We had a fabulous experience all around. My group of 4 showed up tired and wet from all the crazy rain. But, we left energized and laughing due to the delicious food, beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. The highlight though, was meeting our server Pal. She treated us like family and went above and beyond to create a great memory for our last dinner on our vacation. Another thing that stood out was that every staff member we met showed pride in their restaurant. They told us about the chef, the dishes and the decor as if they owned it themselves. We can't wait to go back next time we are in Fort Lauderdale. Highly recommend!
