“Absolutely incredible experience. We celebrated our 16-year anniversary here, and everything about the night was perfect.

The service was top notch, everyone was kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely special for our celebration. You can tell they take pride in creating a great experience.

The food was outstanding. The Wagyu filet was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the lobster bisque was delicious. To top it off, the New York cheesecake was probably the best we’ve ever had, an amazing finish to the meal.

If you’re looking for a place for a special occasion or just an exceptional dining experience, this is it. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Food was great, the staff was marvelous, the ambience was spectacular. We had oysters which were clean and fresh, the ceviche was fabulous and the best I’ve ever tasted and the golden tile fish entree was amazing. Highly recommend. Incredible knowledge of all allergies, including celiac. Olivia was outer server and we had questions about the vodka in a drink so she asked the bar tender who switched out the coladas so the drink could be gf. Even the corn chips, plantain chips and French fries were done in a dedicated fryer. We will be back and even the manager,Luke, came out to speak with us“

“Our waiter was fantastic and the timely service superb!“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! From the ambiance to the food, I can't help but admire it.

“4 of us had dinner at Belle and Maxeell’s Saturday night, May 28, 2022. This was our 2nd visit. It won’t be our last. As before, the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately, as so many restaurants, right now, they were severely short handed however, we truly never noticed. The servers took exceptional care of us. Topping off our meal was THE BEST RICOTTA CHEESECAKE we’ve ever eaten. Thank you Belle and Maxwell's for making my Birthday special.“

“The food is exceptional, and you will not leave hungry. Very good service and not overpriced. We were there on a Saturday two weeks ago and they had a male & female singing that were fantastic and was told they will be there on Saturday nights starting at 6:30. We will be back with our friends.“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks, but absolutely horrendous, and i mean, horrendous, service. Likely the worst ive had in south florida. I refuse to go back. Every step of the experience was painstakingly slow“

“The Grove has been a long time favorite but tonight started out shaky. 6 of us at the table- we placed drink orders, but almost 30 mins had passed and we hadn’t received them. They apologized and said the ticket printer malfunctioned. We didn’t make a big deal of it, but they could probably see the dissatisfaction on our faces. The rest of the night was a workshop on class and customer service. They brought two extra apps to the table unsolicited. Everything we ate was a 10/10… as usual. We ordered 2 desserts to share and they showed up with every dessert on the menu. What else is there to say? They killed it“

“First time back in about a decade and I’m happy to report it’s just as good as I remembered it. The concept is great, was there for the USA vs Paraguay World Cup match and they had all the TV’s on for the game. The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was huge and included some THC beverages and non-alcoholic options which is nice if you’re avoiding alcohol. Didn’t get into the food this visit but the plates being served did look really good.“

“Wonderful food and service, in an absolutely beautiful restaurant! We started with happy hour drinks at the bar before moving to a table on the outside patio (I highly recommend this because you get to enjoy both indoor and outdoor atmospheres!). Our server Ali (Kemal) was great! He was attentive and knowledgeable. Our meals were delicious and the food was plentiful. We had the Burger, Caesar Salad with Salmon, and Brussels Sprouts. On our way out, we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Connor Grasso, who gave us an amazing tour of the restaurant and private dining rooms, which are available for large parties or groups. He was so helpful and friendly when I asked if I could take some photos and videos of the space. This is one of my favorite places in the area. The interior design is absolutely stunning. The whole hotel is beautiful. I highly recommend the visit!“

“What a great find! Julie was so friendly and helpful. I had the duck which had been recommended by friends. Absolutely amazing! It's a very small restaurant, so definitely make reservations. Just fabulous!“

“We had a lot of fun, BUT the ball machine was broken, and the above light half out not to mention, they double charged us on my credit card. So BEWARE they charge you at the bay for rental and food/drink when you leave and then ghost charge you later for the bay rental again with the card you reserved with. They don't answer the phones there or call back if you leave a message, so you have to do a dispute with your bank. SO pay attention and CHECK YOUR CC CHARGES Very unsavory business practice.“

“My first experience dining here, read the reviews and they sounded good so decided to book a reservation. Arrived at the restaurant had to park four blocks away parking is atrocious. The hostess was busy talking on her phone, never a good sign. Sat down finally, decided on an appetizer and some entrees the waiter came back and said they were out of the appetizer, started off bad. Very limited fish dishes, ordered a steak dish and a fish dish,nothing spectacular and it was tough we did not say anything to the waiter the whole situation from beginning to end a total disappointment, couldn't wait to leave, actually felt nauseated after leaving after eating my fish with risotto, it was so greasy. Very loud place hard to have a conversation.I don't know what the hype is about this place because the prices do not match the food quality or the presentation. Would not recommend nor would I go back ever. The whole vibe was uninspiring and the atmosphere was just not a good experience or fun. I guess if you're a drinker this place might be fun but if you're not it makes waiting for your entree for 45 minutes more excruciating, was not impressed about anything about this place and I wanted to be. Note to manager find a Hostess that seems like she's interested in seating people and not talking on the phone. I could honestly say I had better food at the gas station on the way into town, the homemade empanadas there were amazing. All I can say to people is beware of reviews you'll get burned I know I have on several occasions. I've run into people who absolutely love this place while I've been in town, wish I could say the same. maybe I was there on an off night but waiting 45 minutes for an entree when three of their tables were seated and served before I was seemed a little strange. the wait staff seem tired and uninspired.“

“Very noisy and crowded but the best Cuban food. Best to get there at 5:30. Outside is too close to the street, noisy there too.“

“Highly recommend Lucille's to everyone, especially if you like ribs!! Great atmosphere, Great service and Amazing food!!“

“We enjoy coming here, the food is good and its a good bar. Love the wings. The back area for darts and shooting pool is also makes this a favorite. We love this place. Only complaint is the DJ is questionable/sus so hopefully they change it up more often.“

“This spot is a classic gem, the perfect little place to grab some comfort food without breaking the bank. The service is prompt and attentive, the food is incredibly tasty, and the portions are generous. I highly recommend trying the crazy quesadilla and the grilled chicken salad!“

“Best burger and chicken wings anywhere in the country. 🎤“

“They are our favorite go to Deli ! The best Reuben and Rachel sandwiches ever ♥️♥️“

“Food is great. Drinks are awesome. What is missing is hospitality in service quality. No eye contacts from the server at all. They won't make any gesture to care for your table. A little careless environment as far as serving goes. Everything else is superb but you would love to be served when you dine in especially repeatedly. They don't dare to care.“

“Best Corned Beef sandwich in Florida. Meat is stacked high on actually hand sliced rye bead. Taste and quality matches NYC Katz’s Deli. Worth the drive.“
