We found a table outside in the sun, but the tables didn't have umbrellas, which in the Florida heat, is very weird. The server went to get an umbrella for our table and the manager or owner said no umbrellas in the outdoor section. That's my only complaint. Now the good part. Food was good, service was excellent and the view was nice. The grouper nuggets and chicken tenders were delicious. Drinks are well priced and the vibe of the bar is great. Managment should definitely work in figuring out a way to have umbrellas on the outside tables so people don't die from the Florida heat.

You pass it both going to and coming from all outside recreation. The menu is limited with simple speciality appetizers; a handful of various salads; a few seafood dishes, and a smattering of burgers/other entrees. Our waitress was great, but quite busy. She was the only one working the entire afternoon. At the time of our dinner, she also had 4 other tables and 3-4 patrons at the bar. If I had to pick one thing that was bothersome, it would be the fact that I ordered my flatbread pizza without bacon and it was still brought to the table with bacon as a topping. I didn't send it back, tho, as I assumed it was premade. I would also advise you to NOT order the 'free welcome drink.' It is actually rum punch that is made with bottom shelf (if not lower) quality rum. It is nearly offensive to consume. With these trivialities, it was still a much better choice than trying to find dinner among all the concert goers here for the Tortuga Music Festival!

And then hopefully to keep the Food Network & Cooking Channel to do some focusing upon the restaurants and food offerings of Broward. It turned out to be quite an affair held at the new Conrad Hotel, which I found to be a hotel of breathtaking beauty. Held on the second floor overlooking the beach and ocean with all of the participating restaurants giving out samples of their very special bests it was gourmet's smorgasbord of taste treats. Other than gabbing a glass of their special select wine, I headed right over to see what Emeril Lagasse might have whipped up for me. To my delight he had done a quahog (general name for a large) dish stuffing the shredded clam with a mixture of ora king salmon, chourice (read Creole pork sausage meat) and molho cru, which is sometimes known as being a Portuguese fish sauce usually comprised of garlic, green onion, parsley, cumin and vinegar. Though very unique and tasty, I can't honestly say I liked it as the clam had the rubbery texture of an old fashioned tire inner tube. But, at least it was nice to try and to be introduced to some of his creative ways. It was also interesting to meet and speak with Jorge Ramos, Executive Chef of the Conrad Hotel who is rather well known for what some term as his global infusions of flavor. And indeed he sided his dish with a very uniquely flavored pork. I could go on and on about the other great foods I had here, but attempting to do such might put me into the book publishing, which would be a little much for a Yelp review. I'm going Five Stars on it because as a mere tasting, I've never had or seen better. So yeah, as good as a tasting gets.

The Big Easy came to Ft. Lauderdale for the opening day of the South Beach Wine and Food Festival…read morethanks to two amazing Chefs and Hosts of the Clambake Event, Chef Emeril Lagasse and Jorge Ramos. This event was conveniently and beautifully featured at the Conrad Condo Hotel & Residences on Ft Lauderdale Beach. The setting was perfect: On the 6th floor pool and bar area outside. The pool was beautifully lit up with different colors, a big screen TV featuring none other than food preparation and great dishes. High Top Tables with black table clothes scattered around and plenty of smaller tables and chairs around to sit. The bar was one of the largest pool bars I have ever seen in a hotel with plenty of servers and plenty of great wine selections. The best part was how all the participating restaurants and Chefs were all lined up along the back walls on the ocean side surrounding the beautifully lit up pool and also at the front of the pool area near the bar. It was definitely roomy enough to mingle, take photos and try everything with plenty of room. FORT LAUDERDALE RESTAURANTS AND CHEFS: This event was heavily and "heavenly" influenced by SEAFOOD of all different renditions, but the theme of the recipes had, definitely, the New Orleans influence what Chef Lagasse himself has done so well. He was not the only Master Chef here, but all our favorite local restaurants lived up to the style of the Big Easy. I must say, that all the participating restaurants put their best foot forward. I want to just highlight some of my favorites although there was not much not to love tonight. Our first stop was Shooters Waterfront with Chef James Cawly and his hearty Aunt GiGi's Cape Cod Chowdah with Clams, Lobster and Shrimp. The kicker was the presentation in the bread bowl. This was so incredible, I asked if this was on the regular menu because I'm coming back there for more. There were a few perfectly dishes that were a great representation of New Orleans style Cajun Cuisine that I loved (as well as great presentations): Paula DaSilva's Clambake with Clams and Tasso, Collard Greens of course in a creamy butter sauce. Thank you Burlock Coast and Paula for this great addition. Hot and Soul's Mike Hampton's Pickled Shrimp and Black Eyed Peas. Loved watching this in the making right in front of us. S3 Restaurant's Florida Spice Rum Clambake by Jordan Rivera, creamy, delicious and such flavors. I could see them mixing up the flavors together in the pot and serving it into the bowls. This could of been a meal for me. Other great highlights: Steak 954's Fried Clam Steamed Bun,,,INCREDIBLE with Pork Belly and Spicy Mayo. I love Steamed Bun recipes and this was the only one I had to go back to for another. Jorge Ramos, the Host and Chef from the Conrad as well as Emerald, himself were the last two in the line explicitly giving their best. Chef Ramos's Mojo Brined Pork Belly & Clams and Chef Lagasse's Ora King Salmon "Stuffies" were both the "Grande Finale", both excellent and a great finish. UNTIL DESSERTS: What a display by Jorge Ramos. There were Cheesecake Pops, great presentation, and Pineapple Rum Push Pops, so creative. For the final Hurrah, Chef Duff Goldman's FLUFFERNUTTER SUNDAES with peanut butter and marshmallow cream were genius. The presentation was mouthwatering. Every participant at this event did an EXTRAORDINARY JOB. There was plenty of wine to drink, but the food was so interesting, for once did not drink that much wine. Did not want to miss a good photo or a taste. All the Chefs and servers set up a terrific atmosphere as the Big Easy really did well in Ft. Lauderdale. Thank you Sobewff for setting this up and THANK YOU TO YELP BPB for this great opportunity to attend a special event close to home.
