Restaurants near Villa Van Buren

We were a party of 11 booked for Christmas dinner. Our original reservation had us in an undesirable spot within the restaurant compared to what I normally sit within the restaurant. We met with the manager to give him our feedback on the seating. He immediately surveyed what was available and moved our party to an available private room with two other large parties. It was perfect. The manager was very considerate of our continued patronage to Bourbon but also the day’s importance being Christmas Day. We are most grateful and they will definitely see us for future dinners to come.

Excellent food and service! The views are fantastic and as we were finishing dinner, live music started and it was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Taverna Opa was delicious! Our server was excellent- attentive without being annoying. And he was very pleasant and friendly. We shared a few dishes and the portions were quite large. Overall, a great experience.

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.

My girlfriend and I had a very nice night here. The carnitas tacos were absolutely delicious. The house made guacamole is a must. The tequila selection is incredible. We will definitely return.
