    It was in a real happening spot in Fort Lauderdale and I felt safe and comfortable in this area. The restaurant had a nice friendly atmosphere to it as well as an upscale feel. The food and drinks were awesome.

    The food took forever and was almost inedible. Do not go here for the food. The only person who was happy was the one who ordered a salad. Should have realized it when the restaurant was empty.

    Menus handed by hostess were covered with food grease. The waiter tried his best but service was slow and inconsistent. Appetizers were greasy. Blackened mahi sandwich was bland. Men’s restroom was absolutely disgusting. I’ve been in the restaurant in the past and the food was usually good and the service fairly decent. This latest visit was just the worst.
