Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Oakland Park

A child’s bookbag was left there - we called and no one is returning our phone call. We were there on Sunday night. Erica 732-687-7592

The House on the River is my “go to” for Sunday brunch prior to a show at Broward Performing Arts. This was my second visit and I am already looking forward to returning with my granddaughter in December! The food and drinks are delicious. The ambiance—both inside and outside seating—is stellar. Our waiter—“Sam”—was thoughtful and made sure we got to our show on time. A wonderful spot on the river that has old school charm with classic brunch fare beautifully prepared.

Our server (Hernando) was phenomenal & made great dish and wine suggestions. The shell tower, for the value, did not come with much but was flavorful. The branzino was probably the best I’ve ever had & the sundae dessert was delicious. The ambience was very nice, but if you plan to sit near the bar, prepare for quite a bit of noise as the night progresses. Overall a great experience and we’re likely to go back.

We had a great time. Our reservation was for 8:15 and they promptly sat us. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The music was great and we loved the live DJ. The music was a little loud, but not crazy. The food and drinks were ok. A little pricey for the taste. Overall we enjoyed it.

Wonderful meal. All pastas were al dente, pizza crust was flavorful and perfectly charred in the brickoven. Service was terrific. Andrew our waiter was very attentive as was the rest of the team. As transplanted New Yorkers, this is the Italian food you crave.
