    Fabulous location, beautiful decor, exceptional menu and a service team that was all about getting to “yes!” My husband had a stroke 11 years ago and restaurant music that’s too loud is uncomfortable for him…we asked if the music could be lowered and they accommodated. We will be back for brunch!

    Everything was as amazing as we remembered from the last time many years ago when we were there on a visit to Fort Lauderdale. I only wish we had gone during the day when we could have enjoyed the view. The Christmas decorations in the main room were magical. The staff was helpful and our server, Heather, was especially kind and efficient. The food was delicious and delivered promptly. No complains at all. We look forward to our next visit.
