“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. ☺”

“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 😊”

“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”

2726 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale

“I really enjoyed my time at Puya Cantina. Buy one get one free cocktails for Happy Hour! SAY LESS! I also really enjoyed the food here. I was able to snag a picture of the loaded nachos we ordered, but I was not able to snag a picture of the delicious yuka fries, and the carne asada fajitas. Everything was so delicious and came out pretty quick! The overall cost for almost two entres, a side, and 3 drinks was about $108 including tip. We split it three ways which is definitely not bad for a Josh restaurant! This is definitely going to be a new date-night spot for me! Also I would like to mention the free parking and the service. The service is a little slow even though the food does come out quick, it just seems a little disorganized,but we were a table of 11 so I won't count a star off for it. Still giving Puya 5 stars!”

You walk in and your immediately transported to a speakeasy inspired venue space with some of THE BEST PIZZA I’ve had the pleasure of indulging in. Better than NY pizza hands down and I’m from NYC. The edges of the crust were crispy to perfection with a beautiful focaccia like interior. Make sure you order the “Ba Wit Da Za” hands down my favorite! The bartenders and servers are just as cool as the place is. Fun, edgy, full of energy and super knowledgeable on their menu. The Chef there really knows what he’s doing. A stellar experience, cannot wait to try another pizza! Every time I go I plan to try a different one, they had so many to choose from!”
