“Jerk Chicken and Fried Rice for $5 Advertised. Spent $17+ on two orders🧐? Awesome chicken though 😋“

“Second time in the last four years that we had our company holiday party at The Oceanic. Maria is incredibly detail oriented and took care of everything. The staff, the food, the bar service and the entertainment was fantastic. The lamb chops were also great! Highly recommend…“

“Whoa! I want to start by praising my server, Clarissa, for providing the greatest service. It was incredibly tasty in every bite and sip. A true reproduction of Peruvian cuisine, really. Everything was perfect, including the food, service, and menu. I had a typical pisco sour and cebiche a la brasa; if you enjoy cebiche, I heartily recommend it! I'm going to return and tell everyone I know about Manta. Fish tanks, beautiful design, and good music. Bravo to the wonderful personnel and chef!“

“My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it was a great choice. We were treated very well with a decorated table, a free dessert, and a nice card from the restaurant.

The appetizers were the star of the show! We got the crab cake, beef tartar, and we each got the lobster bisque. These were our favorite items of our entire vacation!! Very fresh and delightful. We also got the sea bass and scallops which were also quite delicious- although I will say the sweet potato puree was a touch too sweet for my liking with rich scallops. Nonetheless, very tasty. Great cocktails as well and fantastic service!“

“I can't get enough of this place; everything is fresh and tasty and the prices are good. I'm there at least once a week and drive a half hour for their mahi mahi. The lobster rolls are big and meaty and the shrimp is always prepared perfectly.“

“I’ve been going to this restaurant since it first opened. I have not had a better experience with Seafood Boils than here. If anyone else says otherwise, they don’t know what they’re talking about! Kiki is usually my waitress, and she has shown me NOTHING but kindness, generosity, and I really appreciate her work ethic. This place is great if you like Seafood Boils, and all the workers here are great 👍“

“I've been to Embarcadero Coral Springs location several times and this is my first time in Sunrise. Same good quality of food and its presentation, ambiance, and service! The staff were consistently moving around clearing tables and dishes came out quick. A bit pricey but def recommend. We ordered:

1) Pique 3 Ceviches Corvina $36- sauces were lite, fish was soft, and would be even better if it could be spicy

2) Anticuchos de Lomo Fino $20- beef was well cooked

3) Maki Parrillero Roll $20- dainty little pieces but packs some food flavors

4) Arroz con Mariscos $24- Parmesan cheese makes this dish so much yummier each bite“

“Tonight my wife and I had two guests , one from out of town , and we spent a few hrs on the boat. We stopped here for dinner and it was packed. A server named Allie came over and checked to make sure we were on the list.When we were seated Allie took great care of us and the meal was great !!! Entrees, drinks and appetizers all great - price was surprisingly fair“

“The paring are always the best. I look forward to this every month. I have been at every one of them and they have been successful. This week's pairing was excellent, the food choices were superb the drinks third and fourth were a bit sweet but still enjoyable. I think this is one of the best parings I've been to. Please continue having them every month. This is where me and the girls come and vent and talk trash and have a great time.😂😂😂“

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

“Lucky Fish Pompano truly made our Florida vacation unforgettable!

The food and drinks were absolutely amazing—fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. But what really stood out was the honesty and kindness of the staff and management.

I want to give a very special thank you to Christian Toppino, one of the most honest and genuine people I’ve met while traveling. I accidentally lost my wallet, and Christian went above and beyond to find me on Facebook, contact me, and personally make sure my wallet was safely sent back to my home in Virginia. That level of integrity and care is rare and deeply appreciated.

Thank you to Christian Toppino, the manager, and the entire team for your incredible service, honesty, and hospitality. You didn’t just serve great food—you helped make lifelong memories from our vacation.

Highly recommend Lucky Fish Pompano to anyone visiting Florida!“

“Visited from the UK, absolutely stunning place to visit, the outside could do with a bit of a makeover, but the inside and harbour were stunning. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious.“

“Last night was my first time here. The food was great as well as the service. The fried snapper, lobster macaroni and cheese, and tempora shrimp sushi roll were all delicious. Can't wait to come back!“

“Best seafood in Ft. Lauderdale!!“

“Awesome you need to go and try this place“

“AMAZING!!! I'm not a fan of seafood, but I went to Kelly's Restaurant and was amazed. They have delicious food. They're also famous for their lobster. 100% recommended. The staff are friendly and attentive, always smiling. Jake in particular was very attentive. He's very sweet and has a big smile. Excellent customer service. Thank you.“

“The wife and I were shopping and we were hungry. We happen to look across the parking lot and saw Hook’s Catch. We walked in and put our order in, come to find out they didn’t have chicken livers. But we wound up getting what we wanted. Fried oysters instead of the chicken livers, which were actually amazing! Later on Josephine and Zaid pulled through! We got the chicken livers!!!! Thank you“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Food was amazing waiter was fabulous. Every entree was cooked to perfection. We sat by the water under the full moon great atmosphere. The only negative I had after a 250$ check is to find the next day someone at the restaurant ran my car again and again for another 250 2xs. Food was great so maybe next time ill pay cash“

“Real Florida seafood served with casual laid back feel. The service is always friendly. This is my go to place year round, can’t beat it!“

“We loved our food with great service! The mussels in a garlic marinara sauce were the best but more bread to dip would have been appreciated. I had Broiled Scrod with garlic roasted green beans topped with roasted red peppers. Others had broiled scallops, shrimp scampi, fish and chips. The fish dishes were delicious and being from Eastern Canada on the seashore, we were more than delighted to have had such great seafood in South Florida! Kudos to the Chefs and Kitchen Staff!! Have been here for 4 months and it was my preferred place for a meal. The portions were more than plenty! 5 stars to the Dania Fish Grill. March 09, 2023“

“We had Kristie as our waitress. Service and food was amazing! I recommend this spot for dinner, brunch, or lunch! Will be back soon! Thank you again“

“We got the lunch special catch of the day and it was delicious. The fish and chips are amazing too.“

“We have been going here for 30 years. This is one of my favorite places to go!!!“

“Best seafood in Florida I recommend this place“

“Great Food Excellent Service & Extremely Classy 💕“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Daniel’s Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and every bite on the plate was bursting with flavor. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, with soft lighting and a serene private dining space. Our server, Nina, was wonderful—warm, attentive, and professional. Even the managers stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was perfect. From start to finish, the service and food were pure perfection. The red velvet birthday cake was the sweetest finale to an incredible night. Daniel’s truly delivers a five-star dining experience in every way.“

“Excellent food in a casual feeling restaurant overlooks the pool and ocean“

“1st time trying fried pickles THE BEST!!!!“

“I primarily visit Whiskey Neat - Plantation. I really enjoy the ambiance, and the staff is always attentive. Great place for a variety of Old Fashions … Highly recommend visiting and you won’t be disappointed.“

“These guys are THE BEST. Not only is the food just as amazing as it’s always been (I’ve been a semi-regular for nearly 25 years), but the staff and management are top notch. Recently my best friend passed and his brother knew he loved Catfish Dewey’s, so he wanted to have a dinner there with local friends, neighbors, and colleagues. I went in and spoke to Joe, the manager. He assured they’d make it happen and they did so, flawlessly and with great attention to detail. They managed a party of nearly 48 people in addition to their regular clientele, even bringing in extra staff to help with the event. These folks went out of their way to make sure this special event went flawlessly and it did. The waitresses, whose names I cannot remember (I told you I wouldn’t…sorry! Ha!) were amazing. Food runners, on point. Bartenders, outstanding. Management, excellent. There’s a lot of love and care in this establishment and it should be celebrated. There’s not enough of that these days. Support local businesses who care, especially those with GREAT food AND great people like Catfish Deweys.“

“This company is located at the Yellow Green Farmers Market in Hollywood FL on Sheridan St. booth #640….don't get Ceviche from any other Ceviche places there. I ordered the Classic Ceviche, and was not disappointed! It was fresh, and delicious! The owner and his wife were very friendly and provided very good customer service. They make the ceviche fresh to order. I will return, and recommend this restaurant if you happen to go to this Farmers Market. It’s not right at the entrance but worth the walk thru!! 👍“

“great service and food. our waitress was attentive and food delicious. sad they didn't have the drink I wanted but overall a great place“

“Great location food and atmosphere! Right on the beach.“

“Best Jamaican food in Fort Lauderdale right now“

“I finally got to try their food. It is amazing. I sampled shrimp with the garlic sauce. They knocked this out of the park. I also had the Cuban sandwich with pulled pork, wow! If you go, be sure to buy the garlic sauce and use it for cooking, on top of steaks, chicken, or pork. I am going back there very soon.“

“Today 7-23-22 2 pm out door deck late lunch Our waiter was Marcelo , he was so sweet, patient and helpful, he made us feel comfortable, not rushing us , Thank you Marcelo awesome time.“

“We had breakfast on the veranda. I’ll give grace for the construction work; I knew about it before choosing to eat here. The circular saw use was a bit loud, but it was only a quick startle.

The food was good but my eggs Benedict and potatoes were cold and the eggs were borderline runny even for “soft”. My husband’s omelet was a bit light on add ins, at a $1 a piece.

Waitress was friendly but a little slow on coffee/tea refills. I did appreciate the offer of a to-go coffee.“

“Top Tier Restaurant and Lounge is awesome. Had lunch there the other day and it was excellent. The steam fish was excellent with rice and peas and bami. It was very good. Service is great and the owners are terrific. The best part is they offer evening events which offer a fun great atmosphere. Top Tier is a fitting name!!!!“

“great wings cooked exactly the way you want“

“This is the second year that we choose to take photos and enjoy the panorama of the sea and enjoy the delicious food. I recommend it.“

“During our stay at the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale, we had dinner at the Burlock Coast Restaurant located within the hotel. The food and service were spot on. There is both indoor and outdoor dining. We enjoyed some cocktails and shared a few appetizers, including the shrimp cocktail. After that, we took a lovely walk along the beach, which is right across from the restaurant.“

“I'm not sure if my last review came through so I will repeat it. All of the reviews I've read on this place is what made me come here except for the ridiculously entitled people who complain about having to wait an extra 10 minutes. To attack a business because they're busy and they're doing their best to get you a seed is selfish and shows how much you think the world revolves around you. I wish they had an app that you can review the reviewer. I hope you get stuck in traffic for the next month. I hope the next time you have to crap in public The person that's in the bathroom before you has constipation. I also hope the next time you have a toothache The dentist gets a flat tire and makes you wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes. This is a great restaurant The food was very good The server was very nice never even paid attention to how long it took to see us I was actually kind of excited because the place was busy and I knew it was going to be good. I was not disappointed.“
