We were going to be in Ft Lauderdale and had been here several times. I called to make reservations to find them closed and out of business. It is a shame since it was a cozy upscale restaurant.
Really amazing food! They seemed to be short staffed so the meal took a while. Not a unique issue for restaurants at the moment. We sat outside, which was nice. The street is fairly quiet and there's a park across the street. Prices were reasonable for a quality meal. Overall, great experience and would go back.

Hardy Park Bistro is one of my favorite places in Ft Lauderdale. The food and ambiance are excellent. Service is always outstanding. Love the location across from the park. Parking is easy. It's a gem.

Delicious! Avoid the hassles of all the busy areas of Ft Lauderdale and treat yourself to one of the best meals in town!

The Bistro is under new ownership. The pandemic and local economy haven’t been kind to the restaurant and service industry. But, the appeal of this small neighborhood bistro melts away with the lack of acoustic treatments inside. One cannot have a conversation without shouting (and this even without music in the background). We ordered a house salad, which was delightful with a light dressing that highlighted the savory and sweet flavors and textures of chickpeas, cranberries, cucumber, red onion and greens. We also ordered seafood as main dishes: snapper of the day, and salmon, with accompanying vegetables (broccolini, kale, asparagus) and mashed potatoes. These were so laden with salt that our palettes burned. Practically inedible. We would have returned the dishes but felt bad for the single server: yes, only one server for the entire dining room and porch dining area (the others had called in sick). The service was extraordinary even with the tripled burden, and we did not want to raise a fuss. Thus the two stars overall are for the five star service. But the kitchen needs to drastically cut back on its propensity to salt everything so lavishly. Not likely to return soon.

Third time here and always good food and pleasant service. This time wait staff were overwhelmed; only one waiter for the entire restaurant. She did an amazing job given the circumstances. Airline chicken was overcooked and very dry. Disappointing.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was fresh, gourmet, nicely decorated and everything tasted delicious. The dates bread pudding with homemade vanilla ice cream was so decadent. Service was unparalleled. Place was very nice, organized and clean too. Strongly recommend them.

The fish was OK but nothing special. The airplane chicken was stupid. We waited an hour for our food. I didn't realize this was under new ownership. Waitress was very nice but overwhelmed.
We enjoyed our evening but because it's such a small restaurant it's extremely loud and you can hear everyone else's conversation. All of this said the food and the service for fantastic. We will return, thank you

My wife and I fell in love with this place the first time there last week. We both ordered vegetarian platters with a wedge salad and everything was so out of this world delicious!! Better than most if not all of the big name restaurants in the area. Very small so make sure you reserve ahead. Can't wait to go back next week!!
Mediocre
Seated 15 mins late for our reserved time. Seated with no napkins no silverware not just an empty table with "I'll be back" 10 mins later she returned to ask for our drinks. No water was offered. We had to ask for it twice Took her 15 mins longer to come back to take our order but only after we got her attention. Food: 2 eggs with meats - sausages were petrified appeared microwaved did way too long. Bacon was burnt. HPB burger - No this is something that I have ordered in the past and enjoyed. However today was not the case. Or did medium rare, it came back past well done! Like burnt. Almost as if on purpose. Chutney was funny tasting today. Mom had to order another piece of salmon, second one came out burnt on the outside (actually black burnt) but still raw on the inside. What!? Friend ordered a Benedict that was very mediocre and bed potatoes were...you guess if, burnt. After a terrible meal and waiting forever, we had to wait another 15 minutes to try and flag down the server to get our check. She was very inattentive, and generally unhelpful.

Dinner here was fantastic. I had the pork chop and my friend got the ribs. Both were really good, though the fries were a bit salty but we enjoyed our meal nevertheless, and better save room for dessert because it’s really good!! Highly recommend this place and our server Daryl was very nice and accommodating.
