South Florida Dining's review of S3

To date, there is nothing like this place in the Fort Lauderdale Area, it is more like you would expect in Miami Beach. This is a very different style of restaurant, cutting edge doesn’t begin to describe it. To start, their menu has a large variety of items to choose from and the food comes out of multiple kitchens. The best way to order is to pick several different dishes to share. The food will come to your table as soon as it comes up in the kitchen and this means that your plates will not necessarily come out together. This is such a good concept especially if you come in with a large group of people. The Sushi is Remarkably Fresh and the Crafted Drinks are Very Unique.

South Florida Dining's review of Sunset Grille

We visited the location while staying in Marathon at the Knights Key Inn. Being less than half a block walking distance made it a no brainer. During our first visit, the night we arrived we ordered some appetizers and basic cocktails. We started with the 7-mile Lobster Bites that were really mouth-watering and melted in your mouth like butter. Next up was the Chilled Shrimp with Avocado Salsa served with a generous portion of Corn Chips. Lastly, we had the Boom Boom Shrimp that can only be described as Boom Boom Fantastic! Truly a treat for the taste buds. The service was quick and efficient. Jordan, the Bartender poured some nice cocktails and was nonstop. The next day we returned and sat indoors near the pool, yes, the pool.

South Florida Dining's review of Cafe Maxx

As Darrel Broek, the host and one of the owners of Café Maxx, walked us to our table. I glance at some of the set tables and noted to myself that they were all perfectly set, every setting was identically placed and every table impeccably uniform. As soon as we were seated our server, Jane, introduced herself and offered us water, and took our drink orders. Shortly after she brought us a large basket of fresh mixed bread and then proceeded to take our orders. I must note that one of the unique things at Café Maxx is that the menu is pretty much created daily. Yes, daily! For starters, we had an Escargot Phyllo Purse and the Thai Grilled Sea Scallops both masterfully plated and incredibly delicious.

South Florida Dining's review of Cinque Terra

opportunity to try Cinque Terre in Davie. First, we must thank our close friends Patty & Joe who had raved about the cuisine and made this a “must go” for us. We started off the evening with the Octopus that is poached, pan-seared & finished in the oven in a garlic-herb sauce as an appetizer. The octopus was so tender that you could cut it with a fork it was like butter and the taste was vividly delicious. I could not get enough of the pieces of roasted garlic. I ordered the Lasagna with Meat Sauce & Béchamel that I have been told is one of the best around. I loved it so much that I cleaned the plate with the bread that was in the basket

South Florida Dining's review of Marker 88

Once the drinks arrived we ordered the Crab Cake for an appetizer. All that I can say about the crab cake is “simply incredible”. You need to stop here just for this. The Crab Cake is loaded with Lump Crab Meat, seasoned to match its Seafood Perfection, prepared fresh to order and is served over Pommery Mustard. We then ordered the Grilled Mahi Caesar and the Alligator Reef Salad which also comes loaded with Lump Crab Meat, Hearts of Palm, Avocado, Shrimp, Grape Tomatoes, and much more. The Mahi Caesar was absolutely delicious and with a fairly large amount of Freshly Grilled Mahi Mahi.
