Marti’s is a hit or miss kind if restaurant. Sometimes it’s great. Sometimes it’s not. This visit it was not. Appetizer of chicken satay was very fatty and the peanut sauce lacking flavor. Mahi mahi was drastically over cooked and the desserts were just ok. The setting is great and the ease of dining before a show is really the only reason I return.

Our waiter Joseph was fabulous. It was extremely busy, pre theatre. Very busy. Food was good, but I felt the noise level was quite high and hard to have a conversation at the table.

$30.00 to share a plate ridiculous. Just a prefix menu too much food for older people. You can go to the bar and order appetizers, but you can't order an entrée Ludacris. We were looking for having dinner there, but it was just a big disappointment.

Was good as usual but the new sous chef decided that having to saw ones way through a Caesar salad lettuce bunch wrapped with a cucumber slice was worth the visual presentation. Not.

Too bad Marti's is so less than average as it would be great to have a good option when attending Broward performances. It just feels to me like an airport restaurant, situated on the water yet the views and outside dining not maximized. Food beyond average. We tried the chicken skewers which were fatty dark meat that was inedible, soaked in a heavy peanut sauce. The calamari seemed frozen and so breaded that the fish disappeared...the texture was just fried batter. A big disappointment.

My daughter and I dined here before a show at the theater. We had the best service from Samuel. The food was not only beautiful in presentation but so delicious! If we’re in town again we will definitely eat here. The view is gorgeous. It was not crowded at all so very quiet.
