Our flight back to Philly was canceled due to weather prompting an unplanned stay at the Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale airport hotel. The only onsite option for dinner was Kiki's and they delivered, so despite my misgivings about the overall three star rating, we ordered the avocado salad and added chicken. Just on the basis of the avocado salad, I'd give Kiki's a 4.5 as the salad was very good and it came with a lot of avocado slices and the chicken strips on top were plentiful and perfectly cooked. we didn't try anything else though, but I would recommend if you're stuck at the Crowne Plaza and want a good salad, give Kiki's avocado salad a try and you won't be disappointed! read more

My husband and I decided to dine here last night and this morning. Kiki's is a really great restaurant. They sale breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is delicious and reasonable. If you are staying at the Crown Plaza hotel, your breakfast is free of charge. The restaurant has a buffet breakfast with lots to choose from. We will be back soon. read more

Obnoxious. Save your money and go somewhere else. Anywhere else. The view is awesome. The music is so loud you can't hear your waiter. Only one high alcohol beer in stock. It was truly awful. read more

My family and I really enjoyed Kiki's! We initially set out to find a restaurant outside of staying at the Crowne but other visitors AND employees highly recommended we should give them a try. They didn't disappoint! All family members enjoyed their dishes! Blue, our waiter, didn't miss on his recommendations, also very polite ~ that was a huge plus for us!! Nice setting! We are adding this to our favorites to visit whenever we're in town. read more

Kiki's is a hidden gem inside the Crown plaza hotel in Fort Lauderdale. I stayed in the hotel two nights ate breakfast and dinner at Kiki's, the food is delicious. Also the service is amazing. Our waiter Willie was the best in service and personality, he made both our dinners perfect. I personally recommend Kiki's for people staying in the hotel, for locals. read more

Willy the waiter was AWESOME.Friendly, professional and a good waiter! The other short bald guy not friendly and doesn't smile or greet. Food was great, quesadilla and enchilada plate was good! Pricey though! Breakfast buffet delicious! Great price and all the waitresses were great. Very convenient for those of us without vehicles here for cruise port read more

The Bartender Andres, was excellent. The food was great. Crowne Plaza doesn't deserve this guy. Hire him and enhance your business.

I'm leaving a review because of all the negative reviews. Not everything they said was wrong, but this is definitely not a 1-2 star venue. Yes, they start by giving you a reheated frozen dinner roll. Not sure why. Yes, it's a bit confusing that a Mexican branded restaurant has more American fare than Mexican. Now, we ordered chicken fajitas and chicken Alfredo. Both were very clearly made at the restaurant. Someone commented their food was like a frozen dinner, not our experience. I have had better fajitas and Alfredo, but they were still good. They didn't blow me away, but I enjoyed them. Lastly someone commented that the restaurant was in a luxury hotel, with luxury prices. This is not true. The fajitas were $24, the Alfredo was $24. And because we stayed at the hotel they gave us 2 coupons for free wine/beer. Service was fast, staff very attentive, and friendly. Don't let the negative reviews scare you away. We would eat here again. read more

Food was good but service slow - don't ask for condiments bc you will not get them. Good luck getting your glass refilled ... doesn't matter if wine or water. Enjoy what you get the first time bc you're not getting anymore read more

Restaurant is inside the Crowne plaza. Service was okay. There was not a lot of options for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free and menu is not clearly marked. Had what I considered to be subpar vegetable fajitas with corn tortillas. They did not have all the typical stuff with it. Was definitely overpriced. I would recommend eating dinner prior to going to the hotel if you can. read more

For being hotel food, everything had great flavor and was well made. I would come here a lot!

5 across the board for service. But I ordered my steak rare and it was medium at best. For the price steaks should be cooked correctly. But the staff was top notch!!!! read more

Milagros (server) is a problem. I want lettuce on my Fajitas and when I ask for $24 Fajitas and lettuce, she straight up said, "no." How does a restaurant say no to such an easy request. I'm kinda mad and I'm writing this while angry. So take that in stride. Nevertheless, I can't have lettuce. I can have 3 other toppings I don't want, but not lettuce. Never coming back. Like ever. read more

My husband and I just had the best burger ever! It was not on the menu, BUT it should be!!!! The chargrilled taste coupled with the 2 slices of melted American cheese made this bar burger one to remember! If you are in the area plz try it! We are sad we can't have another one as we fly out in the morning! read more

The Best food, a super tasty variety and the service is amazing! Super clean and nice staff everyone is friendly I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys quality. read more

Breakfast buffet is extremely limited & what there is was cold and tasted old, unfortunately this is the only choice in the hotel where this restaurant is located. Choices were oatmeal (the only choice you can't really mess up) scrambled eggs - pasty, some kind of vegetable quiche - hard and dried out, potato cakes - well done and tasted horrible, bad enough to spit out, and bacon - not cooked enough, the pancakes were are stuck together and dried out?! Was this food saved from previous day? This breakfast should have been "free" with stay at hotel but if food wasn't bad enough it cost $19.99! We've been to many hotels where the breakfast is included with the stay and have had AMAZING BUFFETS. The cost is way overpriced for this buffet. Servers ARE AMAZING and feel sorry they have to endure seeing customers suffer through this food. read more

This restaurant is somewhat confusing, it advertised as a Mexican restaurant but the menu was predominantly American cuisine. I ordered steak fajitas and my friend had what would I call them the enchiladas. The steak fajita platter came out sizzling hot but consisted of mostly onions and very little of anything else except the steak. The enchilada and yellow rice platter looked and tasted as if it came out of the Hungry Man frozen dinner box. Quite honestly I don't think the enchiladas were even that good. This was not so good Mexican food from a mom and pop local restaurant in a luxury hotel with luxury hotel prices. read more

What a total surprise this place was! Drinks were fabulous, food was outstanding, and our server made it the perfect experience. I can't say enough how surprised we were that this place tucked inside a hotel was so good. I'd recommend coming here even if you aren't staying at the hotel. read more

Dismal spot for overpriced, mediocre food. We spent $55 on an unremarkable cheese quesadilla and two small salads. The Crowne Plaza is great, but you'll be better off taking a taxi out for dinner. read more

Over priced. Not much menu variety for a hotel. Ordered $6 oatmeal for breakfast and got a small hot bowel of water with a few oats in it. No thanks. Dennys has better oatmeal. Sadly nothing else around when staying at this hotel so you are stuck with this..... read more

Just.So.Bad. Dinner role was nuked. Tasted like sawdust. It was the highlight of the meal.

It was yummy in my tummy there was some good service five stars she not been two weeks from now my tummy was

Absolutely awful!!! Breakfast was cold and tasteless. A complete waste of money! First and last time I'll eat there!!

Dinner, cocktails, and all-around service (bar, servers, front desk, parking, housekeeping) makes this place 5 stars. The breakfast is hit and miss, and standard American breakfast is expensive (even by hotel standards) but the servers are super sweet. read more

This is the Crowne Plaza's restaurant. I was unexpectedly stuck here for a night so I blew in for a quick meal. I'll have nightmares about what was served to me for the rest of my life! After a few bites of this junk, it's amazing I have a life to have nightmares in! Things started off nicely. I sat at the bar and the bartender was excellent. I'm a Priority Club member so my 1st drink was free. I perused the menu and ordered the BEEF ENCHILADAS for $16. The two enchiladas came with refried beans, rice, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. It was served quickly on the predictably hot plate. The first hint that things would not go well was the color of the guac. The color was so strange I was afraid to even touch it with my fork. I slid it off my plate with the corner of my napkin. A patron sitting next to me took one look and moved his seat. Now it was time to cut into my enchilada. I had to use a great deal of force. There was something beyond firm hidden in there. It turned out to be some weird machine extruded beef log. It had the texture of one of those Slim Jims you see by the cash register in convenience stores. I got stuck on my fork and I had to pry it off with my knife. As I stared at it the guy that had moved his seat before took a look and moved even further away. If I was at home I wouldn't even feed this to my dogs. They would probably bite me before they died! One star! read more

Had shrimp fajitas. Tasty but more onions than shrimp But again good flavor The hotel he's going through major renovations so the restaurant is temporarily in a conference room. I felt like I was in a meeting but that's not their fault. Andres our waiter was excellent! read more

Restaurant and staff were nice but the meal was extremely pricey. Spent close to $100 per person. Food had little to no seasoning. Steak was cooked properly but not seasoned. The calamari was overcooked and rubbery. The vegetables taste like frozen plastic. This is not the place to get a good meal, however they do have tasty cocktails. read more

During a pre-cruise overnight stay at Crowne Plaza Hotel (Fort Lauderdale), my wife and I decided to try Kiki's Mexican Restaurant and Bar, located on the 5th floor of the hotel, for dinner. Great atmosphere! GM Carlos Restepo, Bartender Andres, and of course our Server Milagro were welcoming, attentive, and super friendly! Did I mention that our entrees (steak fajitas and seafood special over pasta were delicious and the portions considerable!!! An awesome experience!!! Kudos to all!!! read more

Slow service in a not too crowded place. Staff were pleasant but forgot to refill water glass and bring wine order. We shared a lobster ravioli and it was tasty. It came with a mixed green salad which we also shared. The staff did comp a glass of wine at the end. Nothing special just convenient because we're staying here for the eve before a cruise. read more

I was literally afraid to go here during our overnight stay at the Crowne Plaza because of Yelp reviews, but I can happily say that they are outdated. The food is delicious. My mom had the chicken fajitas, which had grilled flavor and came with a freshly made guacamole. I had the ground beef enchiladas and made the mistake of asking my server, Luz, to have the ranchero sauce put on the side. She told me it was delicious and I didn't listen. Oh my god. Drench everything in that sauce. It has layers of flavor (pieces of veggies that have been simmered with spices in a tomato sauce). Btw, everything down to the tortillas is homemade. Go now. Ask for Luz to be your server (lovely lady who is super sweet and helpful). She was truly a ray of light during our short time in this city. 5 stars for her service and the food. read more

7 coconut shrimp for $15 ? No thanks . Truthfully, the coconut shrimp even Tasted like something you can grab from a Costco wholesale spot for significantly less . Pricey, not entirely special of a spot unless you value decent service cause I'll admit they came and went quick . I'll happily take my business elsewhere . read more

What a lovely experience we had. From our free shuttle ride to Kiki's from our hotel to the tasty food and wonderful service. If you're in the Ft. Lauderdale you must check out Kiki's. Ask for Marco too! Server extraordinaire!! read more

Food was good for an airport. Would eat again if in the area. Service was good as expected.

Service was great- Nachos super overpriced. The $10.99 nachos had 8 chips. (yea, you read that right- there were so few we could easily see and count every single chip!) While the guacamole did taste handmade, it wasn't outstanding enough to warrant a price of almost $1.50 PER CHIP. For that price, there should be almost a half avocado per chip! Our server, Andres, was very friendly and courteous. It's just hard to get over the expensive per-piece price. read more

Hmm.... I feel quite bad for this place. We are staying at the hotel and received one free drink at the bar. Unfortunately we could not use it because we didn't purchase a meal. That's fine, you couldn't pay me to eat here because it's so expensive. It's hard to justify spending so much when you feel skeptical just by having a drink. I was with my boyfriend and we wanted to have a drink before going out to dinner. We sat down for a drink where we were informed we could only have beer or wine on the happy hour menu. We quickly ordered a beer. Once we were finished with our beer my boyfriend went to the restroom and our waiter nagged me to have another. He told me it was two for the price of 1 so I said fine and got another. This situation made me feel uncomfortable because I said no multiple times but he kept pushing and pushing. I could honestly see this restaurant being successful if they drop the prices down and get some good service. I'm not saying the service we had was bad, I'm just saying I didn't like the nagging. read more

I've had 4 meals and I would give this place 5 stars for the drinks 3 for the food. It's your typical overpriced hotel room standard menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. I did enjoy the steak omelette in the morning filled with cheese steak onions and peppers. With so many wonderful dining options in the area I would recommend going to Kelly's Lansing for lunch or dinner or Joe's diner for breakfast. read more

This is a decent hotel bar/restaurant. The menu is very limited, but the service was friendly and fast. If you are staying at the Crowne Plaza in Fort Lauderdale then I would recommend eating here. The restaurant options are scarce in this area of the city and some of the people walking the streets at night were shady to say the least. read more

Fresh and hot food. Service was excellent both visits for dinner and breakfast. Breakfast "buffet" could use some more options for $16 per person. All staff at this hotel excel in customer service read more

The worst. Had beef fajitas very tough very little meat. All onion. Waiter no personality he needs to retire 60.00 for 2. Horrible

The best Mexican American restaurant in Fort Lauderdale . Their salmon is really good, I normally get it with their Cesar salads!
