    Jerk chicken fresh off the grill
    Ashlee G.

    Best Authentic Jamaican food I have had since I've been in FL. The customer service was great! The young ladies were very accommodating for me and my children, although the set up isn't really made for small children because they only have high top tables. But my family and I were treated very kind and when I food came it was amazing! I've been eating there 3 days in a row because their food is that delicious. Now I will admit the area isn't my kind of comfortability but the food is worth every visit and the prices are great as well! It's nothing like having great food that doesn't cost a fortune! I've had plenty expensive Jamaican food that is either very Americanized or just plain out nasty on top of rude employees. This place is nothing like that. And they have great customer service! It's a WIN WIN! ‍ extra bonus, they sell Jamaican beverages and beer and wine as well. You can definitely eat good and drink good.

    Hair in food & horrible customer service. I was trying to work with the lil attitude issue and gave them another try. But hair in food. Now that's just plain disgusting. They will not get my business again.

    I ordered the brown stew chicken, based on yelp reviews. Horrible the best part of the meal was the sweet plantains & the Kola Champagne that saved me from chocking on that dry food. The food was inedible, just tasteless and terribly dry. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Not authentic Jamaican food, quite an embarrassment.

    SMALL order of jerk chicken!

Yesterday I had a fried fish sandwich with crispy sweet potato fries and my husband had salmon in Romesco sauce on a bed of haricot vert and finished with bits of fennel on top. From the happy hour menu (3 p.m. - 6 p.m.), one of our friends had tempura shrimp, one had steak on skewers, and another had large shrimp in a beautiful sauce on toasted bread. We had chips and guacamole and shrimp dishes on the table and they were scraped clean! The food was so good that no one took leftovers because we ate everything! The chairs and bench seats are super comfy so if you're like our group, you're going to want to stay for a while. We kept moving around to talk with others in our group because it was like being in someone's house. The bartender and server were excellent. Nicole, our bartender, made a coffee martini that was better than what my friend expected. She realized that other bars served it wrong! I ordered Don Julio 1942 and they had it. My husband loved his pinot noir and another friend loved her fresh strawberry and mint drink so much that she ordered another! The head on my friend's beer was proper and that was nice. Everyone loved the drinks. Our server, Timiya was stealth. She took orders and even took pics for us with such quietness that the energy at our table was unbroken. As the person who suggested Burton's, I loved that I didn't have to worry about anything. Stephen Fithian, the manager, is really focused on making sure everything is smooth. Nothing gets past him, and judging from the professionalism of the servers and runners, that focus is on every level. Everyone at our table got the right drinks/food. We were welcome to enjoy ourselves - the server let us sit for a couple of hours before presenting the bills. I could not ask for anything more. We had such a great time that, while in the restaurant, my friends asked me to arrange another happy hour at Burtons. Will do!

    An absolutely delicious and amazing place that I have gotten food to go from. I will make sure to…read morecome in and try enjoying the entire atmosphere and service because if it is anything like mine to go experience it has to be impeccable also. The only thing that is very tough to find around here is the parking because half of the lot is valet parking and the other is shared with businesses around the restaurant. Once I found parking I was greeted by somebody opening the door from my wife and I and as soon as we walked in we were basically jumped upon to make sure that we were having a good afternoon so far and if we needed any help. When we said we were getting it to go order they were very quick with calling on the radio to get our food picked up. I really enjoyed the open wall concept to where I could watch the kitchen and everybody cooking the food while I waited. Once we got our order and left I couldn't wait to start eating. We got a steak and the octopus appetizer. The octopus appetizer was absolutely phenomenal but I will say it is a little pricey for what you get. The flavors of the octopus and the texture was out of this world though! The steak was cooked perfectly at a medium rare and was massive! The seasoning that they used and the charring on it was impeccable as well. I had leftovers from the steak for a couple days because of how big it was . Overall an amazing place and one that I am excited to go back to again!

    Went to Kaluz for dinner recently while visiting the area…read more The entrance is very inviting and so is the whole vibe of the restaurant. We were seated right away since we had reservations. I ordered a Lychee Martini and it was really really good, so fresh tasting and strong. For my meal ordered the crab cakes with a loaded baked potato, the Entree only comes with the carrots and no other sides, I'm glad I ordered the potato because the two small crab cakes would not have filled me. If you're used to eating a really full meal then you'll need two entrees here lol, the portions were quite small. The actual taste and flavors were really good though. Service was great, but I don't feel for the price they gave enough food.

Alexander's consistently puts out good food, good service, and a good vibe. Our server was 'Faith' and she was stellar! One of us got there way too early (like 10 minutes before everyone else) but even camping in her section with just a cocktail she never made us feel uncomfortable or awkward about it. One of us had special requests for her meal, no problem. One of us rolled in 5 minutes AFTER everyone else had arrived and ordered their drinks already, again... no problem. Faith is a superstar.

We walked in without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us. It definitely got busy as the evening went on, but the service remained great throughout our meal. Most of us ordered the steak and fries, while a few swapped the fries for baked potatoes. The steaks were cooked well, the fries were amazing, and overall the food was VERY good. We also ordered the artichokes to share. I'm not usually an artichoke fan, but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised! And the dessert... SO GOOD. We had the white chocolate cheesecake, and it was easily one of the highlights. Their whipped cream is made in-house, and you can definitely tell. We also had drinks with dinner and really enjoyed those as well. My only two small critiques were the atmosphere. There was a slight lingering smell inside--not necessarily moldy, but possibly from the humidity and the carpet. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of carpet in restaurants for that reason. We also had one persistent fly that kept making its way around our table and food, which was a little annoying. That said, the restaurant itself appeared clean. One thing I would LOVE to see them add is fresh bread! This just feels like the kind of restaurant that should bring out a basket of warm, fresh bread while you're waiting for your meal. Overall, I'd give the experience about an 8.5-9/10. Great food, great service, delicious dessert, and a nice dinner for our first night in town. I would definitely come back!

    Naked Farmer is in Sunrise and offers some fresh food for dine in or on the go…read more The first time I had Naked Farmer was in Tampa and was so excited when I learned that they had a location in South FL to try. We came after a busy morning at the beach and I was craving something fresh. After a quick search on Yelp, I found Naked Farmer and was reminded that we were super close to it. It's fairly close to Sawgrass Mills mall and is in a plaza with a good amount of parking. Although the outside seems small, the space inside is pretty long and has a good amount of seating. The servining is "chipotle-style" where you order your food and customize it how you want it and pay at the register at the end. I shared a bowl with my partner and we got half rice and half greens, some toppings, and the chicken thigh. This was a good amount for us to share and it was delicious! We also tried their date cake and my partner was a huge fan of it. I loved how clean the inside was and how nice all the staff was. They had water cups for self service and it was cold even without ice, which I loved! When you're done with your food, you put them away in a cabinet which is constantly cleaned out by staff which helped give the space a clean aesthetic. Very thought through and intentional on their behalf. Loved Naked Farmer and would definitely get again if I'm in the area or craving something fresh!

And the place is brightly lit and seems to be really clean. On this day, I decided to try the roasted chicken. I believe it was supposed to have some type of rosemary on it. I'm not sure what's going on these days but it seems like most places are cooking chicken when it's still frozen. It just had that cooked from frozen texture to it. It was tough and bland. I tried the macaroni and cheese, which I did like and the carrots, which I also did like, both solid sides something I would get again. I was able to get the kale Caesar with my plate, which I thought was excellent. It had the right amount of dressing on it. I do plan on returning to try the salmon. Hopefully I have a better experience with that.
