We have enjoyed breakfast twice at the cafe. This was our first dinner. We arrived early and our server, Greg, was very accommodating and welcoming. He explained the specials and gave us all the time we needed to relax, enjoy a glass of wine before ordering. Now the food. We started with the lobster bruschetta and grilled octopus. Absolutely the best ever! We then had the fish of the day, Red Snapper. The entree was prepared wonderfully. The flavors perfectly married together. This is a place ya gotta try! You won’t be disappointed!!!!!

We love American Tapas. Alway delicious food and the service is wonderful. Emily took care of us this last time. Thank you, Emily! We love the live music and the atmosphere. For some reason this fell out of our rotation, but happy to report it is back in! The shrimp and grits never disapoints. Love the bacon wrapped dates as well. We ordered a second small plate of the octopus too.

We had a wonderful experience at S3! We were celebrating three family birthdays and our wedding anniversary. Our wait service was outstanding and the manager went out of her way to acknowledge our family's celebrations. The sushi and steak, as well as the craft cocktails were excellent!

Sunnes was recommended by a friend so I decided to take my wife for date night. As the old saying goes "don't judge a book by its cover" in this case its true. When I parked in the rear parking lot I never expected to find such a beautiful space inside. From the moment we were greeted by the hostess until we sat down I was really impressed with the service and ambiance. The decor is modern and upscale. Our waitress Jaymee was beyond amazing. Once we told her it was our first time visiting the restaurant she took her time to explain the menu and took her time to answer any questions we had. She was probably one of the best servers we have had in all of south Florida. The service was 10/10 by all. Then the food! My wife started with the Caviar and Onion Dip. The presentation was absolutely beautiful. We shared the Parker rolls they were warm and fluffy and the honey butter added to the taste. I had the Arugula Red Pear salad and it was amazing. For our main course I had the Wagu Skirt Steak. The serving was so large I had left overs. It was absolutely melt in your mouth good. My wife had the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and she loved it. And we finished with the Chocolate Cake which was also so large we had left overs. As far as cocktails I ordered the Lemon Drop Martini and it was so good I had more than 1. Before we left the Manager Mat came by the table more than once to make sure everything was to our liking. He was extremely friendly and made us feel like family. I even told the staff that I hadn't even paid the bill and I wanted to come back already. The restaurant was that amazing. Before leaving we wanted to visit the speakeasy that is upstairs however Matt informed us it wasn't open on Sunday's. He could have left it at that but instead he took us upstairs for a private tour and told us the background and history of the building. The story is amazing and we felt fortunate to have had the chance to have heard it from Mat who told it enthusiastically.

The venue is as nice as it gets in Fort Lauderdale. The service is outstanding. We were a party of three and split a broiled seafood platter as an appetizer (fantastic), a beets salad and two entrees. All perfectly prepared. Noise level was low enough to easily converse. Del Mar checks all the boxes.
