What better way to spend pre-theatre? Beautiful river views, friendly staff and delicious 3-course meal. The Calamari to start and Steak Diane are noteworthy. Not our first time and not our last as loyal locals.

This restaurant is a gem. Every time we visit Ft. Lauderdale we make our reservations for Martis. The food is excellent, the price fixe is unbeatable and the service is fantastic. Tonight we were fortunate to be served by Danny, a young lady who has joy and happiness oozing out of every pore. You can tell that she truly loves doing what she does, which made it the phenomenal experience that it was. 3 cheers for Patti's River Bistro!!!!!

Restaurant is ok. Food is ok. The price is a bit high for the quality level. The best part about it is the convenient location at the Broward Center. I wouldn’t rush back.

First time eating at this restaurant would definitely go back anytime I go and see a show at the Broward center. We parked early had a beautiful dinner restrooms inside the restaurant and then we walked over to the show couldn't ask for anything better. The food was excellent selection wonderful service was great. Next time will request a table by the window to watch the votes go by.
