“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!“

“The atmosphere and excellent service were top tier! They didn't have lots of items to choose from but for the price it was a decent selection especially since the mimosas and bloody Mary's were included in the price. There was a gentleman singing hits from present and past - that was a nice touch.“

“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!“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Stanley at Naked Farmers in Las Olas! From the moment I walk in, he always greets me with the warmest smile and the kind of genuine energy that instantly makes you feel at home. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and clearly passionate about what he does. Every recommendation is spot on and leaves you wanting more. Stanley’s attention to detail and friendly personality turn each visit into a truly relaxing experience. Places like this are already great, but people like Stanley make them unforgettable. I truly appreciate people like Stanley, he’s a gem in the customer service world!“

“Seasons52 dinners never disappoint. The Philly cheese steak flat bread is sensational. Perfect taste combination. The Norwegian Salmon is delicious and not fishy. If you like Salmon, you'll really enjoy it. The staff is professional and attentive.“

“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 food and amazing customer service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We’re foodies based in NYC and seasonal Floridians and this one of our favorites ! Last night our server Orin and Chef Ivan outdid themselves!! Everything was fabulous!! Great food and service!“

“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“

“Great food, fun, and atmosphere. Excellent service don't miss a beat! 🩷“

“My husband and I started going to Mya Papaya a few JJ the ago and now we are there a couple times a weeks and bringing friends. I am a newish vegan and love the extensive vegan and omnivore choices for families like ours!“

“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.“

“I love all the choices that you get to choose from to put in your bowl. And everything is so fresh and delicious! My favorite sauce is the basil pesto. It is exceptional! Tim and Phil provided exceptional service this evening for our meal. We will be back!“

“Great spot for fast casual food!“

“Jason was absolutely the best ever ty for an amazing first experience at this establishment“

“10/10 worth the time, money, and then some. Was lucky enough to attend the Father’s Day Brunch where every course was better than the last. In times where sometimes fine dining can feel like a waste of money, this place was upfront about every charge, no surprise add ons, fees, etc., AND worth every penny. You can tell the staff enjoys their work, and that charisma is infectious. Chef Lindsey was amazing; thank you to TRP Taste for providing my dad with an experience we’ll never forget!!“

“Nate was an excellent server. From the guacamole and sweet potato chip dish to chicken kabobs, giant meatball and pasta, fried chicken sandwich to dessert, the quality an quantity were both excellent. We enjoyed cocktails as well. All in all a great night out with delicious food.“

“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“

“Always fun vibe hanging at bar.“

“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)“

“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 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.“

“Surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant!The service was great, the waiter gave us desserts on the house.The bar mixes up some really great drinks too, their happy hour is well worth it if you’re staying at the hotel.Their brunch is also very good. A lot of fresh cooked variety, cooked to order.“

“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.“

“Ashton was so friendly and welcoming during our check in process! She didn’t even know but it was my 30th bday and they brought a complimentary bottle of wine for me once I checked in! Very unexpected but appreciated. Would recommend working with Ashton!!!“

“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!“

“My go-to place in Fort Lauderdale! Amazing fish tacos🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Scenic views on the rooftop. Great decor. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“awesome drinks great atmosphere.“

“Always a great time breakfast, brunch and dinner.“

“Nice place. Not the place to go for a quick basic drink. One Hennessey cost me $19, I should have asked first smh.“
