“Fabulous long weekend staying at The Diplomat Beach Resort. Our King Corner Oceanfront Suite was spacious with a beautiful oceanfront view. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating to all requests as well as our early arrival. The Hotel Bar was a lovely place to grab late night drinks after dinner, both Eddie & Michael made fantastic cocktails and provided perfect service- give those gentleman a raise!! Gotta love bartenders that feel like friends by the end of the night. Definitely reserve a beach cabana for the day it is well worth the money and Andrew was incredibly attentive checking on us throughout the entire time. It puts you right up front with another ocean view, a super comfy daybed with sun protection, umbrella, table and 2 lounge chairs. The beach servers were also fantastic & quick to bring anything we ordered. The watermelon margarita is delish as well as the ceviche. This is definitely now our go to place when we travel to Ft. Lauderdale area!“

“Stopped in for a drink and Claudia mixed up a great skinny Margarita. Had fun chatting up some regulars playing table games at the bar. Will go back.“

“Highly recommended when you want to take advantage of a beautiful day. Mike was hands down the most attentive and kind bartender.“

“From a Foodies perspective it was awesome. Service, food, atmosphere. A 10!!“

“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. ☺“

“I have spent great time with my girls there, Food was amazing, Atmosphare was Awsome, Highly Recomended.“

“A friend and I dropped in for cocktails. What a interesting place. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed watching the bartender make our cocktails. You could definitely tell that he took pride in his work. Would stop back in anytime we were in town.“

“We started coming here recently and now we visit a few times a week. The Burata pie is my favorite followed by their pear pasta appetizer.“

“We had the BEST experience at Proof in Wilton Manors. From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible — stylish, welcoming, and just such a fun energy. We even had the chance to meet the owner, which made it that much more special. You can truly feel the passion and pride behind this place. And let’s talk about the food. Every single thing we ordered was outstanding — beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What really impressed us was how amazing the gluten-free options are. Not just one or two safe choices — actual thoughtfully crafted dishes that feel just as indulgent and exciting as everything else on the menu. That’s rare, and it matters. If you’re in Wilton Manors, this is a must. We’re already planning our next visit.“

“Great food, friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere.“

“Chelsea S. Was our waitress and she was friendly and very helpful. We had happy hour beverages and both the Pina Colada and Coconut Cloud Martini were delicious! Shareable were tasty and filling. I would recommend the Street corn Dip and the Ahi Tuna Tacos. We would recommend and will be back!“

“One of South Florida's most unique outdoor hangouts, Carousel Club at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach is absolutely worth a visit. Built around a stunning antique carousel-inspired bar overlooking the thoroughbred racetrack, this open-air venue perfectly blends laid-back daytime vibes with an energetic nightlife atmosphere.

One of the best things about Carousel Club is its constantly rotating lineup of pop-up food vendors, giving you plenty of delicious options every time you visit. Whether you're grabbing tacos, artisan pizza, burgers, or another featured concept, there's something for everyone. Pair your meal with one of their handcrafted cocktails, frozen drinks, or local beers, and you're all set for an afternoon or evening of fun.

The atmosphere is what truly makes this place stand out. With spacious outdoor seating, lawn games, live music, DJs, and unbeatable views of the horse races, there's always something happening. It's the kind of venue where you can relax with friends during the day, enjoy the excitement of live racing, and then stay into the evening as the energy picks up with entertainment and a lively crowd.

Whether you're planning a casual afternoon, a date night, or celebrating with a group, Carousel Club delivers a memorable experience that's unlike anywhere else in South Florida. The unique setting, great drinks, fun entertainment, and ever-changing food options make every visit feel different. It's easy to spend a few hours here enjoying the atmosphere while watching the horses race just a few feet away.“

“Great spot for events and live music! The staff is awesome and the vibe is always right. They also host some great stand up comedy nights.“

“My 17 yea old had the whole Pampano and loved it!“

“This is my first time being at 1WLO, the rooftop is so cute and mostly covered which is nice bc Florida weather can be unpredictable. The food and drinks are also good too. I personally loved the zaddy drink and Jalisco cooler both were strong and tasty. The chicken tenders and fries were also really tasty and the dishware the spot uses is so cute. Jaimie was also an awesome and very friendly bartender.“

“wonderful cocktails and tapas!“

“Jade made our dining experience truly memorable! She was warm, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening.

The sea bass was an absolute delight—beautifully presented, wonderfully tender, and bursting with rich, mouthwatering flavor.“

Excellent place live music great atmosphere Beyond super Chris service and food and Drinks Well done Tommy Team Bryon and His Angel“

“Pama Tavern exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and everything from the food to the drinks was top-notch. Our table of 16 was served quickly, and every dish came out perfectly cooked. The Churrasco Argentino was especially delicious absolutely packed with flavor. The chef even came by to check on us, adding a personal touch that made the night even better. We had an amazing time celebrating with family and friends. Highly recommend for any occasion!“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“Excellent Food and Service“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“great food and great place to watch Panthers Hockey“

“Worse experience at any bar I have ever had. After the bartender messing up my drink twice in a row and not complaining and not giving us the happy hour special price even though we were there during that time. Me and my friends paid and gave a 20% tip in which she came up to us and complained about. Then as we just left she cussed us out the door. After spending a total of over $100 at the place I expected to be treated with more respect“

“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.“

“Last night, we dined at Maass and had the privilege of sitting at the chef’s counter. The experience was nothing short of amazing! They graciously accommodated my veganism, although I must admit, I indulged and opted for vegetarian dishes last night. Meanwhile, LD fully immersed himself in the tasting menu. Chef Ryan Ratino, along with his Michelin-accoladed team at Maass in Fort Lauderdale, curated a truly spectacular experience.“

“My date and I had a great time! So much fun! Wonderful staff, good drinks, and loved the music!“

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“Food was great and service provided by Angela was excellent. We always request her when we dine at Kaluz.“

“That’s an amazing restaurant, Argentinian meat. Very tasty.“

“We’ve visited the Guest a number of times, as a couple, with our family and always had a great dinner. Food choices are nicely varied, without being overwhelming. Tastes consistently great and servers are friendly and quick without being intrusive. Definitely worth checking out and enjoy the fun outdoor seating.“

“We just had dinner there and the food and the server was great but they lost our debit card from the table to check out. Instead of just saying I’m sorry and don’t worry about the bill they asks for another card. Now we are having to cancel a card they lost and running late to get my nephew back his broadway show tour at the performance arts center because we are looking for the card. Very dissatisfied in there customer service“

“Ive been gatekeeping this place because I didnt want to lose my clean, chill, less loud and screamy kbbq spot but this place is one of my top go to's.

The meat is always quality, the service is always top notch and the ambience is always on point. If youre looking for kbbq where you dont feel like you gotta shout over the chaos and you can really enjoy, this is the spot.

All You Can Eat is a great deal for their meat quality but I love that they still have traditional Korean dishes on the menu for when I dont want to gorge myself.

Also it's always clean!! So clean and the booths are comfortable without drowning you or making you feel crowded in.“

“It was an amazing experience! Aray was a great waitress, very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was excellent, and she made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend this place, and I’ll be coming back again!“

“Great specials for ladies night on drinks. Wings were great. Andrew took great care of us! Give them a try“

“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!“

“Service was modest. Food was good and fresh but the menu was different than what is posted on their site.“

“Collin is an awesome bartender! Had a great time at this speakeasy in the middle of the afternoon. Super cool vibes and pizza was excellent“

““ Went in around happy hour for girls night on Thursday, ordered a Mojito. It did not have any mint or enough alcohol. It seemed watered down. The bartender dicey that night seemed upset as we told our waiter we didn’t like the drinks. Felt super uncomfortable. They had a full bar only one person making drinks for the whole restaurant. Happy hour menu was great however, no complaints on the food at all. Flat bread & bang bang shrimp was out of this world. But the service and quality control was easily overlooked, 2 stars.“

“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!“
