    My friend Alison made a reservation for us to eat here before seeing the Hard Rock Guitar Christmas lights show. Our party was already inside so we walked right in to our table. Lovely waitress came by to take our drink order. I decided on the lychee caipirinha. It was delicious and strong. We started with the charcuterie plate. The fig spread definitely elevated the flavor of the meats and cheeses. The Philly cheesesteak was tasty. The manager was also a pleasure to speak with.

    Nice glass of Pino

    Interesting bar with interactive private sports rooms. I got an Aperol spritz on happy hour for $10. Every day during the week from 11a - 6p is happy hour. Took a quick tour of the many sporting rooms one with two sets of golf clubs to use. Going to come back with a group of friends to play. Starting next week, every Monday at 7pm is golf night league for teams of 2.

    We came to eat here before viewing the Christmas light display (light display was awesome). The food and drinks here are your average bar food but overpriced in my opinion. I wouldnt go out of my way to come here again.

    Checked out this place to host a happy hour with my co workers. I wanted to try out something interactive. I booked a area as it was going to be a large group of us. We ordered appetizers for the table and some cocktails that were on the happy hour menu. The wings hands down were phenomenal, highly recommend them. My issue was that several of the pieces needed to play the different sports were broken which was disappointing. For the food and activity altogether it wasn't a bad price. I could see myself going again.

    I came here for a Ft. Lauderdale Chamber event and got to check out the games. They have 5 areas with virtual games (dodgeball, golf, as and. More) It's nice because you have your own little area so you can have a party. They have a full bar so you can order drinks as well.

    The drinks was on point Once again I found myself in the casino When family is in town you go where you gotta go The ambience is a cross over with a dive bar with arcade adult games . Nice. Our server was very attentive - thank you Laila We ordered the chicken quesadillas and the burger And we were not disappointed and once again I was amazed by the food one would find in a casino. The food brought us back to our childhoods Food 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Location 5/5

    Salad

    I came in for lunch and am happy I had time to kill. I was the only person in the restaurant, so I sat at the bar. The bartender was extremely friendly. I did order a salad with chicken on it. It's not a complicated order at all. I have no idea what took them so long, but it was beyond an eternity for the chicken salad. The salad cost me $28, the most expensive salad I have ever paid anywhere I have traveled. Yes, the argument can be made that you are at the Hard Rock; what did you expect? I wanted a salad that would blow me away, but this was not it at all. It was an average salad. Other items may be worth the heavy price tag, but this was not it in the least.

    We came here before seeing a show at hard rock live. We reserved ahead of time where you can use your credit card to reserve your space in one of the bays. The bays include a lot of virtual game options which was cool, however not too sure about the accuracy of the games. For example, in basketball, we were hitting the backboard repeatedly, but never got any points! We had a few drinks and we ordered chips and salsa, which was absolutely terrible not even pretending to be restaurant quality. So we decided not to eat dinner there. At first, I thought it would be a fun place to go with a group but after this experience, I don't think I'll be returning.

    We stopped by here for lunch after a pool party in the area. We had Cobb Salad with chicken. It was really good and hit the spot. The bill was $58 + tip for 2 small salads, just in case you are curious. A bit on the high side. We drank water. Our server was Jennifer, who was friendly and attentive. This is a cool spot to play virtual golf, get some good food, good drinks, and hang out. It's part of Seminole Hard Rock. This was our second time here.

    Phenomenal networking event for Social Impact Committee of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce this morning! Last monthly breakfast meeting of 2024. Delicious food supplied by Jessica of the always delicious Red Chair Catering, and Mimosas by the fabulous PLA bartending staff! Wonderful ambiance, fun and upbeat with games available to play after the presentation! If you're looking for a different venue for a Party or Event, this place is a winner!

    Came for a work outing, let me start with ambiance, if you are an entertainment location, I'd say it doesn't matter what day it is you have to entertain. But for the benefit of the doubt it was Monday afternoon. Games: selection is not bad however the equipment has seen BETTER DAYS!!! They need to replace a lot of things here replenish and ensure all chests have all and enough items to play with. I noticed in one chest there was no baseball and other items were missing. There's no consistency here. The games need to be calibrated. The rooms are a little tight to play certain games... there's a risk you could hit someone... but no worries about it that's why you have to SIGN A waiver before you play. Food: we ordered appetizers platters; first off the chicken wings were over salted, the pizza was dried and undercooked, and lacked seasoning... I didn't tasted the sliders nor the chicken strips. Service was a bit slow, I am sure they could've sold more if the service was more attentive... not too impressed this time around.

    It was my first time in an interactive sports bar , and all I can say it was so much fun . So many games to play as a team or solo ! The staff was super friendly and the drinks were amazing ! I had a coconut mojito with no alcohol and the bartenders still make sure it was delicious! Can't wait to come with friends for a night out !

Service was great, even with how busy the place was, they still had time to make it a good experience. The cocktails were great, well mixed, good quality. We had a few appetizers and enjoyed them very much. The hookah experience was exceptional, no charging extra for charcoal scam, no waiting for charcoal as the hookah server checked in it often and maintained it like a true hookah lounge. Music was very good, DJ is in the bar area so it gets very crowded there Plenty of parking next to the lounge and there was no fee to park. The bathroom is an issue, as there are only 2, If I was the business owner I would fix the bathroom problem by making them toilets only, the area would fit 6 separate doors and put a long sink on the outside wall Overall, great experience, I will be back soon

The cappuccino I ordered was extremely disappointing: watery and tasteless, more like diluted milk. It honestly feels like there is no proper barista who understands how to make a good cappuccino. Things only got worse -- I had to look for a server myself just to get sugar, and after asking, it still took another ~10 minutes. We waited around 25 minutes for the Philadelphia rolls, which is already quite long, but the result was even worse: there was barely any cream cheese. The taste was completely off -- just poorly made rolls with almost no filling. I visited this place about six months ago and the service was noticeably better. Now it feels like both the service and food quality have significantly declined. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place.

Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!

Elvis may have left the building but we were certainly welcomed in by the pretty atmosphere and the smells of delicious Italian food. We pulled into an almost empty parking lot at 6:30 midweek and walked in with a reservation for a party of 4. We sat inside because it was a warm evening but the covered outside seating looked so pretty and casual. Once seated, we ordered bar drinks and the Meatball, and Eggplant Roll up appetizers. They were very good in flavor and portion size. Our entrées were the grilled Branzino which is great for a person on a low carb diet at an Italian restaurant. It was served with wilted fresh spinach and some other grilled veggies lightly place on top with a light sauce underneath it all. Simply delicious! My husband ordered the Lasagna which was huge and full of meat and cheeses with just enough extra sauce to dip the complimentary fresh bread into it. My friend's husband had asked if it was possible to do the Chicken Parm NOT breaded and although the chef didn't recommend it, my friend loved it, and it too was a large portion. Our very lovely young lady server also informed us that our entrées came with a complimentary glass of red wine, which we assumed was a weekday special. It was a nice gesture but the wine was not anything special.

We met the chef/owner during our visit -- he is clearly passionate about his food and committed to the pleasure of his customers, which shows in every detail. We had the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and spinach. The chops were perfectly seared with a savory crust that gave way to tender, juicy meat; the potatoes were silky and comforting, and the spinach added a fresh, garlicky lift. My other half had the Bronzino -- flaky and delicate, with a crisp, lemon-kissed skin and subtle briny notes that paired beautifully with a light, herbed sauce. Both dishes were thoughtfully seasoned and full of layered flavors. The staff were phenomenal from start to finish. Our waitress, Kim, was especially attentive and informative -- knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer suggestions. We always ask ourselves, "Would we be back?" The answer is yes -- highly recommended for excellent food, attentive service, and a wonderful waterfront setting. OOHHH my sweet goodness, I forgot to mention the dessert ...
