“Ask for Carlos! We celebrated our wedding here. Carlos was our server the night before and we could not have asked for better treatment. Hands down he’s the best there is. Makes you feel at home and if he’s apart of your own family. We requested him as our server the following night on our wedding day and he knocked it out of the park yet again. Truly can’t thank Carlos enough for being the kind hearted person that he is. If you eat at Ocean2000, ask for Carlos and tell him The Thompsons said so!! God Bless you Carlos & Sara!! See yall next time!!!“

“The food was fabulous! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff! The French toast bites were off the charts!“

“Excellent customer service and very friendly staff, always attentive to the customer. The food is excellent, and for me, their empanadas are the best in Fort Lauderdale, especially the ham and cheese one—it's my favorite. No one makes ham and cheese empanadas like they do. The chicken and beef empanadas are also amazing. That's why this review gets 5 stars.“

“Amazing! Can’t wait to go back! Service is also top notch.“

“Excellent!! I went Just Spoons for brunch. First I would suggest make reservations. This restaurant gets crowded fast. I had the grilled shrimp and fried catfish w/ eggs and grits. Enough for 2 people and it delicious. My daughter had the curry shrimp and grits awesome and flavorful. My severer was Sean was attentive answered questions about the dishes and the drink menu is like no other I had the brunch punch ( contains alcohol)and my daughter the sunset ( non alcohol) both excellent. This my first time at this restaurant and it now on my restaurant rotation.“

“First let's start with being greeted by the nicest host (probably the owner or manager), he was so welcoming and happy to have us. Our waiter, Brian, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I had a "Rosa latte" it was the most attractive and delicious cup of coffee I've ever had. The omelet came out hot and the waffle cheese bread was so yummy! Definitely coming back! 😋“

“Absolutely amazing, tasty, delicious food and drinks. Extensive menu from snackable or shareable items to full meals. Great baked items and coffees as well!“

“Exploring the Pompano Beach Drawbridge: A Gateway to Serenity

As you veer off Atlantic Boulevard and descend the ramp toward Pompano Beach, a striking structure greets you—the Pompano Beach Drawbridge. This isn't just any bridge; it's a nautical gateway that ushers you into a realm where the land meets the sea, and the bustling city life transitions into the tranquil vibes of the beach.

The bridge itself is a marvel, designed to reflect the sail elements of the nearby pier parking garage, creating a cohesive and welcoming entrance to the barrier islands. It's not just a passageway but a landmark that captures the essence of Pompano Beach with its grand sail-like entrances and a pedestrian esplanade underneath. This esplanade connects the south to the north, weaving together restaurants and buildings in a seamless blend of urban and maritime architecture.

To the right, as you make your way down, you're greeted by the 'yellow yolk'—a burst of color that adds to the picturesque views surrounding the area. It's a spot that invites you to pause and soak in the beauty, to watch the boats glide by as the drawbridge lifts, on the hour and half-hour, against the backdrop of the expansive sky.

The Pompano Beach Drawbridge isn't just a structure; it's an experience. It's where you can witness the harmonious dance of engineering and aesthetics, functionality and beauty. It's a place that reminds you that sometimes, the journey is just as enchanting as the destination.

So next time you find yourself at this drawbridge, take a moment to appreciate the intricate design and the serene views. Let it be a reminder of the delightful surprises that await when you take the scenic route.“
