“I'm not sure how many chicken tender restaurants the world needs, but as of today, I only need one! First time here and Huey's is now my favorite chicken tender. The seasoning, their sauce, the juicy tenderness of the chicken and their crispy batter, are perfection!“

“I had just gotten off the Brightline after attending my dear friend's Celebration of Life. My friend picked me up from the train station and suggested that we enjoy a healthy lunch nearby at Naked Farmer. I had never heard of it before. The food was fresh, healthy, and delicious! The staff was all kind and welcoming, especially Violet. That is why I was confused when another person was dissatisfied with their meal; the staff went above and beyond to address the situation and accommodate the complaint. Even after they brought this person a heaping portion of tofu, they still complained and threatened to write a bad review. From what I experienced, it didn't seem fair to do that when they were following their normal protocol for serving sizes to begin with. I enjoyed my meal, and the staff disputed their loud, disruptive behavior. I would definitely go back again. I always enjoy it when someone else makes a healthy meal, and there are no dishes.“

“I invited 4 ladies for our Supper Club to join me at Seasons 52, which is usually held at one of our homes (we've been meeting for 15 years). With a few ladies out of town, this time we chose to get together at a restaurant, and I chose Seasons 52 because it is consistently a great choice. The food, the atmosphere and the service. Brenna was so helpful in suggesting a sparkling wine and flatbread to start, ready for us just as we were seated. The table was just perfect, very quiet. And the food was delicious. We so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and hospitality for our Supper Club dinner.“

“Had such a great experience at YOLO! Reuben was our server and he was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. His service genuinely made the experience even better. If you go, definitely ask for Ruben — 10/10 service! 🤍“

“Chelsea S. Was our waitress and she was friendly and very helpful. We had happy hour beverages and both the Pina Colada and Coconut Cloud Martini were delicious! Shareable were tasty and filling. I would recommend the Street corn Dip and the Ahi Tuna Tacos. We would recommend and will be back!“

“Amazing, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our family on August 23, Everything was amazing from the room setup to the service and food. Our family raved about the whole experience. And a special thank to Dani, The Momager. She was fabulous throughout our planning for our event. Hats off to all.“

“Great place for dinner & dancing. Food surprisingly fresh and good every time. Charging extra for a PIECE of bread with my salad, NOT COOL! I get inflation, but seriously, and especially since we were a table of 6 drinking & eating!“

“I’ve been to The Kester at the Marriott Pompano Beach a few times now, including for brunch and most recently while they were participating in a Visit Lauderdale dining special, and I’ve had a great experience each time.

The food has consistently been good, the service is welcoming, and I love the relaxed atmosphere. It’s a nice spot whether you’re staying at the hotel or you’re local and just looking for somewhere to enjoy a meal near the beach.

I’ve especially enjoyed coming here for brunch, but it was also nice getting to experience a different side of their menu through the Visit Lauderdale special. Definitely a spot I’m happy to return to!“

“Always reliable good food, menu and service.“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“The food was amazing the servers are so nice best breakfast place I’ve been to in a while“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and amazing customer service.“

“We had the best dinner at a local Plantation restaurant - we highly recommend Burtons Grill & Bar! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and accommodating and even the Manager came over to our table to thank us. I had a beautiful (large) salad topped with Thai steak and it was healthy and delicious. Ron almost always orders a burger and it was cooked perfectly with a large amount of awesome fries. The nice thing we liked about it, also, is that there is a lovely outdoor patio with fans and very comfortable. Our server was delightful, and we noticed that ALL of the servers were smiling and attentive to everyone! Oh, yes, we will be back!!“

“Such a lovely safe haven for those at sea and vacationers looking for a place to rest before a cruise! There are tons of activities for kids like air hockey, foosball, and more while you wait for the food. We had the grilled chicken special (off menu) and gyro plate. Everything was made to order and fresh!“

“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“

“Jason was absolutely the best ever ty for an amazing first experience at this establishment“

“Me encantó el muy buen servicio y la comida. Mi Ahi Tuna plate estaba espectacular sobre todo el cauliflower rice… Awesome!!!“

“Nice atmosphere, good food.“

“Amazing food they always hook you up with fresh food, but the best part is the customer service especially moustafa handsome young man with glasses (single for all u ladies interested) treated me with such amazing care and was very understanding and quick.“

“There is nothing on their menu that isn't fresh. So very good! The staff is very attentive and friendly! This is a hidden gem in Margate!“

“I’m not from the area—I was in town for a test and decided to stop by for dinner. I’m so glad I did! The food was delicious, fresh, and well prepared. The service was outstanding, especially from Levi (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly). He was friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. It was a great experience, and I’ll definitely come back if I’m ever in town again. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered through DoorDash. Our door dasher forgot our pizza!! Eric the owner happened to hear me on the phone with Mike trying to get door dash to fix it and redeliver and Doordash refused to do it. But Eric called me back and personally met me near by to deliver the pizza himself!! If Pirmanti Fort Lauderdale was my fav pizza spot before now this location has been added to my favs & you will always have our business!! Great customer service does still exist!! Thank you all for not letting or dinner get ruined!!“

“We stopped in on our way to the airport to go home to Iowa. The food was exceptional and the best meal we had while in Florida. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, actually. It was our first experience with kosher food and the owner explained everything to us in detail. Highly recommend!“

“Food and service was good“

“Amazing people and amazing food.
The staff were one of a kind and always checked on you- with attentiveness and care. Was visiting out of town for a friends wedding and she surely stopped by for a few slices as well! Will make sure we visit again.“

“My husband and I started going to Mya Papaya a few JJ the ago and now we are there a couple times a weeks and bringing friends. I am a newish vegan and love the extensive vegan and omnivore choices for families like ours!“

“Still dreaming about the lunch my mom and I had at Ocean2000! Overall, it was a great experience. Food was amazing (spinach artichoke dip, steak & frites), the view was beautiful, and they had good music that wasn't too loud. Our server, Will, provided excellent service as well. I consider this place a hidden gem, but I will be telling all my friends about it because more people need to know about this place!“

“great, kind service.....clean....and as usual, a great tuna melt.“

“Great pizza best prices around, lots of other food options as well“

“Great spot for fast casual food!“

“Been wanting to try a chef’s counter experience for a while now, and finally took the plunge with this weekend’s Mario themed menu.

The meal was exceptional with curation but approachability. Layered high quality details committed to flavor throughout.

My highlights were the mushroom truffle arancini (the onion dusted polenta underneath was insane!), the ricotta ramp stuffed zucchini flowers, and the bbq rib with a bright san marzano sauce on top. But every dish was great.

As more restaurants open down here, it can be hard to find the ones that present real quality rather than expensive dinner theater that pantomimes an elevated experience. This spot was so refreshing for me because it was a genuinely unique, high quality, and elevated meal that felt worth the price.

I really loved how thoughtful the dishes and drink pairings were, it’s clear the minds behind the menu care about curating something truly special. It’s great to have a spot with rotating menus that are actually good and engaging chef preparations/presentations of the dishes.

I honestly can’t speak highly enough about my visit. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!“

“We were so impressed with the menu choices, how nice everyone was & how delicious our food was. They definitely take so much pride in the food the serve. We will definitely recommend this restaurant. Our server Raanan was the best! Thank you for treating us like family 😊“

“Great food, fun, and atmosphere. Excellent service don't miss a beat! 🩷“

“Had dinner here with my girlfriend. We sat at the bar, Henry and Daniel were amazing. Holly the manager even stopped by to make sure everything was on point. If you’re looking for a good place to have good food and drinks, this is the place.“

“My friend and mentor such passion for the craft“
