Marti's New River Bistro

As always it is a wonderful dining experience when we go to Marti's New River Bistro. I am SO SADDENED to know that it will be the last brunch that we have there. Your server Joey is absolutely the best, sorry to say we did not have him on Saturday and the one we did have was a little ditzy. But in spite of her we had a wonderful meal and a great time. I only wish it was not closing.

I'm incredibly sorry, but the current owners seem to lack business sense. Closing and demolishing Marti's makes no sense since it is very convenient to go to the theatre.

We are soooo upset that Marti's is closing. Dinner and walking across to the theater made for a wonderful evening. Whoever's idea it was to close Marti's has made a BIG MISTAKE!

We always have enjoyed fine dining and service at Marti's before or after shows at the Broward Center, but were saddened to learn that it will be closing and converting to a lounge as this season ends. Very disappointing news! There are already venues inside the theatre for drinks but really nowhere else on site for a proper meal before the theatre, which really was convenient and added to having a pleasurable experience. I hope that the owners might reconsider their decision as it is not what the theatre patrons would prefer-everyone in the restaurant was talking about this unfortunate turn.

Service was great with Joey again. Kitchen did not prepare one of the meals as requested, had to send it back. Otherwise, a great place for a dinner before shows at the Broward Center.

Big mistake closing this excellent pre theater restaurant to open a club. Whose great idea was this?

I will be forever grateful for the most pleasant dining experiences that I have had at this restaurant for a long time. I am so sad to say that my dining there this past Saturday will be my last one since it will be closing in a week. To the Staff, the Chef and the ambience ...A BIG Thank You! You had the perfect combination! I doubt I will find another place to dine before theater that will even come close. Wishing you all nothing but the best in your new endeavors. S. Michael Ereshena

Absolutely great experience. They have a prefixed menu, the table is yours for the night and they ensure you get out with plenty of time if your going the the show. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious . I was very sad to hear that after the 2024/2025 Broadway in Florida season, the CEO of the Broward Center is closing the restaurant and it will be closed for 2 years as the demolition and make turn the restaurant into a lounge with tapas and drinks. HUGE mistake as they will not get the pre-show clients. People want dinner before the show. He could have served dinner before the show and have drinks/tapas/music after the show. Many people are unhappy and us season ticket holders have not been notifies, I only found out from the wonderful staff who are loosing their jobs.

We have eaten here many times over the last four years before a show and enjoyed the convenience and the variety of meal choices on the prix fix menus. Tonight's included dinner choices were disappointing and certainly not worth the price. Offering a steak sandwich only well done was not acceptable. We will no longer eat here before upcoming shows.

Joey is an amazing server! He makes the dining experience at Marti's so much fun. We went for brunch before the Michael Jackson show (show was fabulous). We had the shrimp cocktail, chicken lettuce wraps. Bagel and salad with salmon. And the mini croissants are yummy! All wonderful!

The host was kind and found our party of 3 a nice table with a view of the intercostal waterway. Our waiter did not explain the price fixe menu well and did not take our drink order. I had to flag him down and ask about drink options. When I asked about tea and coffee, he ran off to get the “tea box” without asking me for my preference. There was no one refilling the water gasses on the table. Finally, the food itself was very average; wilted salad, dry protein and desert that tasted like it was thawed from the freezer. The only reason to dine at this establishment is due to convenient location to the Au Rene Theater. We will not be coming back anytime soon.

THE NEW BRUNCH MENU OFFERINGS WERE DELICIOUS - OUR TABLE OF 6 ORDERED A VARIETY OF ITEMS AND ALL WERE TASTY AND CREATIVE. OUR SERVER WAS ALSO OUTSTANDING THE VIEW OF THE NEW RIVER WAS BEAUTIFUL ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY

Excellent meatball appetizer served lukewarm followed by a very creative capon dish that probably dried out over an hour ago. The menu change is for the worst. Bring back the fillet mignon that was always perfect

All food was delicious and plated beautifully. Service was outstanding and courses were well spaced. We were able to enjoy each course . Our view of the New River was lovely. Great place to dine anytime but especially prior to a performance at the Broward Center. So sorry to learn it will close permanently in June 2025.

My daughter and I dined here before a show at the theater. We had the best service from Samuel. The food was not only beautiful in presentation but so delicious! If we're in town again we will definitely eat here. The view is gorgeous. It was not crowded at all so very quiet.
