“A delightful little Greek bistro gem in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The service is a little slow out of the gate but the food is terrific and definitely worth the wait. Our favorites are the seafood (Branzino and fish special) and the Lamb Shank with Orzo and feta cheese. The Greek Salad is top notch, too. The complimentary pita is oven fired with fresh hummus or a yogurt-inspired seafood dip. They have a unique selection of Eastern European beers, too, which is a refreshing alternative to the usual list. I has the Czech Pilsner and the rest of the table went with the Greek Chardonnay which was pretty good! As locals, we've dined here before and will definitely return.“
“Our first time here and had gyros and a flourless chocolate cake! They were fantastic. Our server Leo was super nice and courteous. Loved him, too. Maitre’D and host were very professional. Fun atmosphere. We’ll be coming back here again and again!“
“We had such a great meal here! Jumped in for the combo and it was a great way to explore the menu. The sriracha tzatziki was a big surprise. Ginger mule was a terrific cocktail and Brendon was a competent, friendly, and fun bartender. We will return.“
“We found this place a couple months ago and completely loved it. This is a great venue, the decoration inside is stunning, totally unexpected from the outside. We celebrated my wife’s birthday on Saturday night, A group of family and close friends, we were about 18 people. The food was delicious, the atmosphere fantastic, we were able to enjoy a live show too. Miriam, our server, was fantastic. She was able to manage the entire table without any delays in the food or drinks. Everybody had a great time and really enjoyed the event. Thank you guys for such a memorable time. Will definitely celebrate many more birthdays and other occasions there.“
“Everything was as expected, except I didn't pay attention prices and was slightly sticker shocked for 2 people nearly $270 with tip. Only 1 glass of wine, one shared entree, and a side. However, I don't know any other good places in Ft Lauderdale which can be synonymous with trash. Get away from Las Olas and come here. You won't regret it. Nothing much down there anyway. As of time of writing, parking $24 after a $6 discount from validation. Maybe worth it to street park and walk if it's nice out. 8oz wine pour $26 also so for what it's worth, might be better to bring a bottle and do the corkage or skip it and focus on the food. Barnzini and potato side were both phenomenal. One criticism is that once they pick out all of the bones, it's almost cold. Warm still, but I guess that was a factor to mention a $100+ fish. Watch out for schemes. The wine by the glass said $16 but the 8oz pour was $26. Just pay attention unlike me. I wouldn't recommend getting 2 desserts. One was enough and neither were phenomenal. Perfectly prepared, but not what I'd come back for alone.Tbh I was impressed, but you can do as well at authentic in thr SoFla area. Overall 4 Seasons Restaurants are usually able to be relied on for quality, so if you just don't want to mess around because you have a night or so, you can't lose here.“
“Justice to its Name!!!! One of the best falafel I've ever tried. They were crispy and just so good. I had the shawarma platters chicken, meat and lamb so tender and juicy. Very nicely presented. We tried lemon ginger lemonade...just the right kick to it. AMAZING!! Then dessert !! It was suggested to try Pistachio cake. It is mouth melting. Light and yet sweet. Just freshly done and tiny rose petals garnished this deliriously homemade cake. Our experience wouldn't be so amazing if it wouldn't be because our host. This young guy guide us in this journey. HE represents what customer care is all about. Cheers of joy when you find a place you cant wait to recommend. Yes!!!“
“Delicious healthy food. Have had delivery many times. Visited their restaurant once , nice ambiance, very friendly employees. Their portions are very generous as well. I bought 4 gift certificates on sale at Costco. Great deal. I will be a regular!!“
“Atmosphere has a nice chill vibe. Service was on point and management/owners make you feel like family. I would tell you about the food but you would be better served if you went in and tried it yourselves... you will not be disappointed.“
“Excellent Turkish restaurant. The chicken was really fresh and soft and flavorful. Shish kebab and the shawarma (gyro) were excellent. We ordered the lahmajun which is like a flatbread/pizza with beef and spices - this was the highlight of the experience. Prices were very reasonable and potions were great. Bread was complementary. The only downside is parking can be a little challenging.“
“Florie, our server was everything! There is some beautification construction going on, but she has created an outdoor space with twinkling lights, plants and outdoor seating to accommodate all their customers. It was really neat to see a restaurant making something beautiful out of a tough situation. She was so welcoming and the food was awesome! Love the sauce they give with the Greek style fries! 5 stars would recommend.“
“This restaurant could be easily missed based on its location but I'm happy I found it. The staff is always friendly. The food is always fresh. And the service is always quick. Simple yet tasty options make for a wonderful experience and a perfect choice for a quick bite.“
“Even if you are not from Balkan, and want to try something new - go for it! Food is amazing. Portions are huge, everything is fresh. If you want a good quality meat, there you go! Cevapi(beef links), gourmet burger, skewers.. it's just great.“
“Have you tried the lemb shawarma yet? Trust me, it will bring you so much joy and satisfaction that words cannot fully describe it. The combination of tender lamb, flavorful spices, and soft pita bread is simply unbeatable. Make sure to give it a try!“

“I had the falafel plate. Five falafel balls, Israeli salad, hummus, and two warm pita bread. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly and I hope to return again! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they will call you by name to pick up your order.“
“The best meal I've had in ages. Definitely the best Greek restaurant in North America. Honestly better than a lot of Greek restaurants in Greece. I am Greek, and this was absolutely authentic. I will be thinking about my meal here for a long time. Service was also excellent. The food nearly brought me to tears. Wish i could give 6 stars.“
“Wow. Like being transported back to Israel. The food was so fresh and delicious. The pita was unbelievable. Hummus and falafel amazing too. Nice fresh salad with lots of different veggies.First time picking food up from here but won’t be the last!“
“Ronen is the man. Walked in with my brother and he insisted to make us a baguette “his way”. All I have to say is absolutely ridiculous. This shawarma baguette was so good I couldn’t even see straight driving home. Came all the way from Michigan! - “
“Skip the drive to Boca or Fort Lauderdale and eat here. The food is amazing, from the fish to the salads to the pasta and everything else. This family owned restaurant should be on your regular rotation of high end consistently great places to go.“
“Had dinner her with my mom last week, from the welcome greeting to the food, everything the staff does is with care.We started with the burrata and beet salad special. I had the Salmon Alla Vodka and mom had the Flounder special with artichokes and sundried tomatoes. Good portions, cooked perfectly and delicious! Will be back for homemade pasta!Limited parking in the back.“

“Last night was my first and definitely not last time in this place, we were 5 hungry adults, everything we ate was just great ??Prices are totally reasonable and worth every penny .The whole staff were so nice, at the end we didn't order a dessert (since we were all completely full ?) and the owner offered us free desserts !!Thank you Edna your the best.“
“This restaurant has a large selection of vegetarian and vegan options. I had the fava bean salad. So many other dishes to order, so little time! The beans were marinated in a dressing and was the perfect quantity. So delicious, with warm pita bread served. Our server wasn’t delight. They offer indoor and outdoor seating.“
“Had both lunch and evening tapas on a different evening. The food was outstanding. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I had a cuban sandwich for lunch and it was one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant itself has a very european (Spanish) vibe).“
“I thoroughly enjoy dining at this restaurant located alongside the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Sitting on the dock, watching boats pass by, adds to the charm. First, I savor my cocktail, and then I indulge in the particularly delicious appetizers.Today; my spouse, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson joined me for another visit. Once again, we sat on the dock right by the water. However, I must emphasize that making a reservation a few days in advance is essential; otherwise, securing a table can be quite challenging.Happy hour drink specials are available every day between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM, and except for weekends, there are happy hour food options on weekdays. You can also visit for Sunday brunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, although we usually come here exclusively for dinner.As always, we ordered a variety of starters to share. The Guacamole, Spicy Sautéed Shrimp, Crab Cake, Loaded Potato Dipper and Pepperoni Flatbread were especially delightful. However, I found the Steamed Mussels somewhat mediocre and not to my taste. Previously, there used to be a delicious octopus dish with a special sauce and potatoes, but unfortunately, it was absent from the current menu. When I inquired, I was informed that the chef had changed, and the dish was no longer offered. It truly was a starter worth trying, and perhaps they’ll reintroduce it after some time.Even if you’re not in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the nearby cities. Especially if you appreciate waterfront views and enjoy watching different boats and yachts pass by while dining, it offers a truly unique and elegant waterfront dining experience. Boaters can also dock their boats here for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking lots are available just in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of paid parking lots next to the restaurant.“

“These guys are on point. Always consistently great. No surprises. I’m go here at least once or twice a week. Excellent simple clean Greek food. Prices are also extremely affordable. High quality ingredients. Most everything made on premises. Love this place!“
“Delicious food with amazing service. Everything is made from scratch and made with love! The owner, Christina, is there front and center showing pride in her business and greeting every person. Such a lovely place that will definitely be a regular spot for me!“
“Oliv Pit Was very accommodating in our request to seat a group of 14 in the outdoor patio . Dionysus provided the best service we could've asked for making our experience a great one. Trio appetizer, meatballs, falafel, and beet salad were great. Pita sandwich choices and drink menu were good tookThank you. Everyone loved it“
“I have always love this restaurant and dined here often. Yesterday, my experience was not as good as usual. I always order the lamb chops. I ordered them “medium” but the first one I ate was actually very well done. The second one I cut into was very rare, so it put it aside because I knew I would have leftovers to take home and I figured I could good it through. The lamb chops, in general, were very fatty. There was more fat on some of them than meat. I guess it was a bad batch because I always order this meal and I rave about it. This time I ordered the large portion intending to have leftovers. The second night, not much better. One additional chop was very rare and the other extremely fatty.. My guest ordered the stuffed sole and it looked devine and tasted delicious. The salads (the Greek and the beet salad) were yummy and the side vegetables and potatoes also were good. I was surprised to not see enough servers outside on the patio. We had to keep looking for our waiter for water and extra napkins. He did treat us to a complimentary piece of delicious dessert, a combination of cheesecake and baklava. I did not make a fuss at all, but no one really asked how things were while we were dining. Of course, I will come back here. Everything is usually perfect and the ambiance is beautiful when sitting outside.“
“We decided to try this restaurant because the menu looked really good. When we got there it was a special limited menu - Moroccan Night. I was not sure my husband could find something to eat. We ordered the Branzino and grilled shrimp and Lamb chops. It was extremely delicious and flavorful. We sat outside on the inter-coastal. It was a great way to end our stay in Florida.“
“This place is amazing. Listening to a pleasing techno/house music right when you walk in. Ordered the gyro. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. I couldn’t take the photo of the food fast enough I had to take a bite ?“
“Places is amazing. Food is delicious chef Mickey is fantastic. He comes to the table always smiling happy place. Great place to take friends. You'll be proud of the place you take him to the food is just to die for and it's very inexpensive. Compared to most restaurants.“
