Colee Hammock Restaurants

Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.

Beautiful garden, excellent service, lovely menu, very tasty huge portions. Inside is quite loud, not good for children or elders who might be more sensitive. Overall, love it here...

A great spot with great atmosphere. We don’t live in Florida, but anytime we are here for vacation, we make sure to stop in for a meal at Rocco’s. Don’t forget the Tres Leches for dessert…….you will not be disappointed.

We had Sean and he was so attentive! He was the best server! He made our dining experience wonderful! The hamburger was cooked perfectly!

Natalie provided us with amazing service. Above and beyond our expectations.
