    A beautiful restaurant with the most delicious, fresh Mediterranean fare. My second time in a week. This is how we were all meant to eat! The lobster is amazing, but absolutely start off with their hummus and homemade chips and okra strips. Love everything about this place, especially James, our waiter. :) He is so polite, and a great sense of humor. A great start to a fun night w amazing friends♥️

    We were visiting my son in Ft Lauderdale. We had our dog with us and were able to sit on the patio. The food and service was excellent. Generous portions and was able to take food home. This was our second time visiting Padrino’s. We will be back again on our next visit.

    Not bad if you go early in terms of noise but unfortunately at about 7:30 the music starts getting turned up and the lights turned down. We sat outside and we had good service, and the flatbreads were good.
