    Pastelitos
    Raul A.

    One of my favorite cuban bakery chains, this is the first time I've been to this one and it was excellent! Extremely clean inside, staff was nice and food was great! Ordered a box full of cuban pastries including my favorite the guava and cream cheese pastries as well as some ham croquettes. I also ordered some desserts for later. Highly recommend this place.

    Wonderful service. Dog friendly outdoors and the food was yummy! A great spot to meet a friend or grab a light bite. Pastries for the win.

    My to go to breakfast place Normally it's just coffee and a treat but today decided to get the breakfast platter . Definitely enough for 2 . This plate used to be 9.99 then 10.99 now $11.99 . Scrambled Eggs with ham , fries, Cuban bread w butter & cafe con leche . Side of bacon is a good price for $1.50 add on , the staff is great always helpful and friendly .

    This is a newer CAO than the one I normally go too. Came on a Saturday morning and no one on line. Everything tasted good. There was a mix up with my order but it was resolved simply, I paid extra to get my order right. Inside was well lite with music playing on the back ground.

    Love the convenient hours, food, coffee, & swiftness of everything. Even if they're busy you're in & out. The restaurant itself is super cute, clean, & spacious. All the workers are really nice & sweet. I enjoy this location.

    Presentation in the promotional flyer.

    I purchased 2 trays for my New Year's Eve party and they were completely wrong. When I saw the presentation, I asked for a Manager and the lady in charge (blonde lady, don't remember her name) was very condescending and dismissive. She spoke to me as if I was an idiot. Having worked as a Hotel General Manager for over 20 years, it gives me a wide experience in restaurants and catering and this is by far, the worst ever. Unfortunately, not the first time it happens. One of the sandwiches had mold (already reported to the Dept. of Health). The Holiday Bites Platter was given to me in 2 boxes instead on a tray like it was advertised. See pictures attached.

    5-20-23 Was across the street at the dry cleaners thought I would finally stop in for a quick snack. I haven't gone through these doors since it was Wings and Curlz. Believe me the former was nothing to write home about in fact it was gross and that's what lead to it's demise. Now this place is the utter opposite they truly must have gutted the old restaurant as everything inside is clean, fresh and new. In fact it is one big open space. So I read the signs above stand here to order so I get a beef pastelito and a cortadito no sugar. For just $4. truly a bargain. I get it to go once I get in my car I can't help my self and the pastelito is delicious just the perfect balance of meat. As for the cortadito it gave me the jolt of the energy I needed. Definitely will not take me too long to return soon.

    Croquetica speaking... stay six feet apart.

    Zalie Cakes in downtown Hollywood is a unique bakery at the rear of the shop selling freshly baked…read morered velvet and banana mini-cakes for $4.00, in addition to Oreo Brookies, Cinnamon Buns and Cookie Butter Babka Rolls Cheesecake. The baked treats are all dairy free, egg free and vegan. We purchased the banana mini cake which was moist and delish. The big deal is every Tuesday with $2.00 mini cakes. We came on a very busy time since there were over twenty customers on a food walk tour trying to get their baked treats at once and it seemed the person behind the counter was overwhelmed, and I was too. The shop had really nostalgic items from the 70s and 80s scattered around the room including old albums and toys with a nice giant blue velvetish shoe seat. The parking was easy on the street for $1.50 an hour so not bad at all. They do offer a big parking garage too.

    What a cool little shop I stumbled into!…read more I was in the area checking out a shop from across the street and stumbled into Zalie Cakes! Immediately I was drawn in by the amazing music playlist that was playing and was immediately in awe by their cool things they had! Lots of vintage, lots of music, a little bit of everything! They have coffee, ice cream, and cakes! They are vegan, and have a lot of alternatives like no dairy c no eggs and such. The woman who helped us was super nice and attentive and was sure to get our order in. I'll definitely be sure to visit again !!

    I've been twice. Not the same experience, but both good:…read more Once for lunch on a slow weekday. I sat inside by the window. Amazing scenery over the lake/inter-coastal. I had a burger and fries. It was fantastic. It was not busy, and I got very attentive personalized service. I watched the game on the tv and worked a bit. Food was delicious. View was perfect. Service as top notch. 5 stars. Once for brunch on a busy Saturday (today). I got steak and eggs. It was good. For some reason when I order medium well I get well done unless at a steak house, and this was no different. Overcooked, but good. For $26 I'm not complaining at all. Came with has browns, two eggs, and fresh bread. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The Saturday hostess should be in another business. She didn't do bad, but she is just not a hostess material. No warmth. No smile. No welcome. She did her job and I got a table (after spending 5 minutes looking for the host stand. It's outside. I went through the front door and never saw it and there are no signs). On the other hand, the server was great. Very polite, friendly, and attentive. Coffee and water stayed full. View outside was the same as inside, but with fresh air. Watching the boats and Florida fish like tarpon is fun. Water is calm and beautiful. I recommend Giorgio's. Good prices, good food, good service. Not perfect, but 4.5 stars in aggregate. Food with a view.

    The food was just not flavorful. The fruiti de mar was okay but the flavor was not there, tasted…read moreold and the sauce was disappointing. Large portion but you are just paying for the view here at Giorgio's The view was great the service was friendly.
