    On previous visits, we have very much enjoyed the atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food at big city Tavern. Unfortunately, this was not the experience we had when we went there this past Saturday 12-21-24. There were several large, very, very unnecessarily loud parties seated next to us and management made no effort to ask them to keep their noise to a reasonable level out of respect for other patrons. On top of that service was exceedingly slow and unattended, and the food was mediocre at best. We were very disappointed as we were looking forward to a wonderful pre-holiday lunch. Probably will not go back for a while .

    The food runner gave our appetizer to another table delaying ours. Waiter Tried to give a bogus reason as to why it happened. The food runner brought out the appetizer again and again went to the same other table. Waiter was not on top of it. Delayed everything else. Got a sorry..

    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.

    Overall, it was a good experience. We had the yellowtail snapper, the Big City Tavern salad and the Asian Calamari as an appetizer. All were excellent. The only snafu was that the salad came to the table after the main course was served. The waiter blamed it on a computer glitch and comped the salad, which was very good...glad we did not send it back and ate European style!
