Restaurants near Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Inn

We had the best meal we’ve had in a long time - especially for the value it was. 10/10 recommend when here in Fort Lauderdale!!!

Always very good, excellent service. this time the noise level was very agreable.

The food and atmosphere were great. The cocktails were made well. The waitress Mia was amazing. Friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. Very enjoyable experience.

Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.

We love Bistro Mezzaluna! The service and food are excellent, whenever we dine there. Last night they had Prime Rib as the special, so we bought ordered it. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I had a glass of Beringer Cabernet. The price was reasonable compared to other fine dining restaurants in Ft Lauderdale. They have live music in the bar area. Usually a piano player. We sat in the dining room. I highly recommend Bistro Mezzaluna!
