What a cute spot in Parkland! Dear Olivia has a large and versatile menu, along with cocktails and…read morewine options. There is plenty of parking in a charming plaza, and the restaurant sits right on the lake with beautiful fountain and water views. The restaurant itself is very nice, with great lighting, cute tables that each include their own personal TV, a stylish bar area, and plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Our server was great. I believe his name was Felipe or Philip. The food was also very good. Chips and Guac: Thin, crispy chips that were not overly salted. The guacamole was fantastic, with fresh pico mixed in and a true guacamole taste, not just mashed avocado. Pomegranate Chicken: My friend ordered this and loved it. It was served over couscous with a dipping sauce on the side. All of the flavors worked really well together. Steak Tips: Cooked perfectly and served with a salad. My other friend really enjoyed this dish. The meat was tender and flavorful. Kids Meal: Not pictured, but the chicken tenders came with fries. The chicken was grilled, which I thought was a great option. The fries were a hit with both the toddler and mom, who happily snacked on them too. I had a glass of Pessimist wine after asking for a recommendation for something slightly sweeter. It was the bartender's suggestion. It was just okay for me. I did not find it sweet, but compared to a drier red, it was definitely smoother and softer in taste. We really enjoyed our visit and spent some time walking around outside afterward. Such a cute spot, and we would definitely return.

The bowl looks bigger than it actually is- it's not that deep just a wide bowl. The ahi tuna bowl was soooo good. Not too spicy just brought the perfect kick and heat. The new seasonal slushee drink was soooooo good. It makes me want to go to a tropical island and drink 6 of them lol. Really nice vibe there. At the end of our meal the server did get a little slow on service but its fine she was still very nice.

Quick update on Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. I just got off the phone with the GM, James. Good…read moreconversation, and he's a genuinely solid guy. We walked through the review, and one thing became clear pretty quickly. The feta wasn't a mistake. It's part of how they build the dish. It's actually tied into their queso blanco and shows up as part of the garnish. The issue is that it's not listed anywhere in the menu description, and I made sure to point that out. To his credit, he said he'd take that back to the team. As for the rest of it, what I reviewed is what they're serving. No changes planned right now. If they ever DO make any changes, I'll be happy to re-review. He did offer a gift card, which I appreciated, but Florida Nacho Man doesn't take comps. The review stands.

My friend took me to this place for a quick lunch bite…read more I know this place originated in New York which has a very different demographic. The place is kind of hard, to put together thematically. I get the Miami color scheme but the layout was kind of weird with a bar on the side and a lot of kids drawings on the whole left side of the wall. Prices were "okay" a single party is $7 but if you add cheese and some onions it's $10 which is kind of a large up charge for two things. The cheese is vegan since this is a kosher burger joint. The food was okay, the burger lacked a lot of the depth that I expected from a smash burger. It was just a regular burger, kind of bland. The fried Onions were "okay" too, it felt like they didn't bring the oil to temperature before dropping it in so they were soggy and oily. The service I got was good though, the girl explained everything and was really nice. I did leave a tip even though I honestly don't think they should be asking for tips for a place where you have to clean up after yourself and all they did was bring it out. Which is Panera bread level of service.

Although it has a beautiful menu of wines and spirits, we stuck to their filtered water, and asked KC for any recommendations for lunch. He was very engaging, a wonderful communicator, and we made our selections which started with the bacon wrapped dates (YUM). Prior to my order, I mentioned a dietary restriction and KC promptly went to the kitchen to make an inquiry. I ordered the trout with lentil ragout, and my husband ordered a margarita pizza. The atmosphere was very peaceful, with unintrusive music, and we really did enjoy getting to know KC as he made sure that we were satisfied with every plate. This restaurant is upscale, yet with value pricing. Altogether, my husband and I encourage you to enjoy a lovely meal, and make sure to ask for KC! You won't be disappointed!

We stopped in a few days ago for dinner. Our expectations were pretty high considering how great…read moreour last meal was. We were seated promptly and the staff was very friendly. Also loved the atmosphere once again, it's just a very nice, open place to enjoy a meal and have a drink. We got a bunch of appetizers to start. The house made Ricotta with cracked pepper and olive oil was very delicious. I also loved the crispy zucchini slices, which were topped with peppadew peppers and a chili vinaigrette. Outstanding stuff. The seared ahi tuna was next level. The fish was fresh and beautifully seated and the mix of cucumber, aji amarillo, pineapple, cilantro and wasabi cream was sensational. One of the best dishes they make at Sixty Vines. The absolute best of the bunch was the truffle fries! They were amazing. They are basically crispy layered potatoes, almost like stacks of filo dough, fried and topped with pecorino, chives and lemon truffle cream. They were so good we ordered a second one! Considering how wonderful everything was to this point, we were expecting nothing but great things for the next course. However they completely dropped the ball and basically ruined our meal with lackluster entrees. Our party ordered the steak fries with chimichurri sauce, the double cabrenet burger, and several filet mignons. The amount of time it took to get the food was unreasonable. Once the appetizers were finished we had to wait somewhere around 20 to 25 minutes to get our mains, and the place was not that busy. I assume that the waitress just forgot or was busy with something else. As for the food, the quality of the steaks was not good all around. Everybody who got the filet mignon commented that the texture was chalky and weird. They were also all overcooked. And oddly, they decided to slice the steak before serving it, so it was very dry. Why would you pre slice a steak, all that's going to do is let the juices seep out and make the temperature drop. I honestly don't get it. The steak that came with the steak fries, I think it was a skirt steak, was also not the best cut. It was super fatty and a little chewy. The fries were good though but the meat was terrible. Finally the burger was completely overdone despite the person ordering it medium rare. Overall, not the best ending to a meal that started with such amazing dishes. Really striking contrast. And actually it made me think that I probably will not go back to Sixty Vines anytime soon. For a $350 meal they have to be doing a lot better. Dried out, overcooked steaks and burgers isn't going to cut it.

All of their beef comes from top-tier Allen Brothers, and while I'm a big fan of the Maxx Burger, I went with their new Prime Burger this time... excellent. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The inside looked very spacious and I did walk through for the restroom. They had two dedicated bar tenders working the event so the line for drinks never got too long. The staff kept the area clean and never let an empty glass or bottle linger on a table for long. The food they provided was good too. They only had appetizers for the event. Poke l spoons, turkey with pesto half sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, and pork sliders. They were all generous portions and actually filled me up to the point where I wasn't hungry. It was a very night place to attend an event. I would definitely host something here if given the opportunity. I would also come back to hang at the bar or grab dinner.

Cafe Landwer's storied history and commitment to quality is exactly the kind of place I'm drawn to…read more And while I genuinely enjoyed the food, I don't see myself returning. Why? The experience just didn't come together. There was a bit of an attitude on arrival -- even with a reservation -- which set the wrong tone. From there, the service felt frenetic, with repeated warnings about kitchen delays, and the very loud atmosphere made for an overall uncomfortable evening. Dining is about more than just the food, and I was surprised that a place promoting its European roots didn't deliver the level of service and hospitality typically associated with that tradition. That said, the food was excellent and the pricing very fair. We had the Chicken Shawarma Hummus Bowl with pita, Chopped Salad, Kebab (the only dish I wasn't wild about), Pesto Burrata Pizza, and Landwer's Famous Schnitzel entrée -- a strong lineup overall. A real shame, because this place has the potential to be great.

Food: generally good, not great Service: fairly bad, not…read moreterrible Smoked eggplant was very good after a small dash of salt. It was very tender, came with a fresh, minced tomato salad, and served split, whole. Pita was good, hot, fresh, soft and fluffy inside with a light exterior crisp. Chicken schwarma dinner with rice is tender and flavorful. Short rib hummus was OK. The hummus is nice and velvety, but the short ribs could've used more seasoning and was dry and hard around the edges. The chicken made a better pairing. Service was slow and lacking. We were seated quickly, but it took a while for a waiter to come. After being seated just past 7pm, our appetizer arrived 20+ minutes after ordering, and entrees didn't come until 8pm. Nearby empty tables went unwiped for most of our stay, and it was off-putting to watch staff only partially clean them while handling the tops of salt and pepper shakers with unclean hands. I was not surprised to see health violations listed here afterwards. The experience worsened with dessert. Our Basque cheesecake came with a thick layer of chocolate instead of the berry coulis listed on the menu. When I mentioned the discrepancy so he could inform future guests, the waiter repeatedly suggested I speak to the manager, despite me saying it wasn't necessary. His tone wasn't kind, and it felt dismissive--especially since he had served the dish and could clearly see the difference. We will not be returning nor recommending.

There was valet a lot of free parking in front of the restaurant. This was a real happening, the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. I'm glad our reservation was honored and we only waited for about five minutes. The restaurant was noisy, but fortunately the tables were spaced so we were not on top of each other. In 1971 J. Alexander opened in Nashville, Tennessee. There are 44 restaurants, mostly in the south, with 2,700 employees. They are considered a casual American food chain offering gift cards & VIP membership. Friends love their salads and with seven choices some with shrimp Louie or Asian tuna, what could be bad? The sandwiches, soups, burgers, sandwiches, steaks & house specialties look appealing. There is an extensive wine list, with many by the glass along with crafted martinis & cocktails. Joshua waited on us, he was on point. We started by sharing a delicious calamari appetizer that was enough for four of us. The calamari was fresh crispy and tasty. I shared baby back ribs with a huge baked potato and delicious coleslaw with my husband, it was more than enough for the two of us. Friends enjoyed their huge salads, they looked very good and they raved about them. The portions were very generous and prices were reasonable for the quality of our meal. I can't wait to go back again. We've got a new favorite local restaurant!

I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken ($9.99 additional) and it arrived with no chicken! Last night I ordered a French Dip sandwich with horseradish and a dip and a loaded potato. The Sandwich arrived with no dip and no horseradish. The potato came with no toppings. Very disappointing especially because what I love about this restaurant is its consistency. I spoke with a manager after the first delivery and she was very understanding. She told me that I would receive something in the mail to make up for the missing chicken. Nothing ever came. I will still go back to the restaurant because I love it, but this will make me hesitate before ordering with Door Dash again. Whoever takes care of the delivery meals has to get his/her act together.

First time here…read more Ambiance was great especially since it was cold outside. We sat at the bar and service was great ! We started with the chicken lettuce wraps, which we loved. I got the Wagyu beef noodle bowl . It was delicious, but I had no idea it was gonna be spicy and I'm super sensitive to spice. Couldn't eat it all because my mouth was burning. But I'm weak when it comes to spicy food so don't base the spice level off me. On Mondays, they do five dollars off burgers, so the Boyfriend got the big smash and loved it. I stole a bite, it was good! Always really liked the fries. Altogether, we are definitely coming back to try other things!

As a matter of fact, the entire staff was amazing and attentive. Ambience as nice and the food was special Each dish was better than the one before. The menus is creative inspired Indian with some Asian fusion mixed in. A little something for everyone. We ordered 2 entrees. The Wood Grilled Spanish Octopus and the Chicken Masala. We were sharing both and started with the Octopus. It was so tender and served on top of crispy potato and with a green apple nuoc cham - a vibrant tart dipping sauce. They had me here, it was so good. The the Chicken Masala came out. This was one of the best Chicken Tikka dishes, I've had. Not too spicy and so flavorful. I was so impressed. Not only was the food and service on point, but the next morning I got an email from the restaurant thanking me for dining. Now thats excellent customer service. A fabulous addition to Mid-Boca and I can't wait to go back.
