“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“

“Breakfast is delicious. Cold glasses for the beer. Beautiful beach view and perfect location.“

“Here from Ohio on vacation. Best food ever. Owner treated me like royalty within seconds of walking in. There’s a reason this place holds its reputation. If you’re ever in Fort Lauderdale, stop right on in here. You’ll thank me later.“

After we finished eating, around 10 mins of waiting a manager who walked by took our empty plates and said he would send the server. 10 mins later the server finally came and we were able to get our check. Wasted 20 mins just to pay and leave.“

She was so easy to talk to among other things like recommending dishes and making sure we were pleased from beginning to end. Her beautiful spirit was so easy for our family to connect with. The food was hot and fresh and it didn't take long to come to the table. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming as we were there to celebrate my son's birthday. Thank you, we will most definitely return.“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“We made lunch reservations and had a great experience. There was no wait time to be seated.
Our server Shanquan was exceptional. She gave a fun experience with laughter throughout the meal. She was very attentive from beginning with waters, then to going over the drink menu and daily specials. We ordered artichoke for our appetizer, and it was scrumptious. The main course we selected was the New York strip with Mac and cheese, which was exceptionally cooked to our liking and a great choice to share between two people. We finished off with their home made carrot cake which was served fresh and hot, which was a nice round out to the meal.
Come dine with Shanquan for a terrific experience at J Alexander!“

“Service and ambiance at Galuppi’s are outstanding. Deborah at the bar is incredibly kind, and Xixi is very informative and welcoming. Every visit has been a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back again and again as a repeat customer.

And just to clarify—that’s not the other Marcel… you know, the one who’s probably 5’2” with an attitude.“

“Food and drinks were great! We had the lobster ravioli,the calamari which was DUMB GOOD, spinach dip, several fruit bomb shots and I had a carribean mama...delish! I do wish they had the spinach and mushroom ravioli from before when it was called Lips. Entertainment was even better. The show was full of sass and spice! Everyone was nice and helpful. My friend and I had the best time. Her first time, my second after many years. Definitely will go back.“

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. 💛“
