“I hosted my baby shower at Oceanic and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The Southern Room upstairs was the ideal size for our 40 guests. Spacious yet intimate, with such a beautiful atmosphere and access to a private balcony overlooking the beach. Our event coordinators, Casey and Maria, were incredible to work with throughout the planning process. They were both organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making everything seamless.

The buffet options were fantastic, our guests are still raving about the chicken and waffles, and the donut hole bar was such a fun and delicious hit. On the day of the event, Bobby and Amanda went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive, helpful, and truly made us feel taken care of.

We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about the food, service, and overall experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing experience from start to finish. Chad provided great service—attentive, friendly, and on point. The food was outstanding: the 1 lb meatball was huge and flavorful, the chicken wings were perfectly cooked, the crispy jalapeño potatoes had the right kick, and the wedge burger was fresh, juicy, and delicious. Everything came out hot and tasted amazing. Will definitely be back!

If you want it shorter, more casual, or extra hype, I can tweak the tone.“

“This place has been a go 24 twenty years.I've been coming down here and i'm from the northeast.It's one of the best pizza joints in southeast florida.If you can't be in new york or philly, then don't have pizza.But if you're gonna be down in the fort lauderdale area, go here for sure“

“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“

“Wish I lived closer!! Applause to the Pastry Chef!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼She is a gem! 💎🤩 My family and I visited on Saturday 4/19. Your place is so perfect in every way. And the poise and control of the dining room shows the teamwork it takes and yall run a well oiled, attentive, delicious, fresh and welcoming place!! Truly a GEM!! 😍 My Brother will be back Tuesday 4/22 for a bunch of your amazingly succulent CinnaGEMbuns! They are so fluffy, and gooey with an exceptional crusted bottom that gives it that extra sweetness, and then with the most incredible drizzles! 🤤The homemade touch to all of it was so phenomenal! Thank you for all the hard work and the hours of love and time on your feet to give us the most delicious fresh made English muffins with a lightness and crunch matched to none!! 😁 My family was grieving that morning having breakfast there as we were in town for a funeral and I cannot tell you how much your place lifted our spirits with the warm, homemade comfort foods..we are still talking about it today! ☺️ Big 👏🏼 to everyone that served us. I will definitely be back the next time we are in town. 💛“

“As usual we enjoyed our time at Sea Watch. There is no better view and the food is consistently delicious. This particular visit the service was slow however we had a very pleasant experience with all servers. We plan to visit in the future and on every visit to this area.“

“I returned to J Alexander's after a hiatus due to an unfortunate experience for my dinner party. The service and food quality was well below my memories for this location.

Last evening we were greeted with a friendly host team, sat and our servicer greeted us moments later. Our server was Chanel, and she hit ALL points of service making our meal enjoyable and unrushed. The food quality was back to the standard I knew of this restaurant, and will definitely start recommending the location again, as I did in the past.

Thanks to the whole J_Alexander's team for a great evening out with friends.“

“Friendly service and great vegan cuisines. The “ Smoke in woods and High Steak was delicious. The flavors and seasoning was flavorful . Love the taste of eating good Vegan food. Even if you’re not Vegan you should give this try.“

“AMAZING SERVICE DELICIOUS FOOD“

“Great place. I had the Cheesesteak project. The bread was fresh and toasted. The sandwich was big enough for two. Ton of meat and cheese. The meat is so tender. I also had the white truffle Mac and cheese. It was o full or flavor and was o creamy. My wife ordered the Bourbon Cowboy burger. It was cooked to perfection. It had two patties each so we could have shared.
The place is crazy decorated in kind of a car fabrication style. Go and check this place out.
The shakes looked AMAZING but my meal was enough.“

“My first time here and I was impressed by the relaxing atmosphere. They have an intensive selection of alcohol and beer. If you are looking for an amazing old fashioned, I would suggest this place because they have a very large bourbon collection. The bartender was extremely friendly and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Went to the Cafe in the Hard Rock with my wife late Tuesday evening we were served by Francis, to be completely honest it was the best service we received on our 12 day stay in Florida . He was so attentive and you can tell he loves what he does and it shows through his work. We had a fantastic experience, the food was great we will definitely be back ! Thank you Francis 😊“

“Alejandro was an amazing server and had a great time with our table. Food was great, but one of the items was out and we had to request something different. Not Alejandro's fault and he made sure we were only charged what we actually ordered. Would definitely go again!“
