Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout my visit. They genuinely care about creating a memorable experience, and it shows! The barge ders are an absolute delight. Their friendly demeanor and expert knowledge of the menu made our time there even more enjoyable. They were quick to recommend some of the best dishes, and I was blown away by their recommendations! Speaking of food, it was nothing short of incredible. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a fan of seafood, steak, or vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone.

The combination of great music and a vibrant crowd made for an unforgettable evening. Overall, Pier 14 is a must-visit destination. The exceptional management, outstanding barge ders, mouthwatering food, and fantastic atmosphere all come together to create a truly remarkable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!“

“We had a great time trying out Casa Playa on Fort Lauderdale Beach! Just a block away from the ocean, this spot is gorgeous, with outdoor seating and open-air bar seats. The Menu is Latin fusion with a lot of Peruvian influence. The Peruvian Ceviche was spot on. The Grilled Octopus was cooked perfectly. The whole fried fish was crunchy and juicy! Hard to stop eating it. One of my favorites is the Jalea, which is deep fried seafood platter.. So Good! The cocktails and wines were also very refreshing! The Pisco Playa is their take on a Pisco sour, and it was delicious as well! This is a great spot for lunch, dinner or just a couple drinks at the bar. I recommend you stop by next time you’re on Fort Lauderdale Beach. And a special thanks to Reina, Joey and Geraldo for treating us great!“

“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.“

“I have visited the restaurant on several occasions and have never encountered any issues. The staff are friendly and professional. Their food is really good, offering an experience that closely resembles enjoying authentic Tapas in Spain. Their Santiago cake and also the cheesecake are really good!“

“Locals : find this great spot now before it gets too popular ! It’s all good !!“

“I'm in LOVE with MISO!! Delicious food and drink options. Ambience is perfect for date night, girl time, meetup... Parking is usually tough in this area but MISO validates. I found this hidden gem looking for a new place to host my calligraphy events and it's perfect! The owner is also the chef; so friendly and makes super unique dishes along with traditional favs. Must try!“

“Since moving here from Texas I’ve been DESPERATE to find some good mexican food, and I finally found it! We went for the late night happy hour, they had great drink specials, the bartender was friendly and the food was so amazing. The street corn and pork belly tacos were my favorites but everything I ate was just perfection. I’ll definitely be back“

“Coolest place with great music“

“This rooftop bar is absolutely amazing! The views are breathtaking, offering the perfect backdrop for sunsets and city lights. The cocktails are creative and well-balanced, with something for every palate. The vibe is relaxed yet upscale, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in – a must-visit spot!“

“Best steak salad EVER. Went back two days in a row. Not pretentious. Not over the top anything. Just a VERY comfortable place. Everyone is “Honey” and it’s a good thing. Almost as I imagine visiting your nurturing older sister’s house while in her town. Allie and Mark (I could have this wrong-drinks were good) were amazing. My wife and I sat at the bar and people-watched. Raspberry
Spritzer and a Toasted Almond were served and the show began. Allie and Mark-I really think those are their names- were conductors in an orchestra of orders and customers. Thursday night rush or a popular place anytime….. but they were constantly and deliberately moving. Freddie was working to run food and bus tables and make sure EVERYONE had a great experience. Our steak salad and Bbq flatbread were plated beautifully. I had the steak salad and it has a champagne vignagrette over candied pecans, sliced pear, and other goodness. We also had the goat cheese skillet…. The bread it was served with was VERY GOOD. The goat cheese was too spicy for me…. But my wife liked it.

The MVP of the night might have been the chef’s assistant… or the cook’s right hand. Sitting at the bar we had a full view into the open kitchen. Picture a two foot square area surrounded by tools and appliances and filled with TALENT. The chef is good…. But she was having a come-a-part and it showed to us as spectators. As diners…. The food didn’t show it. The assistant… talented, female, tan, brown hair …. Never heard her name….. but she put out fire after fire in the fire in the mind of the chef……. Talked her off the ledge multiple times……

Like I said the food was great…. The assistant was an MVP and Mark and Ellie? Allie? Hallie? Tattood right arm…. Shakes a mean martini….. ellie I think…. She and mark were great!!!!

Might have one more salad tomorrow!“

“This place is fantastic. Great food, staff and patrons.“

“Love it here always a pleasure“

“Great detail in the cocktails. Sophisticated drinks and gentle vibe“

“My husband and I found this little corner of heaven on our 15-year anniversary. We were worried that the small bites on the menu were not going to satisfy our hunger, but they were more than enough, on top of being delicious. The "tuna tartare tower" is my favorite, but they have lots of other appetizers that will please a variety of tastes. The libations are excellent as well as unique. Worth a try, if just for that.I heard they had love music, but that's not what made us try the joint. However, Angels Piano and her beautiful repertoire of songs is what made us stay till closing. We had such an amazing time, we're definitely making this one of our favorite spots in Pompano Beach.For an unforgettable night, make sure Angels Piano will be part of the night's entertainment. ❤️??❤️??“

“This was my first time patronizing this establishment. We were immediately greeted and seated upon arrival. The daiquiri and food were AMAZING! Our server Simone was FANTASTIC! Happy Birthday Queen! ❤️ Great place, great prices and great overall experience! LOVE that it is Black Owned! Women rule! 😉“

“Discovered this place 2 1/2 months ago and have been there 5 times. Best Thai food I have had since Sukkho Thai closed. Every dish we have tried was excellent. Spring Rolls are amazing. We have a friend from Thailand and this is the only Thai restaurant she will go to.“

“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!“

“I think it is the best Caribbeans restaurant in Florida. No more“

“George, the beverage director, was so nice and hospitable. He created his own cocktails for me after I was a little indecisive and everything was delicious ! I got a short rib curry dish and it came right off the bone and came out exactly as described. I recommend coming if your in the mood for a yummy Asian appetizer and craft cocktail“

“Always a nice time there, friendly service and great food!“

“This place was recommended to me by a few friends and it didn’t disappoint! Live music, good food and my server Monica recommendations were on point!“
