    Absolutely best restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale. From the chef to management to the wait staff everyone is striving for excellence and it shows. Had the filet and pork dishes the first visit. Had valentine special last night. It is a must visit. Can’t wait to come back . Ask for Victoria to be your server. She will not disappoint.

    The restaurant is absolutely stunning. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of the river & celebrated my husbands birthday. The service was one of the best in Fort Lauderdale from every person we interacted with. We enjoyed the aged Steak for the table. Our server brought out a birthday dessert as well as an assortment of sweets at the end. The salted Carmel financiers were soooo good. We cant wait to come back

    Mandatory valet parking very slow on departure, and distant from restaurant entry doors. Difficult for those with mobility issues.
    CalussoResponded today

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will look into ways to better accommodate all our guests, including those with mobility concerns.

    The prefix valentines menu was a fail, offering sub par options and a disappointing experience. I was actually looking forward to sampling the standard menu, but denied the option during dinner and was given no notification that that wouldn’t be available, even after confirming the reservation and checking the website several times.

    If you’re a guest at the resort and don’t want to go far for dinner this is a fine option, but with so many options in the area it did not stand out. The prices did not reflect the experience of the food, and the interior seemed dated even though it’s brand new. The service at the bar was very good, and the service in the dining room was friendly but a little chaotic. My Sancerre was old and flat.
