Best Restaurants for Birthdays in River Oaks

From the perspective of a Montrealer spoiled by good food at reasonable prices, a lot of midmarket restaurants in the US are not worth it. This one is. Food and service were very good, and beverage prices are reasonable.

Was amazing as always!!! Great celebration for my son’s 21st birthday!

Takato never disappoints. Food and staff were amazing. We had lamb chops,sea bass, kimchi fried rice, shrimp fried rice, California roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail sashimi, machine, chocolate lava cake, specialty martini, cosmo, and a spicy margarita. Everything was amazing. The only bad part is this place seems to attract screaming kids with entitled parents with no regard and don't do anything. Not that the restaurant can help that but it is frustrating and definitely has an effect on the ambiance. Regardless, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale with amazing sushi and so much more.

We went for my friend’s birthday lunch. She choose Vooper’s Hawk as she loved it when we went once before for lunch. We started off with the goat cheese and grilled vegetable flatbread. It was delicious! We shared that. Then we each ordered the wedge salad. It was fantastic. For dessert i let her choose. She chose a s’mores dessert. It was layered. And TGS top was a gooey browned marshmallow topping. So yummy. Our server Marc R was fabulous. He got everything right. We never had to look for him. Highly recommend.

Literally a perfect meal. Our reservation was honored on a busy Christmas Eve night. Our server was kind, professional, and especially understanding that we don’t drink. I always make up for this in the tip. Calamari app was so tender and loved the Asian inspired sauce. Crab cake is literally perfect and HUGE! We ordered a large Ribeye and it was served perfectly medium rare. Wow! Only two of us and we wanted the cheesy potatoes and the crab fried rice, the server offered to make a half portion of each. So glad we had both! They weee so delicious. Finished with their chocolate lava cake with such high quality chocolate and homemade vanilla whipped cream and ice cream. Honestly, it’s not often from start to finish to have a perfect meal and they make it look easy at Eddie V’s. Even their bread service with salted butter melted in our mouths. Yes, it’s expensive, but I would go here every time because you know how consistent it is.
