    Amazing food and service. We visited 3 times on a holiday from Toronto, and had great food and service every time. Things the gem of Fort Lauderdale. The only improvement would be the noise level on Saturday night on the patio- music was quite loud and made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise fantastic, thanks 3S!!!

    It was my first time there and not my last! We were greeted by Makayla, who was amazingly accommodating as I called to change my reservation twice. Given the option of outside or inside, both had a lovely and live energy. We were seated inside, and our Server Enrique was astonishing. From the beginning to getting to know us, to the end with us hugging as if we knew each other for years. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the whole menu. 10 out of 10 MUST RECOMMEND Lychee Martini, Waygu Sliders, Crab Cake, Whipped Potatoes, Bacon Mac and Cheese, Chicken Entree, Box of cookies. The restaurant manager John was extremely friendly and gave us a great recommendation. If you get the box of cookies, get a side of cookies and cream with it and eat it together. AMAZING!!! Okay, I know I wrote a novel, but it was worth it. Our experience was wonderful. We enjoyed ourselves from the staff, the ambiance, to the food.

    The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.
