    Needs to be more servers working the outside patio. Our server barely visited our table and food and drinks took forever to come out. Drinks were never refilled, had to wave down bussers and food runners for everything because server was nowhere to be found. She maybe visited our table 3 times in the 2 hours we were there. Table next to us had no food or drinks or server a whole hour into us being there. Good food and ambiance but the service completely ruined the entire dinner.

    Service was great at the bar and the table. Richard’s food recommendations were on point and absolutely everything was delicious. I can’t remember the last time I had such an excellent meal. 10/10 would come back.

    We started with the hamachi ceviche ($19) and red shrimp arguachile ($18). Both were good and a sizable portion. The shrimp and crab enchilada ($25) and branzino ($32) were our entrees. The branzino was a large portion and quite tasty. The enchilada was properly made but not the most tasty. The atmosphere was fine and the service was quick and efficient.

    Who ordered lobster quesadillas-which really looked like a burrito and had a generous portion of lobster. We also ordered the Mexican chopped salad, which was also good. We loved the location overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beach and people watching entertainment.
