We were here to check on a show that was playing in their back room. We got here early though and met up with friends, so we could enjoy the wine a bit and check it out. It really is a great spot. There was a good size crowd for a Thursday. We tried a couple wines, both were solid. the bartender was nice and the ambiance of the place was very welcoming. When it was about showtime we went in the back. Its a kooky room with a really high ceiling and accustic improving wall appliances. The show was fun; a DJ, a fella on bongos, and a gal came out and played cello to a couple songs too. Very glad we took a chance on driving down for this eclectic show. Harrison has alot of good spots that come and go, I hope this one sticks.

Out of our love for wine, we will try any wine bar here in South Florida or anywhere in the world…read more All are so unique. The Vintage has everything we love all wrapped in one place. 1. A great selection of wines. 2. A bar that focuses on tastings 3 A great selection of food items to enjoy while drinking your favorite wine, not just a few bar bites. 4. TVs for watching our favorite football games, one placed and centered at the back of the bar to easily see and one above where we are seated. The atmosphere is friendly and our server was very chill, allowing us to taste a couple of the wines we were interested in. All the wines by the glass or bottle were listed clearly on a chalk board. Great variety listed by grape and wine producer/name of the wine. We chose a light Carmanere although the other ones we talked we also good. Since my wife and I were both drinking the same wine we ordered a bottle. The prices of these wines are so reasonable, in fact never seen prices this low for comparable wines. You can also purchase wines off their display of wines in a separate wine room at 30-40 percent off the prices you drink them at in house if you purchase 3 wines to take home. Great variety there as well and offers wines from different wine regions around the world. Our food choices off the menu were Prosciutto Wrapped Dates, Artichokes and a beautiful Beef Carpaccio Plate. All were presented beautifully and paired well with our Carmanere. We did order clams but they were tiny and did not care for them. Friendly cozy bar. Not too big and conducive to meeting people. So we saw all our football games we wanted to watch , drank great wine paired with some great dishes. Yes , we purchased 3 bottles to take home after including the Carmanere we drank. Definitely coming back. This place is different.

Not a huge selection. Would have liked to try more wines from France. Also they were a bit expensive. Not worth it. In Orlando, you can try many wines for a few bucks.

I'm visiting the Foodie & Cocktail BFF and we're looking for a post dinner place in Fr. Lauderdale…read morewhere we can catch up over some cocktails on a weekday night. 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!

The staff is attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. What really sets this place apart is chef E.J. ; The dishes just keep coming, and every single one hits. The cornbread alone is worth the visit--hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory, perfectly soft, and just melts in your mouth. It's the kind of dish you end up talking about long after you leave. I also tried one of the night specials, the jerk chicken pasta, and it was flawless. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Honestly, I have zero negative remarks. Everything--from service to food to atmosphere--was dialed in. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

My wife and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels like coming home. The genuine hospitality and personal attention from the staff are what keep us coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding. Whether we're trying a new dish or ordering one of our favorites, every meal is prepared with care, quality ingredients, and incredible attention to detail. You can tell there is a passion for great food behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. The bar program deserves special recognition as well. The bartenders work with fresh ingredients and premium spirits, and you can taste the difference immediately. Every cocktail is balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted rather than simply poured. It's clear they take as much pride in the drinks as the kitchen does in the food. The service team is equally impressive. The waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and accommodating without ever making you feel rushed. They genuinely want you to enjoy your experience and go out of their way to make every visit memorable. The atmosphere is another reason this place stands out. The music is always perfectly curated, creating the ideal backdrop for an intimate dinner, date night, or evening out with friends. It strikes that rare balance of being lively and energetic while still allowing for conversation. What truly separates this restaurant from others is the sense of community. It's one of the few places where you're greeted with a hug when you arrive and often another when you leave. That level of warmth and authenticity simply can't be manufactured. If you're anywhere near South Florida, it's absolutely worth making the trip to Hollywood for an unforgettable dining experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the focaccia bread. It may sound simple, but it's one of the stars of the menu--fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the ideal way to start an exceptional meal. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where great food, great people, and great memories come together.

We seated at the front table since we were a larger party. It was hard to hear people talking. I felt like I was competing with the music speaker above us. We started with cocktails which were good. I got the limoncello martini. The basil made it really "earthy" and if ordering again, I'd skip. I wasn't too hungry so we did family style and shared. My favorite dish was the meatball and the sausage dish. I had higher expectations for the chicken parm. The arancini tasted a little burnt. That was my first time having it so I was surprised when I saw it basically looked like a meatball. Overall, a great night with friends. The pistachio cake was delicious!!

The ambiance of the place is lovely, decorated with string lighting that looks so gorgeous at night. The patio area is much bigger than I anticipated and even has some larger tables for any larger parties. We started off with an appetizer of the peach burrata, which was tasty! I would give it 4/5. We then got wine flights which I thought were such a great value for the price. You get 3 small sized wine glasses for $15 and get to sample three wines! Definitely recommend this 5/5. As entrees, we shared two entrees - the pesto pasta and the gnocchi which at the time was made with a pork type of sauce. Both were very delicious and we really enjoyed the flavors of both. The consistency of the gnocchi's sauce was a bit interesting, as it was all sort of blended together, but the flavor was very good! Would give them each 4/5. We ended the night with tiramisu - delicious and the presentation was very cute. I haven't had very much tiramisu to compare against, but I'll give it 5/5 as I really enjoyed it! As for service, our waitress was very attentive and nice but note that they can get busy on weekend evenings, so expect a little bit of a wait. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed the food. My favorite part of the night were the ambiance and the wine flights. I hope to come back again soon!

Not fall apart like they should be. Tasted almost like when you microwave meat too long. The chicken Milanese was soggy, not crispy like a breaded pan cooked chicken should be and also tasted tough and a bit overcooked. I was surprised that zero sauce, or a side of pasta was not served along with it either. Very dry and bland. It appeared to be almost 2-3 very large chicken cutlets that are served on a cutting board. The vodka sauce pasta was also a bit bland and unflavorful. Very sad as this has always been a favorite spot of mine but tonight was very disappointing. I will say, wait service and all staff were absolutely amazing. Very attentive and kind.

It is inspired in the amalfi coast because of all the lemons and fresh flavors. We came during the week as it is only open for dinner and didn't want to deal with the weekend crazies. We tried their spritz lemonica (prosecco, limoncello and soda) and their lemonica martini (vodka, limoncello and orange liqueur). Both were delicious and the martini was creamy which was surprising. The server brought a complimentary small plate of baked (?) pizza dough in the shape of triangles to start. We ordered their cheese board which came with a tiny pitcher of honey and blueberries and almonds. 4 or 5 different cheeses: Parmesan, a smoky one that was good, Brie and two others I can't remember. For main dishes we tried the rigatoni allá vodka and two meatballs and the pasta alla carbonara with chicken. Pasta was fresh and everything was good. Carbonara could have used a little bit of salt but that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately we didn't try their desserts or pizzas so we will be going back for that.
