   Loved the ambience/setting of the restaurant. It’s right by the intracoastal so make sure you sit outside if the weather is good! Food was decent but not the best Mediterranean food I’ve had. Thought the taste of some appetizers were a bit off (falafel and grilled halloumi). The lamb kafta was so much better than the chicken skewers (not as flavorful). Also, ordered the cauliflower, I liked it. Wine was great! If I ever came back, would most likely just come for the view not food.

   Outdoor experience was closed due to weather, but was actually due to being shortstaffed. He was very kind and accommodating, and put us outside in a bar area, but being that it was connected to a hotel with lots of families and young children we had the hostess move us a couple of tables over to be able to enjoy dinner. White staff came to us just after we had our waters poured and said this was not the area of the manager approved and we would have to move back where we were and didn’t want to be, so we moved inside and ate dinner

   Had the worst restaurant experience in Fort Lauderdale. The service was terrible, none of the servers and managers knew what was going on. The manager was no help. I would never go back and do not recommend this place

   Slow service. A few items were incorrect. 2 appetizers were out of stock on the menu. Lamb skewers were over cooked. Have eaten here several times and it’s been great but this time was not. Hopefully it’s a one off situation.

   Foremost the view is exquisite. Several 200 foot yatch docked. Food is good. Chicken skewer tasty as well as the snapper. Sweet potato fries always a favorite.

   We just celebrated my mothers 88th birthday at the restaurant. Making the reservations was easy and I received at least three reminders. The restaurant is in the second floor of the hotel, and even though it overlooks the intercoastal, there is not much of a view, which is a shame. There is a long bar and multiple tables spread around. Our waiter was very nice but somewhat disorganized. I wish I could tell you how the old-fashioned tastes like but I never received my order. The food was exceptional especially if you like Israeli Mediterranean food. The Shawarma hamburger was delicious with wonderful sauces. My wife had the Bronzino and she loved it. Many people shared the skewers and were delighted. A small bread pudding cake was given to my mother with a candle which she appreciated. Overall, the food was excellent, but the service left some to be desired. I would definitely return for that delicious hamburger.

    Nice view of the intracoastal. We did eat outside but unfortunately it started pouring about halfway through. The stylish pergola does not close so we had to run inside and eat at the bar. Luckily we found seats. Our service was excellent and our waiter made sure everything made it to where we were. Pretty loud inside and of course a bit more romantic outside. Definitely recommend if you like Mediterranean food.
