    This place is normally 5s across the board, the lower than normal rating was because it was Valentine’s Day, the restaurant was packed, very noisy and very rushed.

    Food was great, but the staff and vibe make you feel like it is your privilege to be there and they are doing you a favor. We were told right away that we only had an hour and a half even though they opened late and seated us 10 minutes after our reservation. Not a huge deal since it was Valentine’s Day, but maybe a hello and an offer for water or a cocktail should be the first thing the server says to you instead of “hurry up so we can move on from you”. No food is worth that. There are plenty of places in Ft. Lauderdale that have the same quality food at that price point or even lower. We are very low maintenance customers who dine out a lot. I don’t see the hype in this place. First and last time I’ll be there.

    ALWAYS THE BEST, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. STEVE PUTS OUT QUALITY FOOD YOU CANNOT GET ANYWHERE ELSE. YES IT CAN GET A LITTLE LOUD, THE SERVERS CAN RUSH YOU OUT AFTER TWO HOURS, AND IT IS A LITTLE EXPENSIVE. BUT REMEMBER ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD STUPID, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD!
