“Checked out this great restaurant last night. The food was magnificent. Wow!! Everything was so tasty and the flavors melded well. Please check it out. We had the Jerk Plaintain, Thai style Charred cabbage salad, which had some great tasting pork, sweet and tangy wings and the Thai style crab fried rice. Can’t wait to go back and try the snapper.“

“We had such a great time at Moxies, and I have to give a special shoutout to Santiago behind the bar. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with friendly energy, great conversation, and spot-on drink recommendations. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure guests have a great experience. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I sure do Live eating my Velvet Taco! 🍰“

“It was a very busy Friday evening and several issues with glassware, accoutrements, and food. Jessica the manager came to our table, and was extremely understanding and responsive to correcting the situation, She totally turned our whole experience around in a most professional manner, and kudos to her for saving the day! We will be back soon!“

“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!!!“

“This was our first experience at the Myrtle Beach location and TK did not disappoint. She made our first visit the best! We will definitely be back because of her. She was an excellent waitress and we had a blast! If you go ask for TK she wont disappoint! The food was yummy too! If you are easily offended don't go because you will get Your feelings hurt. But if you have tough skin and can take a joke then go and have fun. We will definitely be back for TK!“

“Always prepared well. The new Executive chef Eduardo Orozco is pure Culinary excellence. Our server, Santiago was a real gentleman and great conversationalist. Thx as always for an enjoyable evening. The young new lady singer was super talented. The Goff family“

“Great food and amazing customer service.“

“The restaurant itself was great! Food was delicious, it came out quickly which was fantastic because we were starving Lol...Service...our server Laina, (couldn't hear it because there was some noise, but I think I got it right) anyways, she was incredible, her attention was A+ and I wish all were like her! She was knowledgeable and attentive! The place itself was very nice, it was a little packed due to happy hour I think but definitely would recommend! Definitely 5 stars ....“

“Great place for dinner & dancing. Food surprisingly fresh and good every time. Charging extra for a PIECE of bread with my salad, NOT COOL! I get inflation, but seriously, and especially since we were a table of 6 drinking & eating!“

“I recently discovered this absolute gem of a restaurant. I’m so thrilled to have a healthy eating concept like this in the neighborhood. The food is absolutely delicious and I don’t feel guilty when I’m done eating, everything is fresh and organic and locally sourced. With a rotating seasonal menu, it’s reasonably priced for the value of what you’re getting as well! I will definitely be a regular here. My absolute favorite employee is Violet! She was very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu and made my selection a breeze. I can’t say enough great things about her.“

“Reasonably priced food that tasted really good. The staff was very nice but aside from the man that handed us our menus, they were very, very slow. We had to get back to where we were parked by a specific time and ended up having to rush because we waited so long for our salads and then for our check after we were done eating. Really I want to do 3.5 stars but since I can't, I am doing 4.“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“Jenna the bartender is amazing ? love the curry dish, service is also ?? good. Little pricey but worth it.“

“The food was amazing the servers are so nice best breakfast place I’ve been to in a while“

“We were so impressed with the menu choices, how nice everyone was & how delicious our food was. They definitely take so much pride in the food the serve. We will definitely recommend this restaurant. Our server Raanan was the best! Thank you for treating us like family 😊“

“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“

“Hole in the wall vibes, right off the beach. I LOVE the pizza, & compared to the other restaurants here the price is pretty affordable. Most authentic pizza I’ve been able to find in America. The crust is a perfect combo of floppy & crunchy. & even just the cheese pizza is super yummy! Service is amazing & super friendly.“

“Absolutely amazing! The food, service, and hospitality were all 10/10! We highly recommend TRP for the ultimate private dining experience. My husband and I arrived by a private Water Taxi for a romantic evening, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Chef Lyndsey was incredible—her passion and storytelling behind each dish made the experience even more special. You could truly taste the story in every bite. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and we can’t wait to return!“

“I love this place, my first time here was in 2018 and I was driving back home after a meeting and drove by this place and of course It worth the u turn
The atmosphere is charming and cozy, the time stopped several years ago
The wedge salad is one of the best I’ve ever tried, ordered the brisket plate and with this can eat 2 persons for $30 bucks
The server was a little bit upset but then a very kind gentleman explained to me that they just closed the kitchen and also the restaurant was already closed but I can stay there and enjoy my food (that was amazing)
I was a little bit ashamed because of that, otherwise knowing that were about to close I would never walked in
BTW I went for the ribs and were sold out, so I’ll be back to give a try soon (and in regular hours)“

“Lenore is the best chef 👩‍🍳 and her care for her clients is amazing. She is delightful and does an excellent service teaching people to cook“

“What a wonderful experience we had at this bar inside the 4 Points Sheraton on Federal Highway near both the airport and cruise Port. We felt like family after spending 2 days before and after our cruise here. Shout out both Fran and Julian who bartended and were our servers as well as we ate at the bar. We loved how welcome they made us feel.“

“This is the third time I have ordered from Pelican Wings and things. We have ordered wings from many other places and by far- these are the best. They are good sized, meaty wings and are perfectlyCooked. Will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“This restaurant is exceptional! we went with our family after our civil ceremony and their service was beyond expectations. they made every effort to accommodate us as we found them very last minute and the weather turned rainy and windy suddenly. we wanted to sit outside, and they reserved the table without hesitation and then afterwards accommodated us inside when the rain started. They were so attentive, courteous, and made sure we were all taken care of. they had live music with an excellent singer who was talented and played with our kids and sang with them. the hostess Sally, was kind and sweet and very attentive!. Michael was a great server as well. ! all of them were great! the food was superb! great tasting with many options and excellent quality. thank you so much for making our night special. I will highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We were in this evening. Our server was Jessy. She was absolutely amazing!! Best service we've had in the 4 days we've been here in Florida. Food was good, atmosphere was great, and service was top notch! Highly recommend.“

“Have a drink, and/or lunch by the pool. Very relaxing environment. The lunch menu is limited, but the choices are solid and the quality is great. I went with the grilled fish tacos and was completely satisfied. The wait staff was perfectly efficient without being overbearing.“

“Love staying here! Great place! I wish the rooms were slightly bigger but overall great place!“

“We attended the special brunch for Easter at the Marriott Harbor Beach ballroom. Upon entering the ballroom lobby, we were immediately greeted by a dessert buffet that was beautifully decorated and showcased a large array of dessert choices, some too pretty to eat! Once entering the ballroom, there was a duo playing the perfect dining music setting the tone. The ballroom was set up with food stations representing everything from snow crab claws, shrimp & oysters. Charcuterie stations displayed a great antipasto selection and every choice was absolutely fresh and delicious. Table decor & decor at the various food stations was lovely and ideal for Easter. Candy peeps peered out from the grass utilized in the centerpiece at each table together with hidden wrapped chocolate. There was an omelet station with cooks attending, & continuous buffet tables with fresh fish, & vegetable dishes, & carving station with lamb, prime rib, and ham. The servers were fantastic, continuously clearing our table between courses and attending our every need. The cost of this event is higher, but for a holiday I would highly recommend. The food was delicious, fresh and well prepared. Inside ballroom, or outside patio seating was offered.“

“Literally driving from Dallas tx to FLL for these wings as we speak. Every time I come to Florida I stop in here. In love.“

“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.“

“Service is fast. Food is consistent. Close to home and the price is right! LUV CPK!“
