    Unique decor - different theme in every space, but each one fanciful and inviting. We sat in the swing room with a beautiful view of the river (but someone please clean those windows to fully maximize the views!) Food was very tasty with large portions - location and portion size justified the slightly pricey menu. Very friendly service. PERFECT after seeing a matinee at the Broward - a pleasant five minute walk along the river from the theater.

    We loved this hidden gem. We always stay at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort and just found this authentic Italian restaurant. We felt like we were in Italy. The lasagna was the best ever!

    Our waitperson was attentive and had excellent suggestions! The food was amazing! The escargots was the best I have ever had! The grouper was good! The rack of lamb was great! The potato and green beans were amazing as well! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great French dinner experience.

    Casual for The Four Seasons but only 1 server when there so service a bit slow. It is a nice space but transited by hotel guests to get outside. Nice spot to stop for a snack or drinks just don’t be in a rush.
