Restaurants near Broward Circle Park

An “event” place with lots of kitschy gimmicks. But great food and 100% great service

While visiting Miami with my husband and daughter, I wanted to show them this building which was once a cool but rundown apartment building known as the Amsterdam in the 1980s, when I lived there - before Gianni Versace bought it and turned it into his home. It took me back in time as the entry and lobby is still very much the same, and the walkway to the dining area, which was approx where the door to apt 106 once was. Being there brought back some great memories. The dining area was once another building which GV knocked down to make room for his patio and pool, behind which stands a beautiful, somewhat ostentatious, mosaic tiled wall which fortunately did not cross the line into gaudiness.

We were four people celebrating my birthday. My waiter was Maykel and he was fantastic. Everyone who works there has a great attitude, all willing to help the other, which is very unusual for a restaurant like this. It was a pleasant surprise and made my birthday super special. The food is meticulously done in such nice taste. Everything has a beautiful presentation. This is not the restaurant where you come starving because the portions are small but delicious. Every bite is an explosion of taste in your mouth. We ordered 12 different appetizers all amazing. The most impressive thing about this restaurant was the service and the energy inside. It’s just a great ambience. There was a fire dancer. The mood is fun. Thank you so much for making my birthday special.

If you like Turkish / Mediterranean food - you will love the fresh pitas, charcoal roasted meats, and endless Mezze of Doya - don't hesitate, just go.

Totally SEXY VIBE. Around 7:00pm is absolutely packed and you can barely move around. After 9:00 you can finally have an audible conversation. Amazing fire dancing entertainment. Visually stimulating in every way. Aesthetically pleasing. Very expensive. AMAZING SERVICE. DELICIOUS FOOD. Unforgettable experience.
