They have a great variety of cocktails to choose from and some bites as well if you're feeling hungry. I went with the red eye espresso martini and it was amazing. It tasted like chocolate! The combo of Licor 43 and espresso is delish! Highly recommend. It was a Sunday night so there wasn't too many people, but the bartender did tell us they play live music on Fridays and Saturdays and that is when there is a bigger crowd. We will be going back soon!

Advertising a pre packaged mini cheese cake as a fruit tart and charging $18 for it is egregious a lot of fancy words for something that was not tasty.

I started with a martini which was delicious and made to perfection. The escargot was amazing, soft and melted in your mouth, the best thing I had during my visit to the area for a long weekend.

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

If you…read morepicture Trader Vic's crossed with Amsterdam hippy bar, you get the idea. 5-star beverages: Just about every combination of kava, kratom, etc that you can mix in a drink is available here. There are even CBD "shots" available. I was in need of the opposite of these calm-down beverages, and ordered a cold-brew coffee (the bartender got a laugh out of that). My local client took me by this place, and raved about the kava-related options. Neither of us is into hookah, but the other customers raved about that. 5-star service: aside from the funny personable staffer, the patrons were also sweet-natured regulars. They all seemed to know one another well, and welcomed us like old pals. The legal natural sedative qualities of many of their beverages meant a lot of the conversation was about flying cars and reincarnation LOL. 5-star ambience: Outside it's a little bit forlorn strip mall, a little bit dive bar. Inside, the funky hipster aspect more than makes up for the exterior. There's sort of a beat-up Polynesian bar theme, complete with Ikea paper lanterns. Parking is available right out front and on the back side of the block as well.

Awesome music (artists that debuted in this century? In wilton manors?? Amazing!) that isn't played so loudly you can't hear yourself think, and friendly bartenders that genuinely seem like they like to be there! Plus the seating is arranged in a way that doesn't feel exclusive, like you can still mingle with the crowd and not feel like you're "intruding" on their private table. I've only been during happy hour so far, so I haven't seen any of the performances. But I do like this place enough I want to come back and see them! The only thing keeping me from five stars is a bit of a weak pour. Stronger than the average straight bar, but No Manors IS on Wilton Drive after all- I can get an almost clear rum and juice two doors down for the same price. Once their bartenders learn the "Wilton Pour" this place might become one of my favorite on the drive! And lord knows if they don't figure it out, they won't be here long.
