Best Latin American Restaurants in Dania Beach

We had a lovely table right by the water. The hostess offered us blankets which was a nice touch as it was a cooler night. All of the food was delicious and the portions were fairly generous.

We went early midweek so the restaurant was quiet. Seating is roomy and the ambience is very appealing. Appetizers were delicious with a flavorful combination of ingredients and I recommend them all; hamachi ceviche, smoked swordfish dip, sweet corn empanadas. Our entries were the salmon and 32 oz Wagyu Tomahawk (shared by 3). All prepared as ordered and very tasty. Service was excellent. Great experience.

Traveling from San Francisco…on Christmas Eve…. We didn’t even expect to find a restaurant open let alone serving with joy and enthusiasm! Not sure which shined harder…the food or the service! Both were extraordinarily exceptional! We got the tasting menu for a price we would never had expected in an SF restaurant! It was a steal! But our wonderful server informed us we didn’t pick from each course…we got ALL the plates in each course. We were like: uhm…I know we are two decent sized guys but we are not a small army. She said the plates were small! And that is the only complaint I have. She said the plates were small! She lied! Virtually every plate was an entire meal! Sooooo much food. And all of it so good, we couldn’t stop eating! It was crazy! And it was all for a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in San Francisco! One of the top 3 restaurants of my life!

Excellent customer service. Food was great. We would go back in a heartbeat.

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Ocean Grill and Bar, a lovely Latin-Mediterranean restaurant located on Harrison St. in downtown Hollywood, Fl near the circle. The hostess, Yasmin, greets you warmly as you enter, and you are seated immediately. The beautiful ambiance envelopes you, and you are wrapped in stunning color and lights. For starters, I had large shrimp bathed in milk cream and sitting in these delicious pastry cups. My husband had cerviche, which was very fresh and loaded with many kinds of seafood, both shellfish and fish. The citrus flavor enhanced the dish well, as did the various vegetables that were part of the cerviche. Complimentary homemade hummus with pita triangles was the best we've ever had. For our main course, I had the citrus salmon accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband had a whole sea bass with a variety of vegetables. Both were outstanding. Yasmin comes to the table and torches your herbs so that they are infused into the fish. Such a nice touch. We shared their homemade coconut creme Brule, which was also torched in front of us to give the dessert a nice crispy topping. A beautiful and talented singer sang in both English and Spanish, entertaining us and adding a festive mood as she danced and interacted with the diners. Ocean Grill and Bar is the place to go if you want magnificent food, superb ambiance, fun entertainment, and a staff who treats you like royalty. Thank you, Yasmin, our beautiful hostess, Roberto, our friendly, sweet waiter, and Osvaldo, the kind and caring manager.
