Best Casual Restaurants in Oakland Park

We have been to Truluck’s before and had a great experience with Maria as our server. We requested Maria again, but she was not working. We were advised by the GM that he would seat us with another server that would provide a great dining experience. It was our son’s 19th birthday (noted on the reservation). We were seated at a window table with a view of the beach, a little birthday confetti, and card on the table at the place setting where our son was seated. Patricia was our server. Mike (GM) did a great job pairing her with us - She did provide excellent service!! We started with a seafood plate including shrimp cocktail, oysters, and stone crab claws. This was served with a trio of condiments, including a mustard sauce, minionette, and horseradish. The platter was smoking from dry ice, it was a great presentation. I had the wedge salad, no bacon, added red onion. Patricia took a table picture before the sky was dark with the smoking seafood platter. For entrees, we ordered the Blue crab stuffed lobster tails (2 Petit main lobster tails stuffed with crab cake), with mashed potato, asparagus, and a small cup (~ 1-2 oz) of lobster bisque to drizzle over the tails. My husband had the miso glazed sea bass over crab fried rice. A nice size piece of fish over rice and topped with a light cucumber slaw. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese (plant based sausage and meatballs in a tomato sauce with cashew ricotta over pappardelle pasta). Chefs kiss for this vegan entree! Trulucks did a great job creating a hearty, flavorful and well seasoned vegan entree!! Desserts — Our birthday boy was then presented with a a beautiful Baked Alaska. We also had carrot cake topped with caramel sauce and pecans, and a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese/peppermint icing topped with hot fudge sauce. The service manager, Titus, came by to introduce himself, thank us for dining at Trulucks, and wish our son a HBD. Class. Another successful dining experience - Thank you!

Impressed!!! Busy restaurant that delivers great food and service. It was busy holiday night ( we were told one of their busiest nights of the year) and you saw perfect execution from the complimentary valet, to the women who greeted/seated us. Waiter and bussers were dancing throughout the restaurant with purpose and ease. Our waiter, Hector knows his menu and was attentive, personable and cheerful. ( I was impressed with other waitstaff nearby. ) An expertly trained team. The food was sublime. Every ingredient balanced with nuance.We tarted with rock shrimp appetizer and the Cacio & pepe with lobster — so delicious. We ordered the specials- stuffed pork chop and I had osso buco. I had to have the Italian ricotta cheesecake with mascarpone. Our compliments to the chef.Outstanding!!!!! It is worth repeating that even on their busiest night , every detail from service to food was perfectly executed, We will be back!!!!

Christmas dinner at Mastro’s was fantastic. The food, as always is amazing…perfectly seasoned and presented. They serve love on a plate at Mastro’s! The staff is always warm and welcoming when I return. Preston, the manager stopped by the table to insure everything was satisfactory. David & Steve were very gracious in greeting us. Stefan provided excellent service throughout the evening. It is a pleasurable experience dining at Mastro’s each and every time. I can’t wait to return!

Our first time dining at Camille's and it was excellent , it was christmas eve and along with regular menu there were fish specials. Our server was Nick , cheerful, knowledgeable what a treat. Had baked clams, burrata salad, mussels Entrée shrimp scampi, Octopus , linguine with clams and chicken parm , not like the usual, thicker cutlet with a not too sweet sauce. Try this place, totally renovated and full bar

Great lunch experience over the holiday. Food and drinks were excellent and the staff professional and friendly. We will return for sure.
