The food and service at Theo's is absolutely excellent. The only downside to this restaurant is that the ambiance is adversely affected by the high noise levels inside the restaurant and by the traffic noise in the outside dining area, which is adjacent to the very busy intersection of Sunrise Blvd. & U.S.1. We greatly appreciated our waiter accommodating our polite request to lower the volume of the music playing outside, which made it possible for our party of four to hear what each other was saying.

ELBA just opened two weeks ago but you’d never know it because the service & food was so good!!! We went for brunch & green hummus, octopus carpaccio, & tuna Niçoise salad. Everything was delicious and our server Luna was the sweetest. I’ll definitely be back.
