, and just genuinely good at what they do.

Going to miss this spot a lot. Thanks for the memories.“

“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 😊“

“Wife and I stopped in here for our 1st meal of a recent trip to Ft Lauderdale. A bit wary from travel delays and having only a modest lunch while leaving home, we were hungry. We were absolutely blown away by our server Alayna. She was incredibly kind, genuine, and was right on the spot with anything we might have needed that evening. Easily one of the best servers we’ve had in the 15 years we’ve been together. Thank you Alayna!“

“Karolina and the general manager were AWESOME! They truly made us feel like we were their number 1 priority. The staff as a whole were extremely attentive. The food and atmosphere were excellent - we will definitely be back again!! We also had a large party and they were extremely smooth with the transition. Thank you for having us!“

“🚀🍻🍷🍸🍹🥂🪐 To infinity and beyond is exactly the vibe here. Now under exciting new management, this place makes great use of its smaller indoor space while also giving extra attention to the sidewalk seating, which really expands the experience. The sleek modern setting absolutely helps it live up to its name and gives the whole visit a bright, forward looking feel.“

“Great little distillery in Oakland Park (across the street from Funky Buddha Brewery).

Atmosphere: Not a big venue , but it’s clean with nice, simple decor. Probably about 20 or so seats including at the bar, at tables or on the couch.

Staff: As the website says, family owned and run. Attentive, pleasant and passionate about their products.

Drinks: Refreshing, tasty, perfect combination of flavors without being too sweet/spicy or straight alcohol taste. We’ve purchased bottle here before (the basil vodka makes an awesome Bloody Mary) and the drinks are worth it. Blood Mule was refreshing and the Royal Colada wasn’t too sweet with the purple potatoe making it something no one else has. The basil breathe was like a “tasty salad” and the blueberry elderflower was not overly sweet. Don’t forget to sample the brandy—can’t go wrong with any flavor!

Overall: We keep coming back!“

“On June 16, we went to Kaluz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. We are regulars at Kaluz to the point where we have the cell phone numbers of several employees. In a nutshell, Anthony, the manager, should not hold that position in a restaurant like Kaluz. My husband and Anthony exchanged words and Anthony’s solution to the issue was telling us, “You should not come back here. The owners do not want parties larger than five people.” My jaw dropped. I could not believe that a manager’s solution to an issue about seating us sooner, while we waited for two other people in our party, especially since my 85-year-old mother could not stand for long, was to tell us, on two separate occasions, that we should not come back. Anthony also put the entire blame on the owners of the restaurant. We go to Kaluz almost on a weekly basis, tip extremely well and have taken countless people there that have also ended up being regulars at Kaluz. No restaurant manager should EVER tell a customer, regular or not, to not come back regardless of the issue. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Kaluz as long as Anthony continues working“

“Great specials for ladies night on drinks. Wings were great. Andrew took great care of us! Give them a try“

“We found that the location and atmosphere at Pierre 14 were perfect for people watching while enjoying the ocean breeze.The staff where friendly with genuin smiles and everyone stopped by the table to chat. You could tell they all enjoyed working there as a team. Special thanks to Able for making us smile. We stopped by for happy hour .The Bang Bang shrimp tacos were awesome!“

“I recently visited Elvis Italian Grill and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional dining experience. The restaurant has maintained its reputation for providing high-quality food, meticulous attention to detail, and professional service.
The chef personally greeted each guest, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. Elvis Italian Grill has become my preferred destination for Italian cuisine in this area. The freshness of the ingredients and the overall quality of the dishes are truly exceptional.“

“had a great time with lots of laughs and a full belly. the staff is active and can bring the fun organically. Will be back soon! thank you!“

“My date and I had a great time! So much fun! Wonderful staff, good drinks, and loved the music!“

“Service was modest. Food was good and fresh but the menu was different than what is posted on their site.“
