“Brenda is the best great service and place is always clean great clientele“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and such excellent service! Definitely will be back! Loved the fritters and the poutine, sooo yummy!“

“We had a fantastic evening at Drift Bar last night. The service was exceptional, with our waiter, Mert, being incredibly attentive and friendly. Supervisor Rachael was also very welcoming and ensured we had a pleasant experience. We truly appreciated the cordial and professional service from the entire team. We highly recommend Drift Bar for a delightful and enjoyable evening."“

“I ride over 60 miles from Miami just to drink here 🤘“

“So I've never been here till today but the people are great and the food is fantastic. The chef brings you your food, and of course ask how it was. Which in most places you don't get. If you have any left that you want to take home he even boxes it up for you. Honestly if you want a good lunch that's done right, here's the bed spot. A must try“

“Great people... good prices. Fun place.“

“Adorable bartender worth going to to see him.“

“I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible service Beethoven provided. I was feeling quite down, but his kindness and positivity really turned my day around. He truly put a smile on my face! I appreciate everything he does.“

“great food and great place to watch Panthers Hockey“

“An awesome place where everybody knows your name. The prices are very affordable and the Drinks are ice cold. Not to forget some good old-school Bartenders like AM Dave on the weekends at 7am. Sherbear and Kelly in the afternoon. Trace and Tim at night will ensure your favorite sports are on one of the 8 TV's.“

“Casa Calabria is one of our favorite hidden gems in Fort lauderdale everytime we visit, but Dominic makes our visits truly special. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care makes us always feel like family from the moment we sit down. Every time we're in south Florida, this is the place we go!! Dominic goes above and beyond with every detail—perfect timing, thoughtful recommendations, and the kind of hospitality you don’t forget. Dominic turns every great dinner into a memorable night. We’ll definitely be asking for him every time. ❤️🍝 The atmosphere is unforgettable and addictive! It's like youre in Italy in Fort Lauderdale, and that's what we were looking for! Everyone greets you with a smile. The food- is amazing and we have tried it all! Dessert and coffee is top notch and you can tell it's homemade. This place is authentic, fun, and very family friendly. We recommend this as a must try in Lauderdale, and recommend Dominic if you want a family oriented vibe! Tell him Cooper & Carson sent you!! And call him Domino 😊“

“The food, cocktails and staff over the top wonderful! We highly recommend the great menu and the margaritas were delicious! The staff was so efficient, helpful and full of fun! Please give them try...you will not regret your decision!“

“Always a great time breakfast, brunch and dinner.“

“Came here for dinner with a large group for a very late dinner. They were about to close the kitchen and still accommodated us. It was very nice of them to allow us to dine and enjoy our time together after a long day of activities. There was a mix up with splitting the bill, but Muhammad, the manager, did an outstanding job of making everything right.

There was a few times I ordered to go from the bar, and Barbara, the bartender, was very genuine and kind. She was alone and was so good at multitasking, from taking phone orders to making conversation with me, to handling other patrons. She's such a hard worker.

During breakfast dine ins, the staff is attentive and kind. Pray, the manager, also did a wonderful job of checking in and asking how my dining experience was going. Overall, a good place to eat. Food is actually good for hotel food! I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Coolest place with great music“

“My wife and I visited for the first time last night. Sat at the bar. Jay our Bartender was outstanding! Gave us great recommendations on the menu and for cocktails. We had a wonderful time, enjoying the food and watching the dancer perform. Would recommend to anybody.“

“Amazing! Can’t wait to go back! Service is also top notch.“

“Great happy hour and dinner experience. Very pleasant waiter handled our party of 7 well. Various offerings were ahi tuna tacos, cauliflower, Hamachi spoons, ceviche. The poppers for the table were to die for! One person had the Corvina, cooked perfectly. Great experience. Valet parking is $5.“

You are the only, only one who make the PERFECT. Key lime Martini.

“One of my fav places for Taco Tuesday. The food, margs & service is always on point! ✨ Everything that we’ve tried on the menu is delish & Jose, our fav bartender, makes the best spicy margaritas in town.😊 Highly recommend to check out this place & a shout out to Tyler as well for his great hospitality. ✨“

“Nice group of people. Amazing bartenders like Frank and Juan. They make you feel like family. The drinks are on point. When you’re not sure what you feel like having, just ask Frank and he will come up with the perfect drynk. Love this place and go to gender I’m in WilMa.“

“2025 Jul
Came for Daiquiri event (It's National Daiquiri Day). Daiquiri flight (natural, strawberry, and ginger w/dried pineapple).

My favorite was the strawberry (not pictured). Afterward had their Bloody Mary with their Basil Vodka (pictured). It was excellent.

Family owned & operated. They also distill various fruit brandys, rums, and gin.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great time at Sushi by Bou. Our chef Jeff was amazing, funny, super informative, and made us feel really welcome. Honestly, the whole team was great, from the bartender to the host. Everyone created such a warm, friendly vibe in this intimate space. We went with the 17-course omakase and every single piece was perfection, truly chef's kiss. The food, the atmosphere, and the people all made for an unforgettable night. Can't wait to go back!“

“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“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pier 14, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the management staff made me feel right at home. 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. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes—you won’t be disappointed! The atmosphere at Pier 14 is simply magical. With stunning views and a lively yet relaxed vibe, it’s the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. The ambiance is enhanced by the talented DJ, who spun an eclectic mix of tracks that kept the energy high without overpowering conversation. 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!“

“Unbelievable find. Traveled with my family and are Portuguese! Lucky for us we found this absolute gem. The food was an amazing, The service like no other and ambience was on point. Wish we had this wonderful establishment close to us in Sebastian FL so we could frequent more often. Raphael was our waiter among others and we felt like we were regulars the way we were treated. When we are back in the area, we will absolutely make this a must visit again. thank you for such a wonderful evening!!!“

“We just had dinner there and the food and the server was great but they lost our debit card from the table to check out. Instead of just saying I’m sorry and don’t worry about the bill they asks for another card. Now we are having to cancel a card they lost and running late to get my nephew back his broadway show tour at the performance arts center because we are looking for the card. Very dissatisfied in there customer service“

“These juices are the best!!! I enjoy them so much especially in this FL weather. My favorite is a strawberry and banana with honey smoothie, and on a hot day a mangonada with chamoy and Tajín ?.Give this place a chance and find out for your self!! ?“

“I have come here for years with family, friends and coworkers and always sit at Sals outside bar. Not only does he always remember my drink and food order, I see him do the same with so many of his customers. He always makes everyone feel welcome and that’s why I come back.“

“Very nice, clean, well kept hotel. The gym has everything you need and good atmosphere. Sandra was such amazing help. I have never had better service as a Titanium Level Member anywhere in the world than from Sandra in the M club. She was everything customer service should be.“

“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. ❤️??❤️??“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an amazing experience at Naked Taco! The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, perfect for both a casual bite or a night out. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and packed with unique twists that make their tacos stand out. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. The drinks were also top-notch, especially the margaritas – refreshing and perfectly balanced. Overall, a fantastic spot that I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and excellent service. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮🍹“

“I had such a great experience thanks to our server, Manny! He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. He struck the right balance between being professional and personable — checking in just enough without being overbearing. You can really tell he takes pride in his work and cares about his guests’ experience. Highly recommend asking for Manny if you visit — he truly made our dining experience memorable!“

“Went tonight for the first time. Started with the southern salad which was so fresh and delicious. Main course we had the whole fried chicken amazing not greasy and very moist. Sweet potato casserole outstanding and those biscuits so good. definitely coming back“

“We have been dining here for a few months now and it’s one of my favorite restaurants. Fast friendly service Mike was our waiter this evening & was fantastic. I highly recommend 5 Stars ⭐️ The food is so delicious and fresh.“
