Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Imperial Point

It was a a cool evening to dine outdoors but with the portable gas fire torches, my wife and I were comfortable. We were only looking for a light bite so my wife ordered the edamame and a California roll. I ordered Miso soup and a sampling of nigiri. The edamame was fresh with a light snap when biting and perfectly, lightly salted. The Miso broth was hot and hearty. Perfect on this cool Florida night. She told me she loved her California roll and I thought my nigiri was delicious. Dock fresh with brilliant colors. I chose the tuna, yellowtail and golden eye snapper. I'd order the same thing again in a heartbeat, but there were so many other items I'd like to try next time. She ordered a glass of champaign (by the glass) and didn't particularly care for it. Too dry she said. I chose a drink that is their spin on an old fashioned. (I forget the name) but it had ginger in it and it was delicious. Small side note, the brand of still water they serve is Mountain Valley. You don't see this brand very often but it was fantastic. So refreshing and crisp mouthfeel. I LOVE Acgua Panna and keep it at home but I may switch it up and try this brand of spring water if I ever see it in a store or online. We had a great experience at Takato and look forward to our next time here.

The ambiance and everything about this restaurant is top tier. I also got the pleasure to meet Shaq! Our waiter was super amazing. I will definitely travel the 1 hour and a half again.

We love this restaurant that looks to be a hole-in-the-wall, but is actually one of the most elegant and high end restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. The atmosphere is sophisticated with Italian charm, the staff is classy and so knowledgeable, and the food always exceeds expectations. The clientele is posh as well and there is a wine list suited for everyone. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the daily specials that somehow always hit the mark. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

Loved their perfect Caesar Salad starter, we shared it to allow room for dessert. Had the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly and so very flavorful. The steak was accompanied by mashed potatoes that were perfect texture and temperature. Crème Brule and cappuccino to end the meal were perfect.

Definitely will go back. Food was good atmosphere was good. Absolutely loved that place.
